Book Synopsis The Waters of Eternal Youth by : Donna Leon
Download or read book The Waters of Eternal Youth written by Donna Leon and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-fifth mystery in the New York Times–bestselling series “is cause for celebration. . . . Leon brilliantly exposes the corrupt world of Venice” (Bay Area Reporter). At a fundraising dinner for a Venetian charity, a wealthy and aristocratic patroness asks Brunetti if he will investigate the fifteen-year-old attempted drowning of her granddaughter, which left the girl irreparably brain damaged. Brunetti’s not sure what to do, but out of a mixture of curiosity, pity, and a willingness to fulfill the wishes of a guilt-wracked older woman—who happens to be his mother-in-law’s best friend—he agrees. Brunetti soon finds himself unable to let the case rest, if indeed there is a case. Awash in the haunting story of a woman trapped in a damaged perpetual childhood and the rhythms and concerns of contemporary Venetian life, from historical preservation to housing to new waves of African migrants, The Waters of Eternal Youth is another wonderful addition to this series. “Donna Leon’s Venetian mysteries never disappoint . . . A bittersweet story that makes us appreciate Brunetti’s philosophical take on the indignities, insanities, and cruelties of life.” —The New York Times Book Review “A new Brunetti adventure is always worth celebrating. . . . In a marvelous and moving last scene, we glimpse a moment of almost transcendent beauty that makes us realize again how important this series is to our reading lives.” —Booklist (starred review) “Leon’s latest novel marks the 25th anniversary of her wonderfully atmospheric series. . . . A sweet poignancy flows through Leon’s narrative like the faint smell of chrysanthemums bordering the ancient palazzos.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Only a few heroes have the power to stop them. Among them, a group of friends whose fate and the gods’ whims have united in immortality. Follow Atreides, Max, and Fabian as they battle their inner demons and try to save the world and their loved ones at the same time. Bound By Water She can steal anything. Even his heart… Atreides I’m the last merman shifter alive. I’m also a famous painter, richer than Croesus, and not in a hurry to find a suitable mate. Someday, I’ll secure my heritage. For now, my life is perfect as it is. And did I mention that in my spare time I help the police recover stolen art? Bringing to justice those thieves gives me a special pleasure, and I look forward to my next mission. Ariel I’m an art thief and exceedingly good at what I do but promised never to steal again. And if my father hadn’t accumulated huge debts with the wrong crowd, I would’ve kept my word. So here I am at night, outside the medieval castle I intend to rob when this absolute hunk of a man emerges from the sea. And what do you know, he walks up to me and kisses me. It’s not a regular kiss either, but the stuff of legend. I kid you not. I’m so shaken, I almost forget about the heist. Too bad there’s a werewolf biker gang after me, and I have no time for romance… The Alpha's Gift The playboy dragon shifter, the orphan baby, and the nanny who will change their lives Max As a dragon-shifter and one of the youngest billionaires in Seattle, I work hard during the day and party equally hard at night. I’m fastidious about my habits and don’t like setbacks of any kind. Especially when they come in the form of a baby girl abandoned at my doorstep. The sooner I take care of this problem, the better it is, so I can go back to the club. There’re two gorgeous blondes waiting for me to rock their night… Vivienne My brother wakes me at three in the morning because his boss, Mr. Rich & Hateful, has an emergency. He makes it sound like a life or death situation, so of course, I run to the penthouse. And what do I find there, besides my brother and the billionaire jerk? The most beautiful baby girl I’ve ever seen. She’s so small and just perfect, and I fall in love with her at first sight. Too bad she’s probably related to Mr. Prize—the man is too handsome for his own good, and I can’t stand the sight of him. I’ll endure his presence, though, for the baby’s sake. Hopefully, we don’t end up killing each other… Renegade Vampire Princesses & Monsters: Not your mother’s fairy tale Stella Once upon a time, I was a princess, a real one, but the fairy tale is over.

Download or read book Revelator written by Daryl Gregory and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • The dark, gripping tale of a 1930’s family in the remote hills of the Smoky Mountains, their secret religion, and the daughter who turns her back on their mysterious god—from the acclaimed author of Spoonbenders. “Gods and moonshine in the Great Depression, written with a tenderness and brutality … this is as good as novels get.” —Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good Indians In 1933, nine-year-old Stella is left in the care of her grandmother, Motty, in the backwoods of Tennessee. The mountains are home to dangerous secrets, and soon after she arrives, Stella wanders into a dark cavern where she encounters the family's personal god, an entity known as the Ghostdaddy. Years later, after a tragic incident that caused her to flee, Stella—now a professional bootlegger—returns for Motty's funeral, and to check on the mysterious ten-year-old girl named Sunny that Motty adopted. Sunny appears innocent enough, but she is more powerful than Stella could imagine—and she’s a direct link to Stella's buried past and her family's destructive faith. Haunting and wholly engrossing, summoning mesmerizing voices and giving shape to the dark, Revelator is a southern gothic tale for the ages.
Download or read book My Brilliant Sister written by Amy Brown and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Stella Miles Franklin took on the world, her beloved sister Linda led a short, domestic life as a wife, mother and sister. In a remarkable, genre-bending debut novel Amy Brown thrillingly reimagines those two lives – and her own – to explore and explode the contradictions embedded in brilliant careers and a woman’s place in the world. Sliding Doors meets Wifedom. Stella Miles Franklin’s autobiographical novel My Brilliant Career launched one of the most famous names in Australian letters. Funny, bold, often biting about its characters, the novel and its young author had a lot in common. Miles went on to live a large, fiercely independent and bohemian life of travel, art and freedom. Not so her beloved sister Linda. Quiet, contained, conventional, Linda was an inversion of Stella. A family peacemaker who married the man Stella would not, bore a son and died of pneumonia at 25. In this reflective, witty and revealing novel, Amy Brown rescues Linda, setting her in counterpoint with Stella, and with the lives of two contemporary women: Ida, a writer whose writing life is on hold as she teaches and raises her young daughter; and Stella, a singer-songwriter who has sacrificed everything for a career, now forcibly put on hold. Binding the two is the novella that Linda might have written to her sister Stella – a brilliant alternative vision of My Brilliant Career. Innovative and involving, My Brilliant Sister is an utterly convincing (and hilarious) portrait of Miles Franklin and a moving, nuanced exploration of the balance women still have to strike between careers and family lives. It gives a fresh take on one of Australia’s most celebrated writers and an insight into life now.
