REVIEW THE BOOK "UNDERSTANDING DEATH"
Author Sherwin B. Nuland wrote "Understanding Death" to lift the veil of mystery surrounding the dying process, but the purpose was not to depict the horrific scenes of painful and gruesome decline in health, but rather to present it from a realistic biological and clinical perspective, exactly as those who have witnessed and experienced it see and feel.

DEMON SLAYER: THE FLOWER OF HAPPINESS – THE FLOWER OF LOVE.
Considerable as a spin-off, the novel Demon Slayer: The Flower of Happiness "addresses untold stories between parts of the main storyline." Indeed, true to its name, the work is like a "Flower of Happiness" that author Koyoharu Gotouge and writer Aya Yajima send to readers, after so much suffering, sacrifice, and loss on the bloody and tearful journey of the young Kamado Tanjiro.

The Library of Unwritten Thoughts
In a city where every citizen wrote books, one library stood apart. Its shelves were filled with blank volumes. When readers opened them, their minds flooded with thoughts they had never dared express. Some cried. Some laughed. Some left terrified. The librarian explained that unwritten thoughts were the most powerful—they were living, waiting, choosing. When readers closed the books, the pages remained blank, but they walked away carrying entire worlds inside them.

Rachel Reviews: Gabriel's Moon by William Boyd
You may not know this but William Boyd is one of my favourite writers. I have never picked up a Boyd book and been disappointed. I think this is because he is an excellent storyteller and for me, that is the singular most important thing about a novel. It needs to transport me, immerse me, make me believe and it needs to be done with the smoothness of royal icing: devoid of bumps and marks and with a shiny glaze and a sweet taste.

More than the war crimes that have appeared in historical documents, The Devil of Nanjing does not simply recount the barbaric acts that the Japanese committed during the war in China in the forties of the previous decade.
