Review: Ferrante: My Brilliant Friend

Today I reviewed a book that I have yet to finish. Why do I feel obliged to write about it? Elena Ferrante is a wonderful name. It is not a real name, it is an alias. Not much is known about Ferrante’s background. It is said that Elena grew up in Naples and is the daughter of a seamstress. Could Ferrante’s exquisitely crafted writing only be accomplished by an academic? Some critics state so. Like a beautiful journey through Italy, you are slowly and confidently bought into Ferrante’s world. The indoctrination is a raw process and an immersion into another culture, in the years after The Second World War. When I came across this book and read the title “ My Brilliant Friend” I almost avoided it. I was looking for a novel with substance. The title did not encourage me, and the cover put me off. With so many wishy-washy books published that hanker around love and relationships but never get to the grit, it would be easy to give up there and then. I read a few ...

English Literature Degree's: Private Schools Only!

Imagine starting a degree and then it all falls apart. You don't want to do you? Try for just one minute, please. So, what is this all about Tiggy? I will get straight to it, to be honest. I am lucky to have friends of all ages, and recently, a twenty-year-old pal confided in me that she loved to write. She had studied vigorously at six-form college to gain adequate A-level grades. The goal was to study English Literature at a Northern University in the UK. Her mother's family lived nearby. It would be far enough from her home to count as " being away" from her immediate family. But also close to a supportive network of aunts and cousins. Well, what could possibly go wrong, I hear you cry! My friend explained that her expectations had been too optimistic, too high. She had envisioned meeting like-minded young women. They would discuss books, learn, and form friendships. Then her fragile newly laid egg labelled presumption cracked! Sorry, but you do not belong! Ha...

Alphonse Mucha's Influence: Sarah Bernhardt: Ashbourne: My gift to the town

In the year 1895, the Czechoslovakian artist Alphonse Maria Mucha rose to dizzying heights of stardom. The design for the advertising poster for the Fifth Avenue, Broadway theatre production of Gismonda that opened on December 11th and ran until February 1895 would be the making of him. This prototypical production starred the then young and stunning actress Sarah Bernhardt and Lucien Guitry as Almerio. My first encounter with Mucha’s work was at a very young age. I would spend many hours with my grandmother, chatting and looking at magazines and books. One afternoon we sat in her large sunny bedroom, the light from the wide bay window making the flowers on the Sanderson wallpaper dance and sing. And if my memory serves me well, Granny opened up a magazine that was running a feature on the works of Alphonse Mucha. Those moments come rarely, do they not, when your heart flutters with delight at what you see before you in a picture. I was captured by the patterns, colors, flow...

Toxic Abuse: When The Fog Clears

Tiggy Sonya !: So, why a blog Tiggy? Some of us just have to write. My childhood nieghbour Roald Dahl encouraged my passion, picked me up from the library, read my poetry, and stories, and discussed Dickens with me. Asked me at the age of six if I would understand War and Peace, Tolstoy, and I replied, “I intend to read it until I do”, and I did. Why not write a blog about all sorts of subjects that are connected through communication? I have 3 blogs that you can reach from the front page. https://linktr.ee/SonyaTiggy?utm_source
