The Sea Saw
Up, Up, Up
I, Caroline
"There are things I feel strongly about (in no particular order): feminism,
ladybirds, short fiction, word-play, red wine, language, my two sons, dark chocolate, book reviewers/papers
who only review books from cash-rich publishing houses, blue and white crockery, the nude in
art, my homeplace (Dublin), cava, the slug's pace of the publishing world, prosecco, handbags,
Paris, old junk, fresh air, enthusiastic people, veggie food, quiet books, time alone, a special
someone."
