The 4 characters are Sue, Anna, Bianca and Rachael. Anna is in her early 60s and is married to Ken, whose huge sexual appetite means that for many years he has lied and cheated on his wife. Anna decides to make herself over in an attempt to get Ken to love her again. She persuades him to go to Paradise Island for a week and goes about seducing him, but unfortunately, Ken finds his wife's 'new look' repulsive. However, he soon finds someone on the Island who will give him the sex he needs, leaving Anna to find a love of her own. Anna is seduced by a fake Italian lothario who she falls in love with, only to be devastated as she's about to leave the Island. Will Ken stay with Anna on their return home or is their marriage over? Sue, 50, is a school teacher who has never known love or passion in her adult life. Living on her own, she wonders if there is someone out there for her. She decides to go for a week to Paradise Island after seeing its glossy ad in a magazine. On the Island, Sue falls head over heels in love with the same fake Italian lothario as Anna, thinking that this is a life changing romance for her. But she also will be bitterly disappointed. Back home her life becomes one that she could never have imagined. Bianca, is young and newly married, but her husband doesn't like sex, due to him being abused as a child.

But while Bianca realises that sex is not everything in a marriage, Joel is determined to make more of an effort to please his new wife. Once Joel is rescued, will their plans to accept what they have and make each other happy, change their lives forever? Rachael and Harry have three children. They have never been on holiday together without them in their ten-year marriage, as Jake, their 9 yr old, has ADHD, and his behaviour is almost unmanageable. Rachel plucks up the courage and asks her parents, who have never even looked after their grandchildren for even an hour before, to have them. Her mum reluctantly agrees. However, once on the Island, Rachael becomes so obsessed with worry and anxiety, especially about son, Jake, and how her parents couldn't be expected to cope with him, she rings her parents only to find mayhem in the background. Realising that she should never have left her children with her elderly parents, she leaves the Island after only a few days, leaving her angry husband behind. However, now on his own, he starts an affair which will have far reaching consequences for them as a family. SPOILER: For Anna and Sue, who are middle aged and not that attractive, they both find themselves seduced by one of the Island's staff, a lothario who cannot do without his daily sex, and uses a fake Italian accent, Marcello (real name Mark who has a broad Aussie accent). Unknown to both women, he makes each of them feel that she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen which make them feel better about themselves, with his false flattery and sexual prowess.

Book excerpt: The acclaimed Nobel Prize winner challenges our most fiercely held beliefs as she weaves folklore and history, memory and myth into an unforgettable meditation on race, religion, gender, and a far-off past that is ever present—in prose that soars with the rhythms, grandeur, and tragic arc of an epic poem. “They shoot the white girl first. With the rest they can take their time.” So begins Toni Morrison’s Paradise, which opens with a horrifying scene of mass violence and chronicles its genesis in an all-black small town in rural Oklahoma. Founded by the descendants of freed slaves and survivors in exodus from a hostile world, the patriarchal community of Ruby is built on righteousness, rigidly enforced moral law, and fear. But seventeen miles away, another group of exiles has gathered in a promised land of their own. And it is upon these women in flight from death and despair that nine male citizens of Ruby will lay their pain, their terror, and their murderous rage. “A fascinating story, wonderfully detailed. . . . The town is the stage for a profound and provocative debate.” —Los Angeles Times

Download or read book To Paradise written by Hanya Yanagihara and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the award-winning, best-selling author of the classic A Little Life—a bold, brilliant novel spanning three centuries and three different versions of the American experiment, about lovers, family, loss and the elusive promise of utopia. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: VOGUE • ESQUIRE • NPR • GOODREADS To Paradise is a fin de siècle novel of marvelous literary effect, but above all it is a work of emotional genius. The great power of this remarkable novel is driven by Yanagihara’s understanding of the aching desire to protect those we love—partners, lovers, children, friends, family, and even our fellow citizens—and the pain that ensues when we cannot. In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love whomever they please (or so it seems). The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means. In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. And in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist’s damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him—and solve the mystery of her husband’s disappearances. These three sections comprise an ingenious symphony, as recurring notes and themes deepen and enrich one another: A townhouse in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village; illness, and treatments that come at a terrible cost; wealth and squalor; the weak and the strong; race; the definition of family, and of nationhood; the dangerous righteousness of the powerful, and of revolutionaries; the longing to find a place in an earthly paradise, and the gradual realization that it can’t exist. What unites not just the characters, but these Americas, are their reckonings with the qualities that make us human: Fear. Love. Shame. Need. Loneliness.
Download or read book What Strange Paradise written by Omar El Akkad and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • From the widely acclaimed, bestselling author of American War—a beautifully written, unrelentingly dramatic, and profoundly moving novel that looks at the global refugee crisis through the eyes of a child. "Told from the point of view of two children, on the ground and at sea, the story so astutely unpacks the us-versus-them dynamics of our divided world that it deserves to be an instant classic." —The New York Times Book Review More bodies have washed up on the shores of a small island. Another overfilled, ill-equipped, dilapidated ship has sunk under the weight of its too many passengers: Syrians, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Lebanese, Palestinians, all of them desperate to escape untenable lives back in their homelands. But miraculously, someone has survived the passage: nine-year-old Amir, a Syrian boy who is soon rescued by Vänna. Vänna is a teenage girl, who, despite being native to the island, experiences her own sense of homelessness in a place and among people she has come to disdain. And though Vänna and Amir are complete strangers, though they don’t speak a common language, Vänna is determined to do whatever it takes to save the boy. In alternating chapters, we learn about Amir’s life and how he came to be on the boat, and we follow him and the girl as they make their way toward safety. What Strange Paradise is the story of two children finding their way through a hostile world. But it is also a story of empathy and indifference, of hope and despair—and about the way each of those things can blind us to reality.
