It’s been a few years since I’ve written a movie review, beyond making a quick social media comment. This movie is worth a proper discussion.
‘Single All the Way’ is currently available on Netflix, and is the feel good Christmas movie that you shouldn’t miss.
Like many of the movies I’ve watched lately, I think it’s marketing has been woefully inadequate. Or perhaps they knew word of mouth would spread the news?
If you are anything like me, you will need a box of tissues for this movie. And maybe a friend to exclaim with.
You will cringe. You will laugh. You will cry. You will say “Awww!” quite a bit.
This is a movie representing Gay people as people living lives, not just as teens anguished about coming out. There has been a need for greater representation across the entertainment industry, for LGBTIQ+ people, as well as every other minority. Here is one movie making a dent in that need for representation, and doing it beautifully as a Gay Christmas Miracle Fairytale.
(I checked some online commentary, to see if my reaction is similar to the LGBTIQ+ community, and it seems to be. Whew!)
There are things for most people to relate to on some level, and there are wildly outlandish antics to save the movie from being too confrontingly, seriously “real”. This is a rom com romp. Fun for all the family, assuming your family is mature enough to cope with the concept of love between people. And there is so much love. Familial love, intergenerational love. Friendships. Love all around.
This is a ‘Christmas Miracle’ story. The Gays finally have their “dreams can come true” story. I think the expressions on the faces in the end scene are probably genuine, for that reason.
I won’t claim that this is Oscar-winning stuff, although the acting performances of the main characters were superb. Particularly poingnant were Michael Urie and Philemon Chambers as the main characters Peter and Nick, as well as Peter’s parents, played by Kathy Najimy and Barry Bostwick, and Peter’s new love interest played by Luke Macfarlane (loved him in Killjoys!).
Wouldn’t the world be an amazing place if everyone were as loving and mature as these characters?
Perhaps a couple of the characters were overdone: the deluded stage aunt is a little horrifying to me, but she fills out the family story of love and acceptance. The teen girls seem a bit contrived at the beginning, but get better.
The family home is decorated with signs. I totally relate to Carole, Peter’s mother, who makes and gifts these. One of the signs says:
Relax! We’re all crazy.
It’s not a competition.”
This perfectly sums up the large, closely connected family central to the story.
Mind you, this is also the mother who insists on being called “Christmas Carole” (“holiday specific Drag name”) for the month of December, and who we first meet standing next to a sign reading “Sleigh Queen”.
There are so many clever devices throughout the movie, adding depth and complexity.
The Christmas countdown calendar is one, reaching “1 day to prove you are Nice” as events are coming to a head.
The crazy aunt torturing children with a stage play for her to star in is not just a side quest, and an opportunity for Nick and Peter to show how well they work together. Listen to that dialogue!
The journey is not linear. There are sidesteps and mis-steps, making this a more believable, human story.
In places, the storyline was a little contrived and the pace of the movie was perhaps a little uneven, but the convoluted storylines and emotions involved in the various family situations all shone through to culminate in the Christmas Miracle of everyone being happy.
By the end of the movie, the title, ‘Single All The Way’ is more than a cute reference to the OTT (over the top) insanity of ‘Jingle All the Way‘. Peter and Nick have been single this whole time. Haven’t they?
Watch the Trailer for ‘Single All the Way’ here, and watch the whole movie on Netflix.
Postscript:
Were you wondering about the “why does that guy look familiar” bit? Me too!
Turns out that the singer in the pub is Kathy Najimy’s real life husband Dan Finnerty, who is a singer as well as an actor and producer.
As Christmas approaches, I have been remembering this time fondly. You might like to try something similar yourself.
I posted this to a different blog in 2018, and have edited it slightly today. Sadly, some of the photos lost quality in the transfer.
I challenged myself to cook as many new recipes as I could during the Christmas-New Year holiday period 2018, without going shopping…or at least, with minimal shopping!
To be honest, this wasn’t a huge challenge because I’d stocked my fridge, freezer and pantry ahead of time, so I started with 3 dozen eggs, 1.5kg of butter, about 6kg of flour, all the sugars and spices etc. I even had extra fresh vegetables, fruit and herbs, and two hams. We did run out of milk & salad greens.
Part of the reason for this challenge is that I collect recipes all year, but am often too rushed/busy with other priorities to get around to making something new and unfamiliar. I love to eat good food, and I love preparing it, so this was a labour of love.
Another part of the reason for this challenge is that I hate waste, and using up every possible thing is good! I like to save money, and in the current world situation it’s good to be responsible with resources.
The recipes were ones I’d ripped from free magazines (at home), plus some from cookbooks and ones I looked up online. Some were because I was interested in making it/ it seemed yummy, and some were to use up leftovers.
Also, we’ll be moving house soon, so using up some of my stockpiles and getting rid of recipes not worth keeping is part of my preparation.
We’ve been eating like kings! (Or, like I imagine rich people may eat.)
I also made some regular favourites like potato salad, cheesy garlic bread, and similarly unremarkable things. Other things I made up “on the fly” and didn’t bother recording. Like this morning’s croissant with smoked salmon cream-cheese spread. (I did mention that I’d stocked up!)
It only occurred to me today to blog about it, so not everything is included, and I don’t have photos of everything. It goes without saying that we ate leftovers too!
Here are some of the things I came up with:
I made shortbread, cut it out with a flower cutter and stamped the centres with a “Merry Christmas” stamp, making them look like daisies. If I do it again, I might use a more robust biscuit mixture (like “kiss biscuits”), as shortbread is a bit fragile for so much rolling and cutting. Sadly, I have no photos for you.
Baked Glazed Ham
On Christmas Day I’d baked a glazed ham for lunch. Yum!
My ham glaze is homemade orange marmalade, brown sugar, curry powder, ground ginger & lime juice, plus a few cloves inserted into the scored ham. (Last time, I used too many cloves, going for “well-presented”, this year I got the flavour right!) There are lots of other recipes on the internet, including instructions on how to prepare the ham to glaze. Here’s one.
There was some ham glaze (and melted fat) left in the bottom of the pan. I added some water to this, and added chopped pumpkin and sweet potato. I baked these at about 160C for an hour or so that afternoon, and we had them for dinner. I’m wishing I’d thrown in some ordinary potatoes too, but probably these were a better pairing with the sweetness & cloves anyway.
I put the rest of the peeled, chopped sweet potato and pumpkin into a plastic container of water with a lid, and refrigerated it for later.
Sweet Potato Fries
Remember that sweet potato sitting in water in the fridge? A few days later I turned it into sweet potato fries, admittedly smaller than the recipe, so I watched the cooking time. I dried the sweet potato between paper towel before tossing in olive oil. I made the spice mix in a spare shaker I have, and made a double mix, so I have some for later/next time.
Salads
My potato salad dressing is pretty standard: half mayonnaise, half Greek yoghurt, plus a dash of lemon juice, a sprinkle of ground black pepper and a handful of chopped mint. Toss this through some chopped cooked new potatoes and you’re part-way to a meal.
My green salads are similarly basic: I often buy the premixed bags of leaves from the supermarket. With the potato salad, I often don’t dress the green salad, but if I’m serving it alone (maybe with some sliced cucumber and tomato, maybe olives) I might add an “Italian Dressing”/ Vinaigrette of: half a cup each of olive oil & vinegar, dash of salt and pepper, oregano, basil & a spoon of crushed/minced garlic, all shaken together in a jar. (With the lid on, it keeps well in the fridge. You might need to heat it if the oil solidifies in the cold.)
These salads go well with any meat you want to BBQ, or any leftover ham, turkey, chicken etc.
If you like, add some pinenuts or slivered almonds, snow peas etc. if you want more crunch.
Smoked Salmon Wraps
I buy the “pieces for cooking” which are cheaper, and no-one in my household is going to look at how prettily it’s sliced. Spread a wrap/tortilla/flatbread with cream cheese (or mayonnaise or Greek yoghurt), add a few salmon pieces and salad greens/ whatever vegetables you prefer, and roll it up. Depending on who you’re serving it to, you might cut each one in half. Lunch is served!
On to the more interesting recipes!
Black Forest Cake
A slice of Black Forest Cake, only slightly nibbled!
I’d cooked a Black Forest Cake earlier, using the Australian Women’s Weekly recipe, but since it’s such a HUGE cake, had frozen half of it unfilled. I sliced it into 3 layers with a bread knife while still frozen, and filled it with homemade cherry syrup (juice from a jar of cherries plus sugar, boiled to a syrup) instead of Kirsch, whipped cream and cherries from a jar.
(NB In Australia a biscuit is a “cookie” not a scone)
These are what’s left so far:
I just squashed the balls of mixture with my hand, and made them all fit on a large baking tray, but they could have been rolled flatter, maybe even rolled out and cut with a cutter, and baked in batches for a thinner, crisper biscuit.
These biscuits have a creamy texture, like a savoury shortbread, so you’ll need a drink of water, or whatever you prefer, to go with them. Although they contain Parmesan cheese already, they’re nice with a slice of cheese on top. They’re great with an antipasto platter.
I made 2 ready-rolled pastry sheets of this Vegetable Galette for dinner, and all that’s left is one slice!
I forgot the onion – oops! I also left off the stock powder, used pureed tinned tomatoes for the passata, added fresh chilli & rosemary, & dried basil. I’m unclear if that makes it an adaptation or a whole new recipe, but it was delicious!
One of my children refuses to eat sweet potato, but I guess they couldn’t tell that’s what was on it!
Choc-Cherry Blondie
This looks fabulous, but was kind of meh, unfortunately. My kids loved it, but it just seemed a bit non-descript to me, considering the huge quantity of chocolate it contains. It was, however, a great way to use fresh cherries, besides just eating them!
Choc-Cherry Blondie
I can’t find where I got the recipe from, very likely a supermarket magazine or free local magazine, so I can’t link it, but here’s the pasted copy. There are similar recipes online.
Something I wanted to make to use up leftover ham was “Ham and Cheese Tatties” (rissoles of potato, ham and cheese, maybe like rosti?), but I lost the recipe! I eventually found Jamie Oliver’s version of Tatties.
I adapted it to include the ham I wanted to use up, and cheese, just because it goes with ham 🙂
My version of Ham and Cheese Tatties:
3 potatoes (approx 250g)
approx 25g butter plus more for frying
50g plain flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1-2 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup finely diced ham
3/4 cup grated cheese
pinch of salt & shake of pepper
I boiled the potatoes and mashed them with butter, then added a tablespoon or so of milk, a dash of pepper and a pinch of salt, mixed it all together with the flour and baking powder to form a dough, and mixed through the ham and cheese. I divided the dough into two balls, flattened each one on a cutting board and sliced it like pizza. I shallow-fried these pieces in butter, et voila!
The mixture made 12 wedges of what is similar to hash browns or bubble & squeak.
Delicious! I served them with salad (after a quick trip to the shops, but I’m counting that as allowed), including tomato to offset the butter.
Fresh Berries and Icecream
Dessert was simple shop-bought vanilla icecream with fresh berries, cherries and mint.
(Yes, I probably SHOULD pay more attention to presentation/styling, but I’m on holidays!)
Cheap Vanilla Custard
A while ago, I bought an instant pudding mix out of curiosity. As it happened, I had about 2L of milk about to expire, and was thinking of ways to use it up. I spotted this in the cupboard. In the sweltering heat we’ve been having (Summer, with 30C+ days and evenings) , this was great: no cooking = not increasing the temperature in the house!
It’s obviously not as nice as a homemade baked custard or panne cotta etc, but it’s set vanilla custard for about $1, and it used up 750mL of milk.
In what some may call a “God moment”, serendipitous, or just a nice coincidence, on my quick trip to the supermarket I spotted cannoli shells on special. Two birds, one stone! Vanilla custard-filled Cannoli. A nice improvement on the plain pudding.
Canoli added to the Vanilla Custard – I’m sure it’s usually the other way around!
Mango Cheesecake
It took a while for me to decide which Mango Cheesecake recipe to use, but I eventually went with this one.
If I make it again, I might make an edge of cheesecake all the way up to keep the mango contained, as it’s a bit oozy with the top layer of cheesecake pressing the mango out the sides.
It’s delicious though!
(Update: the second day it actually tastes even better. On the first day it tasted like fresh mango served with creamy cheesecake. On the second day the flavours have blended for a more subtle mango flavour and a richer cheesecake flavour. Perfect!)
It’s also relatively low in sugar, with only half a cup of white sugar in it, no sweetened, condensed milk or chocolate, which other recipes have.
Mango and Ginger Ale Icy Poles
I found some recipes for icy-poles/ popsicles, and adapted one, making these from just mango pulp & dry ginger ale. The result tastes like slightly less intense mango.
On a side note: I think it’s been about 10 years since I used this icy-pole mould. I nearly threw it out several times. I’m glad I didn’t!
There’s a couple of days left of my cooking adventure. I’m planning to make a pumpkin pie (leftover pumpkin). I’m still deciding on which recipe to use though, as there are so many variations!
I’ll update the post when I’ve made it. (Sadly, it looks like I forgot to do this.)
Feel free to comment recipes for other things you think I should cook. Perhaps I’ll make a future post of recipes that were recommended?
Thanks for sharing my adventure! I’d love to see what you’ve made during these or other holidays, too 🙂
Some of my life has been quite “Forrest Gumpian”: I’ve just stumbled into situations with no idea they are a big deal.
Remember Forrest Gump? The titular character of a fictional movie about a man who led an extraordinary life with little idea of what he was doing. The movie was adapted from a book by Winston Groom, and the character was based on several real people, according to this article.
I was reminded of my similarity to Forrest recently when someone asked me if I was a professional singer, since I was singing to myself as I washed up at lunchtime.
When I said that no, I have sung with choirs and things, but I don’t like performing, she tried to press me to overcome what she appeared to perceive as anxiety.
This happens a lot.
People assume I have stage fright. I did in Primary School, but that was over 40 years ago. I’m not exactly a “veteran of the stage”, but I have performed music and spoken in front of people enough times for it to be generally not anxiety producing.
I am not afraid of performing. I am just a bit bored with it. I don’t crave the adoration of a crowd and never have. I’m uncomfortable with groupies.
I’m a mediocre musician. I’ve never been particularly rewarded for my musical performances – they were just a thing someone needed. A service provided. A joyful noise I was making.
I even played an electric organ with one hand as a teenager, at my small country church, when we had no other accompaniment available. It wasn’t ideal. It was just a thing that was needed at the time.
I have led a couple of different music groups, mostly in a church context. I have sung with multiple choirs. I have performed regularly (fortnightly?) in church services for a couple of hundred people 25-ish years ago. I have played flute with concert bands, orchestras, and several smaller ensembles.
One church (actually, the Pastor’s wife) invited me to travel to their church and sing solo. Due to my inexperience, I did so without adequate rehearsal and while having an asthma attack. My profuse apologies to the congregation. I haven’t been back!
I don’t have an ego which requires the adoration of a crowd. I’m not like the many performers I know who do. My soul is satisfied making a joyful noise. In fact, I was once in the wings of a professional concert, singing along to myself, when one of the performers was having a moment of self-doubt, telling me that I could sing better than she does (people get perceptions muddled during times of stress), and why wasn’t I on stage instead of her. I pointed out to her that I was just enjoying the music, I don’t bring the energy that audiences feed off like she does. She went on stage. She was great.
Back to my conversation in a work kitchen.
This person was pushing me about performing, and I pointed out that I have performed. I have performed in the room with the giant stained glass window at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne as part of a huge choir. I also performed in the street at the Melbourne Fringe. Both of those were in the same year: the second part of 1997.
I don’t think she believed me.
Both of those performance opportunities were because someone asked me to come and watch them perform at the St Kilda Pub, and there were announcements. Someone invited people to join a mass community choir for an event. I joined that. A choir Director advertised a class, and I joined that class. One thing led to another.
I assumed that singing at these events was a normal thing for Melbourne people to do. I had no idea that it was difficult to be accepted into the classes run by this well-known performer. I had no idea this choir Director WAS a well-known performer! Because I had no idea, I was not intimidated. Because I didn’t even know it was possible to fail the audition, I didn’t.
Psychologists and Life Coaches encourage people to visualise themselves succeeding. I just assumed I would be singing with this group, because it was just a bit of fun, and I had sung with groups before. I had the basic skills. I wasn’t even conscious that I expected success. That’s the way to succeed: skills, self-belief and a willingness to “give it a go” in a cooperative way.
Now I realise that I was quite privileged. I was only IN Melbourne for 5 months, completing a student placement. I had the benefit of music lessons in high school from an excellent teacher, who taught me that I was mediocre, and that was OK. Most of the world is mediochre. It doesn’t need to stop you.
It’s just a matter of being in the right place at the right time and seizing opportunities that seem interesting and fun, opportunities aligned with who I am and what I enjoy.
Forrest Gump just ran because he felt like it, and created a phenomenon
It probably helped that I was willing to strike up conversation with random people on the tram, and was a little too naive and trusting!
Being reminded of this impressed upon me to encourage everyone: put yourself in the right place at the right time, and to say “Yes!” to the opportunities that present themselves.
Develop your talents and interests. Attend things that seem interesting. Support other people in their interests. Listen to what people say. Do what feels right. Join in when it seems like a good idea.
Of course, not every opportunity means you will suddenly be doing things others have only dreamed of. Some opportunities fizzle out. Some opportunities are just ordinary. But more times than not, you will find things to do that make you happy. Do those things. Make memories.
Have stories to tell that no-one believes because they seem too amazing, but you know were just an ordinary day for you.
I once saw a quote: “Make your life worth loving.”
Despite the difficulties of 2020, there have been many good things. There are threads on Twitter about some of those things. (Search “good things 2020”). Reading others’ gratitude can be a nice reminder for ourselves.
Positive Psychology* says that paying attention to the good things helps to maintain a healthy, positive mindset, and promote resilience to manage the difficulties in life. Sharing nice things with others can spread the happiness.
Here’s just one of the nice things that I experienced in 2020.
I recently celebrated a birthday. Two of my favourite things in the world are tea and cake, so High Tea (even if I make it at home!) is a favourite of mine. Another favourite thing is spending time with my son and daughter.
As a treat to celebrate my birthday, my daughter booked us a 10am table at Adore Tea, and it made a magnificent brunch!I loved it so much that I’m writing about it for you, complete with pictures!
I’ve had High Tea at other places, but this menu is my favourite. It’s far more exotic, yet far less pretentious. Many of the dishes are “tea infused”, so I worried that it would be overwhelming. It wasn’t. The flavours were perfect!
Each tiny item in the 4 course (counting the pre-meal iced tea in a champagne flute) creative menu was beautifully presented, delicious and well thought out. The combinations of flavours and textures were well balanced.
Accompanied by a pot of different delicious tea (on a candle-lit tea-warmer) at each course, I actually had to leave half a tiny cheesecake at the end because I just couldn’t fit it in!
The last pot was this “dessert tea”. It was so visually interesting that I made a video of it brewing. I didn’t realise in time to capture the start, but it begins as a heart shaped dried “ball” of white tea leaves, which is dropped into the pot of boiling water. It unfurls as it brews, and “is ready when it’s open”.
“Heart to Heart” tea unfurls as it brews, revealing flowers
The finished, strawberry flavoured, tea, with a couple of petals resembling tiny Japanese fighting fish.
The beautiful crockery and tasteful decor, with attention to detail, makes a lovely cottage setting for High Tea.
Place settings vary from table to table, but include the menu and welcome gifts.
The space is well laid out, enabling social distancing between tables.While chatter from other tables is audible, it’s easy to ignore – there’s enough distance not to be uncomfortable about overhearing.
Socially distanced layout (there are also tables outside) Attention to detail in the decor, including teapots in the chair backs, and a teapot sign for the bathrooms.
The on-site bathroom (cute little blue teapot sign to the right of the wall feature) means that you can freshen up before shopping.
After High Tea we were able to choose from the dozens of different tea flavours (ther are 200!), tea pots, cups and tea paraphernalia to purchase in the store, with a 20% discount for High Tea patrons. I used my discount on the same day, but the card has no expiry date, and can be used later, including online.
Just some of the teas that fascinated me.
The teas I bought this visit. I expect the “Dragon and Phoenix” ball to unfurl similarly to “Heart to Heart” (in the video above).
At the time of writing (December 2020) Adore Tea is having a 15% off sale, and they sell online. If you’re in Canberra and want to check them out, they’re in Federation Square in Nicholls.
We completed our visit to Federation Square by browsing some other lovely stores before we left.
While writing this post I enjoyed a delightful pot of Canberra Breeze, which I would describe as Creme Brulee with hints of fruit. So yummy that I drank the whole pot!
Disclosure: I received no incentives to write this post, I just really loved the High Tea!
What things have you enjoyed or been grateful for in 2020?
Take a few minutes to remember them for yourself, maybe make a list, and please share in the comments so that others can also be uplifted by your pleasant memories.
I watched ‘Good Omens’ on Amazon Prime almost 10 years after I last read Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s book ‘Good Omens’. I think I’ve read it twice. It’s stayed in my memory as hilarious, absurd yet insightful genius, and a book that I’ll read again.
The TV show is wonderful! It maintains most of the key elements of the book, skipping some detail that no doubt wouldn’t have translated to the screen and the current viewing audience’s expectations. It makes Crowley and Aziraphale (I’ve been mis-pronouncing his name all these years, therefore missing the meaning!) so much more real, vulnerable and lovable…just adorable!
Particularly if you’re a fan of David Tennant (Crowley) &/or Michael Sheen (Aziraphale), you’re in for a treat! There is consistently superb acting from all the cast, including young Sam Taylor Buck (Adam), and the production quality is marvellous. ‘Good Omens’ is a tribute to all involved, from Script-Writer and Showrunner Neil Gaiman himself, Director Douglas McKinnon, editing, effects, costumes, makeup, cinematography and everyone else!
From memory, the TV show leaves out some of the insights of the book, but still has strong, modern, worthwhile messages for us, the audience. To avoid spoilers, I can’t say what they are. I will say that girls and women, as well as people of several different ethnicities, are represented. Humans are both vilified and praised for being human. Characters think about which “side” they are really on, and maybe knowing the difference between good and evil isn’t such a bad thing… Maybe just watch it and see!
The trailer is a bit of a summary, but doesn’t show the depth of the characters. Watch the show for the whole roller-coaster of a story!
The book was first published in 1990, and well-received by fans around the world since. It has been made into a BBC radio play, and more than 10 years ago there were the beginnings of a movie with Terry Gilliam and the BBC.
Neil Gaiman has spent the last 5 years bringing the ‘Good Omens’ story to the screen, after co-author Terry Pratchett, in failing health in 2014, begged him to. A few years ago IDW was involved in the transition to a TV series. IDW has published some of Gaiman’s work and also owns the comedy/horror comic book series and TV show ‘Wynonna Earp‘, available on Netflix.
As Gaiman said in one interview, it took so long even though he “had a whole book, with a plot and lines and everything”! (Sadly, I can’t find the interview now to link it.) It’s clearly been a process, as it’s ended up as an Amazon Original, and what a faithful Original it is!
If, like me, you thought Amazon Prime/Video is expensive: it’s really not! It’s cheaper than some other streaming services, with additional benefits like music, ebooks and games included (I haven’t even explored all there is on offer yet!). As an added bonus, Amazon Prime is offering a 30 day free trial right now (July 2019) – grab it while you can!
While you’re at it, read the book ‘Good Omens’ for more surreal hilarity than the TV show, explanations of things like the meaning of “nice and accurate”, why “the omens are good”, and more detail of the two Witchfinders and their Witches. (Although Gaiman claimed in an interview that the TV show makes Newt better, I liked him better in the book because you get to know more of him.) Amazon has copies here.
Mentioning Newt reminds me of the legacy of influence that ‘Good Omens’ has. Newt on TV reminds me a little of JK Rowlings’ Newt Scamander, whether intentionally or not. Even more so, the first time I saw the demon Crowley in ‘Supernatural’ (SPN) I thought of ‘Good Omens’, and Eric Kripke, creator/writer of ‘Supernatural’ even acknowledged on Twitter that SPN Crowley was inspired by ‘Good Omens’ Crowley.
Click this Tweet to go to the conversation on Twitter, which includes Gaiman saying that this is why he likes Kripke!
Resources for fans of this show are in abundant supply! Here are just a few:
For those who like details, Radio Times has put together a summary of every character in the show.
There are now two new books ABOUT ‘Good Omens’!

Here are just some of the many interviews where Neil Gaiman talks about his Good Omens journey. I haven’t linked everything I’ve read because I read some of them before I thought of blogging about the show! A quick online search for ‘Good Omens TV’ will reveal interviews with Gaiman as well as with show stars Sheen & Tennant.

The bottom line: The book ‘Good Omens’ is hilarious, insightful, humour in the British tradition, and ‘Good Omens’ the TV show faithfully represents the characters, world and story of the book with an update for current world-wide audiences.
