In a time of loneliness and isolation, social rupture and alienation, what will it take to mend our broken hearts and rebuild our society? Sharon Brous—a leading American rabbi—makes the case that the spiritual work of our time, as instinctual as it is counter-cultural, is to find our way to one other in celebration, in sorrow, and in solidarity. To show up for each other in moments of joy and pain, vulnerability and possibility, to invest in relationships of shared purpose and build communities of care.

A powerful testimony of a virtue that is disappearing in this virtual world, that of “showing up. “ taking the time and trouble to attend an event, pay a call, and support others in tough times.

Miranda’s parents live in a dilapidated house in rural France that they share with two llamas, eight ducks, five chickens, two cats, and a freezer full of food dating back to 1983. This wry, propulsive story about a singularly eccentric family and the sibling rivalry, generational divides, and long-buried secrets that shape them, is a glorious debut novel from a seasoned playwright with immense empathy and a flair for dialogue.

Riverside Close is a picture-perfect community. The six exclusive and attractive houses are tucked far away from the noise and grime of city life, allowing the residents to enjoy beautiful gardens, pleasant birdsong, and tranquility from behind the security of a locked gate. It is the perfect idyll, until the Kentworthy family arrives, with their four giant, gas-guzzling cars, gaggle of shrieking children, and plans for a garish swimming pool in the backyard. Obvious outsiders, the Kentworthys do not belong in Riverside Close, and quickly offend every last one of the neighbors.

The writing is just too simple and predictable. The narrator is weak, not even an accent for the Hispanic boyfriend. Just average though well meaning.

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

He’s a spoiled royal but he gets that and somehow finds a way to our hearts and respect - a tragic tale in a way but also a tale of redemption. Well read and moving .

There is nobody like him; grinding out thousands of words and in total over two thousand characters in his books, and changing our inner landscapes as he goes. Simon Vance and Dickens are a match made in heaven: enjoy words, words and more words.

Retired publisher Susan Ryeland is living the good life. She is running a small hotel on a Greek island with her long-term boyfriend Andreas. It should be everything she's always wanted. But is it? She's exhausted with the responsibilities of making everything work on an island where nothing ever does, and truth be told, she's beginning to miss London. And then the Trehearnes come to stay. The strange story they tell about an unfortunate murder that took place on the same day and in the same hotel in which their daughter was married fascinates Susan and piques her editor's instincts.

Horowitz at his best
Revisado: 11-28-22
I’ve listened to all of Horowitz’s novels, as I’ve always enjoyed his writing for television. I love this character, Susan Ryeland, and the two novels with her as protagonist have been my favorites. The writing is sharp, the mysteries are engaging and the narration is perfect. I prefer these to the novels where Horowitz puts himself in the novel as a character; those are just a bit like watching reality television - neither real nor fiction - and neither Horowitz nor his police detective are as endearing as Susan and Andreas. Enjoy these two and definitely watch the adaptation of Magpie Murders - it’s outstanding!

Enjoy the further adventures of the delightful Samuel Pickwick, bon vivant and chairman of the Pickwick Club, as he faces confinement in Fleet prison. Finally, learn how the Pickwick Club is disbanded and everything is settled, amazingly, to the satisfaction of everyone involved. Charles Dickens considered this classic novel to be his greatest work.

Brilliant writing brilliantly performed; a treasure.
Revisado: 04-02-22
The first novel of the greatest novelist in English is a treasure for those of us who love his work. As Chesterton said, “Dickens had the art of enjoying everything,” and he shares that joy with us in full. One can see the embryos of all the future novels n his unique characters, hilarious descriptions and ingenious plots. Pickwick is a joy to know, as is Sam and all the gang. And Patrick Tull was born to read Dickens. It just doesn’t get any better this combination of author and auditor. When I wasn’t laughing or shedding a tear I couldn’t stop smiling!
