The story flits, like a summer firefly, from one character to another, giving the reader access to their inner monologue and private preoccupations. The first section of the book is set on a single, stiflingly hot, summer’s day in 1935. The real genius that McEwan demonstrates is his ability to vary the pace and tenor of his writing to suit the events or feelings he describes. ![]() Suffice to say the action takes place in the middle of the last century and concentrates on the troubled Tallis family - Leon, Cecilia and Briony - and their housekeeper’s son Robbie. Just in case anyone else has, like me, managed to hitherto avoid its charms I won’t spoil the story. I can understand why it occupies such a prime spot in McEwan’s oeuvre. All that changed this week and I’m very glad that it did. ![]() ![]() ![]() Was this the same house that Jesus and his disciples used to celebrate the Passover just before his arrest and crucifixion? There is no way to know that with any certainty. It could be that he had died or that he was not a believer but allowed his wife to use the home as a place for the early church to gather. Many people had gathered in this home to pray for Peter’s deliverance. After Peter’s deliverance from prison by an angel, he went to the home of Mary, who was the mother of John, also called Mark. The first mention of Mark is in Acts 12:12. When Is Mark First Mentioned in the Bible? He even grew up to write one of the most famous books ever written. ![]() You might think of Mark as a kid growing up in the youth group who eventually becomes a leader with the church. We also see the confidence those like Paul eventually come to have in him. But we also see him rising above that failure. The little details that the Bible gives us include some failures in Mark’s life. His home and family are at the center of the new movement formed around the resurrected Jesus. The New Testament doesn't say much about him, but what little we have shows a young man growing up in the new church. Mark is a somewhat unique character in the Bible. ![]() ![]() Neither Isadora nor Ian expected to find the other so intriguing, but when a chain of mysterious incidents on the farm point to a larger threat, they'll have to set aside everything they thought they wanted for a chance at happy-ever-after.

The book’s objective, the hunt for a valuable treasure, became his means to this end. It became the inspiration for a genre of books known today as armchair treasure hunts.Ĭhallenged by Tom Maschler, of the British publishing firm Jonathan Cape, to “do something no one has ever done before” with a children’s book, Williams set out in the 1970s to create a book of paintings that readers would study carefully rather than flip through and discard. Masquerade is a children’s book, written and illustrated by Kit Williams, which sparked a treasure hunt by concealing clues to the location of a jewelled golden hare, created and hidden somewhere in Britain by Williams.
