Sarahlouqueen · 20/11/2023 18:25

Totally stuck on the picture, have found a book that is also a film, linked to the orientation of the picture and the union that results from a wedding, but it's not allowing that, help needed please, it's my last one

@Sarahlouqueen try saving progress and logging into the game again. Some people have found that "unsticks" truculent answers.

Thanks for all the clues.
I'm still stuck on

Sunshine T shirt girl

JennyWren48 · 20/11/2023 22:45

The wedding picture is a book by Maggie Ofarrel based on a poem by Robert Browning.
i can’t get the other picture with the lion

TotalOverhaul · 20/11/2023 22:47

@GreyDuck Annie recommends is a famous novel by a multimillion bestselling author with a regal surname.

You've got the right Friend. Where might she be going with a suitcase? (generic, not a specific location) Female Irish author.

And the American travel one is a very specific location. Where is Prospect Park?

Bohemond23 · 21/11/2023 08:02

Friends one is a book about a woman that has to go to rehab (chick lit in style).
Annie recommends - search for the film where the woman broke the legs of her captive.

JennyWren48 · 21/11/2023 09:51

look at what is on girls’ t shirt and look up Kasuo Ishiguro’s last book

GreyDuck · 21/11/2023 13:07

@TotalOverhaul thank you!

JennyWren48 · 21/11/2023 14:00

It’s a book by Maggie O’Farrell based on a poem by Robert Browning.
can you help me with the fighting children and the lion portrait please.

Mothership4two · 21/11/2023 14:29

@JennyWren48 Google the names of the children's outfits.

Lion is a red herring. The... sounds like lion (ish). Clues given upthread - think of a poplular British tv series about police corruption with a character called H in it and the first three words of that title is the same as the title of this book. Then another word for Belle

JennyWren48 · 21/11/2023 15:42

Thank you. I have to say it’s a bit of a dodgy clue. How on Earth did you get it? Have you got all the others

Thank you. I have to say it’s a bit of a dodgy clue. How on Earth did you get it? Have you got all the others

With a lot of help from kind people on this thread! I hadn't watched that TV series so those clues didn't help me. I worked out the last word and then did a million variations in my head of words that 'sound like' lion but nothing to do with lion. Had a headache afterwards!

I have got them all now.

JennyWren48 · 21/11/2023 18:27

I wouldn’t have got it ! You couldn’t help me with the Swiss? Man having his arm bandaged and the open door could you?

Mothership4two · 21/11/2023 18:38

If it's not closed what is it? What is the sign made out of? Fairly recent debut novel.

Man isn't Swiss, he is a Morris dancer, so that nationality would he be? He is being treated by a paramedic - who gets treated by paramedics, doctors and nurses? Book and film from the 90s.

InMySpareTime · 21/11/2023 19:46

He's also the kind of person who wouldn't mind waiting quite a while.

withoutjeans · 21/11/2023 20:42

AGHHHHHHHH

ok., i'm clearly an idiot because the books 'the day after tomorrow'? what?!

And the science guides - WHAT

thank you to all the wonderful clues on here

Mothership4two · 21/11/2023 22:14

@withoutjeans

ok., i'm clearly an idiot because the books 'the day after tomorrow'? what?!

As they say in that well know TV show "say what you see" but remember to use punctuation marks ie commas. You have the right word but it is used more than once.

And the science guides - WHAT

Which type of science - it is not Biology. Whole title - you would have these in schools. Very popular book in the past couple of years.

JennyWren48 · 21/11/2023 22:25

its the day after today and it’s repeated three times. A recent novel by

the science guides are a recent novel and tv series. What branch of science are they about? In what do children learn about science. Three words.

JennyWren48 · 21/11/2023 22:26

Great clues.

Bohemond23 · 22/11/2023 07:34

Morris dancer - think ralph fiennes covered in bandages
