Book excerpt: In war-torn Sudan, a girl must make heart-rending choices as she fights for survival and a chance at a future. “This short, quickly paced narrative will stay with readers for the rest of their lives.” School Library Journali, STARRED REVIEW “Moving and necessary.” Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW For Poni, life in her small village in southern Sudan is simple and complicated at the same time. Stay in school. Beat up any boy who tries to show attention. Watch out for the dangers in the river. But then the war comes. And when soldiers arrive in her village and bombs begin to rain from the sky, there is only one thing for Poni to do. Run. Poni runs for her life, and alongside thousands of refugees, she must then make a long, dusty trek across the east African countryside. Driven by the sheer will to survive, Poni finds her way to the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where she hopes to be reunited with her family. And if she is lucky, she will one day be able to convince the authorities that she is worthy to go to the land of opportunity. But the misery in Kakuma is almost overwhelming, and sooner than Poni could have imagined, she is on the run again. With single-minded determination, Poni survives hell and back, but she cannot escape the war’s devastating psychological effects or her survivor’s guilt. In a heartbreaking final twist, Poni finds her mother just as she is about to leave for America—forcing her to make the hardest decision of all.

Book Synopsis Cinema of Disorientation by : Lash Dominic Lash
Download or read book Cinema of Disorientation written by Lash Dominic Lash and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precisely, perhaps, because they are so immediately absorbing, narrative films can also be profoundly confusing and disorienting. This fascinating book neither proposes foolproof methods for avoiding confusion; nor does it suggest that disorientation is always a virtue. Instead it argues that the best way to come to terms with our confusion is to look closely at exactly what is confusing us, and why. At the heart of the book are original close readings of four important recent films: David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE (2006), Leos Carax's Holy Motors (2012), Pedro Costa's Colossal Youth (2006) and Jean-Luc Godard's Goodbye to Language (2014). Clearly written but critically and theoretically bold, The Cinema of Disorientation: Inviting Confusions explores both how we get (or fail to get) our bearings with respect to a film, and what we might discover by (and while) doing so.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When her best friend vanishes without so much as a good-bye, eighteen-year-old Piper Sail takes on the role of amateur sleuth in an attempt to solve the mystery of Lydia’s disappearance. Given that Piper’s tendency has always been to butt heads with high-society’s expectations of her, it’s no surprise that she doesn’t give a second thought to searching for answers to Lydia’s abduction from their privileged neighborhood. As Piper discovers that those answers might stem from the corruption strangling 1924 Chicago—and quite possibly lead back to the doors of her affluent neighborhood—she must decide how deep she’s willing to dig, how much she should reveal, and if she’s willing to risk her life of privilege for the sake of the truth. Perfect for fans of Libba Bray and Anna Godbersen, Stephanie Morrill’s atmospheric jazz-age mystery will take readers from the glitzy homes of the elite to the dark underbelly of 1920s Chicago.

Book excerpt: In this “moving romantic novel,” a 19th century culture clash on the Wyoming prairie threatens to derail a young love as boundless as the American West (The Historical Novels Review). Wyoming, 1870s. Joe Walker is just a child himself when he finds an orphaned Chinese baby girl in the wilds outside of a mining town. He brings her home to his family, who reluctantly take her in—but Charity grows up never feeling accepted among either the Asian immigrants or the whites. In these two worlds divided by prejudice, her only true and unconditional bond is with her protective rescuer, Joe—until Charity is drawn to a devoted young man who offers her something she’s never had: a chance to really belong. As Charity’s relationship with Chen Fai deepens, Joe is forced to confront his impermissible feelings for a girl he has come to love. But as the racial tensions in Wyoming Territory ignite, Charity is torn between two men and two cultures, between the forbidden and the safe, between loyalty and desire. Only by following her heart can Charity find her future, and a place to finally call home.
Book Synopsis The Lost Girl By D. H. Lawrence by : D. H. Lawrence
Download or read book The Lost Girl By D. H. Lawrence written by D. H. Lawrence and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Herbert Lawrence is definitely an acquired taste, and one that, until I read this novel, I never thought I'd acquire. However, after seeing a terrific performance of The Daughter-in-law (Oberon Modern Plays) at the Lowry Theatre earlier this year, I was intrigued by the gritty physicality of Lawrence's writing, and decided to give this, one of his lesser-known works, a go - and I was glad I did. The novel is fairly straightforward and develops pretty slowly, as the unquenchable loser James Houghton (pronounced 'Huffton') grasps scheme after harebrained scheme in order to become wealthy and give his only daughter, Alvina, and sickly wife, the life he thinks they were born for. By the time of his death, mid-way through the novel, Alvina has taken centre-stage, and we see her striving to break out of the shadow of her feckless father and find love in a world threatened by war.
