![]() ![]() We learn, through young Marjane’s eyes, what happened when the Shah was overthrown and the new Islamic regime took over the country veils and single gender schools for a start as what is to come becomes ever-frighteningly clear. The daughter of Marxists and the great granddaughter of Iran’s last emperor, Satrapi’s visually stunning memoir (flick through for her incredible graphics) of her childhood in Iran is quite simply, magnificent and haunting at the same time. And, right now, Persepolis by be more pertinent. A flick back to particular parts at times when I either need them or they somehow come back into my mind. ![]() What I do like to do is return to books at certain moments. It’s just not something I do - in fact only once have I re-read a book (A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving and I read it again as soon as I finished it for the first time, I kid you not). ![]() Unlike my dear friend C, I’m not a big re-reader. ![]() ![]() ![]() Without backup, they can only rely on their wits-and on each other-to survive. ![]() Just when things can't get any more confusing, the next morning brings a worsening storm-and a murder.Cut off from the outside world, Hazard and Somers must face a clever, determined killer who is hiding among the mansion's guests. Living with Somers, whom he has been drawn to since high school, makes 'complicated' the understatement of the year.The turmoil of living together spills over when Hazard and Somers find themselves trapped by the weather in an old mansion and, against Hazard's better judgment, sharing a bed. Hazard, however, finds his life has only grown more complicated as he adjusts to his new home. ![]() The brutal murders that rocked the quiet town of Wahredua have been put to rest. ![]() ![]() “Begins like a murder mystery, continues like an episode of The Twilight Zone, and finishes with a kind of existentialism that wouldn’t be out of place in a Von Trier film.” - Publishers Weekly, starred review ![]() From the moment I read this I was changed.” - M. Its themes of aging had me thinking about my parents and children and how quickly it all goes by. ![]() It is a profound mystery, sci-fi graphic novel that is illustrated so beautifully and with such humanity. Levy’s dramatic storytelling works seamlessly with Peeters’s sinister art to create a profoundly disturbing and fantastical mystery. Soon everybody is growing older-every half hour-and there doesn’t seem to be any way out of the cove. Then there is the odd fact that all the children are aging rapidly. It’s a perfect beach day, or so thought the family, young couple, a few tourists, and a refugee who all end up in the same secluded, idyllic cove filled with rock pools and sandy shore, encircled by green, densely vegetated cliffs.įirst there is the dead body of a woman found floating in the crystal-clear water. ![]() Night Shyamalan, from his screenplay based on the graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters. The movie is scheduled to be released July 23, 2021. The inspiration for Old, a Blinding Edge Pictures production, directed and produced by two-time Oscar nominee M. ![]() |
