Deja vu - what does it signify?
You know those times when you feel you've been there before or someone has said that before? When you know for a fact that it hasn't happened before?

| What a wonderful book: a short novel that packs a punch. Beautifully and gently written, it speaks of the hidden horrors of Ireland's past: the power of the church to silence a community against the backdrop of the tragedy of abuse in the Irish Magda ...more | |

“CUSTOMER: Hi, I just wanted to ask: did Anne Frank ever write a sequel?
BOOKSELLER: ........
CUSTOMER: I really enjoyed her first book.
BOOKSELLER: Her diary?
CUSTOMER: Yes, the diary.
BOOKSELLER: Her diary wasn’t fictional.
CUSTOMER: Really?
BOOKSELLER: Yes... She really dies at the end – that’s why the diary finishes. She was taken to a concentration camp.
CUSTOMER: Oh... that’s terrible.
BOOKSELLER: Yes, it was awful -
CUSTOMER: I mean, it’s such a shame, you know? She was such a good writer.”
