I know that those stars mean more to an author, than they do to me as the reviewer who's doling them o Dina Silver is an author, a wine lover, and an excellent parallel parker.

The novel opens with the death of the eponymous American diplomat Pyle, and a series of flashbacks shows the difficult history of their relationship. Like Norman Lewis’ travel memoir Dragon Apparent, Greene eschews sentimentalisation, for the most part, again an unexpectedly refreshing take when one has become a little numbed by a lot of the insipid travel writing colliding around the web these days (we should know, we write some of it…) Greene, who was a correspondent himself in Vietnam from 1951 to 1954 and found inspiration in a real life American he once shared a ride with, writes from the perspective of Fowler, a jaded British foreign correspondent and long-time Saigon resident. The multi-layered, sparsely written novel set in the early 1950s remains a searing critique of the US meddling in the internal affairs of a nation and people it knows nothing about.

So why don’t we do the things we say we will? We skip the gym after a long day’s work, we keep scrolling through Instagram as a deadline draws nearer, and we check email and notifications while trying to spend time with our friends and loved ones.

At five years old, she has suffered over fifty bone breaks and spends much of her time in a wheelchair. Instead, their lives are made up of sleepless nights, mounting bills, the pitying stares of ?luckier? parents, and maybe worst of all, the what-ifs. Handle With Care is a novel about a family who’s young daughter suffered from Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or brittle bone syndrome.

Old children's bikes and scooters would bring in up to £200 and my husband's tape deck, which was once top of the range, could be worth as much as £300 on eBay. The going rate on Gumtree for our old baby backpack carrier is around £30 and for my foot spa (incredibly, there is still a market for foot spas, although I've never met a single woman who's used hers more than twice) I could get anything from £5 to £15.

You would think dealing with this would be my job. She had 90 seconds before that blade moved and dumped her down to be incinerated in the collectors. I isolated her comm signal and heard harsh, frightened breathing. Gravity was lighter in the shaft, and there was a chance that the impacts hadn’t-yeah, she was moving.
