| Review for each of the 14 stories is under that title. There are basically two types of stories here: in the first kind, Parker Pyne plays con to save his client from their unhappiness, and in the other, he plays the detective—sometimes unwillingly. ...more | |

Second last stories of the Parker Pyne series, and he goes back to his line of work even though he is still on vacation. It’s time he realizes he cannot have vacation—he is too famous. And he uses the same trick he used in The Case of the Discontente ...more |

| Very convincing reason why Parker Pyne had to do the work even though he was on vacation and he had sworn not to work. Excellent | |

| Interesting okay. I think the best part is how Parker Pyne traps the culprit. | |

With this story, our Mr Parker Pyne leaves his London office. I don’t know if the “truth” Parker Pyne maintains holds true. I think it’s true only for wealthy women who have nothing better than to gossip and to worry about their husbands. And that’s ...more |

Second story of Mr Parker Pyne on travel, and here it has little to do with happiness. A criminal on the run and a witness—I’m sure each of them were unhappy, but they were not his clients. I think the “trick” is too forced. If you stab a man, he’d b ...more |

“Unending Love
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man's days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.”
― Selected Poems

Thanks for the friend request Akemi! I'm looking forward to watching your feed and finding more Japanese novels I should have on my TBR!

Thank you very much for your friend request, Akemi. I am ecstatic to see your love and understanding of Japanese lit. I am still a neophyte in it but I have great enthusiasm and I bet we will have wonderful discussions about books, life and other interesting matters. I notice you mentioned Shakespeare as one of your fav writers. Another match. I have "The Tale of the Genji" spotted out and your response encourages me to tackle it sooner than later.
