"Just keep swimming … just keep swimming …"

Set after Finding Nemo, this see's Ellen DeGeneres Blue Tang - the undisputed start (for me, at least, of that earlier movie) in her own headline movie, when - due to events - she suddenly remembers her family and sets off on a quest to reunite with the same.

As always with Pixar, impeccably animated with a strong message about the importance of family (even 'found' family), this - perhaps - suffers somewhat in comparison with Finding Nemo in that we've been there, done that.

That, and the fact that the Human world (seemingly, or at least, that's it how it felt to me!) plays a larger role than in the previous.

Gotta love Dory's friend Sigourney Weaver, though!

It was really easy to get into. Didn't want to put it down (0 more)
So true
Sequel to why mummy swears. It's like the author has been into my house and wrote the book on my family. Not that I swear that much. I found it really easy to get into and it was hard to put down, I just kept thinking 1 more chapter.

This was a quick, fun read. Deacon Whitney, heir to what remains of the Whitney fortune, assembles a group of people to help him revamp his family's ancestral home, located on its own island off the New England coast. His family has been plagued by bad luck and financial misfortune through the years, but Deacon is a successful software engineer and has the funds available to redo the old family home. Joined by a cousin who wants to find out who really killed their great-great grandmother years ago and hopes to break the family curse, an old friend, a landscaper, and an organizational expert, Deacon and his new found friends encounter ghostly presences and jealous ex-business partners. There are some spooky moments, some humor, and plenty of romance along the way.

BEYOND THE DARK OCEANS is a standalone family saga that follows the life of Georgy Huntingford and his family, from his childhood through to adulthood.

He was born in England and spent part of his childhood there before, for various reasons, his family moved to Canada. Life was still hard, but the family drew together, as they always had. You really get a feeling of what it was like, the hardships faced and endured. You also get a front row seat into the dynamics of the Huntingford family, with the relationships between siblings, as well as with their parents. You also get a wider dynamic with other family members, too.

I found this to be an interesting read that kept my attention from beginning to end. I would have loved to have known for sure what happened to William, but art imitated life in this regard, and I'm left not knowing, as were so many other families.

A thoroughly enjoyable, well-researched historical story that I definitely recommend.
