How can we rely on bodies as fragile as the fruits that nourish them? Lebo's unquenchable curiosity leads us to intimate, sensuous, enlightening contemplations. The Book of Difficult Fruit is the very best of food writing: graceful, surprising, and ecstatic. The entries are associative, often poetic, taking unexpected turns and giving sideways insights into life, relationships, self-care, modern medicine and more. In this work of unique invention, these and other difficult fruits serve as the central ingredients of twenty-six lyrical essays (and recipes!) that range from deeply personal to botanical, from culinary to medical, from humorous to philosophical. Q is for Quince, which, fresh, gives off the scent of 'roses and citrus and rich women's perfume' but if eaten raw is so astringent it wicks the juice from one's mouth. M is for Medlar, name-checked by Shakespeare for its crude shape, beloved by gardeners for its flowers. D is for Durian, endowed with a dramatic rind and a shifty odour - peaches, old garlic. ![]() Inspired by twenty-six fruits, essayist, poet and pie lady Kate Lebo expertly blends the culinary, medical and personal.Ī is for Aronia, berry member of the apple family, clothes-stainer, superfruit with reputed healing power. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout, McEwan poignantly shows how the characters contend with major historical moments while dealing with the ravages of daily life, which is what makes this so affecting. ![]() Alissa then publishes a bestselling (and specious) memoir, which isn’t so nice on Roland.

He marries Alissa and has a son, Lawrence, but Alissa disappears when Lawrence is an infant. He grows into a distant underachiever, eventually finding work as a lounge pianist in London and, occasionally, as a journalist. A sexual relationship ensues, and Roland never recovers from the experience. Protagonist Roland Baines, “another inky boy in a boarding school,” is 11 when his piano teacher, Miriam Cornell, begins to groom him for abuse. McEwan returns with his best work since the NBCC-winning Atonement, a sprawling narrative that stretches from the commencement of the Cold War to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hume spent much time in Little Bourke Street to gather material and his first effort was The Mystery of a Hansom Cab (1886), a worthy contibution to the genre. ![]() Emile Gaboriau's detective works were very popular and so Hume bought them all and studied them intently, thus turning his pen to writing his own style of crime novel and mystery.
