■高島屋で恥をかく
Passionate, stubborn Mado, whose "head is full of rocks" tries to save the livelihoods of the villagers of Les Salants by urging them to work together to save the beach from erosion, both natural and man-made. The villagers, written with endearing panache by Harris, are an eccentric, curmudgeonly bunch, who eventually cooperate with the help of Flynn, a charismatic stranger with a shady past. He's not the only man of mystery in Mado's life; her father, taciturn Grosjean, has a secretive heart that's as "prickly and tightly layered as an artichoke", and local, wealthy businessman Brismand also seems to be hiding something. Mado does her best to unravel these mysteries, while attempting to keep a hold on her own sense of self in the claustrophobic, close community. It's not only the shore line that takes a buffeting. The villagers and the island are so vividly described that it's impossible not to become engrossed in Mado's story. Coastliners is a book about longing to belong, and Joanne Harris charts that emotional voyage compellingly. --Eithne Farry
指輪物語のカセットは、なんとトールキンの生声！これはお宝でしょう！
ついでに革装のコンプリート本も欲しかったが、ぐっと我慢。おまけにDELREY版のPBのボックスセット（『王の帰還』にはアラゴルンの写真つき）も欲しくなった。やっぱりアラン・リーのイラストのボックスセットは気にいらない。読む気にもならないし、ましてやお宝にする気もないので、非常に無駄。
