A slice of Lesley's life

W4 Book Day

As has been previously established W4 has its own time zone and so dressing up for World Book Day usually happens within the vicinity of the rest of the world but never at quite the same time. Regardless of when it occurs it makes for a very easy blip day.

This year Anna is Lorelli from The Thornthwaite Inheritance.

The Thornthwaite Inheritance is an award-winning children's macabre crime novel by British author Gareth P. Jones. It was published in 2009.

Ovid and Lorelli Thornthwaite are thirteen-year-old twins and they are very unusual. They wear only black, eat only bland food, listen and play only sombre music and have no electric appliances other than light bulbs in their house. But what is even stranger is their desire to kill each other! When Lorelli and Ovid create a truce on their thirteenth birthday, Lorelli brings a lawyer into the house to add to their deceased parents' will. If one of the twins kills the other before their sixteenth birthday, the day in which they inherit half of the Thornthwaite's massive inheritance, the other will immediately be cut out of the will. But bizarre murder attempts continue to be made, and the twins, though deeply suspicious of each other, work together to uncover the explanation.
