"I also read a book recently called Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. She's phenomenal, and she's written so many beautiful books. Purple Hibiscus was also quite moving, about a family - a daughter, and a brother, a mother and a father - and these deep, intricate details of their life and the complexities of it all. You find yourself falling in love with this family and really being taken on their journey, their heartbreak, and their secrets - it is a beautiful and amazing read."

On the eve of retirement a middle class, judgemental snob discovers her husband has been having an affair with her best friend and is forced into exile with her bohemian sister who lives on an impoverished inner-city council estate.

This is a wonderful combination of some super talent. A really nice quality film, simply story and really enjoyable. I don't know what else to say about this one. Pleasing, with a some laughs and a little bit of heartbreak.

Oh my goodness. This book is just wow. It is so authentic and so heartbreaking. It speaks to the desire of our society to make snap judgements based on the media. It is about a school shooting, yes, but it is about so much more...family, heartbreak, love, loss, heroism. This was a great read despite the fact that I ugly cried for the last 5 chapters or so. This is one of those books that is going to stay with me for a loonngggg time.
