Van Stockum’s novel contrasts with the contemporary trend in children’s literature that dwells on the sorrows and disappointments of life.

The characters retain their humanity and humor throughout the war, continuing to love one another even in the face of hunger and fear. They witness the immense suffering inflicted on the Dutch people after they take in a Jewish child whose family has been deported, risk their lives to rescue a downed aviator and even come near to starvation themselves.ĭespite these miseries the book does not descend into despair.

Piranesi, by award winning author Susanna Clarke, is a novel which left me awed by its charm and beauty.

Full cast audio means each character gets their own actor performing the lines. Red Planet just came out on unabridged audio from Full Cast Audio, a company that publishes audio books for young people. In the last decade I’ve been listening to audio book editions of his books. I still love rereading Heinlein, and usually reread a few of his novels every year. After The Moon is a Harsh Mistress Heinlein (1966), Heinlein never wrote another book I liked. Somehow my literary hero wrote a clinker, at least in my eyes. From 1964 through 1966 I read Heinlein’s backlog of books, some several times, so after a four year dry spell of no new books I was mentally demolished when in 1970 I read I Will Fear No Evil and hated it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Heinlein novel I discovered back in 1964, and with the first reading of that book I turned into a life-long fan of Heinlein’s work. ![]() ![]() ![]() She was blind, yes, but that didn't make her any less attractive.

Wow what an amazing way to start a book!!! This is unlike any summary I have ever read. The truth about Neverland is far more dangerous than a fairy tale. Grounded in London and hunted by his own Lost Boys, Peter searches for the last hope of restoring his crumbling island: a lass with magic in her veins.Īs the daughter of missionaries, Kara Swanson spent her childhood running barefoot through the lush jungles of Papua New Guinea.

Its sixth chapter breaks the fourth wall, introducing the novelist himself researching his project, and in its obsessions with reclaiming a counter-cultural past and a kind of deranged reportage, it feels like an Irish take on Iain Sinclair’s psychogeography. ![]() The quick-fire and oblique dialogue, with its air of menace, recalls early plays of Harold Pinter, like The Birthday Party and The Caretaker. Since it’s a portrait of the artist as a middle-aged man, and given Barry’s own prose style, replete with “sea-bite’s hint-of-vulva”, “deathhauntedness” and “a silvering of the blood”, the spectre of James Joyce is never too distant. It’s a descent into madness like Malcolm Lowry’s Under The Volcano. As I read Kevin Barry’s scintillating new novel, the ghosts of other books kept on rising up. ![]() |
