But it’s not all acorn soufflé and soft, moss-lined beds. As it turns out, Mona is precisely the maid they need at the grandest hotel in Fernwood Forest, where animals come from far and wide for safety, luxury and comfort. When Mona the mouse stumbles across the wondrous world of the Heartwood Hotel in the middle of a storm, she desperately hopes the staff will let her stay. “If there’s one thing Vancouver author Kallie George knows, it’s how to create a tale full of whimsy.” - Quill & Quireĭownton Abbey meets The Tale of Peter Rabbit in this heartwarming chapter book about a mouse discovering where she belongs.

He hasn’t let the remarkable success that has come his way over the past five years go to his head – or indeed his toes. He must be seriously wealthy and could be wearing silk socks, but he isn’t. I like the worn-out sock, because his books now attract six-figure advances he received £600,000 for his 2020 novel The Midnight Library, which recently clocked up its millionth sale. He is padding around in his socks, through one of which his big toe is peeping. The music-loving, eco-evangelising Haig is wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with the words “No music on a dead planet”. Today is a good day, despite my lunchtime appearance to discuss his new book, prosaically titled The Comfort Book. Haig – novelist, self-help guru, periodic endurer of depression and anxiety – needs these colours, that view, this sun, even the statement-making front door. “We bought the house for that view,” he says as he answers the door, which is painted turquoise.

On a boat tour, one of the fellow passengers, who turned out to be a naturalist, pulled a 15-foot anaconda into their skiff. Patchett also experienced some of the Amazon’s wildlife more closely than she would have preferred. But by the seventh or eighth day, she says, she would have sold her soul to get out because the leaves and jungle cover were making her claustrophobic. She did visit the Amazon, though, and said she thought it was the most beautiful and exciting place she had ever been for about three days. Patchett says that she’s perfectly happy imagining places that she may not necessarily have visited in person as settings for her novels. It’s a tragic comic adventure tale, replete with poison arrows, deadly snakes and rumors of cannibals. Ann Patchett’s latest novel takes readers deep into the heart of the Amazon. He is very religious and feels that he is betraying God by lying and letting murderers go so he holds his rosary beads and the movie ends as a tear falls down his face. Poirot watches the scenes unfold in silence and the next day, when the police arrive, Poirot tells them the assassin story and walks away into the snow. There is about 10 mins of the movie spent with Poirot shouting and crying and then Colonel Arbuthnot picks up a gun and says that if he’s done one murder he can do another and is about to shoot Poirot before his Ms Hubbard jumps on him and tells him that he cannot do what is not right. He shouts at the people telling them that they can’t take the law into their own hands and says that justice will be served no matter who the victim was. In the Suchet adaptation, Poirot gets very emotional. Sure! >! In the book, the people are all guilty and Poirot thinks that they are justified and let’s them off without a second thought.

I have to say I felt more of a connection to Tim than anyone else. We also get a secondary romance of Duncan and Daisy. The story slowly unfolds as flashbacks through Tim and Duncan’s recall, and through that, we get the bittersweet tale of how Tim and Vanessa formed an unlikely bond. Then we have the story of Tim and Vanessa recounted by Tim through his CD’s. First we have Duncan the senior who feels guilty about what happened to Tim and Vanessa, although, we have no idea why. This was an unusual tale, really two stories wrapped up in one. But soon the lure of finding out exactly what happened proves too hard to resist and he’s listening, riveted by the story. At first Duncan doesn’t want to listen, he just wants to get back to normal school life, and the pursuit of a girl he hopes didn’t get away. But he’s put smack into the middle of it when he discovers his “treasure” left in his dorm room are audio CD’s made by Tim, recounting the tragedy and the months leading up to it.
