The final herbal detox tea on this list is called Hawthorn berry tea.
Green tea is made from an unfermented tea leaf from a mature plant.
The string needs to be long enough to secure the bag and to be tied to the saucepan
handle to reach the bottom of the pan.

Sorry to know that you don’t enjoy scary stories much, Heidi. I used to love them when I was younger. These days I read the occasional horror story and enjoy it. Glad to know that you liked the review.

It was fun to read your review Vishy. I cannot seem to enjoy scary stories! Even reading the review was a stretch for me. Still it was a pleasure to read the quotes that you included and also your thoughts about the stories.

[…] Vishy’s Blog has a wonderful review of Clare Morrall’s novel The Language of Others. I really enjoyed her first novel Astonishing Splashes of Colour which was shortlisted for the 2003 Booker Prize. Unfortunately The Language of Others is not yet available in the US but I see I can get her novel Natural Flights of the Human Mind is available. Natural Flights is about Peter Straker, a man who lives on the coast of England alone with no neighbors talking to no one except the 78 people he was responsible for killing almost twenty-five years ago.

I found Morrall really good at getting inside people’s heads and then translating that to the reader. […]

I don’t think it has been translated. It’s by an African author, Emmanuel B Dongala and is called Jazz et vin de palme. He describes John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme. I don’t really like that Coltrane piece but the way he described it was stunning.

Thanks for sharing Walcott’s poem, Claire. I just read it. It is very beautiful. I can understand why it spoke to your two friends. I liked very much your interpretation of the poem – it is very beautiful.

This is a beautiful and sad book, Heidi. Saffie is one of the most mysterious, enigmatic and beautiful heroines that I have encountered in a novel. Hope you get to read this book and like it. I will look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.
