Reviews

‘Yet again Douglas Westcott provides the reader with a masterful insight into the City of Bath.’

Peter Groves

“Just finished reading your second book An Unfolding Soul which I have enjoyed as much as your first. As a Bathonian of 77 years I find it so scary and truthful as we currently experience The Third Destruction of Bath.”
