The English Book Club: The Comfort Book

The Comfort Book by Matt Haig is a collection of notes, lists, quotes and stories that draw heavily on his experiences, but also on a range of other sources. They are all intended, as the title suggests, to ease dark times of adversity and give us courage, determination and strength to persevere, reminding us that every cloud has a silver lining and that our wellbeing depends first and foremost on ourselves. An ideal book for the festive December, also as a gift.
