That aside, though, I loved how Gläser treated these characters in the new setting. Unlike other contemporary retellings I have read, these characters do feel like a modern variant, though they are ones that are true to their original. It's unsurprising that Darcy was my favourite: while he comes across as condescending and arrogant, he's actually a really nice guy and a loving brother. I also really enjoyed Emma, even if I do believe she should have been Elizabeth. She is one of the best-developed voices of a teenager I've come across: she sways between hey I'm just a kid and I am all so grown up. She makes a lot of stupid mistakes but she is willing to admit her own faults. She can be snarky and out of line but she's a genuinely good friend. I like that she cared about the school itself, that the younger students felt welcome and that she looked out for her father. The supporting characters, although some of them vaguely inspired by P&P characters (but not all of them, which I was disappointed at, when Charlotte and Mr Collins didn't show up, and neither did Caroline, whose inclusion in this P&P-inspired story would have been highly entertaining) were entertaining. Darcy broods about as any Byronic hero, and watching him and Emma come to terms with their feelings was fun. It felt natural and unrushed, moving through the stages of friendship. The realisation may have been sudden, but the build up was not, and who can blame a 16 year old girl for realising very suddenly that maybe she has feelings for someone she thought she hated? Two hundred years ago, one fleet of colony ships left planet Earth and began a settlement on Proxima Centauri. There’s a very famous episode, which you can see on YouTube, in which he goes to Ringwood Market. It must be the mid-1970s and there’s an old woman who, every week, brings three pats of butter to Ringwood Market, and she sells her pats of butter, and then goes home. That’s in the centre of Ringwood. Now it’s probably got a McDonald’s and an HMV and a Waterstones, right there in the spot she once was. There are two: The Sioux and then a sequel called The Gold Tip Pfitzer (1973). The Sioux is about this eccentric family of French origin who live in New Orleans. The mother is awfully protective of the son, and it could be mildly incestuous, you’re never quite sure, and everyone is dysfunctional, and they’re all extremely rich, and it’s very dark and very funny.

Wow! Let me just say, wow. I have never read a book like this, and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. It sounds creepy. There’s the element of abuse, too, with the son who’s disabled, and then this Englishman comes along and marries into the family. Best aspect: The fantastical, magical aspect of the story. The premise of a book that makes whatever is written in it come true was explored in interesting (and sometimes bittersweet) ways. I loved the connection to fairy tales and folklore, and the messages in this story about the power of words, and the danger of trying to make wishes come true (that could end up having unforeseen consequences!). It certainly showed magic to be a double-edged sword. Plus, the whole idea of this magical book totally gave me Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets vibes!Characters - I enjoyed all the characters, for such a short book they felt developed enough but not as well fleshed out of course... Then he and Welles have an acrimonious split and he goes off and becomes a theatre producer and a director and all sorts of other things. In his 70s, someone says to him, ‘There’s a role in this film, would you mind doing it?’ And he says, ‘Oh, okay, I’ll give it a go,’ and he wins an Oscar for it.

And because we’re talking about books that you’ll often come to second-hand, the same goes for the material itself: you know you’re reading something that someone else has read. You don’t know how many hands it’s passed through. It’s that connection to times gone by; I like the idea that something that someone produced 20, 30, 50, 100 years ago still resonates with someone today. Part of you thinks, ‘Is the mum sleeping with her son? She might be, I’m not sure,’ and it makes you feel mildly uncomfortable. It’s presented as odd. Actually, thinking about it again now – and this is going to sound awful, but I don’t mean the incestuous bit, just the overall dysfunctional, weird, rich family – you could probably replace everyone’s surname with Trump. It would make sense. Rich, dysfunctional families are always great value. What’s the prose like? The extracts I found put me in mind of something like A Confederacy of Dunces (1980). Durch das traumhafte Setting (Schloss, eingebettet im Wald mit anschließender Klosterruine, gelegen am Rhein) ergibt sich zauberhaftes Bild. Man gerät schon fast ins Schwärmen, wenn man an das Internat denkt. Denn hier scheint es einfach perfekt zu sein. Emma zumindest hat nichts auszusetzen und auch die anderen Schüler sind allesamt stolz, hier zur Schule zu gehen. Tradition wird großgeschrieben.

Publication Order of Forgotten Starship Books

You’ve got this young doctor working in 18th-century Lymington. He is interested in philosophy and the way of the world at a time when most things were still unknown. Doctors didn’t know all the things they needed to know to cure people. He befriends an older doctor, and they meet regularly to have philosophical chats, and these philosophical chats are in the book. He is also introduced to a woman, who is probably in her 30s, who has bought a big house in Lymington. She suggests that they have a ‘conversation.’ M. R. Forbes spent his childhood attempting to read every scifi novel that he could find (and write some of his own as well), see every scifi movie that made it into the theater, and play every scifi video game, he’s truly got a deep love of the genre across any and every medium. He works hard to bring that same exact energy to the stories he writes, with a continuing goal to surprise, fascinate, entertain, and delight. Gleichzeitig versucht sie auch etwas über Darcys Schwester Gina zu erfahren, die vier Jahre zuvor verschwunden ist. Dabei kommen sich Darcy und Emma näher, doch das macht Darcy auch nicht sympathischer. Glaubt Emma zumindest... It sounds like the sort of thing that would go down well with fans of the present strand of nature writing – there’s a Robert Macfarlane-ish twinge.
