I loved A Quiet Life, but boy did it break my heart. I think I was dehydrated for almost ALL of the 10 days that I read this on The Pigeonhole.

Grief and loss are central themes. The three main characters are navigating their way through different kinds of loss: Chuck is grieving after the loss of his wife of many years from cancer; Kirsten is coming to terms with violent death of her father; Elle is living in a nightmare where her daughter has been abducted by her father.

The writing is utterly beautiful, and I found myself completely caught up in the lives of these people. Even though two of the characters are dealing with grief, it’s such a life affirming novel.

Highly recommended - just have the tissues close at hand!

Before the review recently I've been rating alot films on Disney plus that wouldn't normally be seen on disney but because they have an adult section called star there's alot of adult movies and TV shows on there case in point once upon a time in America.
The film I've never seen the film till this weekend one thing I can say its long movie with brilliant performances from both woods and de Nero very violent in places which is what u expect from a gangster movie then there's the score by ennio morricone one of the best I've heard there's nothing at all wrong with the film expect the runtime. Anyway coming later in the week both heat and King of comedy still to come
