Download or read book Here Is the Beehive written by Sarah Crossan and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliantly original debut about a love affair cut short, and how lonely it is to live inside a secret -- for fans of Sally Rooney, Sheila Heti, and Ottessa Moshfegh. Ana Kelly can deal with death. As an estate lawyer, an unfortunate part of her day-to-day is phone calls from the next of kin informing her that one of her clients has died. But nothing could have prepared Ana for the call from Rebecca Taylor, explaining in a strangely calm tone that her husband Connor was killed in an accident. Ana had been having an affair with Connor for three years, keeping their love secret in hotel rooms, weekends away, and swiftly deleted text messages. Though consuming, they hide their love well, and nobody knows of their relationship except Mark, Connor's best friend. Alone and undone, Ana seeks friendship with the person who she once thought of as her adversary and opposite, but who is now the only one who shares her pain -- Rebecca. As Ana becomes closer to her lover's widow, she is forced to reconcile painful truths about the affair, and the fickleness of love and desire. Funny, frank, and strange, Sarah Crossan's moving novel is wholly original and deeply resonant.

Download or read book The Shape of Regret written by Herbert Woodward Martin and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-28 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authentic voice that is reflective of the author’s sincere appreciation for poetry. The Shape of Regret is a new poetry collection with a long shelf life, something that will be whispered about—gossiped about—by creative readers and writers for years to come. Herbert Woodward Martin is an acclaimed professor and influential American poet who has been known to inspire and encourage. To create his poems, Martin draws from his own life, experiences, and passions. Many of the poems speak directly or indirectly to poets who have shaped or interested Martin, including Hart Crane, William Carlos Williams, Lucille Clifton, Jackson Mac Low, and Robert Frost. He also gives further voice and testimony to the African American experience both in the present and the past. An early reader of the collection said that Martin "continues to contribute to the canon. As an African American poet, he incorporates voices, a range of perspectives, and a unique approach to conveying and incorporating culture into literary language." Martin has been clear that his intention with this collection is to gather as many interesting ideas as possible in one place. His aim is, and has always been, to witness a thriving poetry community—one in which poets of all backgrounds can learn from each other and continue to grow together. The Shape of Regretis a wonderful place to either start or revive one's love of poetry.
Download or read book Elegy for April written by Benjamin Black and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2010-04-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quirke—the hard-drinking, insatiably curious Dublin pathologist—is back, and he's determined to find his daughter's best friend, a well-connected young doctor April Latimer has vanished. A junior doctor at a local hospital, she is something of a scandal in the conservative and highly patriarchal society of 1950s Dublin. Though her family is one of the most respected in the city, she is known for being independent-minded; her taste in men, for instance, is decidedly unconventional. Now April has disappeared, and her friend Phoebe Griffin suspects the worst. Frantic, Phoebe seeks out Quirke, her brilliant but erratic father, and asks him for help. Sober again after intensive treatment for alcoholism, Quirke enlists his old sparring partner, Detective Inspector Hackett, in the search for the missing young woman. In their separate ways the two men follow April's trail through some of the darker byways of the city to uncover crucial information on her whereabouts. And as Quirke becomes deeply involved in April's murky story, he encounters complicated and ugly truths about family savagery, Catholic ruthlessness, and race hatred. Both an absorbing crime novel and a brilliant portrait of the difficult and relentless love between a father and his daughter, this is Benjamin Black at his sparkling best.

Book excerpt: TheHouse of Youssef is a collection of short storiesset in Western Sydney. The stories explore the lives of Lebanese migrants whohave settled in the area, circling around themes of isolation, family and community,and nostalgia for the home country. In particular, House of Youssef is about relationships, and the customs which complicatethem: between parents and children, the dark secrets of marriage, the breakablebonds between friends. The stories are told with extreme minimalism -- some areonly two pages long -- which heightens their emotional intensity. The collection is framed by two soliloquies. The first expresses thelonging of an old man for the homeland he will never return to. The second is themonologue of a woman, who could be his wife, addressed to her daughter, aboutlife and its disappointments. The twocentral sequences are composed of vignettes which focus on moments of domestic crisis,and which combine, in the title sequence, to chart the demise of a singlefamily. Kassab portrays the lives of ordinary people -- simple,unglamorous, down-to-earth. Her understated style isolates small details andthe anxieties that lurk within them. The tiny shifts in a normal day are anentire world to the people at the centre of her stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Emmett Brown is as dark as Heathcliff, and as unpredictable. Sometimes he's an inspiration, but not often. He's a man of booze and obsessions: one of them is his 'System', an attempt to bend the laws of probability. But when the lottery numbers and horses fail him, so do love and reason, and he becomes an ogre to his wife and children. For the innocents - Louisa, Rob, Peter, Daniel and Jessie - the bonds formed hiding in hedges at the end of the street, waiting for the maelstroms to pass, are complex and unbreakable. Over the years, the consequences of Emmett's rages shape both their spirits and psyches, but as he lies dying they discover that love - however imperfect - is the best defence against pain."--Back cover.
