With the unfortunate passing of her father, Amelie becomes a poor orphan. In search of a new life, she moves to London from Paris, where she meets a group of wealthy friends/employers who embrace her friendship and take her under their wings. There are a couple of neat little twists here, but most of this is confined to the first half of the story. Understanding what’s happened to Amelie and why is really the driving force for you to keep reading but once the past catches up to the present, there’s not much else to cling to.

Who are they?

Carol Clark’s acclaimed translation of The Prisoner introduces a new generation of American readers to the literary riches of Marcel Proust . The fifth volume in Penguin Classics’ superb new edition of In Search of Lost Time–the first completely new translation of Proust’s masterpiece since the 1920s–brings us a more comic and lucid prose than readers of English have previously been able to enjoy. This was a solid 3-4 stars until the wheels fell off at the end, when the reader is subjected to a confession monologue and a very long-winded explanation of who, what, where, and why. My eyes started to glaze over until they popped open at the mention of a name and I had no idea who this person was, even though they were pivotal to the reveal. Hmm….I had both the audio & e-book copy of the book and I almost did a kindle search for the name but couldn’t muster enough interest to bother with it.

In 1987, Jools Holland (a noted fan of the show) fronted a spoof documentary made by Channel 4 in the UK, entitled The Laughing Prisoner No 7, which also starred Stephen Fry, Terence Alexander and Hugh Laurie. The show mixed archive footage with musical numbers, and was mainly filmed in Portmeirion.If it hadn’t been for Carolyn, I wouldn’t have had any misgivings at all. She would be hurt that I’d kept a supposed relationship with Ned from her. It bothered me that I couldn’t tell her the truth. But if I did, she’d be angry that I’d married him for money. Except that I hadn’t, not really, because I’d given him something in return, a way out of what to him was an impossible situation. Fairclough, Robert, ed. (1 February 2006).

The short chapters and alternating timeline kept the pace of this novel clipping along and the narrator of the audiobook was great. I also liked the spunk and bravery displayed by Amelie as the story progressed.

Child, Ben (12 February 2009). "Nolan signs to take Inception from script to screen". The Guardian. London. I thought Paris' book the Dilemma was implausible...and it is. However, this one took the word 'implausible' to a whole new level. This is the sort of book that not only requires a suspension of disbelief, but a complete willingness to forego logic ENTIRELY...and a willingness to be okay with the fact that about 75% of it doesn't really make any sense.

Admittedly, I don’t enjoy captivity stories. Then, some months later, I was in a comic shop in midtown Manhattan and came across a book which listed and rated books which were tie-ins to films and television series.
