Grasshopper - Barbara Vine Grasshopper - Barbara Vine
Grasshopperis the tale of Clodagh's recovery from the death of her best friend and ... more
liberation from the guilt her parents have imposed
on her for the pylon-climbing that led to it; it
is also the tale of new mistakes, and their
disastrous consequences. In the London of the late
80s, Clodagh finds her own level--and it is way
above the streets, with a roof-jaunting group of
disaffected young people, each with a trauma of
their own. For Swedish Liv, it is the nightmare of
au-pairing; for Silver, it was abduction as a
small boy; for the sinister young thug Jimmy, it
was sexual abuse on a massive scale. When they
graduate from merely clambering around to trying
to do good, and help a couple on the run from the
social services with a foster child, that is when
the trouble starts... The audiobook adaptation is
taut and passionate; Frances Barber's range of
voices and characterisations adds immediacy to the
strong characterisation and never becomes a mere
series of comic impersonations, she retains a
sense of this story's urgency even in the chunks
of back-story that punctuate the main
action.Duration: 5 hours--Roz Kaveney

The Blood Doctor - Barbara Vine The Blood Doctor - Barbara Vine
InThe Blood Doctor, as in others of the books she has written as Barbara Vine, Ruth ... more
Rendell stretches the boundaries of what we mean
when we describe a book as a psychological
thriller. Nanther is a biographer who is in crisis
in most areas of his life--he has run out of
inspiration, his other "job" as a hereditary peer
is in the course of being voted out of existence
and his relationship with his second wife is
threatened by the difficulties she is experiencing
in bringing a child to term. He throws himself
into a study of his great-grandfather Henry--a
doctor ennobled by Queen Victoria for his work on
the haemophilia which dogged her descendants--and
finds something not quite right. Henry was not
just a repressed Victorian--there was something
about his ruthless jilting of mistresses and
fiancées which implies something a lot more
peculiar and Nanther sets out to work out what it
was. This novel is acute on the intellectual
pleasures of historical research including the
guilty prurience of working out dead people's
secrets; it is also genuinely insightful in its
portrait of Nanther, a man who thinks he is a
worse and more useless man than he is, and finds
out from Henry what real human evil might be.

The laughter continues ..............
Review of The Good Life Series 2 by  SusanLesley

Advantages: Great laughs, series hasn't lost anything with age
Disadvantages: None

...I have recently written a review about the complete boxed set of every episode of the seventies comedy The Good Life in which I promised to do reviews on each of the individual DVD's in the set. I have already done the review on series one and now here is series two ……. I won't repeat the set up here as I would be repeating what I said in the previous reviews and that wouldn't be fair on you as the reader or on Ciao who would be paying me twice for the same information, so I will just give a very brief synopsis. Basically Tom and Barbara Good live in a posh part of Surbiton and have decided to become self sufficient. This entails planting both their front and back gardens with vegetables and keeping pigs, chickens and a goat! The next door neighbours are Margot and Jerry Leadbetter who are good friends with Tom and Barbara. However... Read review
