Marble Heart

by Gretta Mulrooney

A riveting story that illuminates the lives of men and women at the heart of the troubles in Belfast Ireland starts out as a simple story of the friendship between Joan, a hard-working caregiver and her newest client, Nina, an upper class British woman separated from her devoted husband, Martin, who can't understand why his wife feels unworthy to be loved. Joan who has mourned the loss of her brother, Eddie, who was like a father to her and disappeared many years ago, thinks she has found happiness and a partner at last in Rich who is soon to be released from prison. Though she is rapidly becoming weaker because of a terminal illness, Nina teaches Joan about the finer points of decorating, raising plants, cooking and other sophisticated elements of domestic life. In turn, Joan gives Nina extra kind and careful care. When she is alone, Nina is preoccupied writing a series of letters to a former friend now living in Africa about their days together as radicals fighting for Irish Freedom, living with the leader of a small communist group and operating totally under his influence. The sincere and insincere motives of activists is revealed along with their romantic entanglements. Most startling is the planning, and execution of violence and its short and long term aftermath. As Nina nears death the characters come together in surprising ways, and whatever justice is possible is accomplished.

But his father has never fully believed in the music or Marcelo's differences, and he challenges Marcelo to work in the mailroom of his law firm for the summer . . . to join "the real world."There Marcelo meets Jasmine, his beautiful and surprising coworker, and Wendell, the son of another partner in the firm. He learns about competition and jealousy, anger and desire. But it's a picture he finds in a file - a picture of a girl with half a face - that truly connects him with the real world: its suffering, its injustice, and what he can do to fight.

Marcia Schuyler (Grace Livingston Hill #83)

by Grace Livingston Hill

The sun was already up and the grass blades were twinkling with sparkles of dew, as Marcia stepped from the kitchen door. She wore a chocolate calico with little sprigs of red and white scattered over it, her hair was in smooth brown braids down her back, and there was a flush on her round cheeks that might have been but the reflection of the rosy light in the East. Her face was as untroubled as the summer morning, in its freshness, and her eyes as dreamy as the soft clouds that hovered upon the horizon uncertain where they were to be sent for the day.

For the first time, there might be something more important than hockey. Gracen Moore has always loved Marek. That’s why she let him go, so he could pursue a career in the NHL.

Margaret Atwood: The Reworking of a Popular Genre

by Jackie Shead

Exploring how Margaret Atwood’s fiction reimagines the figure of the detective and the nature of crime, Jackie Shead shows how the author radically reworks the crime fiction genre. Shead focuses on Surfacing, Bodily Harm, Alias Grace, The Blind Assassin, Oryx and Crake and selected short fiction, showing the ways in which Atwood’s protagonists are confronted by their own collusion in hegemonic assumptions and thus are motivated to investigate and expose crimes of gender, class and colonialism. Shead begins with a discussion of how Atwood’s treatment of crime fiction’s generic elements, particularly those of the whodunit, clue puzzle and spy thriller, departs from convention. Through discussion of Atwood’s metafictive strategies, Shead also examines Atwood’s techniques for activating her readers as investigators who are offered an educative process parallel to that experienced by some of the author’s protagonists. This book also marks a significant intervention in an ongoing debate among Atwood critics that pits the author’s postmodernism against her ethical and humanistic concerns.

Margaret Mitchell and John Marsh: The Love Story Behind Gone With the Wind

by Marianne Walker

Based on almost 200 previously unpublished letters and extensive interviews with their closest associates, Walker's biography of Margaret Mitchell and her husband, John Marsh, offers a new look into a devoted marriage and fascinating partnership that ultimately created a Pulitzer Prize winning novel. This edition of Walker's biography celebrates the seventy-fifth anniversary of the publication of Gone With the Wind in 1936. In lively extracts from their letters to family and friends, John and Margaret, who also went by Peggy, describe the stormy years of their courtship, their bohemian lifestyle as a young married couple, the arduous but fulfilling years when Peggy was writing her famous novel, the thrill of its acceptance for publication and its literary success, and the excitement of the making of the movie. In telling the private side of this twenty-four-year marriage, author Marianne Walker reveals a long-suspected truth: Gone With the Wind might have never been written were it not for John Marsh. He was Peggy's best friend and constant champion, and he became her editor, proofreader, researcher, business manager, and the inspiration and motivation behind her writing. At every point, including the turbulent years of Mitchell's first marriage to Red Upshaw, it was John who provided the intellectual stimulation, emotional support, and editorial insights that allowed Peggy to channel her talents into the creation of her astounding Civil War epic. Through years of meticulous research, Marianne Walker reveals the intimate and moving love story between a husband and wife, and between a writer and her editor.
