As last month, this again became an incident where I picked up one book to review and ended up buying another two.

Bomber’s Moon, Weep Not For The Past, and A Manx Tale, all set at the beginning of World War II, offer the plight of lovers who have been separated. At such a time as the war, this gives a sense of suspense as well as puzzle to each story. The reader forgets the other word in this series, Liars, until the very end. And while each novel is not based totally on a lie, mistruth or myth is prominent.
Skill is demonstrated in word and story.
All three books are written by someone who has control of the narrative. The characters are superb. A prominent female character, Caroline, rises above the male protagonists in her dramtic, comedic nature.
Romance, the books tell a tale of two lovers, men.
Intrigue, all three offer puzzled plots needing to be ferreted out, and while there are clues to lead the reader, the story is not ruined by making the clues so easy that the endings don’t come as a surprise.

A review on the essays could never merit the words on the pages in this simple but powerful contemplation of equity—or lack thereof.
Edited by Paul Fahey. A MUST READ!

Fahey could have placed this novel’s setting else where, but using a convalescent home where someone because of age and alone is trapped was perfect. When asked if the story was true, Fahey responded: The story is fiction but I have to tell you what inspired it. It all began with an article I read by writer, Marie Cartier, about her lesbian friend, Rae, who was dying alone after having lived a closeted, hidden life due to the prevailing attitudes of the times in which she lived.
During summer vacation, the protagonist, Lana, takes on a part-time job at St. Catherine’s Elderly Care. After reading Gertie’s diary, Lana becomes more involved with her, and as Gertie’s stay at the home becomes more tenuous, Lana with the help of her mother, who’s relationship with Lana is also tenuous, seek to save Gertie before it’s too late.
This novel offers a perspective that is new insightful perspective...I wanted to write this book from a younger person’s POV. Something from this 21st century generation without preconceived prejudices and who would fight for her friend’s dignity.
