Download or read book Not Without Flowers written by Amma Darko and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2007-10-15 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new novel from a scion of the new generation of writers in Africa. She tells the story of women in Africa: here it is misery, pain, agony , dilemmas, frustrations. She floats the reader on a world of inverted reality, which yet becomes the norm. With creative imagination, confronting the social realities, she seeks out the world of peace and tranquillity. But not without verisimilitude. The extremes of moral turpitude beget horrid outcomes, leaving suspense rather than resolution. Amma Darko is one of the most significant contemporary Ghanaian literary writers. She is the author of three previous novels: Faceless (Sub-Saharan, 2003), The Housemaid (Heinemann, 1999) and Beyond the Horizon (Heinemann, 1995).

Book excerpt: As they have so many times before, Carla Day and her Egyptologist father are visiting the museum—and the ancient coffin lid he discovered years ago—when a fellow museum-goer falls to the floor, choking. Dr. Day rushes to pry off the poor man’s tie, but instead of getting praise, he gets charged with murder by strangulation—and accused of faking Alzheimer’s. The charges are dropped when it’s learned that the museum-goer isn’t dead, but comatose. And when he vanishes, Carla begins to suspect that her father’s faulty memory may be the only link between a millennia-old Egyptian death and a present-day California one. “Clever and poignant . . . The puzzle intrigues and the characters come to life.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch “[An] acerbic, funny, insightful voice.”—The Boston Globe “A cleverly designed whodunit [with an] unnerving shocking final confrontation.”—Midwest Book Review

Book excerpt: Pounding music. Sculpted men. And a conspiracy that could cost far more than a few dollar bills . . . HOT COP Detective Blake Knight has been undercover before. But an assignment to bust a steroid ring running out of Dallas’s elite male strip club means his new cover will be nothing but his own taut muscles and oiled skin. It’s one thing for the tough, by-the-books agent to take down bad guys with his gun. Facing a rowdy crowd in only a G-string is another story . . . especially in front of his new boss, gorgeous, mysterious Reese Landon. Her father’s club and shady business practices bring back terrible memories for Reese. But when he’s shot and goes into a coma, she vows to protect him the way he never did for her. That means keeping the police at a distance—especially sexy, driven Detective Knight. If she has to give him a cover job, it would be a crime not to put that glorious ass on stage.

And it might expose more than either wants to show . . .
Download or read book In My Skin written by Kate Holden and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I made money I’d never imagined and I wore velvet dresses and shone in lamplight. I walked tall in crowds, knowing myself to be desired. I told people I was a prostitute, and smiled as I said it, and dared them to turn their gaze...The smile that I give when I talk about it now is, I can feel, nostalgic, provocative. A brightness comes into my eyes. And, I’m told, a hard look too. In My Skin describes an extraordinary journey through an often hidden world of heroin and prostitution. Kate’s story is one of survival and resourcefulness, and an unflinching look at the consequences of addiction. More than just a fearless and compelling narrative, In My Skin is the triumphant announcement of a new talent in Australian writing.
Download or read book Joyce Carol Oates Letters to a Biographer written by Joyce Carol Oates and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rich compilation of Joyce Carol Oates's letters across four decades displays her warmth and generosity, her droll and sometimes wicked sense of humor, her phenomenal energy, and most of all, her mastery of the lost art of letter writing. "It's hard to think of another writer with as fecund and protean an imagination as the eighty-five-year-old Joyce Carol Oates, who is surely on any short list of America's greatest living writers." —New York Times Magazine In this generous selection of Joyce Carol Oates’s letters to her biographer and friend Greg Johnson, readers will discover a never-before-seen dimension of her phenomenal talent. In 1975, when Johnson was a graduate student, he first wrote to Oates, already a world-famous author, and drew an appreciative, empathetic response. Soon the two began a fairly intense, largely epistolary friendship that would last until the present day. As time passed, letters became faxes, and faxes became emails, but the energy and vividness of Oates’s writing never abated. Her letters were often sprinkled with the names of well-known public figures, from John Updike and Toni Morrison to Steve Martin and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. There are also descriptions of far-flung travels she undertook with her first husband, the scholar and editor Raymond Smith, and with her second, the distinguished Princeton neuroscientist Charlie Gross. But much of Oates’s prose centered on the pleasures of her home life, including her pet cats and the wildlife outside her study window. Whereas her academic essays and book reviews are eloquent in a formal manner, in these letters she is wholly relaxed, even when she is serious in her concerns. Like Johnson, she was always engaged in work, whether a long novel or a brief essay, and the letters give a fascinating glimpse into Oates’s writing practice.

Download or read book The Strongest Woman Is the One Who Love Beyond All Faults written by Shri Mahomed and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book you hold in your hands is an invitation to consider why you make the decisions you do. It is both an investigation and a celebration of choice. No matter how crushing the circumstances feel, we have the power to choose our responses to life--from the least everyday concern to moments of deepest despair. This moving personal story offers practical advice, demonstrates the capacity of awareness, and shows the importance of acceptance, heart, and vulnerability. Caring is a gift no one can buy; it roots in our hearts and creates memories for a lifetime. This book is a work of fiction; any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. I hope my book is a success; for every book sold, I will be donating ten rands in South Africa to a foundation for women in distress, which I will be opening in the near future.
