Book Synopsis The World of Normal Boys by : K.M. Soehnlein
Download or read book The World of Normal Boys written by K.M. Soehnlein and published by Kensington Publishing Corp.. This book was released on 2001-08-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Lambda Literary Award "This first novel is so eloquent because it is hellbent on collaring the reader and telling him or her the whole passionate story." --Edmund White, author of Our Young Man "This is a rich and unflinching book." --The New York Times Book Review "Extraordinary...an exhilarating experience...that Soehnlein has produced as his first novel a work of such maturity and excellence is little short of astounding." --Fenton Johnson, author of Scissors, Paper, Rock The time is the late 1970s--an age of gas shortages, head shops, and Saturday Night Fever. The place, suburban New Jersey. At a time when the teenagers around him are coming of age, Robin MacKenzie is coming undone. While "normal boys" are into cars, sports, and bullying their classmates, Robin enjoys day trips to New York City with his elegant mother, spinning fantastic tales for her amusement in an intimate ritual he has come to love. He dutifully plays the role of the good son for his meat-and-potatoes father, even as his own mind is a jumble of sexual confusion and painful self-doubt. But everything changes in one, horrifying instant when a tragic accident wakes his family from their middle-American dream and plunges them into a spiral of slow destruction. As his family falls apart day by day, Robin finds himself pulling away from the unquestioned, unexamined life that has been carefully laid out for him. Small acts of rebellion lead to larger questions of what it means to stand on his own. Falling into a fevered triangle with two other outcasts, Todd Spicer and Scott Schatz, Robin embarks on an explosive odyssey of sexual self-discovery that will take him beyond the spring-green lawns of suburbia, beyond the fraying fabric barely holding together his quickly unraveling family, and into a complex future, beyond the world of normal boys. "Karl Soehnlein's stunning first novel reads like a cross between the film American Beauty and Edmund White's A Boy's Own Story." --The Advocate "The World of Normal Boys is a work of authenticity, as relevant to those who lived a similar coming-of-age experience many years ago as it will be to those who are living that experience now." --Bay Area Reporter "An amusingly detailed and largely accurate picture of life in the Jersey 'burbs." --Publishers Weekly "Full of tension and suspense, Soehnlein's well-paced debut novel is a fresh look at one boy's sexual awakening in the 1970s and his journey to find a place where he can fit it." --Booklist

Book excerpt: She dreamed that she was standing on the edge of a cliff with the wind blowing all around her. It swept through her black hair and carried her lavender dress high above her knees. ... She felt immortal and untouchable by everything but God. The skies darkened suddenly, causing a storm with fierce rain and winds. ... The blow of the storm knocked her off the cliff, and she fell aimlessly down the side. Trying to grab hold of anything in her midst, she continued to fall, spinning rapidly to the bottom of the ravine. Out of nowhere came Nathanael; he scooped her up in his arms and placed her safely on the ground. They gazed at each other. She still had a hold of his neck as he leaned in to kiss her. At that moment, she heard her name being called. It echoed from far away, and she turned to face the call. Walking closer and closer, she reached an engulfing darkness as she gradually faded into consciousness. Eighteen-year-old Bianca longs for a break from her boring life in Oklahoma. After meeting Nathanael, a mysterious, handsome young man, at a party one night, Bianca is mesmerized.

She accepts, and upon arriving in New Orleans, Nathanael shows her his deep secret: he is a vampire. Bianca is drawn to his underground world where her grandfather, Moritz, reigns as king of States Coven, but among these ancient people, not everyone is what they seem. Will Bianca escape from the evil clutches of Moritz, or will she fall victim to his powerful control? Discover the answers in Lela Lane's Bloodlines.

And one of Bridei's plans to win the war to come involves the beautiful young Ana. A princess of the Light Isles, she has dwelt as a hostage at the court of Fortriu for most of her young life. Despite being a pawn of fortune, she has bewitched all at court and is dearly loved by Bridei and his queen. But Ana understands her duty. And so she will travel north, to make a strategic marriage with a chieftain she has never seen, in the hopes of gaining an ally on whom Bridei's victory relies. For secrecy's sake, Ana must travel at a soldier's pace, with a small band led by the enigmatic spymaster Faolan. Bridei implores Ana to trust see the good in Faolan...but Ana cannot see beyond his cold competence and killer's eyes. Then, when she arrives at the chieftain Alpin's stronghold in the mysterious Briar Woods, her discomfort and unease increase tenfold, for this is a place of full of secrets and her betrothed is an enigma himself. The more Ana tries to uncover the truth of her new life, the more she discovers a maze of polite diversions that mask deadly lies.

Book Synopsis The Rat Eater by : Anand Ranganathan
Download or read book The Rat Eater written by Anand Ranganathan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I was born on a bloody road. The blood was my mother's. My sisters couldn't find a midwife in time. There was no way my mother could get relief from the upper-caste well, and so they tell me, that my sisters ran to some puddles to fill their little mouths up and then ran back to where my mother was almost dying of pain and then spat out some water on her face and the rest down below on mine. That is how I came into this world.' Someone is disposing of politicians one by one. And the murderer has borrowed from the genius of Agatha Christie. When a local Mumbai politician is found wrapped in a plastic bag behind a park bench, the dashing and capable DIG Ajay Biswas is told to take over the case. Ajay arrives in Mumbai along with his wife Aparajita and soon discovers he is being misled by his Mumbai compatriots who are determined to save their own skin. Someone is deliberately providing false leads; his presence is not wanted. While in Mumbai, Ajay and Aparajita meet up with their old college friend Akhil Sukumar. Akhil and Aparajita have had a tortuous history, and it appears that the one-time lovers now want nothing more than to let bygones be bygones. Easier said. From the barren lands of rural India to the immaculate lawns of Cambridge, The Rat Eater is a book whose uninhibitedness may offend purists as it lays bare a few uncomfortable truths about India-a country entangled in a web of caste, corruption and cover-ups. The privileged flourish at the cost of the oppressed. The price has to be paid, and someone has decided that it needs to be paid in blood.

So reveals Catherine de Medici, the last legitimate descendant of her family’s illustrious line. Expelled from her native Florence, Catherine is betrothed to Henri, son of François I of France.

But in her fortieth year, Catherine is widowed, left alone with six young children in a kingdom torn apart by the ambitions of a treacherous nobility.

Book excerpt: An incomparable beauty. A promise to a king. A portrait that can never be completed. When Emilia Lennox loses everything after her husband’s lands and title are confiscated, her beauty is her best bargaining chip with the only man who can restore their fortunes: King Charles II himself. But the king’s favour comes at a price. He will pardon Emilia’s husband only if she agrees to be his mistress. Torn, Emilia comes up with a condition of her own: she will consent, but not until her portrait hangs among the famed Windsor Beauties, a series commissioned by the Duchess of York to showcase the fairest women in the royal retinue. For Henry Greenhill, ambitious assistant to the court painter, the opportunity to paint Emilia’s portrait is a chance to step out of his master’s shadow. But his sitter proves as evasive as she is beautiful, and with barely a sketch to show for his efforts, Henry’s career is on the line. As the king’s patience wears thin, it’s clear that more than creative talent will be needed to capture this incomparable beauty on canvas ... From the bestselling author of The Lace Weavercomes this seductive story of rivalry, artistic passion and a woman bold enough to wield her beauty as a weapon.
