2024/11/10

Time of the Child by Niall Williams. Set in a small Irish village, this tells the story of Dr Jack Troy who lives quietly with his unmarried daughter Ronnie. Their lives are changed forever just before Christmas in 1962 when an abandoned baby is found and handed to him, and instead of passing the child on to the correct authorities he finds he simply cannot give her up. I cannot say enough how wonderful this book is - it’s a masterclass in writing and I thought it was sublime. The Voice Inside by

If you're over 50 and can stand on one leg for at least 30 seconds, you may be aging well, according to recent research published in the journal PLOS ONE. Unipedal balance testing (standing on one leg) is a known measure of neuromuscular aging. The study found that as we age, our balance tends to decline more quickly than our walking speed or muscle strength making it a very sensitive predictor of physical ageing. In the study, 40 healthy individuals aged over 50 (20 aged under 65, 20 aged 65 and

It’s understandable Auckland CBD's retail and hospitality businesses' initial reaction was one of concern after learning Auckland’s train network will close for 96 days in the final push to get the City Rail Link open in 2026. Devastated even. In years to come, we will take the CRL for granted as a valuable, normal part of a functioning, modern city. But almost a decade of disruption has taken a toll. This latest news will be triggering for those impacted. Yes, the rail network upgrades have to be

The four-page Treaty Principles Bill has been introduced - and will be the subject of Parliament debate next week. Many are wondering about the bill's future, given that Prime Minister Chris Luxon has said his party won't support it past the select committee stage. NZ Herald political reporter Adam Pearse says Luxon won't even be in the country for its first reading - and will be looking to put some distance between himself and the bill ahead of the APEC summit in Peru.

Days after Republican candidate Donald Trump won the US presidential election, former House speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed Joe Biden for not leaving the race sooner. Pelosi suggested that there could have been an open primary to determine Biden's replacement if he'd stepped aside earlier, and she claimed Biden's decision to endorse Kamala Harris four months from the election foreclosed that possibility. US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says the Democrats have been pointing fingers to determine what went

This Kingdom of Dust by David Dyer. In 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon and were then safely returned to Earth. In an alternative scenario, what if the lunar landing module failed and they couldn’t get back? It’s a compelling premise, told in three voices – that of Buzz on the moon, his wife Joan back in a US suburb surrounded by other astronauts’ wives waiting for news of her husband, and Aquarius, a journalist hired to write the story of the moon landing who got a lot more

It's been a slow winter for Auckland - but the city's in for an extra boost when Coldplay touches down. The band's 'Music of the Spheres' tour has caused a significant spike in Australia's hotel and aviation sectors, and it's likely similar growth will happen on this side of the ditch. BloggerAtLarge.com writer Megan Singleton says last summer's Pink concert generated extra spending across the hospitality and tourism sectors - and there's a case for the Government to lure more big international
