And Meritet, inspired by Ezili, flees her enslavement and makes a pilgrimage to Egypt, where she becomes known as Saint Mary. Jeanne slowly succumbs to the ravages of age and syphilis when her lover is unable to escape his mother's control. Review of The Salt Roads by Nalo Hopkinson In attractive prose, Nalo Hopkinsons The saline Roads notifies how Ezili, the African goddess of love, becomes entangled in the inhabits of three women. Despite her magic, Mer suffers as a slave on a sugar plantation until Ezili plants the seeds of uprising in her mind. Led by a lesbian healer and midwife named Mer, the women's lamentations inadvertently release the dead infant's "unused vitality" to draw Ezili-the Afro-Caribbean goddess of sexual desire and love-into the physical world.Īs Ezili explores her newfound powers, she travels across time and space to inhabit the midwife's body-as well as those of Jeanne, a mixed-race dancer and the mistress of Charles Baudelaire living in 1880s Paris, and Meritet, an enslaved Greek-Nubian prostitute in ancient Alexandria.īound together by Ezili and "the salt road" of their sweat, blood, and tears, the three women struggle against a hostile world, unaware of the goddess's presence in their lives. In 1804, shortly before the Caribbean island of Saint Domingue is renamed Haiti, a group of women gather to bury a stillborn baby.

The second narrative thread is a portrayal of the library’s contemporary functions, purposes, and departments. Eventually, the author writes, the investigation resulted in no charges, with no answers on its origins, and with no clear indication of Harry Peak’s guilt or innocence. She outlines how the fire progressed, the science associated with both the fire itself and the investigation into its causes, and how that investigation ended up focusing on Harry Peak, an aspiring actor who was seen in and around the library by several different people at different times on the day of the fire, and who confessed to friends that he had set it. The first, recounted in a journalistic, research-based style, is the story of the 1986 fire that virtually destroyed the Los Angeles Central Library. Throughout the book, the author entwines a number of narrative and thematic threads. The narrative is a blend of objective investigation, subjective commentary, and memoir, each chapter beginning with a list of book titles that are relevant to that chapter’s content. The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Orlean, Susan. Rilke was one of the most significant poets in the German language his work often focuses on an individual’s yearning for communion with one’s innermost self, written at a time when mankind was plagued with nihilistic and chaotic interpretations of the world. He decided to contact an alumnus of the academy, the Austrian poet, Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926). At the turn of the last century, a 19-year-old student at the Military Academy of Vienna, named Franz Kappus, wanted career advice on his impending secondment to the armed forces, as well as a literary critique on a handful of poems he had recently composed. Agent: Marlene Stringer, the Stringer Literary Agency. The story moves at a pace that will keep readers intrigued and rooting for Charlotte, but too many subplots-including the love triangle at the novel’s core-are left untidy by the end. Diener entwines mystery and romance within this 19th-century historical thriller. When Lord Durnham comes to London to investigate, Charlotte’s personal connections and class-bridging status place her in the center of the unfolding drama. During a growing recession, gold guineas begin mysteriously disappearing by the ton. When Charlotte is inadvertently caught up in a national conspiracy involving Napoleon, she must make use of this dual status on the streets of London. She now straddles two worlds, enjoying a life of affluence, yet forever tied to her humble roots and Luke Bracken, the man who lifted her from destitution. Charlotte Raven went from childhood chimney sweep to London high society when good fortune smiled on her at a young age. Diener (Keeper of the King’s Secrets) delivers a rousing read in this stand-alone novel with a hasty final act. It was only when I realised, when I started writing the story, that the main character Oskar would befriend or even fall in love with this monster that I realised that this couldn’t be a werewolf or a blob from outer space or anything - a vampire was the best choice! And then I started to think very hard on how I was going to portray this vampire and what this was going to be, because I’m not a vampire kinda guy!” “Well it wasn’t, because when I started thinking about the story I wasn’t even sure that the ‘monster’, so to speak, was going to be a vampire, I just knew that something terrible from the other side would come to Blackeberg. Was that a deliberate approach, to take these classic monsters and reinvent them? SFX: Let The Right One In concerned a vampire, and your second novel, Handling The Undead, was a different spin on zombies. One wrong move, and her cousin will step in to usurp her place as the Scarlet Gang’s heir.

OUR VIOLENT ENDS CHLOE GONG || NOVEM★★★☆☆ *Contains spoilers for book 1, These Violent Delights. So, today I’m here to review Our Violent Ends and give my (unpopular) opinions on why I felt nothing over a book that was very much written to make me feel a lot!! While These Violent Delights took the book community by storm and had me and many other readers falling in love with it, I was sad to find myself experiencing nothing like that with its sequel. And nothing humbles you like a disappointing sequel specifically, one that follows a book you enjoyed! This is in the nature of prologue and all happens in the first few pages, in case you think I’ve just spoiled the story. (FF muses: Why do murder victims in vintage crime so often have strange names? Did Mr and Mrs Dousland not know that if they called their son Fordish, he was quite likely to be done to death at some point? I’m glad my parents called me FictionFan – a name that I am confident will never show up as a murder victim in any book!) Naturally, the jury believes Laura and she is acquitted. Angelo is an Italian of the servant class, whose English (while considerably better than Laura’s Italian, I imagine) is clumsy enough to cause laughter in court. Laura is a demure middle-class Englishwoman of good birth and education. Whoever is telling the truth, the fact is that the Chianti flask could not be found the next day and has never turned up. The whole case hinges on a Chianti flask – the couple’s Italian servant says he put a half-full flask on the tray for his master’s supper before going out for his evening off Laura says there was no wine on the tray when she took it up to her husband later that evening. Laura Dousland is being tried for the murder of her elderly, miserly husband, Fordish.
