I believe that the key to a happier life is to read more books, eat more scones, and use more Oxford commas.

So thrilled by this ***** Telegraph review of The Traitors Circle, which it says is “magnificent” www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/d609a7e...
The heroes who plotted against Hitler – and the mole who betrayed them
Jonathan Freedland’s account of the fall of the Solf Circle is structured like a thriller and demonstrates his mastery of his material
