![]() As breast cancer permeates her family history-even her paternal grandfather underwent a radical mastectomy in the 1970s-Riggs wasn’t completely shocked by her diagnosis, but it took time for the reality of illness to sink in, as well as the development that one of her young sons was diabetic. The author entered the fray with her doctor’s grim announcement of “one small spot” on her breast and began years of treatment for a cancerous lesion that seemed initially manageable, spread, and eventually claimed her life just this year. When poet Riggs’ ( Lucky, Lucky, 2009) diagnosis of breast cancer suddenly became terminal at age 38, her view of all living things narrowed to her two sons, her strong yet fearful husband, John, and the memory of her mother, who died just months before. ![]() ![]() A loving mother of two meditates on the nature of life and death. ![]()

Narcopolis is a maze of human temperaments, which if grasped, will surely move your heart. ![]() The story is both simple and complex at the same time simple because of its unfussy structure and complicated because of its knotty characters – the lives they lead, the dilemmas they face and the contexts that led them into being what they are now – opium addicts. The narrator of this story is an opium pipe – a pipe older than life itself. ![]() “I found Bombay and opium, the drug and the city, the city of opium and the drug Bombay.” ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1885 Conan Doyle married Louisa (or Louise) Hawkins, known as "Touie". He completed his doctorate on the subject of tabes dorsalis in 1885. Following his graduation, he was employed as a ship's doctor on the SS Mayumba during a voyage to the West African coast. His first published story appeared in " Chambers's Edinburgh Journal" before he was 20. While studying, Conan Doyle began writing short stories. This required that he provide periodic medical assistance in the towns of Aston (now a district of Birmingham) and Sheffield. ![]() ![]() He then went on to Stonyhurst College, leaving in 1875.įrom 1876 to 1881 he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. It also names Michael Conan as his godfather.Īt the age of nine Conan Doyle was sent to the Roman Catholic Jesuit preparatory school, Hodder Place, Stonyhurst. His baptism record in the registry of St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh gives 'Arthur Ignatius Conan' as his Christian name, and simply 'Doyle' as his surname. They were married in 1855.Īlthough he is now referred to as "Conan Doyle", the origin of this compound surname (if that is how he meant it to be understood) is uncertain. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, a talented illustrator, was born in England of Irish descent, and his mother, born Mary Foley, was Irish. Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born the third of ten siblings on in Edinburgh, Scotland. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And the importance of always reading the small print, and trusting people you love. The Christian analogy gets a bit mad if you over analyse it - if I ran into a group of people who symbolically killed someone to reenact Christ's sacrifice every 50 years I'd decide they were a crazy cult, and not very nice with it, but in here this is what the good guys have to do to keep the devil bound - but it does powerfully communicate ideas of love and sacrifice. The fine balancing act between children's and YA continues - they read like they are aimed at (older) children, but then there is the delightful bit where Nita and Kit are sneaking out to save the world and their parents think they're bunking off to have sex, which was very well done, and much more YA. And I found myself tearing up when Carl discusses Nita's options with her so frankly and honestly. It is quite nice to get a YA book where kids actually tell their parents what is going on. And the themes are powerful and moving - Nita's wrestling with telling the truth, and keeping her word, and being a willing sacrifice, not shirking responsibilities. The story is more unusual - although 'christian allegory where polluting the world is bad and sacrifice is good' is not the most novel plot ever, the underwater world of whales and sharks and dolphins is very well done. I enjoyed this much more than So You Want To Be A Wizard. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Furrington, a statuette of Jesus Christ, and an antique wooden doll with sunken eyes and metal insides that he calls Scowler.

It was slow getting into, but one must make allowances for Blackmore's (to us) antiquated style: archaic vocabulary, country dialect to slog through, plus a great deal of religious and political warfare-obscure historical references for most Americans. ![]() In my opinion, LORNA is much more readable and almost enjoyable. This book is quite different from Blackmore's AT THE BACK OF THE NORTH WIND no intertwined Fact and Fantasy here, but a curious blend of Romance and Adventure, as if the author were not entirely certain which genre he was brewing up in the wild countryside. Novels written in the 19th century are not everyone's cup of English tea, so taste therefrom with literary trepidation.
