I love them and I'm sure that they love me but they didn't always show it. I'm not trying to bash my parents or anything.

But with more than 60 books under her belt, she is a writer who can find passion and interest in any subject sent her way, as diverse as the subjects of her two new books, biographies of Willie O’Ree and Terry Fox. This attention to science makes sense, as a former editor at OWL magazine. A catalogue deep with biographies of Chris Hadfield, Albert Einstein, and Marie Curie, she pulls these figures out of recent and far history, and brings their lives and accomplishments to the attention of children across Canada.

Two themes of his book preside: the permanent vulnerability of Henry's regime, and his ruthless methods of rule. Yet in the hands of a narrator as accomplished as Penn, the reign acquires its own, troubling fascination. Its goals, relentlessly pursued until Henry's death in 1509, were the establishment of a royal house, the elimination of opposition, and the steady accumulation of power and wealth. The father's government was an exercise in discoloration. Shakespeare later turned to Henry's son and successor Henry VIII, whose rule brought marital sensation, renaissance spectacle and the reformation. His history plays depicted the dramatic conflicts of the wars of the roses, which Henry's accession after his victory at Bosworth in 1485 brought to an end. Shakespeare, drawn to the colour on either side of the reign, skipped it. H enry VII can look a dull king, so dull that Thomas Penn's title omits his name. ![]() ![]() So, in a lot of ways, yes, I want readers to know what is in store for them when they pick it up, and to approach the book with that perspective.

Good Morning, great idea to start this thread. Is the author saying that the husband is going to start to kill all over again? Was Millicent NOT the madwoman she was made out to be, and HE was the one pulling the strings all along? The last scene: he is in a bar, pretending to be Quentin - and he is pretending to be deaf!!! The daughter kills Millicent, but the husband covers for the daughter and it is ruled self-defense. But when he dicovered that she actually killed more than he knew about, AND that he was being set up by her, he confronted her. My understanding was that the husband searched for the victims and Millicent - the wife - disposed of them.
