Tony Vanderwarker, raised in New England, spent a couple years at Yale and then served two years in the Peace Corps where he got bitten both by tsetse flies and the writing bug. He went to film school at NYU and made documentaries and a full length film which didn’t sell so he decided to try shorter films and went into advertising. Fifteen years later, he had his own ad agency in Chicago where he did “Be Like Mike” for Gatorade. When his partners bought him out, Tony finally had a chance to write full time. It only took him fifteen more years to finally get a book published. “Who cares?” Tony says, “some writers hit paydirt fast, others take longer. I’m just glad my time has come.” visit www.tonyvanderwarker. com Mary Morony author of the novel Apron Strings is a Charlottesville native and long time resident of Keswick.

Worth Reading Once considered unique for its multi-purpose design, and frequently the scene of spectacular college basketball, the University of Virginia’s aging and now-outdated University Hall will soon be coming down.

University leaders on Friday approved funding to accompany the addition of University Hall and several adjacent structures to the capital projects plan – a first step in a process that will culminate with the demolition of the building known for its clamshell roof and its shorthanded nickname, “U-Hall.” A resolution approved by the Board of Visitors’ Executive Committee estimates the cost of the project between $12 million and $14 million. That would include historic documentation, asbestos abatement, relocation of existing offices, actual demolition of the building and several nearby structures, and construction of facilities to support sports medicine and strengthtraining functions. While Cavalier men’s and women’s basketball has not been played in University Hall since the 2006 opening of John Paul Jones Arena, the outer ring of the U-Hall concourse continues to house locker rooms and administrative offices for several men’s and women’s sports programs. Structures adjacent to the main building include Onesty Hall, a multipurpose practice room called “the Cage” and a sports medicine facility. Under the plan, those structures also would be removed. During the work, a series of temporary structures will be located in the parking area adjacent to the Cage and provide space for 10 locker rooms, academic advising, equipment, sports nutrition, offices for staff, maintenance, and student lounge and study areas. Two additional structures will provide spaces for sports medicine and strength training. If the project proceeds as proposed, asbestos abatement would begin this summer and the facility demolition would be completed by 2020. “The goal is to make the area more accessible and connected to the broader University community,” Raucher said. “This project is part of the University’s effort to achieve the long-term planning vision for athletics and North Grounds.”

FAMILY FUN IN KESWICK Grace Church’s Historic Farm Tour Where: Keswick. Virginia When: June 9th

History speaks to us through this beautiful place we call

Albemarle County and invites us to listen and dream back to American life in the early 1700’s… For the 9th time, we ask that you join Grace Church’s Farm Tour Committee and our generous Keswick neighbors as we welcome our many guests to a special day in the country and a peek of what lies “beyond the gates”, those rock walls and those tree lined paths leading to some of Virginia’s most respected historical farms. Farm gates will open, the Church grounds will transform to an earlier era Country Fair featuring local artisans, food vendors, Grace Grill, and foot tapping music, pony rides, an English Country Fair children's area and 4-H livestock presentations and show. Again this year, a wonderful assortment of demonstrations awaits visitors at the featured farms. There will be wildlife presentations, the hounds of Keswick, dressage demonstration, children enjoying different activities with horses, and a fabulous antique show. The origin of Grace Church’s Historic Farm Tour – “beyond the gates” can be traced back to March of 2009. The “great recession” was on us, our Annual Meeting just completed and a small group of parishioners gathered to brainstorm “how might Grace Church generate the needed funding to advance its many Outreach Ministries” without impacting the Church’s general operating budget. Our Outreach needs were at their highest, and Grace was no longer able to serve the less fortunate in its local community.

A Love Fest In Keswick

Not only was the weather perfect, not too hot and not too cold, slightly overcast so the colors popped, the farms were all groomed to perfection and the hosts generous with their hospitality. The thousands of visitors responded with genuine interest and appreciation, oohing and ahhing, endlessly thanking hosts for opening their farms and providing not only glorious vistas and interiors but entertainment, a Clydesdale, plein aire painters, wine tastings, vendors and horses and hounds. People think we are slightly daft for putting Chopping Bottom on the tour for the third time but we’ve come to appreciate the delight people take in our place. Their interest and enjoyment of our house and property reminds us how fortunate we are to be living in such a stunningly beautiful place. We met people from Boston, Philly, Chicago, even a visitor from Ankara. I don’t know how many times I heard variations on: “Keswick has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world.” Thanks to all the hosts who graciously opened their farms to thousands. And the gorgeous arrangements provided by garden club members helped put the houses over the top. Thanks to the co-chairs, Michelle Silver and Terri Nicholaou from the Charlottesville Garden Club as well as the hundreds of volunteers who gave up their Sunday to help. The day both helped the Garden Club of Virginia in its garden restoration mission and further enhanced Keswick’s reputation for everyone who visited.

TRAVEL

Summer in Patagonia BY CHARLES THACHER

There were two notable events in 1974

that might remind one of stuff that is happening today. Investigations of President Richard Nixon were proceeding, and 65-year old Arkansas Congressman Wilbur Mills, the famed porkmeister who some beltway insiders considered the most powerful man in Congress, was caught up in a sex scandal with a stripper (porn stars were harder to come by then) named Fanne Foxe, aka the Argentine Firecracker. When Mills was pulled over by police at 2AM on a crisp October night for erratic (or perhaps erotic) driving at the D.C. waterfront, Ms. Foxe, in an act of extraordinary courage and selflessness ran from his car and leapt into the Tidal Basin, in order to save him from the ignominy, which in those quaint and archaic times, would result from being caught with his pants down in the presence of a lady who shed her garments for money. Foxe, who would not have been mistaken for Esther Williams, had to be rescued by the police department’s elite frogman unit. She was justly rewarded for her act of heroism (or is it heroineism?) by being named to Time Magazine’s prestigious list of the world’s Ten Greatest Mistresses, along with her more renowned soulmates, Bathsheba, Anne Boleyn and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Following her natatory episode, she continued to entertain the nation’s governing elite (including the smitten Mills) at a bar on 14th Street, after discreetly changing her pseudonym to The Tidal Basin Bombshell, in an effort to remain anonymous. So, how does this tragic story of unfulfilled ecstasy between two star-crossed lovers relate to my traveling and fishing escapades? Well, after 1974, I fantasized about visiting a country so wonderful, as to have spawned a lady with the mesmerizing charm and talents of Fanne Foxe.

When Evita arrived on Broadway in 1979, with its enchanting music, my fantasy grew. Then I discovered that Argentina was also a great place for fly fishing. I took my first fishing trip to Argentina in 1995 with my son, Tom, and have since have been back nearly every year, occasionally with friends but mostly by myself. I have travelled and fished for trout over a mountainous and sparsely populated area stretching for about 500 miles from Rio Pico in southern Patagonia to Aluminé in the north. As I write this, it’s mid-April, and Old Man Winter, who barely showed up in Keswick when he was expected, has recently settled in and is refusing to leave. What happened to his lamb-like exit those nameless bards of yesteryear promised us by the end of March? Oh well, I’m recently back from two lovely weeks in Argentina where it was summer, so I have nothing to complain about. Except the damn weather! This year’s trip was a little different than past years, in recognition of my advancing years, and a connubial commitment that I will not wander, or even drive, by myself in remote areas without anyone knowing where I am. So, I hired a guide for five days in the Rio Pico area, then joined an organized group of a half-dozen other anglers, to fish for a week at a large estancia (ranch) near the Chilean border. The vast majority of trout fishermen in Argentina are foreigners, mostly Americans. Typically, they spend a week or two with a guide who drives them to three or four different lodges and guides them while there. Rio Pico is an area that, until quite recently, got little attention from travelling anglers because there were few decent accommodations and access to the rivers was restricted because it was

through private estancias. But, in the past decade, three lodges have opened and they have, in turn, worked out an arrangement with the private landowners to cross their properties to get to the rivers. By the time that I got around to planning my trip, the two more upscale lodges were already fully booked, and I ended up at the Las Lomas Lodge, which my Argentine guide, Federico, described as simple, but comfortable. He picked me up at the airport in Esquel, a small city nearly a thousand miles southwest of Buenos Aires, for the 3-hour drive to the Lodge. As we neared it, he warned me that the lady, Claudia, who ran it was of a “very particular” type. When I asked what that meant, he said “you will see soon enough.” On our arrival, Claudia emerged from the lodge to greet us clad in severely abbreviated cutoff jeans and a bikini top. She was older than her outfit implied. Her hair was piled on top of her head and it and the rest of her body were adorned with a variety of spangley enhancers. Fanne Foxe reincarnate. Looking for her Wilbur Mills? She offered us a beer, then joined us at a small table. I tried hard to focus on our conversation. She said that her parents had immigrated to Argentina from Egypt and Italy, respectively, but she was unclear about how she had ended up managing this remote mountain retreat. She added that she loved performing Turkish harem dances, accompanied by a tom-tom drum, that she played.

the river bank for a while. The rough trip was probably about five miles and took over an hour. The good news is that we had the lovely river to ourselves. The bad news is that the famous Patagonian wind blew hard all day, making both casting and fish sighting a challenge. I caught only a few decent fish, but thoroughly enjoyed myself, as I do on any bright day when I’m fishing a new river, surrounded by beautiful scenery. The remaining days I fished the Rio Pico, and a small lake, with the same experience as to roads, wind, solitude and scenery, but with more fishing success.

The first morning we left for the Las Pampas River, a tributary of the Rio Pico, right after breakfast. Much of the road was really just a trail. We drove across five or six streams ranging from 10 to 40 feet wide, passed through about 10 gates, each of which had to be opened and closed, and ultimately drove along a stream bed and

The only other person staying at the lodge was Guido, a Belgian angler who had fished for trout around the world and was finishing up his annual month-long trip to Argentina. Surprisingly, the prior week he had stayed in cabins owned by very close friends of mine in a village about 400 miles north of Rio Pico. Small world. On the last night of our stay, after dinner, Guido and I were celebrating our fishing by polishing off our second bottle of wine, when we heard a subtle, exotic drum beat and looked over to see an apparition enter the room enshrouded head to toe in a green sateen cape-like garment. As the drumbeat quickened, the garment dropped, and Claudia emerged in a costume that looked like something that would be worn by the attendants in Caligula’s bath, or by Miley Cyrus in a twerking contest. After undulating to the frenetic drumbeat of several songs from the Great American Pole-dancing Songbook, Claudia slithered out of the room as subtly as she had entered, not to be seen again, despite the intense clapping and vocal encouragement from Guido and me for a well-deserved curtain call.

KESWICK LIFE

The next morning at breakfast, Claudia served us pleasantly and professionally, with no acknowledgement of the prior evening’s entertainment, leaving me to wonder, as did Yeats, “How can we know the dancer from the dance.” After breakfast, we said our goodbyes and I left with Federico for a two-hour drive to a lodge on the Estancia Tecka - one of the largest ranches in Argentina - comprising about 450,000 acres. To give an idea of Tecka’s immense size, there are two lodges on the property, and it takes nearly an hour to drive between them. The Estancia is a working ranch, raising cattle and sheep (for wool), and has private control of over 30 miles each of two beautiful and superb trout streams – the Tecka, a spring creek about 20-30 feet wide, and the Corcovado, a large river that is floated. There are also two small lakes and a few brooks that can provide good fishing in the early season when they have sufficient water. At Tecka, I was joining a group of seven anglers who frequently travel together to fish. I am always happy to fish alone, but when I am traveling I enjoy the conviviality of a group at breakfast and, particularly, dinner. So, I was looking forward to a week at Tecka. I arrived about noon, several hours before the rest of the group, and Federico took me for a float on the Corcovado. The wind was blowing a gale upstream, forming large whitecaps. As a result, he could not row downstream, despite the River’s strong current, and for the first time in my life I was in a wind-borne rowboat traveling upstream. Also, I had to cast upstream because of the wind. The fly, being flat on the water, was not much affected by the wind, so after landing it floated downstream, and toward me – a most unusual experience. Controlling the boat was very difficult for the guide, and after about an hour with no fish, and several nasty wind-knots in my line that required attention, I mercifully suggested that we return to the Lodge for a drink. For the next six days the wind blew hard continually, but never like that first day. The next morning, I again went with my guide to fish the Corcovado. On the way, a flock of six rheas ran ahead of our vehicle for several hundred yards. The rhea is the Patagonian version of the ostrich, about two feet shorter and less bulky than its African cousin, but impressive nonetheless. And very fast. A few minutes later, a group of guanacos appeared on a ridge near the road. The guanaco is one of the four camelids native to South America, the others being llamas, alpacas and vicunas. Rheas and guanacos were common sights on the Estancia. They live in relative safety, as the only large predator in Patagonia is the puma (mountain lion), which is rare and reclusive. I have never seen one, nor have most of the Argentines who I have met when fishing. When we arrived at the boat, I was surprised to see it occupied by a mink, that scurried into the water when it saw us.

The mink is not a native animal. About 15 years ago a local entrepreneur decided to farm them, and he imported several thousand animals from North America. There was an accident, and the mink escaped into the local environment. Though their population hasn’t exploded as much as feared, they are occasionally seen along the rivers in the Estancia. The only native animal living along the river banks is the coypu, which we call a “nutria.” This animal looks like a small beaver with a rat’s tail, or perhaps like a giant rat, typically weighing 15-20 pounds. It was imported into North America by fur farmers. Some escaped into the wild, proliferated, and are now considered a nuisance as their appetites for plants are voracious, and they destroy them by eating their stems and roots. I have seen them a few times along the river banks in both Patagonia and the U.S., but more often have been startled by the sound of a huge splash as they slide into the water, which I invariably imagine to be a monster fish until reality returns. Despite the relentless wind, the fishing was fine. In four days on the Corcovado I caught about a dozen nice fish a day from 16-22”. The Tecka was more challenging, yielding perhaps half of that number. Surprisingly, there are bigger fish in the Tecka than the Corcovado. I saw a few that were at least 24” and one guest caught one that was 28”. About 75% of the fish were rainbow trout, with the others being brown trout. The breakfasts and dinners at the Lodge were excellent, as were the lunches on the rivers. Argentina is known for its fine beef, but we mostly had other meats and the superb local sausage, accompanied by excellent red wines. Malbec continues to be the most popular grape in Argentina, but cabernet franc, merlot, pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon are also grown, and produce excellent wines. Even good white wines – torrontes, sauvignon blancs and chardonnays – are available. And the variety and quality of beer has improved considerably over the past two decades.

Photos, opposite page: Charlie and with a nice rainbow trout and 'Meeting the Owner'. This page: The Gaucho Rotisserie, next the hostess and lastly, the guanacos – a camelid native to South America. Their name comes from the South American Quechua word huanaco. Young guanacos are called chulengos.

A highlight of any fishing week in Argentina is the asado, or barbecue. Often prepared by gauchos – the traditional cowboys who live and work on the estancias. At Las Lomas, a baby goat was splayed and slow-cooked over an open fire. It was incredible - both flavorful and tender the best goat by far that I have ever eaten. At Tecka, we all met for an asado at lunch along the river. There were sausages, vegetables and a filet cooked on a spit. But the amazing thing, is that the spit was turned by hydraulic power. A water wheel sat in the river, turned slowly by the current, and the spindle protruding from the wheel held and rotated the filet over a flame. A Rube Goldberg contraption that produced a memorable meal. Argentina is a lovely country, full of surprises, and the people are warm and welcoming. Don’t take my word for it. Just ask Wilbur Mills.

ONLY IN KESWICK To Wear Tights Or Not

How times have changed. Back when I

was growing up, women wore skirts and dresses, wearing shorts was considered daring, not for the faint-hearted. But now everyone, even women with hips as wide as a Good Humor truck, wears tights. Everywhere there’s a parade of butts and crotches, everyone seemingly oblivious to the fact that their anatomical details are on full display. Me, though I don’t get it, I recently joined the crowd, buying my own pair of black sausage casings to wear to Pilates. When I put them on and headed out the door, my wife said, “You can’t go out in those.” “Why not?” “Because.” “Because what?” “Because I can see your package,” she said, pointing you-know-where. “Look,” I said, “the whole female population of this country is sauntering around with their packages showing, I don’t see why I can’t.” “It’s different,” she offered. I was about to say, “A package is a package,” but I realized we were headed into no-mans-land, so I just said, “See you later,” and headed off to Pilates.

BY TONY VANDERWARKER Needless to say, none of the women blinked when Tony walked in. Usually I’m the only male so it’s seven to one, and though I never paid much attention to it, I didn’t ever see one female checking out my package. So I’ve joined the tights-wearing crowd. I even have a couple pairs of form-fitting, stretchy-fabric yoga shorts that I wear in the warmer times of the year. So I’m good with tights. After Pilates, I’ll even wear them into Trader Joe’s or the Giant, I mean, c’mon. But not my wife. She gives me a slightlyhorrified look every time I head out the door. But times are changing. Recently, she even went and bought herself a pair of tights. “Hey, you look good in those,” I told her. “Thanks, but they’re just for in the house, I’m not wearing them outside.” “Why not?” “Because I’m too old.” “What? Is there a tag in them saying ‘Not to be worn by women over 65?’” “No, it’s just a feeling I have. It’s just not proper.” “Well, it’s proper for the rest of the world,

EQUESTRIAN ESTATE ON 144 ACRES IN SOMERSET - REDUCED

I don’t see why it’s not proper for you.” “Because.” She said, slamming the door on the conversation. So though I’m far from being a Millennial, I feel kind of hip in my Pilates class, wearing my tights with the seven thirtysomethings wearing theirs. Like I’ve broken the tights barrier. But I wonder what our kids will say when they see them. Will I get wrinkledup noses and smirks of distaste along with remarks like, “Dad, you’re not wearing those?” I’ve already figured out my response, “Yup, I am, just like speed skaters and gymnasts in the Olympics— or pro football players--why am I any different?” I can imagine rolls of the eyes and slowlywagging heads in response. Then I plan to say, “Your mother even has a pair.” To which I’ll inevitably get looks of shock like they just stuck their finger in a light socket.

shame. Make it so mainstream, tightwearing will even work for casual Fridays. You’ll see news anchors wearing them, on camera in skin hugging tights, packages on display for the world to see. Now maybe politicians will draw the line at wearing tights, I mean, I don’t think you’d want to see them on the President or Mitch McConnell. Egads! Certainly not particularly appealing images and probably not appropriate for either the Capitol or White House. You don’t see anyone even wearing shorts in those places. They probably don’t belong in churches or courtrooms either, Justice Sotomayor or Franklin Graham shouldn’t get caught dead wearing them, I’ll give you that. But anyplace else on anyone else, it will be wide open. So jump into your tights, men, and head for the barricades. The fight for tightwearing freedom has just begun!

Maybe I need to start a movement, “Men can wear tights, too!” the whole nine yards, buttons, placards, get Under Armour or lululemon to sponsor it, bring men’s tight-wearing out into the open, rid tight-wearing of the opprobrium and

NEH Awards Monticello Two New Grants ADPATED BY WINKIE MOTLEY

On Monday, April 9th the National En-

dowment for the Humanities awarded Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello two major grants, making possible greater accessibility to new archaeological research and a landmark exhibition on the legacy of slavery. Over the last 30 years, Monticello has received more than a dozen highly competitive, peer-reviewed grants from the NEH, totaling more than $4 million. These grants have supported a range of programs, including archaeology, exhibitions at the David M. Rubenstein Visitor Center, lectures, publications and the restoration of Mulberry Row – the dynamic, industrial hub of the Monticello plantation. These two new grants – combined with a $375,000 NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grant announced in December – total nearly $1 million in NEH awards to Monticello within the last year. A $300,000 NEH Public Humanities Project: Exhibitions grant will enable Monticello to update the landmark exhibition Slavery at Jefferson’s Monticello: Paradox of Liberty with new content—including a feature on Sally Hemings—and launch a new national tour to four museums, beginning at the African American Museum of Dallas in September. A “pop-up” version of the exhibition, with special focus on descendant perspectives and journeys, will also travel to libraries and schools. Collectively, the exhibitions are expected to be on view in over 40 locations.

Slavery at Jefferson’s Monticello uses

Jefferson’s home and plantation as a lens to explore the paradox of slavery in an age of freedom, and the lives of the enslaved families and their descendants. A second tour of this popular exhibition was inspired both by the availability of new content and by the imperative in the current national moment to discuss how the legacy of slavery continues to shape our nation. The original exhibition, co-curated by Monticello and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, opened in January 2012 at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American

Entrance to Slavery at Jefferson's Monticello: Paradox of Liberty exhibition which opened in 2012. History. Described as “Groundbreaking” by the Washington Post, it was seen by more than one million visitors in Washington, D.C., Atlanta, St. Louis and Philadelphia.“During a period of deep divide, with issues of race and equality dominating American headlines, the return of this exhibition could not be more timely,” said Leslie Greene Bowman, president and CEO of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation at Monticello. “NEH grants help Monticello advance research in our field and bring history forward into national dialogues of consequence.” A $315,000 NEH Humanities Collections and Reference Resources grant was also awarded to the Digital Archaeological Archive of Comparative Slavery at Monticello, known as DAACS, to identify, catalog, digitize and make accessible to diverse stakeholders collections from four of the earliest and most significant 17th-century archaeological sites. The sites are located at Flowerdew Hundred, a thousand-acre plantation on the south side of the James River in Virginia.

To date, DAACS staff and collaborators have systematically cataloged and digitized complete archaeological collections from over 80 excavated sites of slavery in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica, Montserrat, Nevis, and St. Kitts. The grant, entitled The Origins of a Slave Society: Digitizing Flowerdew Hundred will allow scholars, students, descendant communities and the general public access to Flowerdew data and collections via the DAACS website. The grant will also fund internships for students at the University of Virginia from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in archaeology, anthropology and museum careers. “The Flowerdew Hundred collections have enormous potential to help students and scholars unravel how indentured Europeans, neighboring Weanock Indians, elite European landowners and enslaved Africans negotiated and adapted to the colonial Chesapeake’s changing natural, social

and economic environments,” said Dr. Elizabeth Bollwerk, senior archaeological analyst for DAACS and Co-Director of Digitizing Flowerdew Hundred. “We are delighted to have the opportunity to make collections accessible to the public for the first time.”“In addition to making archaeological data accessible, the Flowerdew Hundred grant facilitates new opportunities for students of historical archaeology and groundbreaking collaboration between Monticello, the University of Virginia’s Special Collections Library and the Florida Museum of Natural History’s Environmental Archaeology program,” noted Dr. Jillian Galle, project director for DAACS and co-director of the grant. Including the two grants awarded to Monticello, the NEH announced today a total of $18.6 million in grants to 199 humanities projects nationwide.

Longer Days, Better Reads BY SUZANNE NASH

Well I think Spring is here…finally, and

I am back from my ramblings in Ireland and London with several books I crammed in my bags that I want to share with you in preparation for summer reading. Next month you get the full summer reading list so get ready! If you can stand to read about A Midwinter Break then you might enjoy this tale from Bernard MacLaverty. Midwinter is the bleak time of year when we all long for escape to something new and Gerry and Stella Gilmore are setting off from their home in Glasgow Scotland for a week exploring Amsterdam. Gerry doesn’t know it but Stella has decided to tell Gerry she is leaving him to try and live a more contemplative life. Originally from Belfast the reader discovers the traumas the couple have endured… leading to Gerry’s drinking and Stella’s need for something more. It is a sad look at how lives unravel and how hard it is to keep partnerships together but that if love exists underneath it there is always hope. This is honest writing that has a subtlety I find beautiful. Ordinary mo-

ments are made extraordinary in their tender wistfulness. What She Saw is a new thriller by Irish writer Gerard Stembridge and it kept me company when I was stuck in an airport for nine hours. It says something that I read the entire thing in one sitting! American, Lana Turner Gibson is going through a manic episode when she decides to leave her husband on holiday in Dublin and fly to Paris on a whim to see a Hopper art exhibit. Due to the fact that she isn’t taking her meds as she should she ends up getting herself in trouble and seeing something she shouldn’t. What follows is a mad race through the streets of Paris to try and find her stolen passport and plane tickets. Sex, drugs and politics all play a part in this novel and if you pick up the paperback take a look at the authors notes at the end. They are worth the read! Ruth Ware is well known for her thrillers and The Lying Game: A Novel is another one of her blockbusters that was published last summer. When the sickness

of her mother causes Isa Wilde to attend Salten House School, she meets and becomes friends with Kate Atagon, Fatima Qureshy and Thea West. This English boarding school, set among the beaches and tidal areas of The Reach, becomes the setting for their game which has the power to touch them even after they have been forced to leave the school. Their reunion, years later, uncovers their darkest fears and secrets. A body has been discovered and the girls know whose body it is …or was! All of them have something to lose if the truth comes out. It’s a great little thriller! John Connolly is an Irish writer who normally writes crime drama and mysteries, but he has departed from his usual genre to write The Book of Lost Things which is more of a dark fantasy novel which uses some of the fairy tales you may have grown up with but with rather a grim (no pun intended) twist. His protagonist is a young twelve-year-old boy living in World War II London who is named David. David is trying to cope with the death of his mother. When his father

becomes involved in a new relationship David starts to have episodes where he sees visions of a strange world where a Crooked Man wields power and wolf like men attack humans. The characters of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty are all woven into the novel in unexpected ways and while the characters are from fairy tales the subject isn’t childlike at all. This is a clever coming of age novel that takes a boy and shows how he learns to become a caring and responsible person through his struggles and trials. What makes a family? What are you willing to sacrifice to have your desires rule supreme? These are just a few of the books I discovered on my trip but just wait….next month I will give you a longer Summer reading list to get you started on your poolside pile of reading materials! Try and enjoy the beautiful spring flowers and get yourself prepped for summer weather…it is right around the corner.
