Beyond the generic Hungarian and German accents—Japanese, fortunately, is not attempted— The Mistake adds nuance to established history. Through Leo Szilard, Enrico Fermi, and Albert Einstein, we see how European motives and fears about Nazi Germany’s nuclearisation were acted out in American labs, and how these motives would be weaponised by the US and Oppenheimer, in the Manhattan Project.

Characters Development: I loved, LOVED Logan. I didn’t like him more than Garret, but definitely as much. Yes, he had a moment of stupidity but he man-up, took the consequences and redeemed himself. He was so adorable and sexy that it was impossible not to love him. I really liked Grace as well. She wasn’t a doormat and she made Logan grovel when he certainly deserved it. But she was also supportive, fierce and very honest. She was a great heroine. I loved to see more of the others (namely Garrett and Hannah) and I can’t freaking wait for Dean’s book!! On a squash court in Chicago a dazzling scientific experiment takes place, which three years later will destroy a city and change the world – forever. Step by step Gareth manipulated Rose into isolating herself from her family and friends. He also convinced her to accede to his increasingly intrusive demands. Gareth wanted to control every aspect of Rose's life - from the movies she saw, to the flavor of ice cream she ate, to her college plans. When Rose resisted Gareth's 'requests', he became furious and made ominous threats. There was the one "friend" of Grace's, Ramona, that I wanted to punch in both ovaries and then not-so-gently push her off a bridge because hello twat alert! I was glad to see that Grace wasn't such a pushover with her as she was in the beginning, but hopefully she never gets a book. I swears every time I read her name all I could think of was crazy Ramona from Real Housewives and I wanted to reach through my kindle and throttle her.

Rugby has to think about that, what they want exactly in the future, and what sort of sport we’re going to give to our children. We still have a sport that’s full of values – but it’s starting to change a little bit. We have to be careful in the next few years about where we go as a sport.”

One more little niggle- authors, publishers, whoever is responsible, STOP putting things on the cover like 'an unputdownable psychological thriller with a brilliant twist'. I don't want to be looking for the twist. I want it to jump up and slap me in the face and go 'There! You weren't expecting that, were you!' I know I am not the only one who feels like this. But making this a two-hander between a young Japanese woman, and the various European and American men played by Michael Mears, is The Mistake’s triumph. These parallel narratives give each other context; showing how high politics and science, and lived experience are not mutually exclusive, but instead, parts of common histories. Grace keeps saying she has "minor OCD" because she likes to clean. I know this is a super minor thing, but it's a huge pet peeve of mine (as someone with OCD who is severely impacted by it). If it was just said once, I could ignore it, but it was brought up again and again by different characters. Also, Grace wants to be a therapist- she's a psych major! She should know the difference. Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for a free electronic ARC of this novel, received in exchange for an honest review. Sixteen years on, Rose still blames herself for Billy’s death. How could she have failed to protect her little brother?

The former France head coach and ex-World Rugby vice chairman resigned as president of the Fédération Française de Rugby in January after being found guilty of an illegal conflict of interests, insider influencing, and four instances of passive corruption, each one “guided by a bias towards” Altrad, who is a close friend. Laporte is appealing the ruling. Lead singer Ross Sutcliffe provided an equally enthusiastic alternate viewpoint, revealing, “It's an absolute honour to sign with T&M, they've released so many brilliant records with so many exceptional artists and we're dead proud to be a part of that, as a band we are all buzzing to be working with Time and Matter, the upcoming record is the best damn thing we’ve ever written and it’s very exciting to be working with a great team of people who believe in it as much as we do. It’s going to be a total stormer!” Say: 'Work together. Spot the mistakes and correct them. You have 5 minutes. Go!' Stage 4: Identify and correct mistakes

I felt for Rose immensely. One mistake at a young age had such devastating consequences. She desperately tries to cope and deal with loss, grief and guilt in any way she can in a world that has made her so unbelievably scared. And yet, she somehow digs deep and finds the determination to finally know the truth about her brother’s death. Even if it means facing her worst nightmare.It takes a long time to set up a tour of a play - some of you will know this! I have worked long and hard to persuade 28 venues, including theatres, small arts centres, churches, Quaker Meeting Houses and schools to have a performance of the play this September and October. Without a tour pretty much in place, the Arts Council won't look favourably on a grant application - 'where's the evidence of demand?' they will ask. But if you get a strong and varied tour set-up, which of course involves contracts and commitments, and then you are refused funding, as I was just last week, what do you do? Cancel everything? An option, of course - but a costly and unpleasant one.
