Sorrow Spring is a slow to start gothic thriller - but it’s worth persevering with!

There’s a lot of scene setting: it’s 1978, and Rina has been unceremoniously left at her Aunt Agatha’s house by her mother. She has no more contact with her mother after this.
2019, and Rina’s niece, Cate, is searching for her aunt as her father is seriously ill and wants to see his sister for the last time.
But as Cate finds out more about her aunt, the more sinister are her findings and the more unfriendly the people she encounters.
There’s some ancient folklore, sketchy traditions and a rather interesting ending.
I listened to this on audiobook (Xigxag), which probably helped along the bits that tended to drag (1978 was a very talkative time), but all in all, this was a good read/ listen!

My favourite book this year!!
Another book that deserves more than 5 stars. I loved this - a book that I thought about constantly, even when I wasn't reading it. The story of Cyril Avery's life, from the moment his mother is ejected from the village church and the village itself, up until near his death. An absolutely wonderful story. I laughed (a lot), I cried.
Highly recommended!!!

My fascination with this book began with a required reading assignment. Since then, I have read this book over at least 5 different times. The story is rich and realistic, so easy to get lost in. There's a certain comfort in the sadness of the main character and in all that he does. Everyone and their mother should read this book at least once in their lifetime.

While attending a showing for a sculptor, Annie Kincaid discovers a body swinging from a tree. To make things more puzzling, her own mother seems to have a connection to the dead person. This is a wild cozy caper with plenty of twists and great characters.

I really enjoyed this second book in the Crazy Rich Asians series. Rachel and Nick are about to get married when she gets crazy news from her now-approving future mother-in-law: her father is not only alive but is waiting to meet her. There are many ups and downs, new characters’ stories, and lots of glimpses into the life of these crazy rich people!

Unusual horror film that will have the hair on your neck stand up.
It deals with loss and loneliness and fear of the unknown as a single mother struggles to raise her disturbed child whilst dealing with grief at the loss of her husband and the deep emotions involved.
Very effective and fresh approach that expertly builds tension and the Babadook itself will freak you out!
