Nisha’s growth as a character is essential to making this story seem plausible and Veera Hiranandani does an exceptional job at showing that growth in tiny steps and then giant leaps as she faces tragedies she would never have been able to survive at the beginning of her story. The language in this book reflects Nisha’s innocence and the maturity that is thrust upon her as her family attempts to make the journey from Pakistan to India. The author notes that this story is loosely based on her father’s journey and says that it “is a combination of known history and imagined scenarios to create one possible story that could have taken place at this time.” The author’s note gives the reader more perspective into the actual historical events that happened in August 1947 when an estimated 14 million people crossed from one side to another according to their religion. ![]() ![]() ![]() On 21 June 1922, Count Alexander Rostov – recipient of the Order of Saint Andrew, member of the Jockey Club, Master of the Hunt – is escorted out of the Kremlin, across Red Square and through the elegant revolving doors of the Hotel Metropol.ĭeemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the Count has been sentenced to house arrest indefinitely.

Strong, brooding Hades has shouldered the crushing responsibility of protecting the lower city ever since Zeus killed his parents, and very nearly him, when he was a boy. When socialite Persephone Dimitriou’s mother, Demeter, tries to force her into a strategic marriage to the much-older, alleged wife killer Zeus, Persephone flees the upper city of Olympus across the River Styx - and straight into the arms of Hades, the infamous ruler of the lower city.

The girl on the other side of the bed rolled over and narrowed her eyes at the new addition to our awkward little party. I didn’t bother to cover up she was used to walking in and finding me hung over and naked so I didn’t see why today needed to be any different. ![]() I never should have given the little brat a key. I ran a hand over my face and swung my legs over the edge of the bed just as the bedroom door swung open. A soft moan from the other side of the bed reminded me that I hadn’t come home from the bar last night alone, not that I remembered the girl’s name or what she looked like or if had even been worth her time to stumble into my apartment with me. At first I thought the pounding in my head was my brain trying to fight its way out of my skull after the ten or so shots of Crown Royal I had downed last night, but then I remembered that it was Sunday and no matter how many times I told her, or how rude, or whatever kind of debauched and unsavory condition she found me in she showed up on Sunday morning to drag me home for brunch. ![]() ![]() ![]() But in order to live and salvage them both, she will first have to save herself.

The fifth Baum story of Oz (1909) proves to be even weaker than its predecessor, because apart from a couple misadventures (the Shaggy Man gets temporarily stuck with a donkey head and Button-Bright a fox head), and only one brief, delicious threat (the Scoodlers, who have a black side and a white side and can show and walk in either direction, are able to toss their heads at our heroes as weapons, and intend to cook them for soup!), it's mostly old home week: not only reuniting with a range of characters from the earlier four books (from the Tin Woodman and Scarecrow to Tik-Tok and Billina), but meeting a variety of characters from Baum's other recent books, such as Queen Zixi of Ix, the Queen and Candy Man of Merryland, King Dough the First (a gingerbread monarch), and even Santa Claus.

There is also the eerie emptiness of nature in New England, the dark, wooded landscape that seems hollow, and menacing, without a history. The visitor to Stockbridge is liable to feel certain ghostlinesses in the town: a gloomy Puritan history lingers, a trace, perhaps, of the ferocious Calvinist divine Jonathan Edwards. Weird, too, in the way that Tennyson meant it, particularly as the word appears in his poem ‘The Princess’. Not in the diminished, all-too-contemporary sense of merely odd, or strange, but weird as Shakespeare might have meant it: ‘having the power to control the fate or destiny of men’, ‘partaking or suggestive of the supernatural’ ( OED).
