We must be brave frances liardet7/4/2023 Thank you to NetGalley for providing an advanced copy of We Must Be Brave in exchange for an honest review.Įven though the war feels as if it’s at a distance from Upton, a small English village, the villagers are not immune to its impact in this War II story. I thought it was a nice way to conclude this story that spanned several years. I also felt the book could have cut 100 pages without detracting from the story. I admired her care and compassion for people yet still had a hard time connecting with her, other characters, and the overall story. I found the flashbacks to be more dull than the current timeline and they didn’t really keep my interest.Įllen was a kind and caring main character, always willing to do what needed to be done to help others. The story follows Ellen later in life (post-Pamela’s departure) and also includes flashbacks to her own childhood and earlier adult years. Pamela leaves Ellen’s home later in the story, which is tough on both her and Ellen. Ellen does not have children of her own but takes Pamela in and becomes close with her. Ellen finds a little girl, Pamela, alone on a bus. There are many positive reviews for We Must Be Brave so maybe it just wasn’t for me. It was difficult for me to get into the story, stay invested, and enjoy it. I generally enjoy historical fiction but this book moved at an incredibly slow pace.

There is no shortage of suspects, not only family members but the handsome Raymond Starr, another of the hotel's dance professionals, and George Bartlett, the last person to see Ruby before her disappearance. Miss Marple is convinced that the solution to Ruby's murder may be found at the hotel and she and Dolly book into a suite to investigate.

Christmas letters tolkien7/3/2023 The book was revised in 1999 and was retitled Letters from Father Christmas. The Houghton Mifflin edition was released later that year on 19 October. The first edition was published by Allen and Unwin in 2 September 1976, three years after Tolkien's death. These included works from The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and The Father Christmas Letters. Prior to publication, an exhibition of Tolkien's drawings was held at the Ashmolean Museum. Each letter was delivered in an envelope, including North Pole stamps and postage marks as designed by Tolkien. Starting in 1920 when Tolkien's oldest son was aged three, each Christmas Tolkien would write a letter from Father Christmas about his travels and adventures. The letters themselves were written over a period of over 20 years to entertain Tolkien's children each Christmas. The stories include descriptions of the massive fireworks that create the northern lights and how Polar Bear manages to get into trouble on more than one occasion. They document the adventures and misadventures of Father Christmas and his helpers, including the North Polar Bear and his two sidekick cubs, Paksu and Valkotukka. The stories are told in the format of a series of letters, told either from the point of view of Father Christmas or his elvish secretary.

More than a century and a half later, his message is more timely than ever. Henry David Thoreau reflects on life, politics, and society in these two inspiring masterworks: Walden and Civil Disobedience. These simple but profound musings-as well as "Civil Disobedience," his protest against the government's interference with civil liberty-have inspired many to embrace his philosophy of individualism and love of nature. Thoreau holds fast to the notion that you have not truly existed until you adopt such a lifestyle-and only then can you reenter society, as an enlightened being. Walden and Civil Disobedience (9780140390445) by Henry David Thoreau. In Walden, he explains how separating oneself from the world of men can truly awaken the sleeping self. for social activists around the world, from Gandhi to Martin Luther King, Jr. Shedding the trivial ties that he felt bound much of humanity, Thoreau reaped from the land both physically and mentally, and pursued truth in the quiet of nature. In 1845, Thoreau moved to a cabin that he built with his own hands along the shores of Walden Pond in Massachusetts.
