Download or read book Iris and Ruby written by Rosie Thomas and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author “writes with ravishing sensuality” in this saga of a wartime love that reverberates through three generations of women (The Times, London). The unexpected arrival of her willful teenage granddaughter, Ruby, brings life and disorder to eight-two-year-old Iris Black’s old house in Cairo. Ruby, driven by her fraught relationship with her own mother to run away from England, is seeking refuge with the grandmother she hasn’t seen for years. An unlikely bond develops between them, as Ruby helps Iris record her fading memories of the glittering, cosmopolitan Cairo of World War II—and of her one true love whom she lost to the ravages of conflict. This long-ago love has shaped Iris’s life, and, as becomes increasingly apparent, those of her daughter and her granddaughter. And it is to affect them all, again, in ways they could not have imagined. “[Thomas’s] evocation of the wartime Cairo has all the raffish, glittering brittleness of life on the edge . . . Touches on the varieties and nuances of love between men and women, and the power of family relationships to enhance and destroy lives.” —Elizabeth Buchan, Daily Mail “The pairing of these two women, at opposite life stages, shows how the generations can heal one another while discovering more about themselves . . . Lovely to read.” —Historical Novel Society “[A] brilliant tale. Rosie Thomas is a writer whose talent shines with every page. I was lost immediately as the pages began turning and the story swallowed me up whole and took me along the two women’s journeys.” —Urban Book Reviews

Book excerpt: The beloved, bestselling author delivers “an epic tale . . . A complicated entanglement of family secrets, love during wartime and dangerous liaisons” (Red Magazine). “Sorting through her parents’ possessions after their deaths, Mair Ellis discovers a Kashmir shawl that once belonged to her Welsh grandmother, Nerys Watkins. Nestled within the folds of this exquisite handwoven piece is an envelope containing a single lock of hair. Curiosity drives Mair to trace the history of the shawl, a quest that takes her from Wales to India. As she pieces together her grandmother’s past, the two women’s stories intertwine, transporting the reader between the Kashmir of WWII and the present day. The bulk of the novel belongs to Nerys, a missionary’s wife whose undemonstrative husband urges her to spend the winter in Srinigar with a friend while he spreads Christianity in remote settlements. Nerys is forever changed in this romantic city, blossoming in an illicit affair while being swept up in the dangerous unraveling of another’s. The consequences resurface nearly seven decades later, leaving Mair with a life-altering decision. An avid traveler and thorough researcher, Thomas brings the flavors and colors of India to life with vivid detail and develops characters so real one feels a kinship. An engrossing, intelligent, and satisfying read.” —Booklist (starred review) “Mystery, intrigue, a great love, passion, and a terrible sorrow all come together to make The Kashmir Shawl a very touching and satisfying read.” —Barbara Taylor Bradford “A spellbinding tale . . . Beautifully written, honest and compassionate.” —Daily Express “A superbly written novel, marvelously descriptive and especially evocative of the war years . . . A gorgeous treat.” —Choice

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Washington Post KidsPost Summer Book Club Read Twelve-year-old Ruby Moon Hayes does not want her new classmates to ask about her father. She does not want them to know her mother has been arrested. And she definitely does not want to make any friends. Ruby just wants to stay as silent and invisible as a new moon in the frozen sky. She and her mother won’t be staying long in Vermont anyway, and then things can go back to the way they were before everything went wrong. But keeping to herself isn’t easy when Ahmad Saleem, a Syrian refugee, decides he’s her new best friend. Or when she meets “the Bird Lady,” a recluse named Abigail who lives in a ramshackle shed near Ruby’s house. Before long Ahmad and Abigail have become Ruby’s friends—and she realizes there is more to their stories than everyone knows. As ugly rumors begin to swirl around the people Ruby loves, she must make a choice: break her silence, or risk losing everything that’s come to mean so much to her. Ruby in the Sky is a story of the walls we hide behind, and the magic that can happen when we’re brave enough to break free.

Book excerpt: No one likes a rebellious captive. I learned that the hard way. I've been abducted from earth and cruelly tormented for my fighting spirit until I learned that the only thing that would keep me safe is to be sweet and calm and agreeable. It's what keeps me alive. When I'm rescued by space pirates, they tell me I'm safe. I'm told I can be myself again. I don't believe them, of course. I certainly don't believe Alyvos, the muscle of the pirate ship. Everyone says that he like nothing more than a good fight, but to me, he's kind and protective. How can I fear someone who holds me tenderly through the night and has fuzzy skin?

Book excerpt: A woman faces life-changing decisions in post–World War I London from the “master storyteller” and bestselling author of The Illusionists (Cosmopolitan). In Daughter of the House, Rosie Thomas returns to the marvelous Wix family. Nancy Wix, daughter of the stage impresarios Eliza and Devil, must find a way to keep London’s Palmyra theatre afloat, and to entertain audiences who have lost husbands and sons in the First World War. Nancy is a born performer, but she is set apart—even from her beloved brothers—by her psychic gifts. She must harness her troubling powers to keep her family and the theatre intact. It is a dangerous path and a lonely one, but Nancy’s bold choices lead her to love, and to the recognition of what it takes to become a modern woman. As another war begins to threaten the world, she is forced into a final, fateful confrontation with her demons, and must marshal both her ingenuity and her mysterious talents to fight for the survival of friendship, independence, and family. “Brilliantly bring[s] to life the end of the music hall era and the rise of spiritualism in the 1920s. I highly recommend this smart, gothic, and romantic page-turner.” —Historical Novel Society “[Thomas] creates a dynamic protagonist involved in an uncertain romance, and her other principal characters are equally well-rounded.” —Kirkus Reviews “A long, appealing yarn of a story, Daughter of the House is a sequel to the author’s earlier The Illusionists but is eminently readable as a stand-alone novel.” —Booklist
