Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful examination of the artistic impulse, cultural identity, and family bonds Anita is waiting for Adam to be released from prison. They met twenty years ago at a New Year’s Eve party in Paris, a city where they both felt out of place—he as a recent arrival from the provinces, and she as an immigrant from the island of Mauritius. They quickly fell in love, married, and moved to a village in southwestern France, to live on the shores of the Atlantic with their little girl, Laura. In order to earn a living, Adam has left behind his love of painting to become an architect, and Anita has turned her desire to write into a job freelancing for a local newspaper. Over time, the monotony of daily life begins to erode the bonds of their marriage. The arrival of Adèle, an undocumented immigrant from Mauritius whom they hire to care for Laura, sparks artistic inspiration for both Adam and Anita, as well as a renewed energy in their relationship. But this harmony proves to be short-lived, brought down by their separate transgressions of Adèle’s privacy and a subsequently tragic turn of events. With the careful observation, vivid description, and emotional resonance that are the hallmarks of her previous novel, The Last Brother, in Waiting for Tomorrow Nathacha Appanah investigates the life of the artist, the question of cultural differences within a marriage, and the creation and the destruction of a family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freaky Friday for the 21st century . . Joaquin Dorfman is back with another smart novel that pushes the envelope of literary fiction, examining identity, high school roles, and even the high-blown concept of destiny through a cool science-fiction lens. What if, in a Freaky Friday moment, a wise and humble 40-year-old man woke one morning to find himself transported back in time, into his body more than 20 years before, when he was the popular, entitled, and arrogant quarterback of the school football team? Could the man do anything to stop a tragedy initiated by the cruel actions of the boy, or is fate too strong a force? It’s the small-town football worship of Friday Night Lights with a dark and unsettling Donnie Darko twist. Praise for Playing It Cool: * “A sophisticated mystery/romance/coming-of-age story full of red herrings and elaborate schemes.”—School Library Journal, Starred

Download or read book The Naked Truth written by Bhekizazi Arthur Mbambo and published by Partridge Africa. This book was released on 2015-10-02 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NAKED TRUTH-Was decided upon after I realized that the lives of many believers are lacking the fundamental Biblical truths. Because of the many denominations and doctrines the believer is left confused and not knowing what to believe anymore. It is hoped that this book will bring some relive and certainty to the reader by taking you on a journey through the Scriptures. It also attempts to deal with very sensitive issues hardly taught or wrongly taught in some churches. It will stir the waters and rock the boat; forcing the reader to come out of his/her comfort zone. This is its prime goal! Its secondary goal is to revolutionize the mind and create a hunger for the Word of truth. It is my sincere prayer that God touches you as you read on and that He instils a burning desire in your heart for the revelation of the word of truth. May the Holy Spirit anoint every word written for the Glory of God and for the empowerment of His people!
