I was fascinated by some of the historical material and loved learning about Scottish Travellers and river mussel pearls which kept my interest in the early parts of the novel. Unfortunately a disappointing read in the end. Julie must get to the bottom of the mystery in order to keep them from being framed for the crime. Her memory of that day returns to her in pieces, and when a body is discovered, her new friends are caught in the crosshairs of long-held biases about Travellers. As Julie grows closer to this family, she experiences some of the prejudices they’ve grown used to firsthand, a stark contrast to her own upbringing, and finds herself exploring thrilling new experiences that have nothing to do with a missing-person investigation. One of her family’s employees is missing, and he disappeared on the very same day she landed in the hospital.ĭesperate to figure out what happened, she befriends Euan McEwen, the Scottish Traveller boy who found her when she was injured, and his standoffish sister, Ellen. And once she returns to her grandfather’s estate, a bit banged up but alive, she begins to realize that her injury might not have been an accident. When fifteen-year-old Julia Beaufort-Stuart wakes up in the hospital, she knows the lazy summer break she’d imagined won’t be exactly like she anticipated. ![]() ![]() ![]() Label Who is Dolly Parton?, by True Kelley illustrated by Stephen Marchesi, (electronic resource) Link Reading level 5.0 Marchesi, Stephen Series statement Who is.

Laura, the main character, is a Latina (Cuban, specifically) lesbian living in Miami, but enjoyment of this great book is not limited to those that fit that profile, not by a long shot! I’m a straight white girl in North Carolina, and I really liked it. Necessary, because it represents a subset of the population that perhaps doesn’t have much literature to directly relate to. Mayra Lazara Dole‘s wonderful first novel is a very necessary addition to the somewhat limited selection of LBGTQ literature out there (and what there is seems to be more about gay boys than anything). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She and her rich banker husband Henry are onboard the luxury liner Empress Alexandra as it makes its way to New York in 1914 when it sinks after a mysterious explosion. ![]() It’s a narrative told through the eyes of one person in the boat, the just married twenty-two-year-old Grace Winter. The Lifeboat is an extraordinarily intense narrative that unflinchingly examines the individual’s will to survive. Who gets to live in those circumstances? Who deserves to die? And who has the right to make those decisions? Should the men in the boat sacrifice themselves for the female survivors? Those questions lie at the heart of this novel. For some of them to survive, some of them must die. But as the 39 castaways see hopes of an early rescue fade, their struggle for survival takes on a far more menacing aspect. In Charlotte Rogan’s debut novel, a disparate group of passengers from a luxury ocean liner are squashed in a small lifeboat adrift in a mid Atlantic.Īs you’d expect, a large part of The Lifeboat features tales of endurance against the elements and hostilities between the survivors. ![]() ![]() ![]() Vivian Dudro: The simple answer to why it was written is because the author wanted to write it! Aidan Nichols is a Dominican, scholar, and big fan of Sigrid Undset, and he just felt a desire to write it.Īs far as the timing goes, one of Undset’s big historical novels– The Master of Hestviken–is being re-translated, so maybe people will be introduced to her work through that and then want to find out more about her. Sigrid Undset: Reader of Hearts, a new biography and study of Undset by Aidan Nichols, O.P, published by Ignatius Press, sheds light on the remarkable breadth of Undset’s thought.ĬWR spoke with Vivian Dudro, Senior Editor at Ignatius Press, to discuss the new book and Undset’s significance as a Catholic convert, novelist, polemicist, and underappreciated intellectual of modern times.ĬWR: Why was this book written? Why should someone read this book, and why now? But she wrote much more than that epic work of historical fiction. Sigrid Undset (1882-1949) is most famous for her award-winning Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not that he is all that mature in his 40s. Because Rip clearly has a lot of growing up to do before he could be prepared to be in any kind of healthy relationship with another person. Do you think the age gap is a critical part of the story?

Even at the time, Lucasfilm made clear that these stories were not the "official" story of what happened to the characters. It and the comic series Dark Empire were the first Expanded Universe series to imagine what would happen to fans' favorite characters. Heir to the Empire was published in 1991, nearly ten years after Return of the Jedi. The story originally published with that title, a book by author Timothy Zahn, is perhaps the most beloved bit of the Legends Expanded Universe. Yet, if George Lucas's own Padawan learner Dave Filoni really is calling his film Heir to the Empire, it's the perfect choice for what would be an otherwise impossible movie. ![]() With three new Star Wars movies in the works, fans are excited for all of them. ![]() ![]() ![]() Let’s say you want to reward the most dedicated members by allowing them to moderate chat messages. ![]() The roles can be assigned to members based on the emojis they are using.
