Book Synopsis Our Frail Blood by : Peter Nathaniel Malae
Download or read book Our Frail Blood written by Peter Nathaniel Malae and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning author “tackles the tribulations of an American family in crisis . . . Like Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections . . . a must-read” (Booklist). By way of Italy, the Felice family puts down new roots in Southern California, settling into a grand Victorian home and buying a share of the great American Dream. But for their five, first-generation children, an idyllic childhood didn’t quite translate into success and happiness. Rather, the pressures of living up to expectations drove a wide rift through the family. After decades apart, the five siblings find themselves together again at their ailing mother’s bedside, caught in a deadlocked feud over her hospice care. Into the morass steps Murron Teinetoa, one of their bastard children, who carries an idealistic hope of finally fitting in among her estranged relatives. In an interweaving narrative, Malae portrays the Felices in their formative years of the fifties; he excavates the personal lives of the siblings in the eighties and nineties; and he follows Murron in the present as she raises her son as a single mother. A powerful and fiery multi-generational story, Our Frail Blood captures the beauty and horror, the strength and fragility, the selfishness and love comprising the threads of familial bonds. “This magnificent novel depicts dysfunction and dissolution across three generations . . . Malae taps an underground reservoir of grief and rage beneath our multicultural democracy that finally explodes in a terrible geyser.” —Anthony DiRenzo, author of Trinacria: A Tale of Bourbon Sicily “The novel’s heart is true . . . Malae is at his best: depicting the throbbing pain and joy of an American family.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: A historical saga of one strong woman’s journey from poverty and servitude in New York City to a new life in turn-of-the-century San Francisco. At ten, Lily Malone watched her mother die in their shabby apartment on Mulberry Street. Ma’s last wish was for Lily to keep an eye on her wild, rebellious brother—but after the two children move into the Catholic orphanage, she’s helpless to stop Fergy from abandoning her and heading out west to find gold in California. With the last of her family gone, Lily has little choice but to eventually accept a position in another family’s household. They’re Irish like her, but far wealthier—and it is here that the innocent girl begins to understand that she has little to bargain with aside from her beauty. This is the story of a young woman fighting her way out of hardship, as she learns to sell her body at an elegant brothel; becomes a mother desperately trying to keep the truth from her daughter; and finally is forced by love to return to the city of her shame and seek to conquer it. Moving from tenement squalor to the Fifth Avenue splendor of old New York, from the rolling decks of a great clipper ship to the brawling streets and magnificent Nob Hill mansions of San Francisco, through storm and earthquake and fire, Lily Cigar is a breathless saga of love, intrigue, and illicit passion.

This book was released on 2013-07-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tangled relationships, misunderstandings and truculent toddlers! When Charlotte Fforbes inadvertently falls in love with her boss, her usually cool self-control is tested to its limit. Thus far, Charlotte has carefully avoided love’s emotional tar pit, but suddenly she is in it up to her neck. Her first strategy is to ignore it – for one thing, boss Patrick is a husband and father. Then Charlotte is given a clue that Patrick’s marriage may not be as stable as believed, and that is enough to fan a spark of hope into an infatuation-fuelled inferno. Transformed from efficient PA into a woman whose reason has been muffled with duct-tape and locked in a cellar, she’ll now do anything to find a way into Patrick’s heart. Anything includes arranging to be nanny-for-a-month to the small children of Patrick and his wife and two other families at a Lake Como villa. Charlotte’s complete lack of child-minding experience daunts her the least. If she’s to win Patrick, she must also prevent his cousin’s wife being seduced by her charming, feckless ex, while fending off dogs, Gypsy gatecrashers and a large, vengeful ghost from Patrick’s past. But Charlotte’s biggest test will come when she is forced to question whether her affections have been entirely misplaced – and, if so, was this her last ever chance to feel love like this again?

This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Noël Coward's work as playwright, songwriter and actor has long been celebrated, his contributions to the British musical have largely been forgotten. Selected Musical Plays by Noël Coward: A Critical Anthology rectifies this omission from the musical theatre landscape, demonstrating how Coward's adaptability, creativity, and myriad of styles is imitated in the incredible musicals he authored. From flop shows at Drury Lane with Mary Martin through to his Broadway hits with Elaine Stritch, this anthology chronicles the variety of styles written by Coward, from revue to musical comedy to operetta. The works in this volume provide a contemporary critical introduction that illustrates the breadth and depth of his work, and highlighting the diverse identities of the collaborators and performers with whom he worked. Though the style of these works varies, they are linked together by his creative thread, and his ability to craft barbed and witty observations of his social world. A timely portrait of Coward's oeuvre and its lasting influence on the wider world of the British musical, Selected Musical Plays by Noël Coward contains previously unpublished musical plays by a central figure in theatre history, collected together with critical apparatus for students, scholars, and fans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary tale of love and tragedy set against the backdrop of Argyll's dramatic forest scenery, much of the story takes place in and around Ardcairn Estate owned by an imperious American heiress Miss Lacelaw. Weaving like a constant thread throughout the story is an old Douglas Fir – the 'Family Tree' – that unites the characters in life, love, death and new life. Neil, the self-made son of a forest worker, is locked into a self-destructive relationship with Morag, a local lass. One wild night Neil's collie dog discovers Sophie – a pre-University student on an expedition – lying unconscious by the Douglas Fir. Neil saves her life but through the interference of Miss Lacelaw, they lose touch with one another. Later, when Neil finds a ring that Sophie lost at the Family Tree, he traces it back to Dorothy, Sophie's aristocratic grandmother. Dorothy helps Neil find Sophie, who is studying at St Andrews, but the two of them are fated not to meet properly. One evening they find themselves unexpectedly reunited at a ceilidh in Oban. During the reeling Sophie loses her ring again but Neil retrieves it and slips it onto her finger. Seeing Neil's unmistakable love for Sophie, Morag makes a dramatic exit in a drunken rage. Romance blossoms between Neil and Sophie and they spend an idyllic summer at a cottage on Ardcairn belonging to Ann, Neil's psychic godmother who is Miss Lacelaw's housekeeper. After some memorable adventures Neil and Sophie marry, with a ceremony held at The Family Tree. Pregnant by now, on the night that a massive storm hits Argyll, Sophie's waters break prematurely. Rushing back from Edinburgh to be by her side, Neil is tragically killed in a motorbike accident at the same time that Dorothy dies watching a rugby match. When Sophie regains consciousness she discovers that she has lost the two people she most loved in the world... and gained a daughter. The novel opens and closes with the arrival at Ardcairn of a married couple – David and Eleanor – who are buying the Estate from Miss Lacelaw. This sets the scene for the arrival of Ann, who realises that there is an uncanny connection between Eleanor and Sophie. Although Eleanor is in truth Sophie's daughter, Sophie had kept this fact secret all her life. It is now left to Ann to tell Eleanor the story of her connection to Sophie, Ardcairn and The Family Tree. Following a momentous evening of revelation and a night of passion the new owners of Ardcairn pay homage to that survivor of the great storm The Family Tree, that now belongs to them. Is this an act of closure, or perhaps a new beginning? Might Eleanor even now be pregnant, and will The Family Tree see a connection to a third generation?
