PAGE 4 Wednesday November 6 2019 BAY HARBOUR Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEW RELEASES GREAT Spring READS INSTORE! GREAT NEW READS INSTORE The Dark Island Leprosy in New Zealand and the Quail Island Colony by Benjamin Kingsbury From 1906 to 1925 Quail Island, in Lyttelton Harbour, was the site of New Zealand’s leprosy colony. The colony began by accident, as it were, after the discovery of a leprosy sufferer in Christchurch. As further patients arrived from across the country, it grew into a controversial and troubled institution – an embarrassment to the Health Department, an object of pity to a few, a source of fear to many. This remarkable narrative reveals a little-known aspect of New Zealand’s past, shedding light on the treatment of some of society’s most marginal, unfortunate and isolated people. Written in lucid, compelling prose, The Dark Island heralds the arrival of a significant historical voice. Me Elton John Sir Elton John, CBE, is a multi-award winning solo artist who has achieved 38 gold and 31 platinum or multi-platinum albums, has sold more than 300 million records worldwide, and holds the record for the biggest-selling single of all time, ‘Candle in the Wind 1997’. In August 2018 Elton was named the most successful male solo artist in the Billboard Hot 100 chart history, having logged 67 entries, including nine Number 1s and 27 Top 10s. Elton launched his first tour in 1970 and since then has performed over 4,000 times in more than 80 countries. When not recording or touring, Elton devotes his time to a number of charities, including his own Elton John AIDS Foundation, which has raised over $300 million and funded programmes across four continents in the twenty-four years it has existed. He is married to David Furnish, and they have two sons. Me is his first and only official autobiography. The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters The Tragic and Glamorous Lives of Jackie and Lee by Sam Kashner: Conversation Starters Jackie was more traditional, private and quiet, while Lee explored the modern and experimental. Lee was the flirtatious, outgoing and fun-loving sister who loved to be in the limelight. The irony was that it was Jackie who became the famous one and Lee was relegated as the lady-in-waiting. Lee was original in her style, Jackie copied from her and took the credit from the applauding international media, which made Lee even more jealous. The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters peeks into the private and public lives of these two women, showing their close yet complicated relationship marked by rivalry and jealousy. The book is written by Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger who also wrote about other famous personalities in their books A Talent for Genius and Furious Love. Kirkus Reviews lauds the book’s “explorations of the truths and fictions of Camelot [that] continue to mesmerize.” Big Ideas for Small Houses By Catherine Foster A look at a range of small houses around New Zealand, and the strategies the owners used to get a toehold in the tight housing market.
