When her character fell pregnant, coincidently it was around the same time that she found out that she was pregnant. We don’t have everything in common but I could say that the growth has been there in both our characters.” “I was so tiny in season 1 and I was naïve as Hlomu then and now two years later, she’s a grown woman who is a mother and I am mother too. We watched Hlomu get beaten, raped and witnessed her lose her first pregnancy due to the abuse. When it was good, it was great and when things got bad, they would turn really ugly. Mqhele and Hlomu’s relationship was filled with turmoil. I had to ask myself how do you fall in love with a man who hasn’t healed from his trauma or how do you run a household that’s filled with so many men?” Playing her was life-changing for me, I looked at her and saw what I didn’t want for myself. If Mqhele makes me happy, I want them to feel it as well. I made sure that I made every South African woman feel whatever I was feeling. “It was very difficult at first, but it ended up beautiful. She felt the need to fully to portray Hlomu as millions of women in South Africa related to her story and some lived her reality. Everything that was happening in my life that time and how I was meant to play Hlomu connected very well.” It was a beautiful experience it was a spiritual journey.

A born recluse, he despises parties and pomp, is uneasy around other writers - he dislikes 'vain' Martin Amis in particular - and shuns fame even more than he craves attention. He is demanding beyond belief.'įowles is hard work. Sarah, who handles him in the manner of some public school matron, says wearily: 'I do adore him, but it is very difficult. This is, I realise, by far the best way of dealing with Fowles, as a supremely gifted but slightly naughty schoolboy. 'Can I say that?' She shrugs indulgently: 'You do what you fucking like.' Sheepish, he grins. He is her 'sick pig' Fowles calls her Rats: 'She of the Ravishing Auburn Tresses.'įowles is constantly tripping off at bizarre tangents, zooming from his father's 'ghastly' attempt at a novel to his love of France, a recurrent theme: 'I think in French, you know.'

I didn’t know what to expect from Promise by Minrose Gwin but what I got was one of the best reads of this year. “If you watch movies and TV, you would think they don’t exist, but studies have actually shown that they’re among the most involved groups in their kids’ lives.”Ĭherry, a former NFL wide receiver, turned to directing (“The Last Fall,” “9 Rides”) after he left football, but this is his first animated project. “It felt like a great opportunity to really shine the spotlight on black fathers, because so often in mainstream media they just get a bad rap,” he adds.

In “Hair Love,” a young girl named Zuri wakes up one morning and attempts to style her hair in a way befitting the special occasion she excitedly prepares to attend. The Long Way Home finds Chief Inspector Gamache now retired in Three Pines hoping to relax and recover from the horrors he experienced (yes you must read the earlier novels to truly understand the context). So I blissfully delved into The Long Way Home, the 10th in her series. I eagerly await each and every one of her novels. The characters have depth, humor and pathos and the plots are often intricately complex and psychological. The series largely focuses in and around the picturesque Canadian village of Three Pines, filled with idiosyncratic inhabitants - but these are no typical “cozy” mysteries. Louise Penny is a former CBC journalist and her well-honed story telling craft makes each of her novels a gem. These (as with Deborah Crombie) shall and should be read in sequence ( Still Life is the first). Here I am again, recommending another intelligent and well-written mystery series. : 215 Clip Studio Paint was used to create the artwork, and the work intended to have inspiration from American artwork and Japanese artwork.
