Book excerpt: A "smart, sharply observant, even gently funny" (The Washington Post) debut novel of heartache and joy Witty and surprising, Rebecca Johnson's first novel is about the unexpected links between one family and the world around them. Sophia and Darius have a well-worn marriage, two teenage daughters, and no foreseeable drama on the horizon. One morning, the two girls fight over the keys to the family car and set into motion an accident. The accident triggers a chain of events involving Harry, a still handsome B-list celebrity game-show host; Anton, a sexually repressed unemployed filmmaker; and Misty, who has reached month seven of what was supposed to be a six month campaign to make something of herself. Profoundly honest, this is a novel about the unpredictability of life, and the joy and heartache of how deeply one person's life can affect so many others.

Book excerpt: ALICE FEENEYS NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “Boldly plotted, tightly knotted—a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous.” —AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?
Download or read book Women and Sometimes Men written by Florida Scott-Maxwell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-20 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1957, in Women and Sometimes Men, the author accepts the findings of modern psychology that every man and woman is both masculine and feminine. Her book is about the relationship of these two, both in society and within the individual at the time. She believes that the relationship in either case could be better than it is; that the pressures of our times lead many women to live – or be lived by – their masculine sides. The balance is disturbed in the individual, in marriages, and in society. The pressures will not cease and a new harmony cannot be found without a self-understanding that is sometimes painful, and an understanding of the opposite sex which greatly depends upon self-knowledge. It is such an understanding which this book offered: insights and reflections based on a long experience of life and of the practice of analytical psychology. It is an expansion of a series of talks originally broadcast in the BBC Third Programme, and which only those who believe they are already the most fulfilled and fulfilling person, wife, husband, parent, could afford to ignore. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1957. The language used and views portrayed are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.

Book excerpt: In this contemporary retelling of The Canterbury Tales, a group of teens on a bus ride to Washington, DC, each tell a story—some fantastical, some realistic, some downright scandalous—in pursuit of the ultimate prize: a perfect score. Jeff boards the bus for the Civics class trip to Washington, DC, with a few things on his mind: -Six hours trapped with his classmates sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. -He somehow ended up sitting next to his ex-best friend, who he hasn’t spoken to in years. -He still feels guilty for the major part he played in pranking his teacher, and the trip’s chaperone, Mr. Bailey. -And his best friend Cannon, never one to be trusted and banned from the trip, has something “big” planned for DC. But Mr. Bailey has an idea to keep everyone in line: each person on the bus is going to have the chance to tell a story. It can be fact or fiction, realistic or fantastical, dark or funny or sad. It doesn’t matter. Each person gets a story, and whoever tells the best one will get an automatic A in the class. But in the middle of all the storytelling, with secrets and confessions coming out, Jeff only has one thing on his mind—can he live up to the super successful story published in the school newspaper weeks ago that convinced everyone that he was someone smart, someone special, and someone with something to say. In her debut novel, Kim Zarins breathes new life into Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales in a fresh and contemporary retelling that explores the dark realities of high school, and the ordinary moments that bring us all together.
