Book Synopsis The Thorn Tree by : Heather Marshall
Download or read book The Thorn Tree written by Heather Marshall and published by MP Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lives of three generations of women intertwine in the Scottish stone cottage of Agatha, a spinster aunt with more than a helping of spunk. For Agatha's niece Margaret, born in the States but with her own secret connection to the cottage, packing her resentful daughter Hope off to Scotland the summer after her parents have split seems like the cleanest solution to the kind of messy emotions Margaret hates. Margaret spends her summer finding out who she is other than a wife and mother — and she likes it. Hope has to reinvent herself and her vision of her dad, tricky seas to navigate even without trying to figure out how to eat a bannock and remember which way to look when skateboarding across the road. And gentle Aunt Agatha wonders what would have happened if she'd made room in her life for romance and adventure, instead of just for family. Told from the perspective of each woman, The Thorn Tree weaves together the complexities of love and life for each generation, and shows the strength of family ties.

Download or read book The Whirlwind in the Thorn Tree written by S. Hunt and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning author S. A. Hunt comes a blockbuster fantasy tale inspired by such old-school fantasy classics as Stephen King's The Dark Tower, C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, and Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time. After coming home from a stint in Afghanistan, veteran Ross Brigham learns that his father has passed away. Dearly departed Dad was a famous fantasy novelist, and the 300 fans that show up for the funeral demand that Ross finish E. R. Brigham's long-running magnum opus. Ross and two of the author's devotees investigate his untimely death and discover that he might have been murdered...and the time-bending gunslingers of Dad's steampunk novels might be real. As they try to acclimate to the arid deserts of the author's fantasy world, the three damaged heroes become pawns in a war for humanity's survival. The Muses have grown tired of immortality and now incite atrocities on Earth, trying to lure down a leviathan from the stars. Can Ross and his new friends stop the scheming satyrs before both worlds are eaten?

Book Synopsis The Thorn Tree by : Heather G. Marshall

Book excerpt: Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-GBX-NONEX-NONEMicrosoftInternetExplorer4The lives of three generations of women intertwine in the book that traverses the Atlantic. The Scottish stone cottage of Agatha, spinster with more than a helping of spunk, becomes the haven and prison for American teenager and skateboard fanatic Hope, after her father leaves home and her mother Margaret won't tell her why. Margaret is trapped between her own disappointments in her husband's relapse into addiction and her desire to shelter and guide her daughter the best way she knows how. Packing Hope off to Aunt Agatha seems like the best solution for what would otherwise be a tension-filled summer. The novel shows us each woman's perspective, with Hope railing against her mother's shallowness and Margaret fearing her daughter's rebellion, while Agatha's determination to provide a refuge from trouble is sent sailing away by Hope's inability to stay out of it. Margaret spends her summer finding out who she is other than a wife and mother--she develops a friendship with a fatherly neighbor and sparks fly with a successful businessman. Hope has already tried the drugs that led her father to abandon his family in search of a greater high, but all she knows is that her father was an inspiring athlete who balanced out her uptight mom. This summer she's forced out of her comfortable understanding and has to reinvent herself and her vision of her dad. And Agatha knows she's reaching the last years of her life, and wonders if having put family first all these years has really been what her life's purpose was, or were there opportunities for romance and adventure that she missed? As Hope grudgingly begins to enjoy life on a rocky island, Agatha injures herself gravely, and Hope has to shoulder responsibility she's never taken on before. Margaret has to decide whether to drop everything and swoop in to rescue the situation, or whether to let the delicate trust Agatha and Hope have built continue to strengthen. In this touching and deftly drawn novel of the family ties that draw generations back to their roots, Marshall creates a living portrait of the Scottish isles. Her novel is peopled by the tough but kind folks who have made their home on stony shores, and whose emigrant children know only the comforts of American prosperity.

Book excerpt: THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE PENDERYN MUSIC BOOK PRIZE 'Tender, wise and funny' Sunday Express 'Beautifully observed, deadly funny' Max Porter Before becoming an acclaimed musician and writer, Tracey Thorn was a typical teenager: bored and cynical, despairing of her aspirational parents. Her only comfort came from house parties and the female pop icons who hinted at a new kind of living. Returning to the scene of her childhood, Thorn takes us beyond the bus shelters, the pub car parks and the weekly discos, to the parents who wanted so much for their children and the children who wanted none of it. With great wit and insight, Thorn reconsiders the Green Belt post-war dream so many artists have mocked, and yet so many artists have come from.

Book Synopsis Lady Sings the Blues by : Billie Holiday
Download or read book Lady Sings the Blues written by Billie Holiday and published by Crown. This book was released on 2006-07-25 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perfect for fans of The United States vs. Billie Holiday, this is the fiercely honest, no-holds-barred memoir of the legendary jazz, swing, and standards singing sensation—a fiftieth-anniversary edition updated with stunning new photos, a revised discography, and an insightful foreword by music writer David Ritz Taking the reader on a fast-moving journey from Billie Holiday’s rough-and-tumble Baltimore childhood (where she ran errands at a whorehouse in exchange for the chance to listen to Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith albums), to her emergence on Harlem’s club scene, to sold-out performances with the Count Basie Orchestra and with Artie Shaw and his band, this revelatory memoir is notable for its trenchant observations on the racism that darkened Billie’s life and the heroin addiction that ended it too soon. We are with her during the mesmerizing debut of “Strange Fruit”; with her as she rubs shoulders with the biggest movie stars and musicians of the day (Bob Hope, Lana Turner, Clark Gable, Benny Goodman, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, and more); and with her through the scrapes with Jim Crow, spats with Sarah Vaughan, ignominious jailings, and tragic decline. All of this is told in Holiday’s tart, streetwise style and hip patois that makes it read as if it were written yesterday.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Guardian Best Nature Book of the Year The magic and mystery of the woods are embedded in culture, from ancient folklore to modern literature. They offer us refuge: a place to play, a place to think. They are the generous providers of timber and energy. They let us dream of other ways of living. Yet we now face a future where taking a walk in the woods is consigned to the tales we tell our children. Immersing himself in the beauty of woodland Britain, Peter Fiennes explores our long relationship with the woods and the sad and violent story of how so many have been lost. Just as we need them, our woods need us too. But who, if anyone, is looking out for them?
Book Synopsis The Thorn Birds by : Colleen McCullough
Download or read book The Thorn Birds written by Colleen McCullough and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most beloved novels of all time, Colleen McCullough's magnificent saga of dreams, struggles, dark passions, and forbidden love in the Australian outback has enthralled readers the world over. The Thorn Birds is a chronicle of three generations of Clearys—an indomitable clan of ranchers carving lives from a beautiful, hard land while contending with the bitterness, frailty, and secrets that penetrate their family. It is a poignant love story, a powerful epic of struggle and sacrifice, a celebration of individuality and spirit. Most of all, it is the story of the Clearys' only daughter, Meggie, and the haunted priest, Father Ralph de Bricassart—and the intense joining of two hearts and souls over a lifetime, a relationship that dangerously oversteps sacred boundaries of ethics and dogma.
