SUNSET BOULEVARD is a much loved musical based on the 1950’s Billy Wilder film of the same name. It features a score including With One Look, As If We Never Said Goodbye and The Perfect Year. After Sunset: We Need to Talk • After Sunset: The Right Choice? • Beyond the Code: Brightspirit's Mercy • The Elders' Concern • Spottedleaf's Honest Answer • The Clans Decide • Why is Jaypaw Blind? • Tigerstar: Heart of Evil? • The Curtain Falls: Choosing Which Cats Would Die • Unhappily Ever After? Ending the Doomed Romances • The Truth About Midnight • The Death of Bright Stream • The Longest Night • The Disappearing Herbs • A Fear of Fire • The Hidden Prophecy Sunset is an ambitious debut fiction novel by Jessie cave (yes, otherwise known as Lavender Brown for all you potter heads out there!)

It's impressive that this is Cave’s debut as it is such an accomplished novel. Her prose is self-assured, her tone is consistent, and her characterisation is phenomenal. Cave’s depiction of grief and sisterhood is moving and believably messy. This is the first time I'm leaving a review on Goodreads, and I'd love for it to be positive, but I felt the need to chime in with my 2 cents on this book. Sunset Swing may be an ode to the classics of hard-boiled noir, but it has more than enough rhythm of its own to take its place beside them.”Lucas Hodgdon, Age 5 "I think all of the Warrior Cat books are awesome and just can't wait for the next!" I’ve read my fair share of novels depicting grief but Sunset may just be the most impactful one. I think the beauty here lies within the details. They’re so exact and particular that it feels so real, which makes it feel like you’re reading a memoir at times. If these details are looked at in isolation, they’d probably seem nonsensical, but together they really capture the essence and messiness of grief. On the cover, Dolly Alderton had blurbed it as ‘bittersweet’ - and i can’t think of a better way to describe it. The whole book is so tender and poignant, but we also get beautiful glimpses of Ruth & Hannah’s relationship, and complete with a dash of humour, too. In fact, the style of writing and atmosphere reminded me of Sorrow and Bliss, which i know has been widely loved. Emma, Age 13 "I can't believe how amazing these books are. Right from the one series into another--the excitement just keeps going!" In this reimagining by director Jamie Lloyd, Nicole Scherzinger* will star in the leading role as faded screen star Norma Desmond. Since it’s West End premiere in 1993, SUNSET BOULEVARD has been revived multiple times including a run that starred Glenn Close as Norma.

Into the Wild • Fire and Ice • Forest of Secrets • Rising Storm • A Dangerous Path • The Darkest Hour A piercing and wholly captivating historical novel that creates the most sinister and atmospheric of gothic tones…The foreboding descent into [the house’s] depths are chilling, and yet oh-so addictive… Beautifully atmospheric and absolutely convincing.” This book is heavy on grief and how different people perceive and deal with grief. It has a very strong sibling/sisterly dynamic and was really refreshing to read about. It also focuses on mental health and has vast character growth. Into the Wild & Fire and Ice • Forest of Secrets & Rising Storm • A Dangerous Path & The Darkest Hour • Midnight & Moonrise • Dawn & Starlight • Twilight & SunsetI was also very disappointed that for a book supposedly all about an unconditional love between two sisters, there was far too much focus on the, slightly questionable -and if she was my sister, “not ok”, relationship with a man. However, I think my main struggle was more to do with the characters as individuals. Who felt too “moaning, middle-class millennial” for me. There is so much that I loved about this novel. Ruth is a wonderful narrator. Her anger, loneliness, grief, numbness, frustration, and sadness are depicted with such heart and realism as to bring her character to life. Her sense of humor, occasionally dark, always weird, made me laugh out loud and like her almost instantly. Some of her thoughts may very well make you uncomfortable but I appreciated how honest Ruth’s voice was. Her relationship with her sister is the central aspect of her story and their dynamic was wonderful and heart-rending. From their small habits to the way they speak to others or each other, Cave captures everything about them, making Ruth and Hannah feel less like fictional characters than real-life individuals. I went into Sunset having no idea what it was about, I requested it on a whim as it was an audiobook and I wanted something to listen to. I got accepted on Friday and finished listening on Saturday. I listened non-stop Saturday for 9 hours straight - I literally couldn’t stop listening. Prvá vec, čo som si však na knihe všimla, je neobvyklý štýl písania, v ktorom sa autorka neobvyklo sústreďuje na úplne obyčajné veci. Ešte aj to, že vždy vieme, v ktorej kaviarni akurát pijú kávu, alebo čo akurát jedia, je napísané tak "matter-of-factly", že hoci obvykle takéto zbytočné detaily v knihe nemám rada, tu to akosi sedelo. Jej štýl písania je obyčajný, jednoduchý a predsa strašne zaujímavý a neopozeraný.

A sad girl book that will also warm those frosty corners of a cold dark heart. One for fans of Meg Mason, Eleanor Oliphant and Carless by Kirsty Capes (basically all of my favourite authors & books ever).Nicole Scherzinger (Norma Desmond. Please note, Nicole Scherzinger will not be performing on Thu 5 Oct (matinee) and every Monday from 9 Oct) The Apprentice's Quest • Thunder and Shadow • Shattered Sky • Darkest Night • River of Fire • The Raging Storm Cave clearly has a very authentic and distinctive voice. Her writing is both devastating and wryly humorous, especially when it comes to reflections on grief, loneliness and the impact of sudden trauma. Which clearly comes from a place of personal, lived experience.

West End and Broadway director Jamie Lloyd ( Cyrano de Bergerac, Evita) will reimagine one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s best-loved musicals – based on the Billy Wilder film - for a whole new generation.

For fans of dolly alderton’s ghost, I think you’ll enjoy this book! It’s not a bad book by any means, just wasn’t quite my cup of tea! Sunset is about just trying to keep on going after something truly awful and traumatic has happened even when you don’t want to. Giving it your best shot to carry on a legacy and honour a loved one but also just trying to keep yourself as sane as possible.
