The Child's Child - Barbara Vine - Penguin Books
11 weeks ago by tabardroad
Barbara Vine's new novel, her first since The Birthday Present in 2008, is an intriguing examination of betrayal in a family, and of those two once-unmentionable subjects, illegitimacy and homosexuality. Set in London and in Devon now and more than half a century ago, it shows vividly how society's attitudes and mores have changed in many respects - yet stubbornly remain the same in others.

Ruth Rendell: Little Hearts Matter
may 2011 by tabardroad
Ruth Rendell has been appointed vice-president of the children's heart charity Little Hearts Matter, which supports children born with non-correctable and complex heart conditions. "I have a soft spot for charities that help children," she said. "I try putting myself into the shoes of these children's parents. I have, as you might guess, a pretty active imagination - and although I don't come near entering into their fear or feeling with their love, I do manage a degree of empathy."
