Ronesa Aveela is “the creative power of two.” Two authors that is. Each of the patients Harper writes about taught her something important about recuperation and recovery. The Beauty in Breaking is the poignant true story of Harper’s journey toward self-healing. How we recognize those breaks, how we try to mend them, and where we go from there are all crucial parts of the healing process. In the ensuing years, as Harper learned to become an effective ER physician, bringing insight and empathy to every patient encounter, she came to understand that each of us is broken-physically, emotionally, psychically.

Blythe, the narrator, is far from reliable, which was further reinforced by the book’s second-person narrative, as we clearly are only shown her point of view. This psychological family drama/domestic suspense forced me to question every preconceived notion about motherhood. But when unspeakable tragedy occurs, she is forced to face her worst fears about motherhood, Violet, and herself. Several years later when her second child Sam is born, Blythe has that special connection she always dreamed about. No one, including her husband, seems to believe her worries about Violet. Quick synopsis: New mother Blythe wants to be the mother she never had - but when her first child Violet is born, Blythe is convinced that something isn’t right about her and fails to connect with her as most mothers do. It’s hard to believe that this is Audrain’s debut novel because she writes with such force and emotion that I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable while reading, which I think was exactly the point. I was left with this total WTF moment - and trust me, it takes a LOT to do that nowadays - but in the best way. First off, I have to preface that while this book was unsettling throughout, the end was absolutely explosive. She took a break from writing, returning to it in 2010 her subsequent novels were published under her married name.

One of the apparent victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce&’s and an author of thrillers.

Florida’s governor orders a mandatory evacuation, and most residents board up their houses and flee to the mainland, but Bruce decides to stay and ride out the storm. Just as Bruce Cable’s Bay Books is preparing for the return of bestselling author Mercer Mann, Hurricane Leo veers from its predicted course and heads straight for the island. Welcome back to Camino Island, where anything can happen-even a murder in the midst of a hurricane, which might prove to be the perfect crime. With Camino Winds, America’s favorite storyteller offers the perfect escape. John Grisham, #1 bestselling author and master of the legal thriller, sweeps you away to paradise for a little sun, sand, mystery, and mayhem. A near death experience leaves Aaron able to see Rupert, and with his help, Rupert can solve the mystery of his previous life, ultimately remembering who he loved, why he died, and most importantly, Aaron helps remind him of their Neverland. It seems Aaron might have seen Rupert, or at least dreamt about him, because Aaron has drawn him ever since he was a little boy. All that changes when a new family moves in-the first family in one hundred years, including Aaron: a boy his own age (or at least the age he was at the time of his death). Aided by Bloody Mary, the Weeping Bride, the Headless Horseboy, and his Therapist of the Deceased, Rupert tries to piece together the puzzle of the life he left behind. All he knows is that he is trapped and won’t be able to move on until he resolves his unfinished business, but he hasn’t the slightest idea what that is.

The beguiling simplicity of the narrative and prose yields to the profound realisation that for the people of Augustown, the only way to 'fly away to Zion' is through death and some indeed are prepared, are 'ready fi dead. But his is a slippery tale, an old-time story. Miller shows how the dominance of its brutal history lies just beneath the surface of everyday life it runs through the island and Augustown like water. It is this tension that drives the story towards an unbearably dramatic denouement. although the narrator challenges any conclusion the reader may draw that the book is a version of magical realism, Augustown gives more than a nod to Gabriel García Márquez as a chronicle of a death foretold. An admired poet, Miller, like his compatriot the Man Booker prize-winning Marlon James, has mined a rich seam of Jamaican history. This brilliant and moving novel begins in the titular Jamaican town on April 11, 1982, and opens with a reminder that every day contains all of. The story of Bedward at the centre of Augustown, a partially fictionalised version of August Town, is given a much more richly nuanced and empathetic telling in Kei Miller’s vivid modern fable. |
