I haven’t got any cucumbers but there will be some squash. I’ve got raspberries, blackcurrants, peas, mizuna, pak choi. You can have some baskets too. I’ve just started re-reading Case Histories by Kate Atkinson.

It’s the first in a series of four books about Jackson Brodie. He’s a private investigator who sort of collects missing people. There was a television adaptation also called Case Histories which was well done. She was involved so they are fairly faithful except in the way that it is a different medium so sometimes the order of events is changed.

He has lost people himself. His wife has divorced him and remarried so His daughter now has a second father and he struggles with that. We find out he lost family when he was younger. I will go back and re-read the earlier books too as it’s a long time since I read them and I think I will notice more themes that continue on in her writing.
