Lucy this is just maybe the best thing I’ve read in ages. I love this book also.

“Brighton Rock, is a metaphor for original sin:”

I think I could be falling in love with you here. Ha ha. 😊

Seriously it is fantastic and I’ll read everything you wrote now. Well done, sublime writing, the level of writing that makes people want to read it, that’s what most people don’t have, engaging, clever, lucid and beautiful.

A brilliant film of a brilliant and terrifying book. I remember the first time I read it (maybe it was the first Greene I read?) and it was compelling but so claustrophobic; the urgency and the peril and the inevitability made it hard to breathe at times.
