![]() When spring came and there was mist in the air, I thought of crossing the Barrier of Shirakawa into Oku. In autumn I returned to my cottage on the river and swept away the cobwebs. Last year I spent wandering along the seacoast. Many of the men of old died on the road, and I too for years past have been stirred by the sight of a solitary cloud drifting with the wind to ceaseless thoughts of roaming. Those who float away their lives on ships or who grow old leading horses are forever journeying, and their homes are wherever their travels take them. ![]() The years that come and go are also voyagers. ![]() The months and days are the travellers of eternity. ![]() ![]() ![]() Spanning continents and generations, Peach Blossom Spring is a bold and moving look at the history of modern China, told through the story of one family. How can he keep his family safe in this new land when the weight of his history threatens to drag them down? Yet how can Lily learn who she is if she can never know her family’s story? Though his daughter is desperate to understand her heritage, he refuses to talk about his childhood. Years later, Renshu has settled in America as Henry Dao. Relying on little but their wits and a beautifully illustrated hand scroll, filled with ancient fables that offer solace and wisdom, they must travel through a ravaged country, seeking refuge. But with the Japanese army approaching, Meilin and her four year old son, Renshu, are forced to flee their home. It is 1938 in China and, as a young wife, Meilin’s future is bright. ![]() With every misfortune there is a blessing and within every blessing, the seeds of misfortune, and so it goes, until the end of time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Series fans will ride along in anticipation. It all feels less like a self-contained story than a prelude for a dark implosion heading Ethan's way. ![]() Private-eye tropes like decadent upper-crust parties and corrupt cops abound, while sudden action scenes cut through Ethan's hazy, guilt-ridden flashback narration, such as when he smashed a drug pusher's face with a skateboard. Worried he is losing Anna his trusty punk assistant and only friend, finally given her due in a touching origin story Ethan loses himself in weed, old movies, and memories: "after a while, even remembering seemed pointless." Moody washed-out art recalls the cinematic oddities that Ethan and Anna watch in their old movie house headquarters. Destroy All Monsters: A Reckless Book 4. But the mystery plot ends up feeling like background as Ethan traps himself in pained nostalgia. Hired by a Black city councilmember to look into a scuzzy and rich white developer, Ethan is pleased to be sticking it to the Man. But he does pick up a case, and it's a doozie. It's 1988, three years following Friend of the Devil, and Ethan is barely pretending to be a private investigator. Still up for a fight, Brubaker and Phillips's Ethan Reckless is feeling his age in the slow-burning third entry of their Los Angeles noir series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Recipient of the National Book Club Award, the Phillis Wheatley Book Award, and the USA Best Book Award for Best Fiction New York Times Bestselling Author of Range and The Sports GeneĪuthor Talk with Sadeqa Johnson: Award-Winning Author of Yellow Wife WellsĪward Winning TV Host, Celebrity Chef, and Bestselling Cookbook Author of Southern Modified and Southern InspiredĪuthor Talk with David Epstein: Bestselling author of RANGE and THE SPORTS GENE ![]() Southern Inspired: Author Talk with Celebrity Chef Jernard A.

Usually we're not even aware that we experience life through world view colored glasses, but sometimes it becomes disturbingly evident, as when we talk with someone from a culture other than our own, someone who simply doesn't share our basic assumptions about life, the universe, and everything. We view the world through a culturally created conceptual "grid" which helps us to get along and survive, but which doesn't even come close to accounting for the whole of things. As human beings we divide the world up into conceptual categories which we then take to be reality itself. To begin with, here's my own brief explanation/definition of the concept of liminality (and bear in mind that different people invest the term with somewhat different nuances, so this is only a general definition): the world is much larger and more complex than we humans can ever hope to understand. As I pondered this story, two themes really began to jump out at me: first, the centrality of liminal motifs and second, the contrast or conflict between group identity and individual identity. ![]() ![]() I was so taken by the world created that I went straight onto to reading the next book (and the next and the next). Margaret is sharp and has secrets to keep.Ĭourtney Milan does families (and found families) really well and this is no exception. His devotion to his brothers is heart rending, especially as his brothers are both scholars and he hasn’t told them that he can’t read! His reaction, when he found out about Margaret’s deception was wonderfully Ash and not what you’d expect at all. He’s dyslexic, but has worked out how to get around it (very successfully). He’s a good businessman who operates on his instincts. We meet him at the point where he comes in to take over as the next owner of the house Margaret Dalrymple thought was hers. His instincts and ability to work well with numbers gave him an advantage in business.Īsh Turner is ruthless, but everyone likes him. I really liked the portrayal of a hero with dyslexia, partly because Ash worked around his dyslexia so well. I raced through the box set over the Easter weekend. Of all Ash Turners accomplishments, stealing a dukedom from his old enemy is by far the most brazen. ![]() I bought this as a box set after Red Headed Girl from Smart Bitches mentioned it (and I LOVED The Brothers Sinister series). Unveiled Courtney Milan (Author) Description. ![]() ![]() All Eldon sees is people who have been broken by their wishes-dreams crushed, ambitions set aside, hope abandoned-so he embarks on a research project to find out what others have wished for and how they've lived in the aftermath. Eldon's birthday is coming up, and he knows that his mother wants him to wish for such an endless supply of money, but Eldon can't stomach the reason she wants it-to pay doctors in a bootless attempt to save his sister, who is lying brain dead in a Las Vegas hospital and thus outside the reaches of a direct wish for recovery. ![]() So, for instance, a wished-for Madison bank account will be bottomless, but the wisher can't withdraw money from an ATM outside Madison. When folks in Madison, Nevada turn eighteen, they get one wish granted, so long as it doesn't really affect the rest of the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Some grow smarter and closer to God, while others seem to make the same mistakes over again.ĭespite all their differences and disagreements, the Carter House girls continue to grow together, forging a bond that strengthens through hardship. DJ, Eliza, Taylor, Kriti, Rhiannon, and Casey show they have plenty of lessons to learn as the votes roll in. Then, friction grows as a school Homecoming Queen race heats up, turning friends and housemates against one another. The Carter House experiences a shake-up as one of its own returns home after an unnerving disappearing act. Add guys and dating, a little high-school angst, and throw in a Kate Spade bag or two … and you've got The Carter House Girls, Melody Carlson's new chick lit series for young adults!
