Abigél by Magda Szabó5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() He refuses to explain why, only using the departure of the governess as a reason and the fact that her aunt, his sister, is unsuitable for looking after her. She is even more devastated when her father tells her that she is to be sent to a boarding school in a provincial Hungarian town. ![]() However, as Hungary and France are now at war, the General sends her back to France. Her mother died when she was two and Gina has had a French governess. At the start of the novel, she is living with her father, General Vitay, in Budapest, in 1943. Our heroine is Georgina Vitay, known as Gina. This novel was the most successful of Magda Szabó’s novels published in Hungary, so it is nice to see it finally appearing in English after fifty years.

The hitherto withheld photographs, both ordinary and a‘rial, will count in my favour for they are damnably vivid and graphic.

I am forced into speech because men of science have refused to follow my advice without knowing why. ![]() Suspicion by Alexandra Monir5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() The Dead and Buried by Kim Harrington (Scholastic Point 2013) New Girl by Paige Harbison (Harlequin Teen 2012) I'm a lifelong fan of Rebecca and I try to read all the YA retellings: ![]() While I thought some of the retelling choices were really great, the fact that the book sticks to a major plot point without set-up may baffle and annoy some readers. I think this book struggled to be a romantic suspense, a Cinderella story, and a paranormal romance all at once. While that sounds awesome, this is also a retelling of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. My take: Some of the marketing for this book calls it Princess Diaries meets Alfred Hitchcock. And at the center of the mystery is Imogen herself-and Sebastian, the childhood friend she has secretly loved for years. ![]() All is not as it seems at Rockford, and Imogen quickly learns that dark secrets lurk behind the mansion's aristocratic exterior, hinting that the spate of deaths in her family were no accident. But when a letter arrives with the news of her cousin's untimely death, revealing that Imogen is now the only heir left to run the estate, she returns to England and warily accepts her role as duchess. Haunted by her parents' deaths, Imogen moves to New York City with her new guardians. Synopsis from Goodreads: "There's something hidden in the Maze." Seventeen-year-old Imogen has never forgotten the last words her father said to her seven years ago, before the blazing fire that consumed him, her mother, and the gardens of her family's English country manor. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2001 he was appointed Messenger of Peace by Mr. In 1997 Marsalis became the first jazz artist to be awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in music for his oratorio Blood on the Fields , which was commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Once in France, April quickly learns the apartment is not merely some rich hoarder’s repository.
