![]() What Lucy omitted, we learn - what Lucy hid? - radically alters our understanding of what Lucy said. Where the earlier book turned on the crystalline austerity and reserve of its narrative voice, guided by Strout’s unerring sense of what Lucy would omit, the new work almost literally undoes the older one. ![]() But it’s actually something far more complex, reaching across space (think of Faulkner’s work, or Louise Erdrich’s) and through layers of memory. “Anything Is Possible” might look like a sequel, since it takes place after the action of Elizabeth Strout’s best-selling 2016 novel, “My Name Is Lucy Barton,” and portrays many of the same characters.

In ‘Soul Taken’, Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must face her greatest fears in this chilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Drawing together the most recent archaeological and historical research, "Pompeii" offers a vivid, and unprecedented, portrait of the city during the eventful twenty-five years leading up to the eruption that destroyed it. As the clouds of ash blotted out the sun following the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, so the everyday world of ancient Pompeii has become obscured by the city's almost mythic status.

Of course it’s hard to forget Henson is revered for her role as Cookie Lyon, for which she’s received a Golden Globe. In her book, penned with Denene Millner (Atria/37 INK), Henson writes candidly about the challenges she’s faced and how she’s overcome them, such as when she went into “Single Mom Hustle Mode” when Idris Elba needed convincing to join her in the 2014 flick No Good Deed. ![]() ![]() The turn of phrase LL Cool J used to describe a real woman who “ain't scared to do her thing” in his 1990 hit of the same name describes the Empire actress to a P. Henson’s memoir, Around the Way Girl, couldn’t be more fitting. ![]() ![]() ![]() He chose when they had sex Carolyn could only refuseat her peril. He controlled the money she earned as a school teacher. He decided where she lived and how her children would be treated. Over the next fifteen years, Carolyn had eight children and withstood her husbands psychological abuse and the watchful eyes of his other wives who were locked in a constant battle for supremacy.Ĭarolyns every move was dictated by her husbands whims. But arranged plural marriages were an integral part of Carolyns heritage: She was born into and raised in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), the radical offshoot of the Mormon Church that had settled in small communities along the Arizona-Utah border. ![]() ![]() When she was eighteen years old, Carolyn Jessop was coerced into an arranged marriage with a total stranger: a man thirty-two years her senior. ![]() ![]() The prose (or, perhaps more appropriately, the storytelling) can be awkward at times: There seems to be no trust that the reader will hold on to certain concepts (like the emerging nature of the sword’s enchantment), and thus the same information will be repeated incessantly. ![]() The story would better be described as something of a melancholic character drama. In reality, there’s nothing particularly funny about the book at all, and it’s rather clear that Watt-Evans never meant it to be. The back cover blurb on my copy of the book gives the impression that this will all result in something of a farce – like Asprin or Anthony in their prime. Unfortunately, as the character rapidly learns, the sword’s enchantments include some rather annoying side-effects – among them the fact that the main character can’t get rid of it. The concept of the plot is a fairly clever twist on familiar themes: The main character, trapped in the middle of a generational religious war between the followers of the gods and the northern demon-worshippers, is gifted with a magic sword. The attitude can, perhaps, best be summed up by a quote from the book itself: “They wanted to believe in heroes, not ordinary, everyday magic.” (Think about it.) The world is soaked in magic – one of those mid-‘80s creations of heavily D&D-influenced fantasy. ![]() ![]() The Misenchanted Sword is the first of Lawrence Watt-Evans’ Ethshar novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() Based on hundreds of interviews with the directors themselves, as well as producers, stars, studio executives, writers, spouses, ex-spouses, and girlfriends, this is the full story of the crazy world the directors ruled. ![]() One of the most exhilarating periods in film history, it began with Easy Rider in the late 1960s and ended with Raging Bull and Beverly Hills shrouded under a blanket of coke in 1980.
