This is an amazing book. It's a blend of history, culture and beautiful love stories. I had no idea about the Chinese Labor Corps of the First World War who went to France and England to assist in the war effort. The Chinese were the largest and longest serving contingent of non-European labor, manpower that kept the machinery of war running. Western historians have glossed over so much of the contributions of so many non whites in the great war. It is only now decades later that historians have laboriously collected memoirs and personal recollections.This is an amazing book. It's a blend of history, culture and beautiful love stories.

This is not only a story about two country music giants but more importantly about the love between two imperfect people who struggled to overcome their demons. Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon play their roles brilliantly.

Really enjoyed this first season. It did have shades of the movie but I was pleasantly surprised that it took on a life of its own. The acting was superb. Very disappointed that this will not be renewed.

Another great British detective series.
The detective stories are great together with the unfolding private lives of the actors.
Love the juxtaposed relationship between Adrian Scarborough and Anamaria Marinca.

Enjoyed this season the most. Nicola Walker was good in the past series but because she was replaced it gave all the old and new characters much broader parts. Always complex and interesting cases. Hoping VPL obtains season 6 soon.

A dark story exquisitely written with a killer ending!
Audrain's book The Whispers is equally as good.
