![]() It certainly is for Patrick, and Dawson and Styles go for it with no holding back in a bedroom scene that leaves little to the imagination. It is a continuing game of deception even as Marion gets increasingly frustrated, perhaps suspecting something but trying to win the kind of lover in Tom that just isn’t there. With homosexuality illegal at the time, Patrick also has to watch himself, but one day alone with Tom makes a move that leads to a very physical and steamy clandestine affair that both keep secret from Marion. Eventually though, in the most proper of ways, Tom and Marion get married, not a loveless union but not a passionate one and one where Marion can’t seem to hold back her jealousy of the “friendship” between Tom and Patrick. ![]() Plotwise, Harry Styles in his second film of the festival season after last week’s Venice debut of Don’t Worry Darling, plays British policeman Tom, who is befriended by lively museum curator Patrick ( David Dawson), as well as a shier school teacher Marion ( Emma Corrin, also in a second fest movie this week after the debut of Lady Chatterley’s Lover) who because of the times must contain her own growing sexual attraction to Tom. ![]()

He persuades his best friend, Lacey Rawlins, to accompany him. It was good that God kept the truths of life from the young as they were starting out or else they’d have no heart to start at all. His decision is reckless and spontaneous in a way that level-headed and practical John Grady is normally not. He chooses to ride for the next wild frontier: Mexico.

Fenn doesn't have as big a part in this book than in the later two books, but he is still an essential character. I loved the two characters Sonny and the Fennrys Wolf. It has a very original plot, although it did have its fair share of the usual corniness since the main character Kelley is the daughter of 2 faery monarchs. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this rather "fresh" story about faeries. Like many stories about those peculiar creatures that do not have the ability to lie, this story has been heavily influenced by Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream. This book is about faeries, a topic that has been speculated, discussed, and written countless times. ![]() Can you think of anything that is such a mix of wonder and strangeness that the two components cannot be distinguished? In this book, both faeries and love are "wondrous strange".

Maybe I’d seen Lizzo playing her flute and wondered what might have been if I’d stuck with it. Maybe I’d read an article about aging and how mastering new skills can help you feel young. I can’t remember exactly why I decided to restart my lessons after all that time. Didn’t touch a keyboard again for 30 years. That would leave me no time for sports or any of my other extracurriculars. In high school, I realized that if I wanted to keep getting better at the piano, I’d need to practice at least an hour a day. Over the years I progressed from “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” to “Für Elise” and “Moonlight Sonata.” Starting when I was seven years old, once a week, instead of walking home from school, I’d walk around the block to my teacher’s house, where for half an hour I’d dutifully practice my scales and play whatever piece I’d been working on. ![]() When I was a kid growing up in the suburbs in the 1970s, my first encounters with a piano were fairly typical.
