Book excerpt: GOLD MEDAL, BEST FICTION: AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND-AOTEAROA/PACIFIC RIM. 2024 INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER BOOK AWARDS SILVER MEDAL, LITERARY FICTION, 2024 READERS' FAVORITE BOOK AWARDS From Jenni Ogden, author of multiple-award-winning A Drop in the Ocean, comes another evocative story of friendship, coral reefs, and marine conservation for book-club readers. It is the late 1970s and teenagers Gaia and her brother Bron live with their parents on their isolated property on Western Australia’s Coral Coast. Intensively trained for a career as a professional ballet dancer by her mother, once a Principal Dancer in the American Ballet Theatre, Gaia also loves snorkeling over the coral reef that borders their small market garden. Then comes a day that changes her life forever: she discovers a rare pair of dramatically colored seadragons, their courtship dance over the coral spellbinding, and that night she loses her entire family and her dancing dream. Two years later she returns to the abandoned property, determined to live off the land. For years her only friends are the wild animals of the bush and reef, and Mary and Eddie, an Aboriginal couple who work for the racist farmer on the neighboring property — until one morning Jarrah, Mary’s 11-year-old orphaned nephew, is entranced when he sees Gaia dancing on the beach. As an unlikely friendship between these two lonely and scarred people deepens, they discover that when you lose everything the only way to survive is to open your heart.

Download or read book Dragons at the Party written by Jon Cleary and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is Bicentenary year and Australia is having the party of its lifetime. Detective Inspector Scobie Malone, hero of three previous Cleary books and the most human of cops, would much rather be out on Sydney Harbor with his family, watching the fun. Instead he is on duty, investigating the murder of an aide to President Timori, who has just arrived unwanted in Australia following a coup in the Spice Islands republic of Palucca. With Timori is his glamorous wife, Delvina, a lady as famous for her extravagance as for her lust for power. Clearly the bullet was meant for the president, and Malone has the task of tracking down the hit man before he takes a second shot. Malone identifies the would-be assassin as Miguel Seville, an international terrorist now turned contract man, a hired killer who wants to retire and needs the money from this job to achieve his aim. Malone also suspects that Seville is in contact with a young Aboriginal rights activist. But who is paying Seville, and why? Prime Minister Philip Norval, an ex–TV star who is lost without his advisors, turns out to be an old flame of Delvina’s from the days when she was a dancer in Sydney. Business tycoon Russell Hickbed, though a reluctant host to the Timoris, has his own reasons for wanting President Timori protected. And interfering in the cast at every opportunity is Hans Vaderberg, premier of the state of New South Wales, political enemy of Prime Minister Norval, and master of every political trick ever devised. In this gripping new novel, Jon Cleary has set an ominous cat-and-mouse game in a sophisticated city intent on celebrating. But carried on the wind at the edge of the city, fire, the summer scourge of Australia, is scorching the bush and destroying people’s homes. Not all Australians will celebrate this two hundredth birthday and Malone knows it.

Download or read book Bolshoi Confidential Secrets of the Russian Ballet from the Rule of the Tsars to Today written by Simon Morrison and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “incredibly rich” (New York Times) definitive history of the Bolshoi Ballet, visionary performances onstage compete with political machinations backstage. A critical triumph, Simon Morrison’s “sweeping and authoritative” (Guardian) work, Bolshoi Confidential, details the Bolshoi Ballet’s magnificent history from its earliest tumults to recent scandals. On January 17, 2013, a hooded assailant hurled acid into the face of the artistic director, making international headlines. A lead soloist, enraged by institutional power struggles, later confessed to masterminding the crime. Morrison gives the shocking violence context, describing the ballet as a crucible of art and politics beginning with the disreputable inception of the theater in 1776, through the era of imperial rule, the chaos of revolution, the oppressive Soviet years, and the Bolshoi’s recent $680 million renovation. With vibrant detail including “sex scandals, double-suicide pacts, bribery, arson, executions, prostitution rings, embezzlement, starving orphans, [and] dead cats in lieu of flowers” (New Republic), Morrison makes clear that the history of the Bolshoi Ballet mirrors that of Russia itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The sun was setting in Wolverhampton, turning the crowded streets red. Riding his bright green bicycle, Greybones, a very specific skeleton, pedalled with so much enthusiasm that it seemed he had the devil on his tail (in fact, he did still owe him some money).” In the charming town of Wolverhampton, England, one daring entrepreneur had a bold and spinechilling vision: to create a Park of Horrors. This twisted idea came from none other than Sir Desrius, infamously known as the “Warlock.” Ruthless and cunning, he captured monsters and magical beings from every corner of the globe to fill his eerie park. For years, these creatures have endured cruelty and mistreatment. But lately, whispers of rebellion are stirring… My Big Halloween Party is a modern fairy tale for anyone who’s ever felt judged. It will make you laugh, cry, sympathize, and march alongside the courageous protagonists in their fight for freedom.

They called me an angel; I just needed a demon to balance out those dark desires I couldn’t contain. They said the villain would burn down the world for the woman he loves. What does that make me? The woman lying in ashes, and the burnt match in her hand was either him or them. And there was never a choice when you fall in love with the darkest of souls, not when they peak to the depths of your own." ★★★★★ There is Heaven, and there is Hell.
