One fine day

4.0 (6)

Mollie Panter-Downes was a great writer with a style as smooth as silk. She had a wide following for her New Yorker columns, but I encountered her by accident while browsing the fiction shelves in my university library. At first, nothing much happens in One Fine Day, which is set in England in 1947. And then, it seems to me, everything happens. I found myself thinking: this is life, as viewed from a hilltop. I've read the book multiple times, and I still can't see how she does it. I bought a copy on Amazon, a first edition. It is one of my favourite books: gentle, lucid, surprising, precisely constructed.

#2

Cinderella

0.0 (0)

One of the most famous tales in the world. Is about a poor little servant-girl. Cinderella was her name. And the way she was treated was a shame. She had a wicked stepmother and two ugly sisters but they couldn't stop the prince from wanting to kiss her. In the end she became a princess and that's the part we all like best.

#3

Noah's Ark

0.0 (0)

Now that she has a bachelor's degree in art history, Emily is unable to find work in her field. So she heads to West Virginia, the only place she's ever felt at home, to see if she can figure out what to do with her life. Noah may be in over his head. His veterinary practice is taking off, but he has little help and too many clients in arrears. When Emily comes to work for him part-time, her skills and pleasant nature quickly pull things into order. At least in the office. His heart, however, is another matter!
