Pandora - Penguin Books UK

Pandora” is a historical fiction gem, the debut novel by author Susan Stokes-Chapman. Set in London in 1799, Chapman’s novel manages to merge Greek mythology and Georgian England in a creative and realistic way. The story is told from three POV’s; Dora, Edward (a historian with a passion for antiquities and Dora’s love interest) and Hezekiah himself. I loved how Chapman brought all three characters alternatively into the limelight, as it served to deepen the plot and character development.Britney Spears says she is 'grateful' to fans and readers after her memoir The Woman in Me sells more than a million copies in first week Victoria Coren Mitchell, 51, reveals she's given birth to her second child after surprise pregnancy with husband David, 49 Meanwhile, Edward Lawrence is a bookbinder with a passion for material culture, determined to overcome his less than privileged upbringing to gain acceptance into the prestigious Society for Antiquaries.

Following on from the last question, the final ‘gift’ was Hope – how has the author weaved the theme of hope within the novel? Jenna Ortega admits she'll never dye her hair blonde or conform to industry standards because individuals 'haven't had her best interests' Then the pithos comes into play, and I am desperate to see this in a film. The descriptions in the book just scream 'stunning' and I am certain my imagination comes nowhere near its beauty. Having finished school Dora now focuses her ambitions in designing jewellery, so when an ornate vase arrives at the shop, her interested is piqued immediately. Not because this treasure is a thing of beauty and mysterious, but she is able to take inspiration from its rare qualities and designs, when designing her own jewellery range. However, her interest only grows in a different direction when the secrecy, value and historical reference attributed to this piece of antique comes to light.
