Download or read book The Long Weekend written by Jane E. James and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hazel Ladd has spent her whole life hiding the love she feels for one of her daughters and disguising the hatred she feels for the other. She wondered why it didn’t hurt more. Surely the guilt alone should have her crawling, with bloody knees, on the sand? After fifteen years apart, they all meet up for a long weekend. Hazel’s guilty secret is finally torn from her and the long-anticipated family reunion ends in disaster, with chilling results. The novel is set against the haunting backdrop of a wintry Norfolk coastline and a remote lighthouse that overlooks the bleak North Sea. Making sandcastles has never been so dangerous in this dark, creepy and multi-layered mystery, where nothing is what it seems and whose troubled female protagonist starts to lose her grip on reality, putting her family’s lives in danger. This is a disturbing portrayal of a deeply complex mother, whose longed-for family reunion with her two estranged daughters goes horribly wrong. All she’d ever tried to do was protect her daughters from the truth... The Long Weekend explores the theme of maternal love and how the ‘sins of the mother’ affect the daughters. It also focuses on how dysfunctional patterns repeat across generations. Jane E. James weaves gothic and supernatural elements through her novel to create a truly chilling read that will appeal particularly to fans of mystery novels.

Download or read book Corporeal Archipelagos written by Julia Frengs and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporeal Archipelagos: Writing the Body in Francophone Oceanian Women’s Literature offers an examination of contemporary literature from the French-speaking Oceanian region through a focus on four of its most prolific women writers and the ways in which these writers negotiate identity construction through one of the most powerful identity markers in the region: the body. The question of the body – how one is to make meaning through corporeality, how one represents the body, and what role the body plays in identity construction – is not only a question with which feminists and postcolonial theorists have been grappling for nearly a half-century. The body is of integral significance to autochthonous Oceanian societies, whose views of corporeality are not built upon a dualistic mind-body binary that has influenced Western thought since the era of Descartes, but rather on a cosmological, epistemological axis that comprehends the body as intertwined with symbolic, social, and ideological understandings of identity. Beginning with an analysis of the ways in which the Oceanian body has been portrayed and consumed as an exotic object of fascination throughout three centuries of European literature, the book examines the myriad methods by which women writers break away from exotic myths and reappropriate the body as a powerful tool that enables them to confront the question of self-definition in French-speaking Oceania. The authors examined in this book employ culturally, racially, and sexually specific bodies in the creation of an original, confrontational literature that transgresses historically and culturally imposed boundaries, audaciously inserting their voices, the voices of Oceania, into the postcolonial francophone literary scene.

Maybe Piper should not have gotten involved with an unsuitable man in the weeks running up to Christmas.

Hell, it might go with a bang if she is not careful at the Christmas party. As a misunderstanding has every chance of bringing her world down to make it two Christmases on the trot to go from good to bad. Will Piper gain a better life for herself and her baby if she takes a leap of faith? On the other hand, would it be better all round for Piper to leave it before things get even more complicated than they are already? So rest up for a while and settle down to enjoy this sentimental but very British, humorous and heart-warming novel since a feel-good festive read is bound to leave its reader in a merry mood.
