After much consideration, she chooses the unlikely and elusive Sussex farmhouse that has become the home of her aunt. Turning away from her other possible options of finding a suitable man on which to rely, or (god forbid) training herself up for some sort of job, she decides the best way to spend her future is meddling in the affairs of her relations. Through a raft of characters and a snappy narrative, Stella Gibbons explores the gulf between classes with a light and teasing touch.įlora finds herself suddenly bereft of both parents (although doesn’t waste too much time fussing too much over this) and sets about finding suitable family members to go and burden herself upon. Several passages almost slunk past me when I almost missed the inherent sarcasm and wit, and I wager that a second read would unearth far more witty gems. ![]() Not only is it one of the funniest books I’ve ever read it’s also probably some of the most subtle and nuanced humour I’ve encountered. It has been some time since I have enjoyed the inane pleasure of drawing bemused glances on the morning commute from sniggering behind the covers of a book. My only regret upon finishing this book is that it’s taken me this long to get around to reading it. ![]() ![]() This is a story of adventure, an encounter with the unknown, a knight's undaunted journey into the kingdom of death this is a story of the world you've always known, that first primer where "on page three a dog appeared, on page five a ball" and every familiar facet has been made to shimmer like the contours of a dream, "the dog float into the sky to join the ball." Faithful and Virtuous Night tells a single story but the parts are mutable, the great sweep of its narrative mysterious and fateful, heartbreaking and charged with wonder. You enter the world of this spellbinding book through one of its many dreamlike portals, and each time you enter it's the same place but it has been arranged differently. Faithful and Virtuous Night is no exception. Every new collection is at once a deepening and a revelation.

What they are finding is upending the traditional view of how birds conduct their lives, how they communicate, forage, court, breed, survive. But the bird way is much more than a unique pattern of brain wiring, and lately, scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviours they have, for years, dismissed as anomalies or mysteries. "There is the mammal way and there is the bird way." This is one scientist's pithy distinction between mammal brains and bird brains: two ways to make a highly intelligent mind. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rest assured, Roberson shares that dating men whilst hating men is less about literally hating individual men and more about working to dismantle the structural gender-based power imbalances within Western society. Of course, if you totally love your dad, brother, dog walker, barista, or heck, even your boyfriend (and anyone else in your life that identifies as a man), you may find the phrase "hate men" to be a little provocative. I sat down with Roberson over breakfast to talk about the patriarchy, texting crushes, making art about the idiots who've caused you pain, and six life-changing tips on how to date men when you hate men. We can all date men when we hate men, and we can get through it together. ![]() And although you might be a bit upset that you didn't come up with such a topical concept for a modern romance novel, worry not. ![]() Of course, a quick Google search will show you that comedic writer (and general icon), Blythe Roberson, has already beat you to it.

You quickly realize that despite months of flirty texts, the literal paper notes you've exchanged, and all those times you were about to kiss - that you are *not* on a date. You're sitting across from your crush in an urban-chic night-café (constructed out of an old shipping container), when he mentions his long-term girlfriend (who you've never previously heard of). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What I remember most about reading The Chosen when I was a young mother was the tenderness with which Potok told his story here was a man trained as a rabbi who could see all sides of an age-old story and whose prose was a pleasure to read-graceful, yet compelling. Its appeal comes from its very specific look at the conflicting ideals of two Jewish fathers in Williamsburg (a section of Brooklyn) from 1944 to 1948 and how their differing ideas influence the next generation yet create a unique and touching bond. in a way that will ring just as true in Iowa as in Brooklyn.” Although New Yorker readers were beginning to read stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer, this was the first time a novel about Orthodox Jews had gained such a wide audience. Potok is writing about two fathers and their sons. When The Chosen was published in 1967, it soon became read not only in Hebrew schools and synagogue book groups but all over the country.

My hair seemed to be standing straight up on end. Even so, I missed him as I brushed my teeth, smirking at my own reflection in the bathroom mirror. He had work to do the next day and so did I. He did things to me that I’d only read about in books, and at the end of it, legs trembling, heart thudding, I laughed and he buried his face against my belly, laughing too. I hadn’t known how much I wanted him until then, until that point, but the sound I made was primitive and his response was fierce and immediate and after that, in the half-light, with the table pushed aside, we made love on the floor. I clutched at him convulsively, slid down and forward against him and he half lifted me, hands cupped under my ass. ![]() ![]() “aware of, he was on his knees between mine, pulling the neck of my T-shirt down, his mouth on my bare breast. ![]() ![]() ![]() Reissued 2015 polar explorers find advanced beings at the South Pole ![]() ![]() Reissued as ebook monthly serial about a highly developed lost civilization Reissued in 2015 search for source of ancient coins leads to Antarctica Reprinted in 2009, 2011Įxpedition to the North Pole to win a cash prize from a millionaire Expedition, reprinted 2019 from French, original title 'A French Woman at the North Pole'.Ĥ explorers in hot air balloon crash in Arctic and find Norse colony and dinosaurs.
