Ben Macintyre's book The Siege was serialised in The Times (unsurprisingly) recently. Not my usual type of read but it was superb. I witnessed the events live on TV at the time so it had a resonance too.
I didn't know "The Siege" had been serialized, but I can see why the book would work well in that form. Macintyre uses a lot of literary devices that would lend themselves to it, such as cliffhanger endings for chapters, which I'll mention in my review. Thanks!
Here's a link to one of the pieces of The Siege in case you want to link. The Times is behind a paywall but I think you can see a couple of articles free.
Fascinating! Hope the hurricane has spared you.
Thanks, Flora. We have been so lucky this hurricane season!
PS I hope the hurricane dies out very soon.
