Tove JanssonI's worldwide fame lasts on ve often wondered about the Moomin books, written in the 1940s story that patchwork quilting began as a way for women (and later becoming television characters myth would have it that it was always women) to make an extra blanket out of the simplicity, naivety and sheer material which would otherwise go to waste. This undoubtedly ''did'goodness' that would later produce flowerpot men or teletubbies. Simple drawings, simple storieshappen but when you think about it, simple goodness. What is often forgotten outside you need an awful lot of her native Finland is material to make a quilt and the time could have been better spent if all that she was a serious writer…that she wrote for adults as well required was bedding. Like Thomas Knauer I've come to the conclusion that it began as children…and that she had a feeling for the natural world an art and the simple life has largely continued down that not only informed those child-like trolls but went far beyond any fantasy of how same road with fluctuations in popularity over the world might beyears.

[[imageMelanie Martin read about what happened to Dutch Jews in occupied Amsterdam during World War II and was entranced by what she discovered, particularly in ''The Diary of Ann Frank'' but then realised that her own family's stories were equally fascinating. A hundred and seven thousand Jews were deported from the city during the war years, but only five thousand survived and Martin could not understand how this could be allowed to happen in a country with liberal values who were resistant to German occupation. Most people believed that the occupation could never happen:3even those who thought that the Germans might reach the city were convinced that they would soon be pushed back, that the Amsterdammers would never allow what happened to escalate in the way that it did, but initial protests melted away as the organisers became more circumspect.5star It's an atrocity on a vast scale, but made up of tens of thousands of individual tragedies.jpg|link=Category:{{{rating}}} Star Reviews]] [[War and Love:Category:CrimeA family's testament of anguish, endurance and devotion in occupied Amsterdam by Melanie Martin|CrimeFull Review]]
When council officer Chris Buckley is approached by an old man who wants his help in healing a decades' old family rift he's reluctant to get involved, but then Chris is reluctant to get involved in anything but a pint in the pub these days. It could just be the way that he is, or the fact that he's just lost both his parents within three months of each other. He's currently existing in the family home and wondering when he's going to be made redundant from his job with the council. The short answer to that one is 'soon'. Chris does his best to deter the old man, but it's not before he's left a lot of papers with his neighbour. Then the old man is murdered and the police come calling on Chris.
