It was November last year – Bear’s 12th birthday, and his first proper walk after weeks of taking it easy while he recovered from serious surgery. The South Downs stretched before us. The sun had set and the temperature was dropping. Bear is a retired police dog – a huge, 48kg German shepherd.
Madame Matisse a book by Sophie Haydock.

1 month ago | uk.bookshop.org | Promoting Books |Sophie Haydock

This is the story of three women - one an orphan and refugee who finds a place in the studio of a famous French artist, the other a wife and mother who has stood by her husband for nearly forty years. The third is his daughter, caught in the crossfire between her mother and a father she adores. Amelie is first drawn to Henri Matisse as a way of escaping the conventional life expected of her.

Welcome to The Hyphen! I send out a 'Sunday Scroll’ email like this every other weekend. It’s a round-up of full of things I’m reading, loving, inspired by.

I knew it wasn’t a normal phone call. A man was asking if I could sing at a wedding he was organising. It was in 2000.
