Download or read book Something New written by Anne Plumptre and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 1996-09-09 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be a heroine is to be beautiful—such has been the unstated assumption from the time of chivalric romance to that of Harlequin romance. But this ideology of ‘the beauty myth’ was challenged as early as 1801 with the publication of this extraordinary epistolary novel-romance. Something New explores sexual roles and questions with subtlety and astonishingly modern insight the prevailing ‘rights’ of men over women, and their respective attitudes towards one another. The book explores how issues of beauty, femininity and self-support are central to the main character, Olivia, and her suitor Lionel. Lionel, who has always been ‘the devoted slave of beauty,’ becomes convinced that marriage to the ‘proverbially plain’ Olivia will lead them to ‘a little paradise on earth.’ Do they attain this paradise? The resolution to this romance retains the power to surprise the reader as much today as it did when Something New was first published.

Luckily, she forges a connection with fellow archaeologist Anton Kelley who is more than happy to indulge Adie's passions – both professional and personal. But as Adie navigates her increasingly thorny relationships with the two men, she learns they have an equally complicated history. Once, Killian was driven by the same thirst for discovery that fuels Adie, until his youthful enthusiasm cost him everything he held dear – his career, his friends, and the love of his life. He's still haunted by those past mistakes, even as he finds himself inexplicably drawn, against his better judgement, by Adie's drive and keen spirit. Both of which leave him itching to guide and possess her in equal measure. As the excavation progresses, the three archaeologists must combine their talents to locate a missing relic before Killian's bitter rival, a cult leader intent on cashing in on their efforts, gets to it first. With grave robbers, fanatical groupies, and pesky feelings complicating the mission, the team compete in a high-stakes race against time.

Download or read book Quite Ugly One Morning written by Christopher Brookmyre and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning first Parlabane thriller mixes paranoia and politics for “a lean, nasty, fun little page-turner” about a powerful Scottish scion’s murder (The New York Times). Investigative journalist Jack Parlabane has visited plenty of crime scenes, but whoever carved up Dr. Jeremy Ponsonby wanted to send a particularly revolting message. As jet-lagged, hungover, and nauseated as he may be, Parlabane knows this was no break-in gone wrong. Dr. Sarah Slaughter, anaesthetist and ex-wife of the victim, is beginning to believe it, too. Ponsonby had plenty of secrets, but the motivations for her ex-husband’s murder cut even deeper than they can imagine. Are Parlabane and Slaughter a match for the skullduggery? It depends on how much more of the black morals and full-color bloodshed of the Edinburgh medical society they can stomach in this “thrillingly unpleasant” winner of the First Blood Award for Best First Crime Novel of the Year (Esquire).
