Steiner lived in London with her husband and two young sons. “It has been easier, weirdly, to cope with my illness during lockdown, because I’m not the only one whose life is on hold, not the only one terrified of dying,” she wrote. ![]() ![]() In May 2019 she was diagnosed with a brain tumour – grade 4 glioblastoma – and in June 2020 she wrote in the Guardian of her experience of being treated for the disease during lockdown, detailing how books had been her “lifeline”. Steiner wrote extensively about losing her eyesight to retinitis pigmentosa, or RP – a hereditary disease – and was registered as fully blind six months after her “lifelong dream came true” when her first novel sold in a publishing auction. Philip Pullman described the Manon Bradshaw novels as “police procedural with real imagination and heart and a marvellous lightness of style and wit”.

It's not an action-based plot, you know? And, no, it's not the most unique plot in the world. Amy's fresh out of rehab and starts writing letters to her dead best friend. Plot Talk: The summary is pretty good at describing it, really. I have so much trouble writing about these kinds of books because it's so hard to describe the whole emotional devastation thing. It's painful and emotional and really freaking good. It is a very good book, but it's not an easy book.

Got via: I bought it off Amazon for like 4 dollars - great deal Love You Hate You Miss You by Elizabeth Scott ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a behavioral analysis of the dynamics at play in the group of survivors, and the part played by their religion.

The wreckage of the cabin containing the dead, wounded and survivors came to rest at an altitude of 3450 meters. The plane flew into the side of a mountain. But the pilot made an error in calculating his position and started his descent too soon. The plane was carrying the members of a Uruguayan amateur rugby team along with some of their family members and friends, and it was bound for Santiago in Chili where the players were due to play in a series of matches. Many people might still recall the events of 13 October 1972, when a Fairchild F-227 of the Uruguayan air force crashed in the Andes with 45 people on board. ![]() ![]() But because of this my reaction to their story is impartial and doesn't come with any previous emotional attachments. I have only read the first book in the Sweet Home series, and perhaps having read them would influence my rating and reading experience more. Their characters were likeable and Tillie's writing made it easy to become attached to them in such a brief amount of time. Elsie too is overwrought by her past but is hopeful and encouraged by her advantageous future. He has such a tender and fragile heart but his intelligence and shared family bonds keep him strong and resilient. Curiously though, his character was open, thoughtful and engaging. ![]() ![]() He is so shy and afflicted by his past that he is nearly invincible. ![]() Levi and Elsie's story is heartfelt and emotional yet uplifting and encouraging.
