EASTER LILIES

Mentioned many times in the Bible, the white lily symbolises purity, rebirth, new  beginnings and hope and is most often associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ as observed at Easter. It is also associated as a symbol of gratitude and of remembrance.

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Three books I enjoyed and would recommend.

Gill Paul’s “The Affair”.  Set in 1961 in Italy during the filming of “Cleopatra”.  An excellent plot with well drawn characters, a story of love and betrayal with the glamour of Taylor and Burton.

Leigh Russell’s “Rachel’s Story” – a dystopian future following world war, pandemic and food shortages.  Makes us contemplate our own world and demonstrates the resilience of the human spirit.

Finally, a Lindsay Gordon mystery by V.L. McDermid “Booked for Murder” – set in London’s publishing world an award winning author is executed in the same manner as her latest (unpublished) novel…
