Download or read book Forty Rooms written by Olga Grushin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internationally acclaimed author of The Dream Life of Sukhanov now returns to gift us with Forty Rooms, which outshines even that prizewinning novel. Totally original in conception and magnificently executed, Forty Rooms is mysterious, withholding, and ultimately emotionally devastating. Olga Grushin is dealing with issues of women’s identity, of women’s choices, that no modern novel has explored so deeply. “Forty rooms” is a conceit: it proposes that a modern woman will inhabit forty rooms in her lifetime. They form her biography, from childhood to death. For our protagonist, the much-loved child of a late marriage, the first rooms she is aware of as she nears the age of five are those that make up her family’s Moscow apartment. We follow this child as she reaches adolescence, leaves home to study in America, and slowly discovers sexual happiness and love. But her hunger for adventure and her longing to be a great poet conspire to kill the affair. She seems to have made her choice. But one day she runs into a college classmate. He is sure of his path through life, and he is protective of her. (He is also a great cook.) They drift into an affair and marriage. What follows are the decades of births and deaths, the celebrations, material accumulations, and home comforts—until one day, her children grown and gone, her husband absent, she finds herself alone except for the ghosts of her youth, who have come back to haunt and even taunt her. Compelling and complex, Forty Rooms is also profoundly affecting, its ending shattering but true. We know that Mrs. Caldwell (for that is the only name by which we know her) has died. Was it a life well lived? Quite likely. Was it a life complete? Does such a life ever really exist? Life is, after all, full of trade-offs and choices. Who is to say her path was not well taken? It is this ambiguity that is at the heart of this provocative novel.

She’s become an unstoppable force, and those who are smart will stay out of her way. Jena was once a young, innocent girl whose only dreams were to live a simple teenager’s life, go to college, and share her love with her best friend, Jake Paterson. Fate, however, had other plans for her. Now she’s caught up in a world wind of turmoil, trying to find her way back to the girl she once knew—but that girl may be lost forever. In just a short time, her life has changed. Her father has been murdered, and her mother is dead as well. The revenge she sought in finding and killing Mr. McNeil—the man she blames for unleashing her dark side—is not enough to stop the rage that boils within. What’s more, there’s a secret from her past of which she remains unaware. Mystery still surrounds the event that robbed her of her innocence, and she must discover who did it and make them pay. The past collides with the present, and lies circle around them both as Jena finds herself once again deep in love, betrayed, and force to commit murder. Only time will tell whether Jena will find redemption, or whether her destiny has been sealed by the cold rage that lives deep within her.

Download or read book Bury This written by Andrea Portes and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2013-12-31 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If twenty-five years can discover the internet, the cell phone, this thing called the iPod, can twenty-five years discover the secret of a girl murdered, abandoned, by the side of the road? That is the haunting premise of Bury This, an impressionistic literary thriller about the murder of a young girl in small-town Michigan in 1979. Beth Krause was by all intents a good little girl – member of the church choir, beloved daughter of doting parents, friend to the downtrodden. But dig a little deeper into any small town, and conflicts and jealousies begin to appear. And somewhere is that heady mix lies the answer to what really happened to Beth Krause. Her unsolved murder becomes the stuff of town legend, and twenty-five years later the case is re-ignited when a group of film students start making a documentary on Beth’s fateful life. The town has never fully healed over the loss of Beth, and the new investigation calls into light several key characters: her father, a WWII vet; her mother, once the toast of Manhattan; her best friend, abandoned by her mother and left to fend for herself against an abusive father; and the detective, just a rookie when the case broke, haunted by his inability to bring Beth’s murderer to justice. All of these passions will collide once the identity of Beth’s murderer is revealed, proving once again that some secrets can never stay buried.
