Rachel Reviews: Gabriel's Moon by William Boyd
You may not know this but William Boyd is one of my favourite writers. I have never picked up a Boyd book and been disappointed. I think this is because he is an excellent storyteller and for me, that is the singular most important thing about a novel. It needs to transport me, immerse me, make me believe and it needs to be done with the smoothness of royal icing: devoid of bumps and marks and with a shiny glaze and a sweet taste.

REVIEW BOOK "THE DEVIL OF NANJING – THE HORRIFIC HORRIBLE OF CRIME"
The wounds of war have always been a topic that makes any reader feel pained with indescribable emotions. More than the war crimes that have appeared in historical documents, The Devil of Nanjing does not simply recount the barbaric acts that the Japanese committed during the war in China in the forties of the previous decade.

REVIEW BOOK"THE CASE WITHOUT A MURDERER – INTENTIONALLY OR ACCIDENTALLY, KILLER OR VICTIM".
OVERVIEW Consisting of 7 short stories, in which The Case Without A Murderer is the title for the entire collection, as if it captures the content that author Higashino Keigo puts into each story, and also captures his spirit in many works throughout his massive writing career. That a case without a murderer is not simply a case that is not a murder. But from many angles, going deep into the motive of the crime, the murderer can also be the victim in their own story. Or because, there is someone who intentionally builds a case without a murderer.

WOLF FANG AND SNOW
White Fang is probably not a strange name to those who love classic works, especially the works of author Jack London. I first knew Jack London through his short story Love of Life. From there, I searched for other short stories such as: making fire, iron heels... And I cannot help but mention the work "The Call of the Wild", as well as White Fang,... I also intended to write a review of The Call of the Wild, but unfortunately, I read it more than 3 years ago. Now, writing a review is a bit vague. But as for White Fang, I just finished reading it, so I'll write a review.

The Garden That Grew Only at Night
Travelers discovered a secret garden blooming under moonlight alone. The petals glowed faintly, as if made from silver. When daylight came, the flowers vanished, leaving only dewdrops behind. A scientist tried to transplant them but failed. A poet sat nearby each night and spoke softly. Slowly, the flowers bent toward him. He realized they grew not for light, but for gentleness. The flowers stayed forever when people approached them with quiet hearts. It became a place where noise died and truth bloomed.
