They fall in love the way you do the first time, when you’re young, and you feel as if you have nothing and everything to lose. Slowly, steadily, through late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mix tapes, Eleanor and Park fall for each other. Black T-shirts, headphones, head in a book – he thinks he’s made himself invisible. Here is what the back cover of the book says about the story.Įleanor is the new girl in town, and with her chaotic family life, her mismatched clothes and unruly red hair, she couldn’t stick out more if she tried. Kelly was recommending Rainbow Rowell’s ‘Eleanor and Park’ to everyone, sometime back, and so I thought I will read it. When she recommends one book above all else, you know that it is going to be a sure winner. Kelly has probably read all the YA books which are in print and the ones which are expected to come out in the next few months. Sometimes I ask Kelly from KellyVision for recommendations. ![]() ![]() Once in a while, when I want to read a YA book, I look around to see what others are reading. ![]()

Here was a Sunday afternoon when Dad’s and my Scrabble game was interrupted by the appearance at the office door of a policeman with a drunk in tow, the drunk having been in a fight and suffering a badly slashed face.

He was an Officer of the Order of Canada.īorn on January 18, 1941, in Leamington, Ontario, Bliss was raised in nearby Kingsville, Ontario.

One of the most interesting aspects of her novels is that one character is never like any other. She creates sensational female characters that entrap you in the moment and glue you to the page you’re reading. Margaret Atwood is a supreme female author. We come to know these women well, as Atwood dives deep into their uniquely bleak histories, and witness how Zenia charms her way into the life and trust of each of them, only to slip away in broad daylight with their men, one after another. ![]() Three of these four have had their marriage or relationship unravelled by the beautiful, and relentlessly heartless, Zenia, and we witness how each romance is inexplicably, but inevitably, damaged by her treacherous charm. ![]() Set in Toronto, The Robber Bride is a driven and vividly intense study of four very different women and their relationships with one another. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, I’d stopped reading the invitation after “Please join us for an afternoon with Judy Blume” what more did I need to know? Alas, this gathering wasn’t going to be the intimate affair I’d imagined, the one where Blume and I sat in an empty theater and bonded over a box of Milk Duds. Mine said, “Are You There God? It’s Me, Elisabeth.” One table was piled high with copies of Blume’s book, another with personalized diaries. The hip SoHo hangout was abuzz with laughing, chatting, selfie-snapping, champagne-sipping fans of the novel that launched a thousand breast enhancement exercises and frank conversations about puberty.

It’s Me, Margaret,” a man in the lobby located my name on a list, then directed me to a line for the coat check. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Or consider the costumes worn by the cast in the television series “Pose,” about the city’s underground ball culture, as well as the robe and gloves worn by Robert De Niro, who starred in the film “Raging Bull,” which depicted the boxer Jake LaMotta. Take for example, the commuter, Speedy, portrayed by Harold Lloyd in the 1928 silent film of the same name, and Michael Richards’s Kramer of the long-running television series “Seinfeld.” Both confront the decades-old problem of finding a satisfactory seat on a subway train, as clips of the actors’ work show.
