Tbh, what can you expect from “people of the book” where early on in the book the big man of the family gets a vengeful, angry, violent and jealous voice in his head that demands that he kill his son, and then […]

What was it being sold as/for in the chemist in those days?

There`s a great satisfaction in bland truisms and the blatantly obvious though, isn`t there?

I don`t know about people becoming “spiritual” “transforming” the world. What does that even mean?
