They Don’t Know How
Hello again, all you lovely readers. It’s been a while. In the meantime, I took part in various activities, the most important being our daughter’s amazing and unique wedding.
Recently, I’ve been posting short excerpts from the wonderful reviews for Cultivating a Fuji on social media – Twitter and Instagram. This has caused me to reflect on each sentence. Here’s the one I posted today:

Sometimes, it's extremely hard to rate a book. Is my impression completely objective or does it depend on my mood when I read it? It's so hard to tell. I started off feeling delighted to be returning to the beautiful Isle of Wight and another book by ...more |

At first, I wasn't sure I was in the mood for a light story. But I soon found that the superb writing, the humour and the interesting idea behind the plot combined to draw me into the fictional world of the novel. When two women swap places for a week ...more |

It was lovely to return to the familiar characters for another exciting thriller with interwoven threads. I'm not sure I completely understood what was going on by the end. That's probably my fault; I wasn't concentrating hard enough. I didn't like ha ...more |

"Faberge is the third book in the Becky White thrillers series. I was compelled to read it by the title. Faberge eggs are certainly something to conjure an image in my mind.
As it's the first book in the series that I've read, it's taken me a little w" Read more of this review » |

| Like Livingston's growing Isabel Long series, this book is well-written and completely believable, giving a fabulous insight into small town rural New England life. The difference here is that the mystery is not WHO did it, but rather WHAT, WHEN and ...more | |

A New Page: A collection of historical fiction short stories and poems
by Jennifer C. Wilson (Goodreads Author) |

| This is a lovely collection of short stories and poems covering various periods in history. I liked them all, especially the ones about common folk. No doubt others will prefer to read about kings and queens. Fortunately, there's something here for e ...more | |

“A child who suffers from PTSD has made unsuccessful attempts to get help, and as the victimization continues, he stops asking for it. He withdraws socially, because he’s never quite sure when interaction is going to lead to another incident of bullying….
Different people have different responses to stress. In Peter’s case, I saw an extreme emotional vulnerability, which, in fact, was the reason he was teased. Peter didn’t play by the codes of boys. He wasn’t a big athlete. He wasn’t tough. He was sensitive. And difference is not always respected – particularly when you’re a teenager. Adolescence is about fitting in, not standing out.”

“Ehud was tall and strong and was always quiet. Lots of people thought that Ehud was quiet because he was stupid. That wasn’t true. He may not have been the smartest kid on the block, but he was no moron either.”

“That's just how white folks will do you. It wasn't merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn't know they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserved of their scorn.”
