Book excerpt: Four English sisters share a terrible family secret in this novel from “the suspense writers’ suspense writer” and author of Trick or Treat (Harper’s Bazaar). Winner of the Somerset Maugham and Betty Trask Awards In a decaying house along the marshy Fenlands of Eastern England, four sisters—Milly, Agatha, and identical, inseparable twins Ellen and Esther—have lived in self-imposed isolation for more than sixty years. Like good sisters, they bicker, go about their daily routines, and believe the bright myth they’ve created about their childhood. Sometimes Milly can recall a blessedly unexceptional youth of ordinary days, domestic tranquility, and young love. But what came after is so much more consuming, and so much harder to forget. So are the questions no one dares to answer out loud . . . Why does Milly still count the knives? What was the corruption their father warned them about? Was their mother really swallowed up by the roaring river? And why does no one sing to Baby George anymore, who’s locked away in the cellar? As a ceaseless rain lashes away at the house, the sisters prepare for a coming storm. With it comes the threat of steadily rising waters that will give up the secrets still holding them in thrall. “A fairytale gone gruesomely wrong”, Lesley Glaister’s debut novel was the recipient of the Somerset Maugham Award, for which she joined the likes of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Sarah Waters, and Ian McEwan (The Literary Review). An “eerily tragic and mesmerizing first novel” (Publishers Weekly), Honour Thy Father is “a true original” (The Sunday Times).

Download or read book The Unbroken Thread written by Sohrab Ahmari and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We’ve pursued and achieved the modern dream of defining ourselves—but at what cost? An influential columnist and editor makes a compelling case for seeking the inherited traditions and ideals that give our lives meaning. “Ahmari’s tour de force makes tradition astonishingly vivid and relevant for the here and now.”—Rod Dreher, bestselling author of Live Not by Lies and The Benedict Option As a young father and a self-proclaimed “radically assimilated immigrant,” opinion editor Sohrab Ahmari realized that when it comes to shaping his young son’s moral fiber, today’s America is woefully lacking. For millennia, the world’s great ethical and religious traditions have taught that true happiness lies in pursuing virtue and accepting limits. But now, unbound from these stubborn traditions, we are free to choose whichever way of life we think is most optimal—or, more often than not, merely the easiest. All that remains are the fickle desires that a wealthy, technologically advanced society is equipped to fulfill. The result is a society riven by deep conflict and individual lives that, for all their apparent freedom, are marked by alienation and stark unhappiness. In response to this crisis, Ahmari offers twelve questions for us to grapple with—twelve timeless, fundamental queries that challenge our modern certainties. Among them: Is God reasonable? What is freedom for? What do we owe our parents, our bodies, one another? Exploring each question through the lives and ideas of great thinkers, from Saint Augustine to Howard Thurman and from Abraham Joshua Heschel to Andrea Dworkin, Ahmari invites us to examine the hidden assumptions that drive our behavior and, in doing so, to live more humanely in a world that has lost its way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Friendships, connections, family ties, trust, loyalty, obedience-this was the 'glue' that held us together." These were the principles that the greatest Mafia "Boss of Bosses," Joseph Bonnano, lived by. Born in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Bonnano found his future amid the whiskey-running, riotous streets of Prohibition America in 1924, when he illegally entered the United States to pursue his dreams. By the age of only twenty-six, Bonnano became a Don. He would eventually take over the New York underworld, igniting the "Castellammarese War," one of the bloodiest Family battles ever to hit New York City... Now, in this candid and stunning memoir, Joe Bonanno-likely a model for Don Corleone in the blockbuster movie The Godfather-takes readers inside the world of the real Mafia. He reveals the inner workings of New York's Five Families-Bonanno, Gambino, Profaci, Lucchese, and Genovese-and uncovers how the Mafia not only dominated local businesses, but also influenced national politics. A fascinating glimpse into the world of crime, A Man of Honor is an unforgettable account of one of the most powerful crime figures in America's history.

Download or read book Honor Thy Father written by Jordan Carroll and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honor Thy Father continues the story of a deeply religious man, his son, and seven daughters. In the beginning, Josef Kusak dedicates his firstborn to the Lord; other sons will follow to love the land as he does. But as the years go by and daughters arrive to fill his house, he is torn between honoring his promise to God and holding on to the son who would inherit the land and carry on the Kusak name. The conflict comes to a head in his eightieth year when his son becomes impatient for the land he was promised. After a lifetime of building a family legacy, Josef Kusak faces betrayal from the son who was to inherit not only the land but also a spiritual legacy of faith. In an effort to make things right with God and give his son the freedom to choose his own path, he turns to his daughters. The middle daughter returns to the land as a peacemaker and finds herself embroiled in a battle that is bigger than the land takeover her brother has in mind. The battle takes her to New York, Toronto, and Vancouver in search of the lost genes of the blue iris. Instead of locating mink, Corrine Jorrell finds a Canadian troubadour and more adventure than the novels she aspires to write. She begins a game that will bring her father peace of mind and change her brother's heart. The game that will bring Jean-Pierre Robillard to Oregon is filled with false impressions and ironic humor as a small-town teacher pits herself against a man of the world. As the game continues, a parable comes to life, a story that will change Andrew Kusak into the man he was meant to be, a man who honors his father and his God.
Download or read book Why Honor Matters written by Tamler Sommers and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A controversial call to put honor at the center of morality To the modern mind, the idea of honor is outdated, sexist, and barbaric. It evokes Hamilton and Burr and pistols at dawn, not visions of a well-organized society. But for philosopher Tamler Sommers, a sense of honor is essential to living moral lives. In Why Honor Matters, Sommers argues that our collective rejection of honor has come at great cost. Reliant only on Enlightenment liberalism, the United States has become the home of the cowardly, the shameless, the selfish, and the alienated. Properly channeled, honor encourages virtues like courage, integrity, and solidarity, and gives a sense of living for something larger than oneself. Sommers shows how honor can help us address some of society's most challenging problems, including education, policing, and mass incarceration. Counterintuitive and provocative, Why Honor Matters makes a convincing case for honor as a cornerstone of our modern society.

Book excerpt: PARAGRAPH DESCRIPTION: A beautiful surgeon with a secret, a tough cop with a hardened heart, and the bizarre murder that sparks their love affair, all combine in this multicultural thriller set in a modern Los Angeles hospital. As Detective Mike Tucci investigates an assortment of suspects, he discovers that each of them had a reason for killing the lovely Dr. Marika Javid. Or could the killer be someone from her hidden past, long ago in a faraway land? And could his new lover, Dr. Tara White, be the next victim?BRIEF SYNOPSIS: A 15-year-old Iranian girl is viciously attacked by her father for holding a boy's hand. In running to escape certain death, she undertakes a dangerous journey to a new land with unfamiliar customs, where she must hide the truth from everyone she meets. Twenty years later, amid racial tensions in a Los Angeles hospital, a female Muslim doctor is murdered, sparking a controversial police investigation. The lead investigator, Detective Michael Tucci, finds himself compromising both his job and his life as he embroils himself in an affair with the beautiful Dr. Tara White, the victim's associate, who could be the killer's next target. Which suspect would have had a reason to kill her colleague, Marika, and possibly even Tara herself: the distinguished neurosurgeon who was Marika's mentor, jealous of her youth and ambition; the rebuffed shy resident who once dated her; Marika's secret lover or his bitter wife; Marika's fundamentalist cousin, angry with her modern ways; any of the volatile protestors, picketing too many foreigners taking their jobs; or someone Marika knew, returning from her hidden past? Inspired by the controversial issue of honor killings, Dishonor Thy Father is a multicultural thriller spanning three decades and two continents that boldly explores contemporary issues of ethnicity, sexism, spirituality, and social mores in today's complex and heated political environment.
Download or read book Honor Thy Father and Mother written by Luisa Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honor Thy Father and Mother is an unflinching portrayal of family cruelties. Eighteen year old Nora, a child of Holocause survivors, struggles to negotiate life with parents who are both victims and perpetrators. The story opens as she runs from an abusive home into the arms of a violent boyfriend. During the course of a year, she marries, gives birth to a stillborn child, divorces and is twice raped by her father. Dissociated from childhood memories of sexual abuse, and uncannily split off from her father's current attacks, she is a woman divided from herself. Thus we can see in Nora a psychological study of a fragmented personality. Consoled by her studies, and empowered by her books, she is able, finally, to rise up against her father and thus put an end to his assaults. While she remains, at the end, disconnected from truths too painful to acknowledge, we see in her fierce will and intellect a road map towards recovery.
