After completing her studies in 1938, she worked for the French government in the Ministry of the Colonies. She soon abandoned this to concentrate on political science. In 1933, Duras embarked alone for Paris to study law and mathematics. Duras returned to Saigon again with Paul and her mother in 1932 and completed her second baccalaureate, leaving Pierre in France. In 1931, when she was 17, Duras and her family moved to France and she completed her baccalaureate. The family struggled financially and her mother made a bad investment in an isolated property and area of rice farmland in Prey Nob, a story which was fictionalized in Un Barrage contre le Pacifique. They then moved back to French Indochina when she was posted to Phnom Penh followed by Vĩnh Long and Sa Đéc. Between 19, the surviving family lived in France while her mother was on administrative leave. Henri Donnadieu fell ill, returned to France, and then died in 1921. Marguerite had two older siblings: Pierre, the eldest, and Paul. Her parents, Marie (née Legrand, 1877-1956) and Henri Donnadieu (1872-1921), were teachers from France who likely had met at Gia Định High School. Marguerite Duras was born Marguerite Donnadieu on 4 April 1914, in Gia Định, Cochinchina, French Indochina (now Vietnam). Next thing Hannah knows, the police have declared The Cookie Jar's kitchen crime scene off-limits. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake burnt to a crisp-and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah's famous blueberry muffins. Turns out America's "Cooking Sweetheart" is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Hannah's suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac's limo rolls into town. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cable TV cooking show-sweet, light, and scrumptious-looking, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Too bad the honor of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac-a half-baked idea, in Hannah's opinion. Preparations are underway for Lake Eden, Minnesota's annual Winter Carnival-and Hannah Swensen is set to bake up a storm at her popular shop, The Cookie Jar.

It’s a story of first contact, which starts when a massive object crashes into the ocean off the coast of Lagos, Nigeria. The first thing to be said about Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor is that it is infused with this great, chaotic energy running through it – both in terms of narrative form and in actual story content. How did I get this book: Review copy from publishers Lagoon expertly juggles multiple points of view and crisscrossing narratives with prose that is at once propulsive and poetic, combining everything from superhero comics to Nigerian mythology to tie together a story about a city consuming itself.Īt its heart a story about humanity at the crossroads between the past, present, and future, Lagoon touches on political and philosophical issues in the rich tradition of the very best science fiction, and ultimately asks us to consider the things that bind us together – and the things that make us human. When a massive object crashes into the ocean off the coast of Lagos, Nigeria’s most populous and legendary city, three people wandering along Bar Beach (Adaora, the marine biologist- Anthony, the rapper famous throughout Africa- Agu, the troubled soldier) find themselves running a race against time to save the country they love and the world itself… from itself. HE Bates’ ‘Darling Buds’ series is one that I read in my early teens and it has always been very dear to me. In particular it is the beautiful story of the love and trust that grows between the injured head flight pilot and the daughter of the French family. ‘Fair Stood the Wind for France’ by H E Bates is a war time work of fiction that deals with the story of a group of British airmen, who are compelled to make a forced landing in occupied France and have to take refuge in the home of a kind French family, who risk all they hold dear to help the men.

Categories Adult Fiction, Science Fiction and Fantasy Though much of Spinning Silver is fantasy, the antisemitism that shapes the outlook of so many of its characters is not. That said, Spinning Silver is the darker and more complicated story, and much of that complexity and darkness comes from a simple fact: Miryem, the central character in the novel, and her family are Jews. With its combination of Eastern European culture, fairy-tale like magic, and modern sensibilities, Spinning Silver has much in common with Naomi Novik’s Uprooted, and folks who enjoyed Uprooted will enjoy Spinning Silver as well. The economy is largely agrarian with barley and wool playing an important role. Spinning Silver is a fairy-tale inspired fantasy set in Lithvas, a fictional country with with elements of Lithuanian, Polish, and Russian history and culture.
There was just too much going on in this book. Also, Rexi’s link to Dorothea means that she gets her memories and her emotions, which results in a weird, completely unnecessary love triangle that doesn’t make any sense. It’s a little dark and disturbing for an otherwise campy story. The problem is, every time Rexi dies, she goes to the underworld – Nome Ore – and is forced to sacrifice a link from her chain, aka a memory, in order to return. Rexi can die, but Dorothea is able to bring her back. After the events of Spelled, Rexi’s life force is tied to Dorothea, which basically makes her immortal – in the same way that Jack Harkness is. The main character in Wanted is Rexi, the sidekick from the first book. Wanted, however, seems to take all of the things that annoyed me in the first book and expand on them, and what comes out is just a mess. It had its issues, but on the whole it was a cute story with good character progression and relationship developments. Spelled is a semi-retelling of The Wizard of Oz with some Baba Yaga and other fairy tales thrown in. Wanted is the second book in Betsy Schow’s Storymakers series, but whereas the first book, Spelled, was charming and fun, Wanted is merely chaotic and confusing.

I wasn’t prepared for this particular bad boy. He wanted me to be his chaperone, his overpaid babysitter. When my father gave me a job, I had no idea it would be to babysit some washed up NHL player. All I had to do was prove I learned from my mistakes, so no way would I fall for a chick with a pouty mouth even if I wanted to spend all day devouring it. A knock on the door brought an opportunity I couldn’t turn down. At twenty-three I was cut from the team and living back home with my parents.
