From Cyprus to England, the roots of this story are set in the heats of relationships, whatever form that takes. In this book, we journey across lives and times. From a civil war in Cyprus where two star cross lovers hide what is most natural, to the distant shores of England to learn that putting down new roots is sometimes hard, and sometimes easy..
Painting: I painted a fig because the fig is central to the story. One of the main points of view is the fig tree, and figs are one of my favourite fruits, so it was a great chance to marry up these two things

In Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse," Woolf's prose is a symphony of introspective musings, shifting perspectives, and the delicate dance between the seen and the unseen. The lighthouse, a distant beacon, as the characters strive to reach its elusive shores, much like readers reaching for the depths of Woolf's literary brilliance.
Painting: I painted a lighthouse because what else could I paint? The lighthouse, the symbol for pursuit and achievement. This background character that is ever present in the story.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“To the Lighthouse” by Virginia Woolf
“The Island of Missing Trees” Elif Shafak

Three famous historical and literary figures materialise in front of you and tell you that you have been selected by the ‘Supreme One’ as the man to build the first Synagogue on Prince Edward Island. You think you might have gone crazy. This is the opening to Steven Mayoff’s latest novel, ‘The Island According to Samson Grief’, and it is as wild as it promises to be.
Painting: I painted a blue starfish with 6 arms to resemble a Jewish Star of David because politics is a huge aspect of this novel, but the religious driving forces behind it are the foundational ideas that evolve in this story.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Island Gospel According to Samson Grief” by Steven Mayoff
“National Geographic – Secret Societies”

"The Man Who Was Thursday" by G.K. Chesterton is a metaphysical thriller that unfolds in a surreal and anarchic world. The protagonist, Gabriel Syme, infiltrates a secret anarchist council only to discover that the members are not what they seem. Each member is named after a day of the week, and the narrative twists through enigmatic encounters, philosophical discussions, and unexpected revelations. Chesterton's novel explores themes of order, chaos, and the nature of good and evil, leaving readers questioning reality and the complexities of the human psyche.
Painting: I painted a train because one of my favourite lines from the story came about from the philosophical question on whether you catch a train or a train catches you. Naturally, as they think they are running from anarchists, I painted the typical anarchists A on the front to signify what is after the men.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Man who was Thursday” by G. K. Chesterton

A haunting hound is upon the moors. A family curse dances in the fog and sherlock Holmes is strangely absent from his first case back after being killed off. This is a case like no other, upon the uncertain moors in Dartmoor, where rumours swirl in the fog and an ugly truth that lies too close to home, rears its haunting head.
Painting: I visited Dartmoor National Park and explored the landscape close to the prison that has a brief mention in the story. I painted this from a photo I took, but justice is not paid to the eerie wasteland that haunts the moors.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Hound of the Baskervilles” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
“The Three Musketeers” by Alexandre Dumas

A penguin, Ukraine and the Mafia. "Death and the Penguin" is a darkly humorous novel that dances on the edge of absurdity. Set in a post-Soviet Ukraine, it follows the unlikely friendship between Viktor, a struggling writer, and Misha, his pet penguin. As they navigate a world of corruption and crime, their adventures unfold with a blend of wit, satire, and unexpected twists.
Painting: I painted a penguin atop a coffin because for me, they were the two most important aspects of the novel. The absurdity of the penguin along with the absurdity of the death that seemed to hover and accompany this novel.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Death and the Penguin” by Andrey Kurkov
“The Island Gospel according to Samson Grief” by Steven Mayoff
Additional segments throughout the podcast include:

In the lead up to Christmas in a small silent town, Bill Furlong, a local coal merchant visits homes with their deliveries like Santa arriving early with gifts to warm the family. But this small town has a darkness to its silences. The church looms over them in unspoken authority and we learn about how the smallest details can shape lives for better or worse.
Painting: I painted a church because I felt like the church was a central character in the book always looking over the town. It was this presence that drove this town but also held them where they stood.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Small Things Like These” by Claire Keegan
“The Three Musketeers” by Alexandre Dumas
Additional segments throughout the podcast include:
Mantle Piece Moments
