Download or read book The Pain Tree written by Olive Senior and published by Cormorant Books. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pain Tree tells stories that speak to all aspects of Jamaican life. Among the characters we hear from are: poor folk making the best of past hardships (“Coal”); rich folk plotting future selfishness (“The Goodness of My Heart”); an old man, familiar with darkness, who discovers in foreign capitalism a force even he cannot control (“Boxed-In”); a young girl, uprooted to a new country, forced to shoulder her mother’s unspoken burdens in addition to her own (“Lollipop”). Bookending these are two powerful stories about the inextricability of home and history: in “The Pain Tree,” the protagonist comes to realize the love she has abandoned, and the pain she has left behind; in “Flying,” the lead character, searching for that which has been missing most of his life, comes home for good. Senior navigates the hills and valleys of narrative with natural ease, interweaving thick strands of emotion and insight yet never losing sight of a story’s ebb and flow. Her Pain Tree is an engaging, thought-provoking read that transports readers fully to another place, where the unfamiliar and exciting clash and commingle with the universal.
Book Synopsis The Gleaner by : Fayerweather Literary Services
Download or read book The Gleaner written by Fayerweather Literary Services and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE GLEANER by Stephen LeslieLand is a main character in this novel along with the people Danny Sweeney meets as he makes his way across the continent---Amish folk, migrant farm workers, Native Americans, rodeo cowboys---people who are living out their lives still connected to the working landscape amid the tectonic shifts in American society wrought by the counterculture of the 1960's. Orphaned after his father's accidental death and alienated from his older brother who intends to sell the family farm, Danny feels the ground of his being slipping away. He flees, aimlessly heading west, following the peregrination of the sun. Of Irish and Native American heritage, he knows the loneliness of the mixed-race child, belonging everywhere and nowhere. Yet an inner confidence forged by the hard work and discipline of being raised as a farm kid leads him to form strong bonds with the people he works with, lives with and learns from, relationships and experiences that help him mature from late adolescence into young manhood, from self-abandonment to self discovery. More than a coming of age story, it is a paean to our lost heritage---our vital connection to land and working animals and to the earth itself. Stephen Leslie owns and operates a horse-powered organic dairy and vegetable farm in Hartland, VT.

Normal life breaks down, and people do what they can to survive. Threatened with being taken to a labour camp, the children's only alternative is a perilous journey across the island. Sanctuary awaits them at Last Man Peak, but will they be able to reach it? Unforeseen danger waits at every turn. No one can be trusted.

Download or read book Gleaner Tales written by Robert Sellar and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A glance at the map shows the southwestern extremity of the province of Quebec to be a wedge-shaped bit of territory; the St. Lawrence on one side, the United States on the other. All that is related is associated with this corner of Canada. The book's name comes from the newspaper in which most of the tales first appeared. The book attempts to convey, in a readable form, an idea of an era in the life of Canada which has passed—that of its first settlement by emigrants from the British Isles—and to give an account of two striking episodes in its history, the invasion under Hampton and the year of the ship fever. These are historically correct; the briefer tales are based on actual incidents in the lives of early settlers in the old county of Huntingdon.

Hippies came to Negril and made it the “Capital of Casual.” Bob Marley spread reggae music worldwide and became a major tourism promoter for the island adding to the glitz from the English celebrities of the 1950s who came to the North Coast. Errol Flynn, Ian Fleming, and Noel Coward attracted jet setters to the island as did fictional super spy James Bond, Agent 007. Tourism growth and development, measured and conservative, free-flowing and exuberant – all existing in a dynamic, remarkable and one-of-a-kind setting. Jamaica, a cacophony of sights and delights. Ya mon, come to Jamaica, an island paradise that has it all.
