There they discover a hidden underwater lab, and with the help of its scientists, Sky will finally learn the truth about her father’s secret mission. Today, after a treacherous journey through the wilderness, Sky and her friends have made it to their destination: Lake Michigan. Last week, twelve-year-old Sky found a cryptic message from her dad, who mysteriously fled the safety of their underground compound five years ago. The note said the fate of the world depended on her going topside, to a lost world that’s ruled by dinosaurs. Perfect for fans of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World!

Charles Nuetzel was born in San Francisco in 1934, and writes: This gives the novel an episodic feel rather than the dramatic tension usually associated with crime dramas. At many points, the central plot gives way to incidents that consist of social satire or philosophical speculation. The tone is generally light and witty, though Harriet does grapple with some serious issues as she tries to sort out her personal feelings for Wimsey. The story is told using limited third-person narration from Harriet’s point of view. Shrewsbury is a thinly disguised version of Sayers’ own Somerville College. A few scenes take place in London, though most of the action is set in fictional Shrewsbury College at Oxford University. The novel begins in June 1935, but the mystery isn’t solved until nearly a year later. With regard to the character of Lord Peter Wimsey, Sayers admitted that he represented a composite of all the traits of her ideal man. The character of Harriet is loosely based on Sayers herself because she graduated from Somerville College at Oxford University with a master’s degree in modern languages and medieval literature. However, she is best remembered for her mysteries and is regarded, along with Agatha Christie, as one of the queens of Golden Age Detective Fiction during the 1920s and 1930s. Sayers published numerous other works of fiction and nonfiction in addition to the Wimsey series.

Many thanks Karen, your presentation was very insightful and probing. What is it that transforms the physical (matter) to an “alive” from a dormant or “dead” state? Questions about the soul… and her mention in the book of the weight of the soul when it leaves… get me thinking about this question of what separates life from death. Sally Mann certainly seemed consumed by the “messiness” of the body as well as its beauty… as depicted by her photos in dire situations, and in the decay of death… flesh melting away from bone… return to the earth… and the question of the “mystery of life” itself. Your questions were very stimulating of the issues that are often raised by art… I too loved her photographs, as they are both beautiful and sometimes disturbing… certainly very evocative… AND they raise different issues for me around the ethics of informed consent… especially re children, who are too young to fully comprehend the ramifications. Thank you for the incredibly well prepared presentation Karen. You can see by the thoughtful comments below that the book generated a lively discussion and Karen’s discussion preparation was most appreciated. We unfortunately could not meet in Karen’s beautiful backyard due to weather, so met once again using Zoom. Attached is the excellent presentation (without the videos) that Karen used in her discussion about ‘Stay Still’.

On his return to England, Selkirk’s story became celebrated, eventually reaching the writer Daniel Defoe. On this day, after four years of isolation on a Pacific island off the coast of Chile, he was rescued by the Duke, an English privateering ship.
