Moriarty is a master of ambiguity and also of the small, telling detail like a tossed tennis racket or the repeated appearance of apple crumble. Who is Savannah? Whether she’s innocent, scamming, or something else remains unclear on many levels. Here, Moriarty returns to the day a stranger named Savannah turned up bleeding on the Delaneys’ doorstep and Joy welcomed her to stay for an extended visit. The structure follows the pattern of Big Little Lies (2014) by setting up a mystery and then jumping months into the past to unravel it. As worrisome details come to light, the police become involved. But days pass and Joy remains missing and uncharacteristically silent. 14, 2020 (note the date), the last text she sends to her now-grown kids-bohemian Amy, passive Logan, flashy Troy, and migraine-suffering Brooke-is too garbled by autocorrect to decipher and stubborn Stan refuses to accept that there might be a problem. Their long, complicated marriage has been filled with perhaps as much passion for the game of tennis as for each other or their children. Joy and Stan Delaney met as champion tennis players more than 50 years ago and ran a well-regarded tennis academy until their recent retirement. Australian novelist Moriarty combines domestic realism and noirish mystery in this story about the events surrounding a 69-year-old Sydney woman’s disappearance.

Scientists told the Post that the climate in Antarctica is prone to rapid change and that a frigid winter doesn't mitigate the seriousness of climate change. But the ice melted rapidly over the next several weeks, and by the end of September sea ice had thinned to some of the lowest levels seen at that time of year. Thanks to the frigid temperatures, sea ice levels around Antarctica were at their fifth highest extent on record in August, the Post reported. Still stunning, still pretty, still bold, still loves her father more than any man in the world, still got her hustle and high.

Ozone protects Earth's surface from harmful ultraviolet rays and depleting it can expand the ozone hole over Antarctica.

To make matters worse, a national security law that further crimps Hong Kong's freedoms has recently been decreed in Beijing. Universal suffrage and free elections have not been instituted, harassment and brutality have become normalized, and activists are being jailed en masse. But as the halfway mark of the SAR's lifespan approaches in 2022, it is clear that China has not kept its word. An international treaty established a Special Administrative Region (SAR) with a far freer political system than that of Communist China-one with its own currency and government administration, a common-law legal system, and freedoms of press, speech, and religion. In preparation for handing the territory over to China in 1997, Deng Xiaoping promised that it would remain highly autonomous for fifty years. For 150 years as a British colony, Hong Kong was a beacon of prosperity where people, money, and technology flowed freely, and residents enjoyed many civil liberties.

So Blue turns to her diary and her unique way of seeing the world through her camcorder to express herself. Blue thinks and feels very deeply about life but can't really talk to anyone about it, because no one in the Gadsby family wants to address the real problem - that Blue's twin sister, Iris, died a year ago, and they are all just trying to hide their grief in busyness. The enigmatic Joss moves in next door and Blue thinks she might be falling in love, until he takes out her older sister Flora instead (who, incidentally, is trying to make a statement by dying her hair bright pink but no one takes the blindest bit of notice). Both her parents seem more interested in their careers than the family, leaving Blue and her three siblings in the care of Zoran the au pair, as well as their three pet rats (who may or may not be pregnant). Bluebell Gadsby is 13 but that's the least of her problems.
