![]() ![]() ![]() 'The experience was odd and addictive,' Gawande admits, 'mixing exhilaration from the calculated violence of the act, anxiety about getting it right, and a righteous faith that it was somehow good for the person.' ![]() Human skin, he discovers, is thick and springy and he has to make two attempts to get through. The first time Gawande is called on to make an incision, the senior surgeon draws a six-inch line on a sleeping patient's abdomen and hands him a knife. Mistakes are sometimes solved by surprisingly low-tech solutions, such as marking the patient's leg with felt-tip to ensure that the correct limb is operated on. There is the doctor who biopsied the wrong section of a woman's breast, delaying a diagnosis of cancer for months. There is the surgeon who left a large metal instrument in a patient's abdomen, where it tore through the bowel and the bladder wall. The book is also about split second decisions that could mean life or death and the limits - often unsuspected by the patient - of both doctors and medical science. One of the most striking features of Complications is the unsparing detail about what happens in the operating theatre. ![]() ![]() ![]() 'I loved the way the messages were delivered and the mystery of them.

'Palpable, infectious excitement as the family from 'Childish Spirits' moves back to London. What new adventures will Ellie face next? I can only imagine.' Just as in the first novel, the characters are strong, the mystery intriguing, and the stakes high.Īs for the future, it's anybody's guess, but that ending is one heck of a good way to make me want read the next book. I actually read this novel in one sitting because I was so engrossed. And Ellie is on the case.even if she'd rather not be. ![]() There's a new house, new ghosts, a new mystery to solve. 'Much like the first novel in the Spirits series, the sequel is mysterious, engaging, slightly creepy, and all-around adorable. "I'm already looking forward to book two!" Jill Murphy, The Bookbag ![]() With her parents about to divorce, and her Mum acting very strangely, Ellie quickly discovers that a sinister force lies between her and the truth. Who is the sender of ghostly messages asking her for help? What is the secret of the Meadowes family? And what does Edward know about all this? On returning to London, Ellie investigates the mystery surrounding 47 Foster Square. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then in a bookstore one day, I saw a display of non-fiction books about angels. So, the story stayed in the wardrobe of my mind for a long time – taken out occasionally to think about, but nothing more. I wanted this to be an action-packed, epic story, but also essentially a romance. If Alex was a real-life hit man, then a happy ending wouldn’t be very likely! And I like happy endings. Though I kept writing snippets of the story (it nagged and nagged at me, really wanting to be told!), I knew that the premise as it stood wouldn’t work. I loved the feel of this, but that was as far as I got for several years. The two of them join forces instead, and fall in love. Once I had that, I had the rough premise of the story: suddenly I knew that Willow had psychically seen something that she shouldn’t have, and Alex was the teenaged hit man hired to kill her. Then her name changed to Willow, and I realised that not only was she psychic, but that she loved tinkering around with cars. Willow came to me at the same time that Alex first did – her name was Jhia at that point – but she didn’t feel fully formed until I started thinking about a contemporary storyline. He refused to go away, in fact! And over the years, I began to wonder about redoing his story completely, and placing him in a contemporary setting. Nothing came of that particular novel, but Alex always stayed with me. He first came to me as a character almost twenty years ago, when he was a thief in a fantasy setting – an expert with knives rather than guns. ![]() ![]() ![]() He also attempts to get rid of Tootsie and is famous for his constant desire to involve himself in Peter's activities, specially with Peter's new friend, Alex Santo. When she refuses to do so, he kicks her in the shin. Peter deals with the fallout from Fudge's various problems, which include a spat with his teacher who refuses to use the name "Fudge". ![]() Peter's 4-year-old brother, Fudge, is extremely jealous of her, who earns the nickname "Tootsie" from their mother Ann's cute speak and their grandmother Muriel's favorite old song. Several months before they temporarily move from New York City to Princeton, New Jersey, she is born, named Tamara Roxanne, and called "The Baby" for weeks. The Hatcher family has a new baby daughter in the beginning. It is the sequel to Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great and is the third in the Fudge series. Superfudge is a children's novel by Judy Blume, published in 1980. ![]() ![]() ![]() I assume he’d hug each volume and rock himself to sleep every night? Judith, understandably, ignores his request until she needs a favor from him. Since Christian seems like a bloke with what seems like Asperger syndrome, he can’t rest until he gets hold of Anthony’s diaries. As if any sequel-worthy dude ever stays dead in romance novels, really.Ĭhristian spends the following years dreaming of Anthony – no, not in that way it’s in a sad and guilty way. Oops, I took a peek at the author’s website and I am now spoiled: Anthony is not dead, he’s getting his own book probably in 2025. ![]() Christian Trent, the Marquess of Ashford, once had a thing with Judith Worth, but it can be hard to have a happy relationship when his uncovering of evidence is instrumental in sending Judith’s father to the gallows and her brother to a stint in Australia… although Anthony is probably dead since his ship sank at sea. ![]() ![]() ![]() When the real thing fell into my hands, I remember feeling shock: Though clearly a children’s book, this was not childish at all-more real than a fable, yet also (and this was puzzling) more real than if it had been written realistically. I already knew the story, or so I imagined I’d been offhandedly and somewhat abashedly entertained whenever the animated Disney film appeared on TV. I think I was twelve or thirteen years old. Instead, The Jungle Book introduced me to the slow-burn style of readerly devotion. The funny thing about The Jungle Book was that I didn’t go head-over-heels crazy for it, never experienced the obsessive infatuation that flared and sputtered over so many other books during my apprenticeship as a reader. ![]() It helps to imagine your reading life as a staircase rather than a doorway-a winding staircase, with each tread a book, and each riser your incautious love for that book’s characters, or plot, which kept you writhing, or the writer’s way with language, which felt so especially right. ![]() ![]() ![]() Letitia’s sister, Ruby, has been leading a double life as her white alter ego, Hillary Hyde. ![]() Hippolyta isn’t the only one keeping secrets.
