The Invention of Hugo Cabret – Brian Selznick – 5***** & a ❤
What a treasure! This inventive, unusual novel in words and pictures won the Caldecott medal for illustration. The book is intended for children, but will delight adults as well. The story of Hugo, Isabelle and Papa Georges is enthralling, and kept me guessing. But the drawings … oh, the drawings! They are rich and subtle and complex and detailed, showing incredible depth of field and use of light and shadow.

I am a fan of the compassionate, intelligent, Booker-winning Aussie author Richard Flanagan, so it's no surprise that I enjoyed his recent Question 7. He is a deeply insightful man who combines his historical research with moving prose. This goes from Aboriginal history to the atom bomb and beyond.
My review of Question 7
The Story of a Panic by E.M. Forster is another quirky tale I read, courtesy of the Goodreads Short Story Club. The stories are always worth a look, and my review has a link so you can read it online.
