Tan Twan Eng's debut novel casts a powerful spell and has garnered comparisons to celebrated wartime storytellers Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene. Set during the tumult of World War II, on the lush Malayan island of Penang, The Gift of Rain tells a riveting and poignant tale about a young man caught in the tangle of wartime loyalties and deceits. In 1939, 16-year-old Philip Hutton - the half-Chinese, half-English youngest child of the head of one of Penang's great trading families - feels alienated from both the Chinese and British communities.

Has introduced me to another way of being. Wonderful historical fiction. Deep exploration of human needs even in a time of war. Beautifully written.

Tough story to endure
Revisado: 02-12-24
This unrelenting story of a woman’s attempts to save herself and her family from slow destruction caused by the apparent innate human need to destroy itself is in a category reserved for 1984, LORD OF THE FLIES, and BLINDNESS by Jose Saramargo. Very thought-provoking but also horrific.

Shocking news reaches them—an old friend has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing. The gang's search leads them into the antiques business, where the tricks of the trade are as old as the objects themselves. As they encounter drug dealers, art forgers, and online fraudsters—as well as heartache close to home—Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim have no idea whom to trust.

Profound murder mysteries for the aging.

Intriguing mystery stories told over a cup of tea by @ 8 retirees living in a retirement community. At once hilarious and profoundly thoughtful.

It all started with a simple, yet sneakily difficult challenge from global best-selling author Harlan Coben: Pick a bird of prey, then use it as the inspiration for a brand-new story. The response from some of the best writers on the planet: Game on! The result: Eleven stories that are twisty, scary, surprising and bursting with imagination. An egg worth more than its weight in gold. A mysterious operative known only as Owl. An eagle-watcher who sees more than she should. Even a story that somehow places the Maltese Falcon in a nursing home.

This is a delightful story narrated by Kate Winslet, an Oscar winning actress.

The script is like a fairytale that adults and children will love. There simply is nothing to dislike. I hope there will be a sequel that will resolve the children’s problem of being turned over to their parents, because they want to stay with their nanny.

Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son, Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches.

Too much editorializing on part of author.
Revisado: 07-27-22
I am not interested in the author’s assessment of events, characters, and moralities. I am interested in the way the protagonists and societies judged their circumstances.
