A 'must' read for puzzle lovers

During the Christmas break I enjoyed reading Margaret Drabble's book The Pattern in the Carpet. It seems I’m not the only jigsaw junkie - in her book, Dame Margaret Drabble reveals that when her husband, the biographer Michael Holroyd, was diagnosed with bowel cancer, jigsaws helped save her from sinking into paranoia and depression. Piecing together framed pictures gave her an illusion of control when everything else was uncertain.

A highly recommended read.
