I’ll admit that A Room with a View remains my favourite book by E. I’ve had this book on my TBR for a while and I read it over a couple of sunny days in June which was the perfect weather for reading a Forster novel. As the Schlegel sisters try desperately to help the Basts and educate the close-minded Wilcoxes, the families are drawn together in love, lies and death. Summary: ‘Only connect’ is the idea at the heart of this book, a heartbreaking and provocative tale of three families at the beginning of the twentieth century: the rich Wilcoxes, the gentle, idealistic Schlegels, and the lower-middle-class Basts.

Set in ancient Rome before the rise of Julius Caesar, these are not your usual cozy reads. With Steven Saylor's mysteries, we have that Roman behind the door. I heard an echo of her words many years later when I read THE FAR ARENA, in which the protagonist wished earnestly to be able to turn a doorknob in time and find the Roman behind the door. It was her hope, as she said, not only to teach us this beautiful language but to be able to bring to life for us the people who formed the vibrant culture that was Rome's. My high school Latin teacher - Sister Ethelreda, are you out there in cyberspace? - enthralled her class for four years with her tales of ancient Rome, from culinary trivia to the deeds of the noble generals and the great Roman patriots.

(The concepts of wasting time and losing control are almost the primary antagonists in this story.) Several of our natural fears are preyed upon – flying, being alone, creatures with scary teeth – but there's a great second level of terror being worked into the story: the fear of losing (or wasting) time. It's a great idea, with the execution both grounded and terrifying. Somehow, the plane flew through a rift, and the characters who survived the flight are trapped in that fragment of the past, waiting for the inevitable to happen. Then, the Langoliers appear: terrifying creatures that eat lost time, swallow up the past. The survivors hear static, in the distance some crackling that they can't explain. There's something wrong with the air, and with all food and water: everything is stale and tasteless. There's nobody in the terminal, nobody else anywhere. They land the plane – one of the surviving passengers is a pilot – and step out into the airport to discover that they're totally alone. Everybody else on the flight has disappeared, leaving the plane without a crew. The main characters are all asleep on American Pride Flight 29, a red-eye flight across America.

McCollum’s romance ably balances a suspenseful game of political chicken, the possibility of civil war, and skyrocketing sexual tension between Gideon and Cait. Cait and Gideon work together to organize the Christmas Hogmanay fest and deal with their past traumas, and all seems well, but sinister forces are plotting a dangerous political takeover. And as Cait begins to fall for Gideon, she heals from her previous abusive marriage.
