Sharing reading while we are apart: 'Faith and Hope Go Shopping' by Joanne Harris

While we are not able to meet in person, we are missing the conversations that take place about what we are reading - are you? We wondered if we might be able to stay connected by talking about stories and poems on here, instead.

So, this is an experiment - let's see how it goes...

Here is a link to a story that we have often enjoyed in shared reading groups

The colourful characters Faith and Hope feature in several Joanne Harris short stories, available to read in her collections 'Jigs and Reels' and 'A Cat, a Hat and a Piece of String', both published by Black Swan. If you haven't met Faith and Hope before, I hope you enjoy this first encounter. The theme of escaping might have some resonance at the moment, too...

We'd love to know what you think! Let us know in the comments below.
