Book excerpt: Journey from Jazz Age New York to Kenya, with a novel by an author who “successfully combines the genre of historical novel and murder mystery” (Booklist). It’s a beautiful day in Greenwich Village, and business is booming for art dealer Bedford Green. The former gossip owes it all to his invaluable assistant, Sloane—who then goes and spoils the fun by announcing that she’s leaving on safari. Sloane is a Midwestern girl and has never laid eyes on any animal more exotic than a housecat, but she can’t resist her uncle’s invitation to visit Kenya to hobnob with everyone from the department-store king of Chicago to the Prince of Wales. Green thinks it sounds dreadfully dangerous—which means he has no choice but to go with her. The safari is cut short, however, when Sloane’s aunt is found dead in the arms of a married man and her uncle is arrested for murder. Freeing him will take every ounce of Green’s charm . . . A Sinful Safari is the third book in the Bedford Green Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Download or read book Half of a Yellow Sun written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With her award-winning debut novel, Purple Hibiscus, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was heralded by the Washington Post Book World as the “21st century daughter” of Chinua Achebe. Now, in her masterly, haunting new novel, she recreates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra’s impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in Nigeria during the 1960s. With the effortless grace of a natural storyteller, Adichie weaves together the lives of five characters caught up in the extraordinary tumult of the decade. Fifteen-year-old Ugwu is houseboy to Odenigbo, a university professor who sends him to school, and in whose living room Ugwu hears voices full of revolutionary zeal. Odenigbo’s beautiful mistress, Olanna, a sociology teacher, is running away from her parents’ world of wealth and excess; Kainene, her urbane twin, is taking over their father’s business; and Kainene’s English lover, Richard, forms a bridge between their two worlds. As we follow these intertwined lives through a military coup, the Biafran secession and the subsequent war, Adichie brilliantly evokes the promise, and intimately, the devastating disappointments that marked this time and place. Epic, ambitious and triumphantly realized, Half of a Yellow Sun is a more powerful, dramatic and intensely emotional picture of modern Africa than any we have had before.

Book excerpt: An edge-of-your-seat caper based on one of the most sensational crimes in British history In August 1963, a Royal Mail train traveling between Glasgow and London was forced to make an unscheduled stop. Led by a charismatic jewel thief, a gang of fifteen unarmed men boarded the train, incapacitated the driver, and made off with more than £2 million. Divided equally, it was more than enough money for them to disappear forever—if they could all keep quiet.

Soon, a meticulous plan descended into a desperate free-for-all as the gang went down one by one. This heart-racing novel inspired by the Great Train Robbery asks the most fascinating question of all: Who talked?

Download or read book The Journey written by Sara Niles and published by Josephine Thompson. This book was released on 2024-02-20 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Torn From the Inside Out is the true story of Sara Niles's escape and disappearance with her five children in 1987. The JOURNEY is the rest of the story, covering the decades long saga of the Niles Family. It is estimated that up to seventy percent of people in the world have suffered varying degrees of family dysfunction, yet people rarely speak of it. Secrecy and denial aid in the perpetuation of dysfunction, The Journey tells the stark truth-sometimes leaving in only a new beginning. We left our whole world behind, and fled with nothing, yet the children never even once asked Why?" When a Raging Fire strikes a home in the middle of the night, everyone flees the home, with no regard for possessions, no grabbing of personal belongings, because every second counts. In most cases, there are family and friends, co-workers, and others standing by to help. In 1987, we fled from a different type of 'Fire', a would-be killer who promised to erase us from the earth. The Niles Family would embark on a lifelong Journey of Reparation and searches for Resolution. February 13, 1987 Southern Arkansas After fleeing through three states, my children and I thought we had broken free, and were safe. The looking-over-our-shoulder was finally over, we were free to rebuild our lives, and create happy futures. Thomas Niles had been the problem, the dark shadow in all my children’s lives: he was the antithesis of what was right, the antithesis of all I stood for. Once Thomas Niles was out of our lives, I believed the trauma and tragedy would be over, but I was wrong. A family is a small government, a society, a system, a school, in which children are being educated in functional behavior, or they are being conditioned in dysfunctional patterns. Danger and Damage is not always a visible monster, sometimes it never materializes, it only floats about inside the heads of the abused like a psychotic ghost. People who learn to be afraid in their childhoods and who become stuck in fear for too long, albeit for real, true, and good reasons, sometimes never learn to let go of those fears. The trauma of childhood becomes the monsters of adulthood. Note: Serious subject matter that may be triggering for individuals with raw issues

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Five Days and The Blue Hour comes an unforgettable novel about a woman who seemingly has it all, until the man she trusted the most threatens to take it all away. About an hour after I met Tony Hobbs, he saved my life. Thirty-seven-year-old American journalist Sally Goodchild quite literally married her hero. Both foreign correspondents, both on assignment in Cairo, they quickly fell in love and settled into domestic life in London. From the outset, Sally’s relationship with both Tony and his hometown was an uneasy one—as she found both to be far more unfamiliar than imagined. But her adjustment problems are soon overshadowed by a troubled pregnancy. When she goes into premature labor, there are doubts whether her child will survive unscathed. And then, out of nowhere, Sally is hit by an appalling postpartum depression—a descent into a temporary, but very personal hell, which even sees her articulating a homicidal thought against her baby. However, when she does manage to extricate herself from this desperate state, she finds herself in a fresh new nightmare, as she discovers that the man she thought knew her better than anyone—loved her more than anyone—now considers her an unfit mother and wants to bar her from ever seeing her child again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three amazing novels in one fabulous ebook by #1 internationally bestselling author Douglas Kennedy. The Pursuit of Happiness: Manhattan, Thanksgiving eve, 1945. The war was over, and Eric Smythe’s party was in full swing. All his clever Greenwich Village friends were there. So too was his sister Sara, an independent, outspoken young woman, starting to make her way in the big city. And then in walked Jack Malone, a U.S. Army journalist just back from a defeated Germany, a man whose world view was vastly different than that of Eric and his friends. This chance meeting between Sara and Jack and the choices they both made in the wake of it would eventually have profound consequences, both for themselves and for those closest to them for decades afterwards. Set amidst the dynamic optimism of postwar New York and the subsequent nightmare of the McCarthy era, The Pursuit of Happiness is a great, tragic love story; a tale of divided loyalties, decisive moral choices, and the random workings of destiny. A Special Relationship: About an hour after I met Tony Hobbs, he saved my life. Thirty-seven-year-old American journalist Sally Goodchild quite literally married her hero. Both foreign correspondents, both on assignment in Cairo, they quickly fell in love and settled into domestic life in London. From the outset, Sally’s relationship with both Tony and his hometown was an uneasy one; she found both to be far more unfamiliar than imagined.

State of the Union: America in the 1960s was an era of radical upheaval—of civil rights protests and anti-war marches; of sexual liberation and hallucinogenic drugs. More tellingly, it was a time when you weren’t supposed to trust anyone over the age of thirty; when, if you were young, you rebelled against your parents and their conservative values. But not Hannah Buchan. Hannah is a great disappointment to her famous radical father and painter mother. Instead of mounting the barricades and embracing this age of profound social change, she wants nothing more than to marry her doctor boyfriend and raise a family in a small town. Hannah gets her wish. But once installed as the doctor’s wife in a nowhere corner of Maine, boredom sets in... until an unforeseen moment of personal rebellion changes everything. For decades, this one transgression in an otherwise faultless life remains buried. But then, in the charged atmosphere of America after 9/11, her secret comes out and her life goes into freefall.
