![]() ![]() This one had been used by someone else, the crumb of orange/brown wax told me as much.’ She’s obviously had a lot of experience of dealing with the police as their voices seemed utterly believable. McBeth’s experience as a TV reporter herself shines through in this story giving it authenticity and weight as she uses details such as: ‘I stared at the earpiece. ![]() ![]() Written in the form of a letter to Clara, in a manner similar to Rosamund Lupton’s Sister, Precious Thing is a fast paced, chilling, psychological thriller. Rachel sets out to find the truth about her friend’s disappearance. The problem is Rachel was there that night and Clara didn’t show up. When she arrives at the press conference, however, she sees that the missing girl is none other than Clara who apparently went missing after a night out with friends. One day Rachel is sent to Brighton to cover the story of a missing girl. Later in their twenties, Rachel has everything she wanted: career as a TV reporter, flat, fantastic boyfriend whilst Clara’s life has spiralled out of control, but the past is always there and will never let either of them go. Clara O’Connor and Rachel Walsh meet at school and from that moment on they share everything – except the truth. Not you.’ This is the premise of Precious Thing, the debut novel of former BBC news correspondent turned novelist Colette McBeth. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once I started writing this with David, I raided my father’s book collection. I met Bill at the office of the Cardiff Post, and after I mentioned ‘nostalgia’, a reporter named Martin Donovan quickly intervened (jokily) with ‘Nostalgia?! You mean local history …’ Well yes, Martin, you were right, but at some point, one runs into the other – I note from reading David’s Splott piece that Bill was an influence on him, too, because he was his junior school teacher. When I began reading newspaper pieces on ‘old Cardiff’, I found that Bill Barrett, Brian Lee and Dan O’Neill were a big help, although Dan, of course, does not deal in ‘nostalgia’ alone. From the age of about 12, I had to hear all this stuff, and I suppose at some point during my 20s, I started actually listening to it! There were also recollections from my mother, Joan Withers, and stepfather, Frank Withers. ![]() Much of the information on what Cardiff used to be like came, initially, from conversations with my father Keith Bennett. ![]() ![]() ![]() They are all running from something and at the same time, allowing their pasts to dictate their present. ![]() In this case, the focus is the residents of the Dellawisp. Like a lot of the author’s books, this story is about a collective (a family, a town, etc.) rather than one individual. But although some stories aren’t meant to be told, others are waiting to be written. But Zoey is determined to make new connections, both with her neighbors and with her mother, whose past is a mystery. Two estranged sisters, a girl running from her past, and a shy chef who can’t let go of the woman who raised him. When Zoey arrives, the other residents are standoffish if not outright rude. Both the residence and the island are magical – made famous by a reclusive author and the island’s history of producing marshmallows. Named for the tiny, larger-than-life turquoise birds who inhabit the courtyard, The Dellawisp is a renovated horse stable tucked away behind the main street. Here’s the blurb: When Zoey graduates from high school, she moves to Mallow Island, SC to claim her inheritance – a condo at The Dellawisp left to her by her mother. Although not quite like some of her earlier books, Other Birds didn’t disappoint. Like a lot of fans, I’ve been waiting a long time for another Sarah Addison Allen novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nina has been an Associate Faculty member at Antioch University, and a Visiting Professor at Cornell University, Occidental College, and Pitzer College. ![]() She now works in philanthropy, as part of a comprehensive effort to improve economic mobility for low-income children and their families. ![]() ![]() Until recently, Nina was executive vice president and chief operating officer of a affected by violence and poverty in Los Angeles.
