CNN —Sam Neill is in remission and back to doing what he loves. The 76-year-old actor shared a health update with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation regarding his non-Hodgkin blood cancer, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. “I know I’ve got it, but I’m not really interested in it,” Neill said. His doctors switched courses to try “a rare anti-cancer drug” and it’s had some success, Neill said. He said he’s “not remotely afraid” of dying and instead finds the idea “annoying” as he has so many things he wishes to do.

Bishop skillfully invokes and revises the “forbidden passion” trope of a relationship between an older teacher and a young ingénue. The meta-conversation in the book is smart — What does it mean to tell a true story? As J.B. becomes a suspect in Patrick’s death, she returns to Australia for the first time since she got married. They have an uncanny, dreamlike quality, unfolding without J.B. quite being able to participate in them fully. J.B. is a very good narrator, but I suspect she is not recounting her saga for the reader — she’s telling it for herself.
