Part 2: Review
BOOK REVIEWS BY LOUISE PURSER
THE MYSTERY OF MERCY CLOSE
Marian Keyes (£18.99, Michael Joseph)
Private investigator Helen Walsh is having a rough time - with work, her home and the past - and doesn’t know how she’s going to make ends meet. The reappearance of her ex, Jay, complicates life further as does the case of the missing boyband member. Marian Keyes’ latest novel is warm, funny and typically brilliant.
THE LAST TELEGRAM
Liz Trenow (£6.99, HarperCollins)
Lily Verner stays at home to work in the family mill as war breaks out across Europe. The work they do has to be accurate as they weave parachute silk for soldiers. When German Jewish refugees arrive at the mill, Lily falls for Stefan, triggering prejudiced reactions. Based on Liz Trenow’s family history this is an incredible and emotional story about the strength of love.
EYE CONTACT
Fergus McNeill (£19.99, Hodder & Stoughton)
Robert Naysmith comes across as a regular guy, a smartly dressed businessman keeping himself to himself. But he has a very dark secret - he’s a murderer. And what makes things particularly difficult for Detective Inspector Harland, who is covering the case, is that he has no motive at all - a victim only has to make eye contact! This is a very impressive debut novel full of suspense.
BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS
Alison Maloney (£9.99, Virgin Books)
After the first World War, people began to let their hair down and parties, fashion and having a good time became the priority of the young and rich. The 1920s have a reputation for being fun and Alison Maloney’s book explores the decade in detail. The first-hand accounts in this book of the roaring 1920s are a reminder of what it was all about. Star Magazine, 2012.
Part 3: Short text
Life on Mars
American billionaire Dennis Tito has plans to send a couple on a mission to Mars. Tito and his team don’t want just any couple on this 501-day return trip to the planet. They want two peas in a pod: the ideal candidates would be people who can cope with being together all the time, for about a year and a half, in a confined space. And there will be no distractions. The facilities will be very basic in order to save money. For the same reason, there is no landing on the cards. So you will go all the way to the Red Planet and back, without ever leaving your spaceship. No leg-stretching stroll, no glorious holiday snaps by your Martian sandcastle to show the family, no ‘meet the neighbours’! Is there any excitement left in this trip? After the fun of the first week in space, all you’ll have around is your partner. The risk of flying in the face of danger under such precarious conditions is that when radiation overexposure gets you, you’ll be long dead... of boredom! I’m passionate about space and sci-fi things. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut. But the journey to adventure has to be a bumpy ride. If I’m sent to Mars, I want to go with a total stranger. The more alien the better. Each mind, each personal history, is like a planet and I would have all that to discover on my way to Mars. It is the unknown that is exciting! I would want to go to space with my own alien on board. bbc.co.uk, 2013
Part 4: Poem
My Mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun ~ William Shakespeare
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
