It may be light but for me the attraction is the intrigue about the circumstances that would make a small child disappear and encourage parents embrace silence on the subject as if she hadn't existed. (Both called The Jane Austen Book Club oddly enough.) It was therefore with great eagerness I cracked this novel open, described by Son Number 2 as one of the lighter Man Booker 2014 long-list offerings. Karen Joy Fowler is the American literary fiction/SF/fantasy author who made a best seller about a book club discussing Jane Austen which eventually spawned a film. As she grows to adulthood, Rosemary remembers trying to come to terms with this, the damage that being a daughter of a psychologist has wrought and the revealed secrets that will finally make sense of it all. The knock on effect was the angry departure of Rosemary's older brother Lowell whom she also misses. Curiously enough, her mother and father don't speak of it. Rosemary went to stay with her grandparents and, on her return Fern was no longer there. Rosemary's childhood is blighted by the disappearance of her sister, Fern. Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2014 A worthwhile way of spending an afternoon? Definitely, but enjoyment may be diminished if you know the twist beforehand. Summary: An intriguing tale of sibling and parental relationships that turns on an original twist.

I read this book because I was interested to see what Behn - the first known professional female writer - had to offer. She was, as Edmund Gosse remarked, 'the George Sand of the Restoration,' and she lived the Bohemian life in London in the seventeenth century as George Sand lived it in Paris in the nineteenth. Her success depended upon her ability to write like a man.'. catered habitually to the lowest and most depraved of human inclinations. furiously resented.' She was, as Felix Shelling said, 'a very gifted woman, compelled to write for bread in an age in which literature. for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds." Vita Sackville-West called Behn 'an inhabitant of Grub Street with the best of them. Woolf wrote, "All women together, ought to let flowers fall upon the grave of Aphra Behn. In author Virginia Woolf's reckoning, Behn's total career is more important than any particular work it produced. Along with Delarivier Manley and Eliza Haywood, she is sometimes referred to as part of "The fair triumvirate of wit." Her writing contributed to the amatory fiction genre of British literature. Aphra Behn was a prolific dramatist of the English Restoration and was one of the first English professional female writers.

Christmas Movie Night! A Castle for Christmas. Her Second Death by Melinda Leigh ~ a Review.The Unannounced Christmas Visitor by Patrick Higgi.Her ex-boyfriend is appalled when he finds out that she has stolen a baby and wants to go into hiding. Cally has no real plan and no experience in caring for a baby. Ruth and Hal get a call from the hospital that Cally and the baby have disappeared and they start to desperately search for the baby. Cally calls her ex-boyfriend and asks him to pick her up at the hospital and when he gets there, she puts the baby in a duffel bag and climbs out of the window. She feels very close to the baby and isn't sure that she can give the baby to Ruth and Hal. Once the little girl is born, Cally begins to wonder if she made a mistake. The pregnancy goes well and Ruth is excited when Cally goes into labor. Hal draws up a contract that should cover all aspects of using Cally as a surrogate and the money that they give to Cally will be enough for her to go to college. She was unable to get pregnant so she and Hal, a lawyer, decide to use a surrogate and find Cally, a healthy 19-year-old who wants to go to college but doesn't have the money. After they got married and she became part of his family with his unfriendly two teenage sons, she decided that she wanted a baby. She wasn't interested in getting married until she met Hal and there were immediate sparks between them. Things didn’t exactly end well, and what later unfurls is a engrossing story of reconnection, true love, genuine pain, and all the beautiful and hurtful things that make up a life in between. Shane is naturally intimidating with his poignant talent and GQ-esque face, but this run-in is also inherently unnerving for Eva since the two kind of fell in love with each other years ago when they were teenagers. It’s difficult to be a best-selling writer at any turn, but Eva is completely thrown for a loop when she runs into award-winning literary icon Shane Hall at a panel for Black authors. The book follows Eva, a brilliant, best-selling erotica author and amazing mother who is trying her best to juggle it all while also dealing with a chronic case of horrible migraines. We had dinner on my porch, with the birds squawking and freeway humming, and I listened as she told me stories from an epic journey she recently returned from-a solo trip to Europe and Asia where she’d had food and art and a Beyoncé-related adventure.
