The story starts with a body on the beach found buried up to his neck in sand. Leo James was a loner, a hermit, and doesn’t seem to have had a past. Meanwhile Calvin, with the help of wife Vicky’s savings, opens up a new café in Elderbridge, a villag ...more |

I'm not sure if any of this excellent book I read at my caravan during my Easter break is autobiographical (perhaps Ms Barrow can enlighten us?)? My mother-in-law's fifth child was born in 1960 with Down' s Syndrome, just as Irene's sister Rose was i ...more | |

All I can say is that I'm glad my parents couldn't afford to send me to any private boarding school. Children sent away from home to these places are vulnerable, trusting, and at the mercy of the adults in charge of them. Earl Spencer and his parents ...more | |

A collection of short stories written with great insight about the vagaries of human thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The stories encompass (amongst others) grief, guilt, resentment, acceptance, love, fear, and a nostalgic longing for the past. Some ...more | |
"When members of a retired band are contractually compelled to go on one more tour, the aged musicians gather to practice at one of the member’s homes. The band is still popular and the guys get along relatively well. That’s not the problem. The chall"

Methinks Anne Bronte's dissolute brother Branwell gave her much food for thought when thinking up the plot for this rather wordy and worldly (for its time) book. Basically, Helen married Arthur Huntingdon in haste and repented at leisure. Cue Gilbert ...more | |

"This is a short read but such an entertaining behind the scenes romp of an aging pop band and their long suffering wives and girlfriends.
There is no doubt that getting older comes with its wear and tear, but having toured and partied around the world" Read more of this review » |

“If my twelve-year-old self, of whom I had grown rather fond, thinking about him, were to reproach me: 'Why have you grown up such a dull dog, when I gave you such a good start? Why have you spent your time in dusty libraries, catologuing other people's books instead of writing your own? What had become of the Ram, the Bull and the Lion, the example I gave you to emulate? Where above all is the Virgin, with her shining face and curling tresses, whom I entrusted to you'- what should I say?
I should have an answer ready. 'Well, it was you who let me down, and I will tell you how. You flew too near to the sun, and you were scorched. This cindery creature is what you made me.'
To which he might reply: 'But you have had half a century to get over it! Half a century, half the twentieth century, that glorious epoch, that golden age that I bequeathed to you!'
'Has the twentieth century,' I should ask, 'done so much better than I have? When you leave this room, which I admit is dull and cheerless, and take the last bus to your home in the past, if you haven't missed it - ask yourself whether you found everything so radiant as you imagined it. Ask yourself whether it has fulfilled your hopes. You were vanquished, Colston, you were vanquished, and so was your century, your precious century that you hoped so much of.”
