This is a heart wrenching roller-coaster of a romance. Tess and Gus are meant to be together, they just keep missing one another. The pair have a fleeting moment in Florence in 1997 when they are both eighteen, Tess is inter-railing across Italy and Gus is on holiday with his parents, before University. Eberlen then takes us through moments in the next sixteen years when both characters face difficulties in their lives, teasing us with near misses and crossed paths for the duration of the book. Anyone who has read David Nicholls’ ‘One Day’ will thoroughly enjoy this little bit of escapism, serendipity and romance.

Being a disney, I had high hopes for this film, I love disney, and was so excited, when I see the trailer, I thought it looked a brilliant film, I was extremely disappointed, worth a watch if you have an hour or 2 to kill, but thats as far as it goes.
About a young family, the parents are scientists, who are studying a theory into other realms and dimensions, suddenly the father goes missing.
Years later, magical beings start to appear to the children, and send them on a big, magical quest to find and save their father.
I found I got lost half way through the film.

Lovely wee story
The novel is told from the perspective of Maude, a lady in her 80's with dementia. The reader experiences the frustration that the protagonist feels because of her poor short term memory, yet there is this brilliant back story. Yes, Elizabeth is missing, but so is Sukie, Maude's big sister who disappeared when they were both young. Switching between the present and the past enhances the story, showing how certain triggers can support long term memory in dementia patients. Lovely wee story. Brilliant gripping beginning, a bit slow in the middle and great ending. Worth a read.

My personal favourite of the Indiana Jones films, due largely to the comic repartee between Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones and Sean Connery as his father, Henry Jones Senior.
This is the one that starts with a flash-back to Indy's early years (with River Phoenix taking on the role of the young Indiana), showing how he got the scar, his fear of snakes and this hat and bullwhip, before moving on to the late 1930s (1938, I think) with Indiana hired to find his dad, who has gone missing on the trail of a holy relic: the cup of Christ, the legendary Holy Grail itself.
