If pushed to choose one standout, for me it is Favel Parrett’s ‘Lebanon’, which in its three pages manages to convey more emotion than some stories do in 300 ... This beautiful meditation on loss and belonging evokes the Australian tyranny of distance and is a fine example what the short-story form can achieve.’ —The Australian ‘Perfect fodder for a Sunday arvo on the couch, these charming, funny, touching short stories from well-known Australian female writers are what winter was made for.’ —Cosmopolitan ‘A wonderful selection ... the strength of the collection is that it doesn’t define the Australian woman writer as a particular situation and includes writers from various social and cultural backgrounds.’ —Artshub

Book Synopsis A Hundred Small Lessons by : Ashley Hay
Download or read book A Hundred Small Lessons written by Ashley Hay and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the richly intertwined narratives of two women from different generations, Ashley Hay, known for her “elegant prose, which draws warm and textured portraits as it celebrates the web of human stories” (New York Times Book Review) weaves an intricate, bighearted tale of the many small decisions—the invisible moments—that come to make a life. “Readers who loved the quiet introspection of Anita Shreve’s The Pilot’s Wife and Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge will enjoy the detailed emotional journeys of Hay’s characters. Their stories will linger long after the final page is turned” (Library Journal). When Elsie Gormley falls and is forced to leave her Brisbane home of sixty-two years, Lucy Kiss and her family move in, eager to make the house their own. Still, Lucy can’t help but feel that she’s unwittingly stumbled into an entirely new life—new house, new city, new baby—and she struggles to navigate the journey from adventurous lover to young parent. In her nearby nursing facility, Elsie traces the years she spent in her beloved house, where she too transformed from a naïve newlywed into a wife and mother, and eventually, a widow. Gradually, the boundary between present and past becomes more porous for her, and for Lucy—because the house has secrets of its own, and its rooms seem to share with Lucy memories from Elsie’s life. Luminous and deeply affecting, A Hundred Small Lessons is a “lyrically written portrayal” (BookPage, Top Pick) of what it means to be human, and how a place can transform who we are. It’s about a house that becomes much more than a home, and the shifting identities of mother and daughter; father and son. Above all else, this is a story of the surprising and miraculous ways that our lives intersect with those who have come before us, and those who follow.
Download or read book Dying Wishes written by Anitha Krishnan and published by Dream Pedlar Publications. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *** 2023 Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize Finalist *** When I was seven, my mother died. I struck a bargain with the Gods to bring her back to life. For thirteen years now, I have served as a Harbinger of Death, coaxing dying wishes out of mortals so that the God of Death may grant them moksha, liberation from the cycles of birth and death. The man about to die this evening claims he has nothing to offer me. He is dying a content man, a rarity in our world. But when the God of Death arrives to lead his soul away, the man changes his mind about dying and flees, surreptitiously planting on me an enigma. I only know I cannot trust any God with this secret. And that I will pay an unbearable price for this concealment. Yet again, I underestimate how savagely the Gods can wound me. Set in Burlington, Ontario, this contemporary fantasy novel weaves Hindu mythology and South Indian folklore into a quest for belonging across different worlds – the World of Mortals and the World of Gods, India and Canada, the past and the present, the world outside and the one within. It is an offering to lovers of whimsical worlds and heartbreaking prose, and to anyone yearning to simply belong.

From the moment Anna receives the royal invitation to teach the King's children, she is thrust into a world of customs and rituals that are foreign to her.

As Anna and the King get to know each other, they discover a forbidden attraction that threatens to upend everything they know. Their love is both powerful and dangerous, as they must navigate the disapproval of society, the Queen's jealousy, and the King's own inner turmoil. Through it all, they remain committed to each other, even as their circumstances become increasingly dire. Love Reigns is a testament to the enduring power of love and the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming odds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While in Skagit County Jail in 2011, I was writing songs and the cops (having said before they needed me to be done with that) planted a letter within my personal belongings and I saw it when I got my folder back days later. The letter said, “You will need to ask the deputy to see your police reports.” When I showed it to the deputy, he said, “We don't use those.” I really think that was their way of making me stop writing songs and making art that depicts the system as failing and society as wrong. After finishing this poem, the deputy came by and went “Hmph” when he saw me writing! Well, here goes nothing.

Book Synopsis The Devil and the River by : R.J. Ellory
Download or read book The Devil and the River written by R.J. Ellory and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this historical crime thriller from a “master of the genre”, a dead body reopens a 20 year old murder case, triggering a detective’s PTSD. On a perfect summer evening in 1954, sixteen-year-old Nancy Denton walked into the woods of her hometown of Whytesburg, Mississippi. She was never seen again. Two decades later, Sheriff John Gaines witnesses a harrowing discovery: A young woman has been unearthed from the riverbank, her body perfectly preserved, yet she bears evidence of a brutal ritualistic killing. Nancy has come home at last, but her return does not bring closure to her family, or to the citizens of Whytesburg. What really happened to the beautiful and vivacious Nancy? And why do her friends refuse to talk? As Gaines closes in on the truth, he is forced to not only confront his own demons, but to unearth secrets that have long remained hidden. And that truth, so much darker than he could ever have imagined, may be the one thing that finally destroys him. “Near-poetic . . . the kind [of thriller] that will give the reader chills as he realizes he’s reading an exploration into the mystery that is the human mind, pointing out that real-life devils live among us.” —New York Journal of Books “Voodoo and murders and gothically imposing southern dynasties?what’s not to like? Genuine chills, fearsomely speedy page-turning, and real humor [make for] an enjoyable read.” —Observer “A southern-gothic thriller in the tradition of William Faulkner. Readers will find themselves immersed in a decaying and disturbing atmosphere . . . a powerful read for fans of James Ellroy and Andrew Vachss.” —Booklist
Download or read book Book of Love written by Erin Satie and published by Little Phrase. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She’s trying to make ends meet. He’s out for a bit of fun. Cordelia is busy, focused, worried about the future of her fledgling bookbinding business. When a handsome man stops her on the street to pester her with questions, she gives him the consideration he deserves: none. That handsome man happens to be the Duke of Stroud, and he finds Cordelia’s hostility hilarious. He gives chase, if only for the pleasure of provoking her again. He thinks life is a game. She doesn’t play around. Within days of meeting Cordelia, Stroud sets a marching band on a matchmaking mama, defaces a local monument, and ropes Cordelia into a round of his favorite game. In that same time, Cordelia stitches together the complete works of Mary Wollstonecraft, enthusiastically devotes herself to a petition demanding expanded legal rights for married women, and beats Stroud at his own game. She defies all expectations. So does he. Most people dismiss Stroud as a fool—himself included. When Cordelia sees past his lighthearted facade, he’s terrified and also... in love? Stroud barges into Cordelia’s life, offering her all the material and sensual temptations she’s learned to do without. She usually has willpower to spare, but turning him down takes all of it, and then some. He’s oddly irresistible. Or maybe they’re perfect for one another.

Download or read book Sit With Yourself written by Khadijah Jumai T. and published by DeepMisti Publication. This book was released on 2024-03-03 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sit with Yourself is a project I wanted to write about after my previous book "What does one do with grief? “ It is a collection of feelings that stays with you and consoles you that you're enough with your being and that you don't need another entity or person to make you feel complete. Sit with yourself means talking to yourself as another. Sitting down with your good characters, insecurities, and bad behaviours and feeling not ashamed by yourself nor disgusted. It's self-love while no one is present. The co-authors have tried their very best to express that feeling and you'll surely love to read it through.
