Book excerpt: John Stone, a man so wealthy that in the years before World War One he was able to manipulate markets, industries and indeed whole countries and continents, has been found dead in mysterious circumstances. His beautiful young widow commissions a journalist to carry out an unusual bequest in his will but as he begins his research he soon discovers a story far more complex than he could have ever imagined... As the story moves backwards through time, from London in 1909 to Paris in 1809, before concluding in Venice in 1867, the mystery of John Stone's life and loves begins to unravel. The result is a spellbinding novel that is both a quest for the truth, a love story that spans decades and a compelling murder mystery.
Download or read book Stone s Fall written by Iain Pears and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tour de force in the tradition of Iain Pears’ international bestseller, An Instance of the Fingerpost, Stone’s Fall weaves a story of love and high finance into the fabric of a page-turning thriller. A novel to stand alongside Atonement and The Remains of the Day. A panoramic novel with a riveting mystery at its heart, Stone’s Fall is a quest, a love story, and a tale of murder—richly satisfying and completely engaging on many levels. It centres on the career of a very wealthy financier and the mysterious circumstances of his death, cast against the backdrop of WWI and Europe’ s first great age of espionage, the evolution of high-stakes international finance and the beginning of the twentieth century’s arms race. Stone’s Fall is a major return to the thriller form that first launched Iain Pears onto bestseller lists around the world and that earned him acclaim as a mesmerizing storyteller.

Download or read book Churchyard and cemetery written by Julie Rugg and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores, for the first time, the turbulent social history of churchyards and cemeteries over the last 150 years. Using sites from across rural North Yorkshire, the text examines the workings of the Burial Acts and discloses the ways in which religious politics framed burial management. It presents an alternative history of burial which questions notions of tradition and modernity, and challenges long-standing assumptions about changing attitudes towards mortality in England. This study diverges from the long-standing tendency to regard the churchyard as inherently ‘traditional’ and the cemetery as essentially ‘modern’. Since 1850, both types of site have been subject to the influence of new expectations that burial space would guarantee family burial and the opportunity for formal commemoration. Although the population in central North Yorkshire declined, demand for burial space rose, meaning that many dozens of churchyards were extended, and forty new cemeteries were laid out. This text is accessible to undergraduates and postgraduates, and will be an essential resource for historians, archaeologists and local government officials.

I flew through this book quicker than stonefall and I can’t wait to get my hands on downfall. I was worried at first that the quality of stories would take a hit with new authors taking a stab at the invasion universe, but that isn’t the case." -- B. DeAug ★★★★★ "I love this second installment of the Stonefall series. As an avid fan of the Invasion series, I was skeptical about any new series that was derived from Invasion. So far, Stonefall, and subsequently Snowfall, has lived up to my expectations. I found this book hard to put down, and it proved a story travel companion!" -- TRheams ★★★★★ "I love the pace and flow of these stories! Though I really liked Stonefall, so far, Snowfall is my favorite, and I'm on pins and needles waiting for Downfall! Platt and Wright have such awesome writing chemistry, with fast paced action that starts immediately, and does not let up at all, and characters that are so well developed I feel like I know them! It's so easy to open one of their books, and totally disappear into that world." -- WordBird ★★★★★ "This book isn't for the faint of heart. But it's totally enjoyable and continues to expand on the world beset by aliens that was first introduced in the Invasion series. A must-read if you like this genre of sci fi." -- DBStevens ★★★★★ "This is the second of 3 and I actually enjoyed this one more! I loved the first book, but some of the violence was off-putting. This book isn't violence-free (at all) but it is slightly less graphic (or at least it struck me that way). The action never stopped and there were lots of twisty story lines! I can't wait for the final book!" -- SLE Snowfall is the second book in the Stonefall trilogy. If you enjoy watching the world crumble and the survivors struggle to survive, pick up your copy today.
