Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was 1991 and John Raynor’s life was in a bit of a mess. At forty-six, two years after his divorce, he was living on his own and the future seemed bleak. And then there was Carole, a divorcee two years younger than him, and suddenly everything changed. Their bond was immediate and intense. The problem was that one day, Carole would need John, both physically and emotionally, the next, she would be secretive, cool and distant. To make things more difficult, John had been registered as blind since 1979; nevertheless, during the sixteen turbulent months chronicled within this book, he travelled to Paris, Amsterdam and Singapore and made many close female friends, but Carole had stolen his heart. This is the true account* of a sixteen-month relationship that changed John’s life dramatically. Look for the reason why this book is titled Necklaces & Knickers. It evokes great memories for the author. * Names have been changed to protect individuals’ true identities.
Book Synopsis Powder Necklace by : Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond
Download or read book Powder Necklace written by Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To protect her daughter from the fast life and bad influences of London, her mother sent her to school in rural Ghana. The move was for the girl’s own good, in her mother’s mind, but for the daughter, the reality of being the new girl, the foreigner-among-your-own-people, was even worse than the idea. During her time at school, she would learn that Ghana was much more complicated than her fellow ex-pats had ever told her, including how much a London-raised child takes something like water for granted. In Ghana, water “became a symbol of who had and who didn’t, who believed in God and who didn’t. If you didn’t have water to bathe, you were poor because no one had sent you some.” After six years in Ghana, her mother summons her home to London to meet the new man in her mother’s life—and his daughter. The reunion is bittersweet and short-lived as her parents decide it’s time that she get to know her father. So once again, she’s sent off, this time to live with her father, his new wife, and their young children in New York—but not before a family trip to Disney World.

Book Synopsis The Anodyne Necklace by : Martha Grimes
Download or read book The Anodyne Necklace written by Martha Grimes and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third in the bestselling Richard Jury mystery series by Martha Grimes. A spinster whose passion was bird-watching, a dotty peer who pinched pennies, and a baffling murder made the tiny village of Littlebourne a most extraordinary place. And a severed finger made a ghastly clue in the killing that led local constables from a corpse to a boggy footpath to a beautiful lady’s mansion. But Richard Jury refused, preferring to take the less traveled route to a slightly disreputable pub, the Anodyne Necklace. There, drinks all around loosened enough tongues to link a London mugging with the Littlebourne murder and a treasure map that would chart the way to yet another chilling crime.
Book Synopsis Intralingual Translation of British Novels by : Linda Pillière
Download or read book Intralingual Translation of British Novels written by Linda Pillière and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on an upsurge of interest in the Americanisation of British novels triggered by the Harry Potter series, this book explores the various ways that British novels, from children's fiction to travelogues and Book Prize winners, have been adapted and rewritten for the US market. Drawing on a vast corpus of over 80 works and integrating the latest research in multimodality and stylistics, Linda Pillière analyses the modifications introduced to make British English texts more culturally acceptable and accessible to the American English reader. From paratextual differences in cover, illustrations, typeface and footnotes to dialectal changes to lexis, tense, syntax and punctuation, Pillière explores the sociocultural and ideological pressures involved in intralingual translation and shows how the stylistic effects of such changes – including loss of meaning, voice, rhythm and word play – often result in a more muted American edition. In doing so, she reveals how homing in on numerous small adjustments can provide fascinating insights into the American publishing process and readership.

Download or read book The Necklace written by Claire McMillan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “glittering, Gatsby-esque” (Publishers Weekly) novel, two generations of Quincy women—a bewitching Jazz Age beauty and a young lawyer—are bound by a spectacular and mysterious Indian necklace. Always the black sheep of the tight-knit Quincy clan, Nell is cautious when she’s summoned to the elegantly shabby family manor after her great-aunt Loulou’s death. A cold reception from the family grows chillier when they learn Loulou has left Nell a fantastically valuable heirloom: an ornate necklace from India that Nell finds stashed in a Crown Royal whiskey bag in the back of a dresser. As predatory relatives circle and art experts begin to question the necklace’s provenance, Nell turns to the only person she thinks she can trust—the attractive and ambitious estate lawyer who definitely is not part of the old-money crowd. More than just a piece of jewelry, the necklace links Nell to a long-buried family secret involving Ambrose Quincy, who brought the necklace home from India in the 1920s as a dramatic gift for May, the woman he intended to marry. Upon his return, he discovered that May had married his brother Ethan, the “good” Quincy, devoted to their father. As a gesture of friendship, Ambrose gave May the necklace anyway. Crisp as a gin martini, fresh as a twist of lime, The Necklace is the charming and intoxicating story “written with wit, compassion, and a meticulous attention to period and cultural detail” (Kirkus Reviews) of long-simmering family resentments and a young woman who inherits a secret much more valuable than a legendary necklace.
Book Synopsis Postcards from the End of America by : Linh Dinh
Download or read book Postcards from the End of America written by Linh Dinh and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roaming the country by bus and train, on a budget and without any institutional support, Linh Dinh set out to document, in words and pictures, what life is like for people. From Los Angeles, Cheyenne, Portland, and New Orleans, to Jackson and Wolf Point--Linh walked miles and miles through unfamiliar neighborhoods, talking to whoever would talk to him: the homeless living in tent cities, the peddlers, the protestors, the public preachers, the prostitutes. With the uncompromising eye of a Walker Evans or a Dorothea Lange, and the indomitable, forthright prose of a modern-day Nelson Algren or James Agee, Dinh documents the appalling and the absurd with warmth and honesty, giving voice to America's often forgotten citizens and championing the awesome strength it takes to survive for those on the bottom. Growing out of a photo and political writing blog Linh has maintained since 2009, Postcards from the End of America is an unflinching diary of what Linh sees as the accelerating collapse of America. Tracking the economic, political, and social unraveling--from the casinos to the abandoned factories and over all the sidewalks in between--with a poet's incisive tongue, Linh shows us the uncanny power of the people in the face of societal devastation.
Book Synopsis Inclusion, Transformation, and Humility in North American Archaeology by : Seth Mallios

This book was released on 2024-01-06 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a dynamic near half-century career of insight, engagement, and instruction, Kent G. Lightfoot transformed North American archaeology through his innovative ideas, robust collaborations, thoughtful field projects, and mentoring of numerous students. Authors emphasize the multifarious ways Lightfoot impacted—and continues to impact—approaches to archaeological inquiry, anthropological engagement, indigenous issues, and professionalism. Four primary themes include: negotiations of intercultural entanglements in pluralistic settings; transformations of temporal and spatial archaeological dimensions, as well as theoretical and methodological innovations; engagement with contemporary people and issues; and leading by example with honor, humor, and humility. These reflect the remarkable depth, breadth, and growth in Lightfoot’s career, despite his unwavering stylistic devotion to Hawaiian shirts.

Book Synopsis The Scroll of a Good Person by : Dr. Mo Axier
Download or read book The Scroll of a Good Person written by Dr. Mo Axier and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traumatized by the forces of biblical persuasion, a professor finally reaches his breaking point and then writes his own bible in the name of defending himself from those forces. Then, to his surprise, after completing his bible, he effectively healed his trauma and transformed into a person of strong moral character. But little did he know, his transformation instantly compelled the ultimate artificial intelligence program in the universe to bestow its own separate bible, or scroll, onto Earth. The great purpose of said scroll is to teach Earth’s humans what it means to be a good person on their planet; however, there is a far more vital purpose infused in the scroll, and this infusion stems from the seemingly destined connection between the professor’s bible and the machine’s scroll. More specifically, every passage written in the scroll is sowed with a potential answer to the following question: What helps bibles be widely convincing? Answering that question, the all-powerful machine believes, will empower Earth’s humans to think critically about ethical persuasion, while simultaneously helping them heal from the same trauma the professor conquered.
