Book excerpt: The moving yet humorous story of a girl struggling to care for herself and others in post-communist Slovakia. Emotionally neglected by her immature, promiscuous mother and made to care for her cantankerous dying grandmother, twelve-year-old Jarka is left to fend for herself in the social vacuum of a post-communist concrete apartment-block jungle in Bratislava, Slovakia. She spends her days roaming the streets and daydreaming in the only place she feels safe: a small garden inherited from her grandfather. One day, on her way to the garden, she stops at a suburban railway station and impulsively abducts twin babies. Jarka teeters on the edge of disaster, and while struggling to care for the babies, she discovers herself. With a vivid and unapologetic eye, Monika Kompaníková captures the universal quest for genuine human relationships amid the emptiness and ache of post-communist Europe. Boat Number Five, which was adapted into an award-winning Slovak film, is the first of two books that launch Seagull's much-anticipated Slovak List.

Download or read book The Mere Occasional Sin written by Nellie Forward and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a divorced, Irish-American woman who has fought hard for the stability and security she has at last found in her life; of a man of Native Canadian/Italian heritage who has thrown himself into his work as a detective with the RCMP to fill the void left from his broken marriage; and the outlaw biker gang that has taken any sense of security or normalcy from their lives and blown it straight to hell, while drawing them closer together. It takes the reader from Yonkers to Quebec and Ontario and back, along scenic highways and winding back roads, on the back of a $13,000 Ducati and in the seat of a Bell 427 helicopter. It has high-tech police surveillance operations and a quasi-primitive rescue on horseback. The feel is very up to the minute, incorporating changes in things such as security measures in ground and air traffic, police work and even people's behavior, in the aftermath of September 11th. It deals with the violence and tragedy (and camaraderie and humor) that is all a part of police work, as well as the excitement and joy (and mistakes and regrets) of a fledgeling relationship.
