|summary=Lydia Bennet has just turned fifteen and has received, amongst other gifts, a diary from her bookish older sister Mary.

|author=A N Wilson
|title=Resolution
|rating=4
|genre=Literary Fiction
|summary=In 1772 Reinhold Forster and his son George were hired as ship's naturalists for the ''Resolution'', the vessel Captain James Cook piloted to New Zealand and back on a three-year voyage of discovery. Once a Lutheran pastor near Danzig, Reinhold seemed unable to settle to one line of work and had a higher opinion of himself than was prudent. In Wilson's vision of life on the ''Resolution'', Reinhold seems fussy, argumentative and rather heartless, as when he offers George's dog up as fresh meat when the captain is desperately ill. George, just 18 when he joins the expedition, is a self-taught illustrator and botanist with a keen ear for languages. Though precociously intelligent, he is emotionally immature and cannot keep a handle on his masturbation habit or deal with their servant Nally's crush on him.
