Book excerpt: When a national tragedy and a scientific breakthrough provoke a nation to abandon long held traditions, it is clear that something has departed from everyday life, but what exactly is missing? 'The Fading Smile' is a political thriller which explores an alternative future centred around the fear of terrorism, rampant consumerism and ideological suppression through the experiences of a journalist, a mother and an adrenalin junkie. What secrets do multinational corporations want to hide from an unsuspecting public? Why are hitmen trying to silence those who seek alternative perspectives on the world around and what does an art-loving spymaster have to do with the conspiracy he is seeking to expose? Three separate seekers after the truth set off on their own quests to find answers to what has taken place only to encounter sinister threats and an official conspiracy. In the midst of it all, stands an enigmatic young lady who appears to hold the key to discovering what has been lost, but who is she working for and what is behind an intriguing offer to make peace with old enemies?

Download or read book Red Comet written by Heather Clark and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 1185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • The highly anticipated biography of Sylvia Plath that focuses on her remarkable literary and intellectual achievements, while restoring the woman behind the long-held myths about her life and art. “One of the most beautiful biographies I've ever read." —Glennon Doyle, author of #1 New York Times Bestseller, Untamed With a wealth of never-before-accessed materials, Heather Clark brings to life the brilliant Sylvia Plath, who had precocious poetic ambition and was an accomplished published writer even before she became a star at Smith College. Refusing to read Plath’s work as if her every act was a harbinger of her tragic fate, Clark considers the sociopolitical context as she thoroughly explores Plath’s world: her early relationships and determination not to become a conventional woman and wife; her troubles with an unenlightened mental health industry; her Cambridge years and thunderclap meeting with Ted Hughes; and much more. Clark’s clear-eyed portraits of Hughes, his lover Assia Wevill, and other demonized players in the arena of Plath’s suicide promote a deeper understanding of her final days. Along with illuminating readings of the poems themselves, Clark’s meticulous, compassionate research brings us closer than ever to the spirited woman and visionary artist who blazed a trail that still lights the way for women poets the world over.

Book Synopsis What If Rainbows Were Your Shadows? by : Anusha Veluswamy
Download or read book What If Rainbows Were Your Shadows? written by Anusha Veluswamy and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What If Rainbows Were Your Shadows?, a debut collection of poetry is a gentle blend of stark realties and dreamlike fantasy, effortlessly echoing our lives. The collection of poetry illustrates our strong eternal ties to living and non- living things, to love, the visceral divine intuition and the sweet drama of nature. The poems are a curious mix of earnest wishes, unspoken prayers, dreamy love stories along with the play and drama of a fired imagination. Some of the characters in the book escort you to a world of robust imagination, like the ‘Dreamcatcher’ who plays an intense female warrior or the Moon that plays a Queen. As you stroll across the book you will also meet a grasshopper and a snake, a strange couple to be locked in a love so naïve. The collection of poems in the section called a ‘Tribe of warriors’ explores the ecstasy and insufficiency of motherhood. Here the poet touches upon some important topics such as grief, miscarriage, the joys of raising children and the struggle to find the ground beneath the tall mess of motherhood. What If Rainbows Were Your Shadows?, has been a vent-space, quiet-space and heal-space through all the treacherous learning curves, the joyful love and everything in between for the poet. She deeply cherishes these words that often gave her relief, comfort and held her in a quiet calm as she marched towards healing. It is only her hope that the book offers the same sense of quiet hope, joy and healing to her readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hank Rivera, one-time activist and now full-time construction worker, has just been evicted from his home in Waikiki and is forced to move to the Waianae coast. While in the midst of moving, Hank and his wife, Kanani, are approached by a college student researching the early years of Hawaii's modern civil rights movement, which culminated in the rigorous protests surrounding the bombing of Kahoolawe in 1976. Hesitant at first, Hank and Kanani agree to talk about the past and their role in the movement. Vivid and sometimes painful memories surface, causing both of them to question their feelings of love and loyalty--not only for each other, but for their heritage. Through the voices of Hank, Kanani, and others, Rodney Morales tells a thoroughly contemporary story of Hawaii--one that addresses the realities of asserting one's culture in a multicultural world.
