Overall, I have to say that although the film captured my imagination and I absolutely loved the costumes, the book is, by and large, better, both worldview-wise and for learning about life in 1860s Wisconsin. ![]() ![]() This story came to life for me via the television screen and later through the pages of the Newbery-Award-winning book by Carol Ryrie Brink. It’s the story of a redheaded, spirited girl growing up in 1860s Wisconsin where she and her family work and play together and learn what is important to them. Lived by a grandmother and passed down over the years, it’s a story that beats with real life. ![]()

But what’s fascinating is that some of the things Amanda starts to do while being possessed, are things that to a degree, if ishe had a bit of a push, she might be persuaded to do, possessed or not, such as the first chapter where obscene messages are left on her boss’s desk.Īs the story progresses and the possession takes a stronger hold, it drives Amanda into more and more acts of sex and violence and out of character behaviour. ![]() It focuses on the woman, Amanda, who seems to have a good life, a husband and good career and then shows how it can all be taking away by a spirit or demon over time.

The politics of story in Victorian social fiction. While industrial relations serve as a focal point in Gaskell’s text, North and South. When she becomes involved in a strike at a mill owned by John Thornton, Margaret literally and symbolically acts as a mediator, precipitating what critics have described as North and South’s case for “new models of class relations” (Bodenheimer 1991). Catapulted into the noisy, smoky, and constantly moving world of the textile industry, Margaret’s prejudices about the brash and ungenteel north are initially confirmed but then upended. ![]() The narrative follows the physical and philosophical journey of Gaskell’s protagonist, Margaret Hale, from the south of England to the north – from a grand house in Harley Street, London, and then her childhood home, a country parsonage in Helstone, Hampshire – to Milton, in the bleak-sounding county of Darkshire. ![]() Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South was her fourth novel, serialized in Household Words from 1854 to 1855 and published in two volumes in 1855. ![]() 5/19/2023 0 Comments Still like a frog![]() ![]() My daughter is twenty-one now and still does the exercise. There were no thoughts in her belly, only her breath, which moved her belly with its gentle rise and fall. ![]() But then I realized that if she paid less heed to the troublesome thoughts that kept popping into her head and slowly shifted her attention from her head down to her belly, she might finally calm down. Relaxation exercises, bedtime stories, a hot bath, an irritable admonition to "go to sleep like everyone else"-nothing worked. She kept getting out of bed, kept awake by all the crazy thoughts that were churning around in her head: about Tim, who did not want to play with her anymore about the goldfish floating belly-up in its bowl about somebody under the bed who was sure to murder her. Young as she was, she often asked me: "When your body wants to sleep but your head says no, how do you get to sleep?" Sometimes she would still be awake at ten. At the age of five, my daughter had trouble falling asleep. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rawiri positions Emilienne’s domestic problems in the context of her extended family, as it is revealed that Joseph’s mother, Eyang-who resides with the couple-dislikes Emilienne and is plotting for her husband to divorce her and marry his mistress. Emilienne becomes determined to overcome her infertility in order to compensate for the loss of her daughter and save her marriage. ![]() Meanwhile, the loss of their primary reason for staying together exacerbates the distance and antagonism between Emilienne and her husband, Joseph. Devastated, Emilienne blames herself for taking her only child for granted during her struggles to have a second one. Tragedy strikes when on the same day that Emilienne has experienced yet another miscarriage-which is vividly described in the opening of the novel-her only daughter, Rékia, goes missing and is found brutally murdered. However, subsequent pregnancies over the next decade end in miscarriage and she realizes that her husband is having affairs with other women. In the first year of her marriage, she gave birth to a daughter. Emilienne defied the expectations of her family and in-laws by marrying a man she met in college who does not belong to the same tribe as her family. ![]() In her third novel, The Fury and Cries of Women, she focuses on the maladies faced in marriage and motherhood by an educated African woman. Angèle Rawiri holds the distinction of being the author of the first novel to be published by a Gabonese writer. ![]() 5/19/2023 0 Comments Chrysalis by S.E. Harmon![]() Christian barely has time to grasp that when Gray also tells him that Chris is the one who left, and although he never said why, it’s clear Gray believes it’s because Chris was cheating and wanted to be with someone else. Gray continues to visit him, but Christian is confused by the coolness and distance between them, and he’s stunned when Gray finally, and not without some bitterness, tells him they broke up over four years earlier. When Gray finally comes to see him, he tells the man that his name Christian Cross – but that doesn’t ring any bells or bring anything back. The one thing he can remember is the name of his boyfriend – Grayson Laurie, a doctor at the hospital. A man wakes in a hospital bed after almost dying from a gunshot wound to the head, and has absolutely no idea who he is, or who wants him dead. Please be aware that Chrysalis ends inconclusively and that the story continues in the second book, Cross, which I believe will be released in audio in late August. Harmon in the past and even though the narrator is new-to-me, I decided to give the audiobook version a go. ![]() I liked the sound of the storyline of Chrysalis, book one in The Formicary duo, so as I’ve enjoyed books by S.E. ![]() ![]() ![]() A brief respite of apprehension takes place until a evil-natured Lion Tamer arrives at the Carnival and, against all possible odds, calamity strikes again.Īnother clever ruse!

After leaving Heimlich Hospital and Hal the archivist behind, the self-sustaining Baudelaire travel to Caligari Carnival a remote location where they meet Madame Lulu, a totally legit know-it-all fortune-teller. ![]() 5/19/2023 0 Comments After the fire by will hill![]() Moonbeam’s parents joined the Lord’s Legion when she was very young. Perhaps she is visualising an early memory of her life before living in the community. She picks up a paintbrush and creates scenes of a small house by the sea. The teenager is unable to speak about the disaster where many people died. In the aftermath of the destruction of the Legion’s compound, Moonbeam is recovering in a Secure Unit in Odessa, Texas. It is not clear how her family of Brothers and Sisters – the Lord’s Legion community – reached this devastating and tragic crisis. Coming to the book raw and without preconceptions I was quickly immersed in an intense atmosphere of fear, suspicion and confusion. The disjointed memories of survivor Moonbeam are filled with gunshots and burning fire. I picked up After the Fire without reading the blurb or having prior knowledge of its subject. ![]() ![]() “The things I’ve seen are burned into me, like scars that refuse to fade”. ![]() 5/19/2023 0 Comments Once upon the end by james riley![]() ![]() If Jin does find the Last Knight and bring him to the Golden King, why, that could doom the entire fairy-tale world.

What Lena and Jin don’t know is how close the Golden King’s plans are to coming together, between his dark magic and his horrible Faceless knights. ![]() At least the king only has two wishes left, one of which is for Jin to go to the Cursed City and capture its protector, the Last Knight-one of Lena’s closest friends. In Jin’s case, it’s the power-hungry Golden King. Someone who knows not to judge by appearances is Jin, a young genie currently serving one thousand and thirty-eight years of genie training that requires him to fulfill the wish of whoever holds his magical ring. Fortunately, Lena has friends down in the Cursed City who understand that looking different doesn’t make her less of a giant. Once Upon the End is written by James Riley and published by Aladdin. But hiding who she is has always felt wrong, even though she knows the other giants might not accept her. Lena has kept the fact that she’s a tiny giant secret, using magic to grow when out in the giant village. Five and a half feet might seem pretty tall for a twelve-year-old, but it’s not when your parents are giants. ![]() |
