This pastiche series borrows characters and settings from the established canon of Sherlock Holmes, but the Enola character is Springer's creation and specific to this series. Furthermore, Enola must keep ahead of her brothers who are determined to capture and force her to conform to their expectations. Instead, with the aid of her mother, who had provided hidden funds and an elaborate cipher for her daughter to communicate with her, Enola runs away to London, where she establishes a clandestine private detective career specializing in missing persons investigations. When their mother disappears, Enola's much-older brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes, decide to send her to a finishing school against her will. ![]() ![]() There are seven books in the series, and one short story all written from 2006–2021.

One is a promoter of racism, while the other is a literary giant who reflects on issues of racism. ![]() Yes, I admit that comparing Thomas Dixon to William Faulkner is sacrilegious for fans of Faulkner. "Why? With so many good books in the world, why would you choose the worst one?" Given that this is not a "racist novel book club" but rather "William Faulkner book club", I do not intend to go into detail about the plot of this book here. Not only that, but I also plan to translate it chapter by chapter into Chinese. Yes, it's the sequel to the original "The Birth of a Nation". Recently, I started reading "The Traitor" by Thomas Dixon. (As what I'm about to discuss is closely related to racism, if you feel uncomfortable, I do not recommend you to read on.) ![]() ![]() ![]() Toru and May conducted their survey in front of the Wako Building Aside from the Wako Building in front of which they work, other Ginza landmarks include the Sony Building, a multi-storied Sony showroom, the Mitsukoshi department store and the Kabukiza Theatre. ![]() ![]() In The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Toru and his 15-year-old neighbor May Kasahara work part-time in Ginza, surveying the baldness of the men they see walk by for a wig company.

The Courage to Care: A Call for Compassion, her most recent work, is the second of her published memoirs her emotional hardships and personal relationships with patients have been passionately expressed on the page. In a conversation with UEA’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Fiona Lettice, Professor Christie Watson opened up about her impressively extensive career, as a paediatric nurse for 20 years, and later as a writer and teacher.
