Book Synopsis The Garden Party by : Grace Dane Mazur
Download or read book The Garden Party written by Grace Dane Mazur and published by Random House. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rehearsal dinner brings together two disparate families in this sparkling, witty novel “This vital novel offers delicious echoes of Virginia Woolf and E. M. Forster, and a touch of A Midsummer Night’s Dream—but its magic is unique. The Garden Party is beautiful and full of life.”—Claire Messud, author of The Burning Girl and The Woman Upstairs The Cohens are wildly impractical intellectuals—academics, activists, and artists. The Barlows are Wall Street Journal–reading lawyers steeped in trusts and copyrights, golf and tennis. The two families are reserved with and wary of each other, but tonight, the evening before the wedding that is supposed to unite them in marriage, they will attempt to set aside their differences over dinner in the garden. As Celia Cohen, the eminent literary critic, sets the table, her husband, Pindar, would much rather be translating ancient recipes for his Babylonian cookbook than hosting this rehearsal dinner. Meanwhile, their son, Adam, the poet (and nervous groom), wonders if there is still time to simply elope. One of Adam’s sisters, Naomi, a passionate but fragile social activist, refuses to leave her room, while Sara, scorpion biologist turned folklore writer, sits up on the roof mourning an imminent breakup. And Pindar’s elderly mother, Leah, witnesses everything, weaving old memories into the present. The lawyers are early: patriarch Stephen Barlow and his bespangled wife, Philippa, who specializes in estates, along with Philippa’s father, Nathan, hobbled by age and Lyme disease. Then come the Barlow sons William (war crimes), Cameron (intellectual property), and Barnes (the prosecutor), each with desperate wife and precocious offspring. How could their younger siblings—Eliza, the bride, an aspiring veterinarian, and her twin brother, Harry, recently expelled from divinity school—have issued from such a family? Up and down the dinner table, with its twenty-four (or is it twenty-five?) guests, unions are forming and dissolving while Pindar is trying to figure out whether time is really shaped like baklava, and off in the surrounding forest with its ancient pond different sorts of mischief will lead to a complicated series of fiascoes and miracles before the party is over. Set over the course of a single day and night, Grace Dane Mazur’s brilliantly observed novel weaves an irresistible portrayal of miscommunication, secrets, and the power of love. “Lyrical and charming, this comedy of errors is a delightful summer read.”—People

Book Synopsis The Little Gardener by : Emily Hughes
Download or read book The Little Gardener written by Emily Hughes and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrate the tender story The Little Gardener with a beautiful new cover in the updated 2018 edition! There was once a little gardener and his garden meant everything to him. He worked hard, very hard, but he was just too little (or at least he felt he was). In this gentle, beautiful tale, Emily Hughes, the celebrated author of Wild, departs from the larger than life Wild-girl of her debut to pursue a littler than life Gardener, in a story that teaches us just how important it is to persist and try, no matter what the odds. With delicately woven tapestries of illustrated magic, Hughes once again transports us to a world not unlike our own, while still brimming with fantasy and wonder.

Book Synopsis Life Is a Garden Party by : Judy Janowski
Download or read book Life Is a Garden Party written by Judy Janowski and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Is a Garden Party applies God's principles to gardening and nature. Each story is a 2-in-1, beginning with a gardening observation followed by a spiritual application. An observation would be referring to the compost pile as garbage mouth as it consumes almost everything. The spiritual application is "Let your conversation be always full of grace." (Colossians 4:6) May you find inspiration and a few smiles along the way as you read about lessons learned from gardening. The apostle James wrote, "See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains." I don't know if James was a gardener, but I do know gardeners learn what it is to wait patiently. Seeing the miracle within a seed erupt and fruit is worth the lesson in patience. Seeing the damage done by insects teaches patience is still necessary. Patience to defeat each and every one.
