Despite the political and social upheavals that occurred during his life, much of which was spent in France and the United States, Wodehouse's main canvas remained that of prewar English upper-class society, reflecting his birth, education, and youthful writing career.Īn acknowledged master of English prose, Wodehouse has been admired both by contemporaries such as Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Rudyard Kipling and by more recent writers such as Douglas Adams, Salman Rushdie and Terry Pratchett. Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE, was a comic writer who enjoyed enormous popular success during a career of more than seventy years and continues to be widely read over 40 years after his death. Blending pop culture, primary historical research, and first-hand storytelling, she shows us how we have shut women out of the movement, and what we can do to correct our course for a new generation.Ĭombining a scholar’s understanding with hard data and razor-sharp cultural commentary, White Feminism “is a rousing blueprint for a more inclusive ‘new era of feminism’” ( The Boston Globe). With “intellectually smart and emotionally intelligent” (Patrisse Cullors, New York Times bestselling author and Black Lives Matter cofounder) writing, Beck meticulously documents how elitism and racial prejudice have driven the narrative of feminist discourse. She also examines overlooked communities-including Native American, Muslim, transgender, and more-and their ongoing struggles for social change. Koa Beck, writer and former editor-in-chief of Jezebel, boldly examines the history of feminism, from the true mission of the suffragettes to the rise of corporate feminism with clear-eyed. Written “ with passion and insight about the knotted history of racism within women’s movements and feminist culture ” (Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author), this whip-smart, timely, and impassioned call for change is perfect for fans of Good and Mad and Hood Feminism.Īddressing today’s conversation about race, empowerment, and inclusion in America, Koa Beck, writer and former editor-in-chief of Jezebel, boldly examines the history of feminism, from the true mission of the suffragists to the rise of corporate feminism with clear-eyed scrutiny and meticulous detail. It’d been in both our names because in the beginning, when Jared finished his day job, he’d been the host with the most, greeting customers, seating them, and taking reservations. I’d put the restaurant I’d built in his name. I was leaving him the house because I didn’t want a long, drawn out legal battle, which would end up costing us a fortune, and where we’d emerge bruised and battered, not even sure who’d won. The spite in Jared’s voice reminded me of tiny arrows, not tinged with love, but with venom, zipping through the air and piercing my skin. And it was a good one until my mate got bored and decided to look outside our relationship for affection. Putting our careers first before we started a family was the plan. “Having separate bathrooms, if you can afford it, is the secret to a long and happy relationship.” We’d mated in our early twenties and now were both in our late thirties. “Of course, I do.” He’d told me I’d thank him one day. My reaction when Jared sneakily added in his and his bathrooms had been, “You don’t want to share a shower with me?” “Don’t be ridiculous,” he retorted. And don’t get me started on viewing them on a tablet or worse, a phone. Although there has been growing interest in Melusine as a research topic, especially as this tale has evolved and been reinterpreted within popular Anglophone culture, Melusine's Footprint stands out by providing a diverse representation of the legend within a wider global and historical framework. Melusine's Footprint is the first compilation of scholarly analyses in English on the medieval French legend of Melusine since 1996's Melusine of Lusignan, edited by Maddox and Sturm-Maddox. The articles included prove to be essential reading not only for medievalists, but also for scholars focused on fairy tale and folklore studies, cultural studies, feminist theory, gender theory, and postmodernist theory. The title suggests Melusine's continued cultural presence as understood through Jacques Derrida's concept of trace, while also speaking to Melusine's literal regenerative quality as embodied in her tail, emphasizing her serpentine, chthonic roots. Elms present a collection of scholarly essays that looks at the literary trajectory of the Melusine tale from the Medieval Period through contemporary depictions. In Melusine's Footprint: Tracing the Legacy of a Medieval Myth, editors Misty Urban, Deva F. Melusine's Footprint: Tracing the Legacy of a Medieval Myth, 2017. If she does, her grief for Pop, their dad's late husband, will overwhelm her. Suddenly, she's questioning everything she thought she wanted.Īvani can't sit still. and along with it, an intriguing construction worker and a yearning for her motherland. Nidhi has everything planned out-until a storm brings a wayward tree crashing into her life one autumn. But things are about to heat up now that the Songbird has been named the Most Romantic Inn in America. Nestled on dreamy and drizzly Orcas Island in the Pacific Northwest, the inn's always been warm and cozy and filled with interesting guests-the perfect home. The Singh sisters grew up helping their father navigate the bustle of the Songbird Inn. A Children's Book Council Young Adult Favorite of 2023!įour seasons, four sisters, and four swoon-worthy love stories come together in this multi-POV YA rom-com set on an island off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Here is a God who is love, who is so full of life and blessing that for eternity He has been overflowing with it. That is the triune, living God: a Father, whose very being has eternally been about loving His Son, pouring out the Spirit of love and life on Him. In John 17:24, Jesus speaks of how the Father loved Him even before the creation of the world. How wonderfully different it is with the triune God. They may demand our worship, but they cannot win our hearts. And so, not being essentially loving, such gods are inevitably less than lovely. Love for others, then, cannot go very deep in them if they can go for eternity without it. Before creation, having no other persons with whom they could commune, they must have been entirely alone. Single-person gods must, by definition, have spent eternity in absolute solitude. Whether it be God, money, sex, or fame, we live for and love what captures our hearts.īut what kind of God could outstrip the attractions of all other things? Could any unitary, single-person god do so? Hardly, or at least not for long. And of course, he was quite right, for we always love what seems most attractive to us. ‘It is not to be expected that we should love God supremely if we have not known him to be more desirable than all other things.’ So wrote the great hymn writer Isaac Watts. Every person, every moment, and every day are a gift. Not only is Kate’s story inspiring to live life to the fullest, but it also encourages being grateful for what you are given. I laughed, cried, and absolutely came unglued for days, but I still really loved this story nonetheless!Īll I can say is that this incredible story touched my heart and soul in so many ways. It was incredibly uplifting and such a highly emotional read for me. However, my curiosity finally won out, and I decided to jump on in. So, I have been a little on the fence about it – mostly because I don’t want to be a big ol’ cry baby. I was also informed that it would most certainly make me cry, and although I enjoy reading all types of romances, I usually stay away from ‘sad’ ones. I was told that I absolutely ‘had’ to read it, that it was ‘life changing,’ and all of the reviews were simply fantastic. This is my first book to read by Kim Holden, and I only heard of ‘Bright Side’ a few months ago although it was written in 2014. So when Kate leaves San Diego to attend college in the small town of Grant, Minnesota, the last thing she expects is to fall in love with Keller Banks. Kate is strong-willed, funny, smart, and musically gifted. She’s endured hardship and tragedy, but throughout it all she remains happy and optimistic (there’s a reason her best friend Gus calls her Bright Side). Kate Sedgwick’s life has been anything but typical. Drawing on the recent release of previously classified files, A Spy Named Orphan meticulously documents the extraordinary story of a man leading a chilling double life until his exposure and defection to the USSR. The full extent of his betrayal has never been documented-until now. Yet little is known of this shrewd, secretive man.
