* Clear Water – fabulous book! A young man whose ADHD has lasted into adulthood finds refuge on a barge with two science-geeks who are trying to work out why the river is spawning mutant toads.

Here are some of my personal recommendations: And a hope that he’ll finally hear the church bells that will unite everybody-including the lovers who hid the best and most sacred parts of their hearts.Īmy Lane is solidly on my auto-buy list, although The Bells of Times Square isn’t one I’m likely to re-read lots to be honest. But nothing in war is permanent, and now all Nate has is memories of a man his family never knew existed. Long before, in a peace carefully crafted in the heart of wartime tumult, Nate and Walter forged a loving home in the midst of violence and chaos. As they endure the chilly death of the old year, Nate is drawn back in memory to a much earlier time.

When Blaine introduces his boyfriend to his beloved grandfather, he has no idea that Nate holds a similar secret. This year, however, his grandson Blaine is pushing Nate through the Manhattan streets, revealing his secrets to his silent, stroke-stricken grandfather. Every New Year’s Eve since 1946, Nate Meyer has ventured alone to Times Square to listen for the ghostly church bells he and his long-lost wartime lover vowed to hear together.
