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 ARCHIVE OF LAST HEARTBEATS
THE QUIET KEEPERS The Archive was nothing like the world imagined it. To the public, the Archive of Last Heartbeats was little more than a poetic name—one of those solemn institutions tucked behind a government ministry, spoken of only when necessary. Newspapers mentioned it rarely, and when they did, they used phrases like “ethical custodianship,” “end-of-life biometric preservation,” or “the Department of Terminal Records.”

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.

Rachel Reviews: Nearness of the Wild by Hilary Scharper
There was much to recommend this book to me before I even started it as, if there is one thing I love, it's a lighthouse so "The Lighthouse Chronicles" was bound to tempt. However, the book is actually mainly set in a nursing home rather than a lighthouse, but we are transported to many other places throughout the book through reminiscences and memoirs.

Rachel Reviews: No Sanctuary by Graeme Chambers
I really enjoyed Graeme Chambers' murder mystery book from start to finish. We follow Max Dempsey who has moved to Provence, France with his teenage son, Luke for two reasons: the first because he loves the place and it holds warm memories for him; the second because he is escaping another life, one where he lost his wife and Luke's mother in a tragic accident and he is hoping that a new setting and a completely different lifestyle will help both him and Luke to heal.

REVIEW BOOK "THE DEVIL OF NANJING – THE HORRIFIC HORRIBLE OF CRIME"
The wounds of war have always been a topic that makes any reader feel pained with indescribable emotions. 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.
