The novel is a monster, but it moves like a short story, devoid of the bloat and wordiness that has plagued the beloved author’s latter-period work. “I tried to write a book that would keep the pedal consistently to the metal,” Stephen King writes in an afterword to Under the Dome, his massive new novel - his 48th! - an explanation for why you will carry this heavy, bulky book everywhere, eager to gobble up a few more pages whenever you can. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We follow ten or so years in the life of Fiona Finnegan, starting when she was seventeen in 1888. But this book far surpasses the others mentioned by its sophistication, its glorious period detail, and the extent to which it refuses to relegate salient socioeconomic factors to the background or place their importance secondary to romance. This is an epic tale in the tradition of Thorn Birds or Gone With the Wind – the kind that makes you cry every five chapters or so. The difference is, instead of reading about strong, wonderful girls, you read about strong, wonderful women. Many hours and lots of Kleenexes later, I can tell you that this riveting saga is just as beautifully crafted as her other work. ![]() I got this book because Jennifer Donnelly has written such fantastic books for the young adult market that I was interested to know what her adult books were like.

Maybe that new superhero movie the kids were clamoring to see, though Mel was careful about what they watched. Then a family night, a movie on the couch with the kids. She’d cook his favorite dish for dinner: liver and onions, served with a nice pinot noir she already had out on the counter. Mel really could be the best, most charming man, and she was going to make it up to him she’d already decided that. He’d been so lovely and apologetic about having to disrupt her schedule. It was no bother, really-there was still plenty of time to finish up in the house before starting dinner. She normally would have been home at three in the afternoon, but her husband had called to say he had an emergency at work and she’d have to fetch Brady and Lily from school. ![]() But she’d never asked, she didn’t know, and in the end, that was what destroyed her. That thought would keep her awake every night for years after, pulsing hot against her eyelids. ![]() ![]() ![]() “I was so moved by the museum and the concept of the Foundling Hospital, which was established in the 1730s for babies at risk of abandonment,” she explains. The Foundling Hospital in question is in Bloomsbury, London, and the story idea came to Stacy Halls on a visit there only a week after she finished her first novel, The Familiars. ![]() But six years later when Bess returns, she’s told her daughter has already been claimed. She leaves the infant with a half of a heart made of whalebone as her token and the number 627 to remember and redeem her by. Bess, an 18th-century shrimp hawker, has no choice but to entrust her newborn daughter to London’s Foundling Hospital with a plan to buy her back as soon as she can save enough money to pay for her care. That’s a question faced by Bess Bright, a character in Stacey Halls’ latest novel The Lost Orphan (MIRA Books, April 2020), published as The Foundling in the UK. Child #627: The Lost Orphan by Stacey Hallsįorced to abandon your child into public care with only a token and a number to trace them again by, what token might you choose? ![]() ![]() ![]() Alongside ‘In a Cup of Tea’, a disturbing account which derives from an evil omen, all stories are carried with the ritualistic weight of ancient art forms. ‘Hoichi the Earless’ materialises the spirits of the once illustrious Taira family, massacred in war but returning from the dead to haunt a blind musician. A Yuki-onna, an infamous spirit frightening lost travellers in snowy mountains, is portrayed gloomily in ‘The Woman of the Snow’. In ‘The Black Hair’, the flowing hair of Heian women are revealed as a dark symbol of despair. Unearthing the core of Japanese superstitions, Kwaidan adapts a book by the writer and translator Lafcadio Hearn from 1904, the first to collect scattered stories of folkloric phantoms and introduce its lore to the West. The classic horror from 1964 narrates mythological tales from a feudal past, conjuring some of its best known ghost stories amongst bamboo rooms, rusticated landscapes and surrealist colours. United by the cinematography of Masaki Kobayashi, Kwaidan stages four separate unearthly tales in a spine-chilling ritual. ![]() ![]() ![]() 2023 CWA Dagger Shortlists Revealed - CWA Chair Maxim Jakubowski Talks to Liz Robinson About Them.60 spectacular LGBTQIA+ books to read this Pride Month and every month.May Bookshop Chat - Books With Buzz May 2023. ![]() 2023 British Book Awards Are Celebrated At Star-Studded Ceremony - We Love The #Nibbies.Put your Feet up and Catch up on Our May Summary of Highlights and Reading Recommendations.We mourn the loss of celebrated British author Martin Amis.Industry Insights May 2023: James Kellow, Ultimo Press.Prepare to Celebrate the Nation's Favourite Genre with National Crime Reading Month.Caffè Nero launches a major new set of book awards - The Nero Book Awards.TikTok launching its own book awards to celebrate titles, authors, content and creators of BookTok.International Booker Prize 2023 Won by Georgi Gospodinov and Angela Rodel with Time Shelter.England Rugby World Cup Winner Steve Thompson, Beth Mead and Gary Neville all take home gongs at The 21st Sports Book Awards. ![]() ![]() ![]() The bureaucratic set up in India has always been on the receiving end with critics, thinkers, and other influential faces in and out of the system criticizing it for its vulnerability to corruption, sheer laziness in attending to matters that require urgent attention of the state and center, weak policy implementation and execution, and lack of innovation in problem solving. ![]() ![]() ![]() AI has surpassed humans in speech and object recognition, even outperforming radiologists in diagnosing lung cancer.
