I shall be looking for diamonds in hazelnuts now. Your opening paragraphs really appeal to the senses: the image of a young boy playing beneath a young hazel in the shade of an ancient oak and the scent of the baked goods, which is making me hungry – I haven’t eaten yet this morning because I’m enjoying the Prosery pieces so much. I love the way the lonely boy writes poetry in the companionship of his pretend sister, who comforts him when his father dies, such touching scenes.Kim M.

I also like the comfort aspects of the hazel wood; with it being a friend to help with grief, to diminish the fire that's swimming all throughout (the worst being the mind as we try to cope) that is bittersweet in the way it is told. Such a heartbreaking loss.
