The Driftway (Puffin Books)

Product Information

Sullen adolescent Paul, and his seven-year old sister Sandra, are having quite the day. Accused of shoplifting, they go on the lam, and decide to quit their home with their widowed father and his new wife, Christine, for good. It doesn't sound at all as if Christine is the evil stepmother you might mistake her for, given Paul's unfettered hatred of her. But regardless, Paul isn't playing ball. And when one thing leads to another, he decides that they'll go to stay with their Gran, in Cold Higham, also in the Midlands of England, some ten miles away. Contributions should be travel related.

Wiring for 5.2.1 speaker setup with space for two in-ceiling speakers and two wall-mounted rear speakers Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.It’s the same stream, Paul thought, the same stream the boy talked about. He heard it like I can hear it now, and saw that long flat hill just the same as I see it.

Not just battles,' said Bill with a snort. 'Most of us don't get mixed up with battles, do we? Anything. Everything.'

Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things): You see the way the shape of a country’s made the people in it, and you see the way they’ve written themselves all over it, too, people who’re dead and gone now. In the way the fields go, and the roads, and the things they’ve built, and the bits they’ve dug up or cut down or flooded or drained or not been able to find a use for at all.’ Although The Driftway could be described as an uneventful novel, that is also, really, the point: it’s about slowing down enough to start to see the world in all its richness, and so to break out of self-obsessive worries. And for Lively, it’s evident that seeing the world in all its richness includes a deep connection to times past, and the many individual lives that have been lived in every square mile of the land. Penelope Lively is the author of many prize-winning novels and short-story collections for both adults and children. She has twice been shortlisted for the Booker Prize: once in 1977 for her first novel, The Road to Lichfield, and again in 1984 for According to Mark. She later won the 1987 Booker Prize for her highly acclaimed novel Moon Tiger. Lammas Land truly is the perfect summer day out. Take a dip in the pool then dry out in the sun while enjoying a picnic. Why not end the day with a tennis match?Sadly, for me, it was the shadows of the past, the "messages that cut through time like it wasn't there", that didn't hold me. Lively is a very adept author, and she manages the clunkiness of changing POV's and time periods with the required dexterity. But this switching only really works, I feel, if you are fully engrossed in each of those points of view / side stories. And, amazingly, I just wasn't. You think everything's happening just to you, he thought, but it isn't. It's happening to other people too. It sounds obvious when you say it, but it isn't till you think about it. Me and Christine : it's been happening to her too. Only I haven't ever listened to her. CURRENT ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE RATING: C A full copy of the EPC is available at the office if required.

But it’s the sort of thing that Paul, obsessed with his own troubles, has to be forced to slow down to see. Old Bill again: Thomas Mason, Overseer, is saying that he will not take me in, and that if I stay in this Parish I must be whipped as a Vagrant.The pool can be found here: Lammas Land, Newnham Road, Cambridge CB3 9EY.

Perfect for a fun family day out, Lammas Land Pool is destined to be very popular this year so make sure to head down as soon as you can and have a great summer in Cambridge. Soon as you’re ready to believe another bloke might not be exactly what you think he is, you’re halfway to being able to live with him. Or work with him, or whatever it is.’The Driftway, he says, fills that hole. Its first tenants should take up residence in September. The hotel part of the building will begin operating not long afterwards. Like so many other 1970s YA novels, The Drifway combines the supernatural with the very real and ordinary troubles facing children and adolescents. It’s not as intense as Garner’s Red Shift, but The Driftway’s Paul has a hint of that book’s stubborn, self-destructive male adolescent pride, though Lively combines it with the sort of healing process that never made it into Garner’s novel (but which I felt could be found in his follow-up, the four novellas that make up The Stone Book Quartet).
