SAME DAY SHIP W/TRACKING #. Though Iris Stern considers herself a modern woman, with a successful academic career and a happy marriage, she still holds steadfast to her old-fashioned sensibilities. But as the mother of three adult children, each with their own lives and burdens to bear, she often finds those sensibilities called into question when confronted with the choices her children have made. For one of Iris's daughters, it's the choice of a fresh start in New York City-and a last chance to save her troubled marriage. While Laura and Robbie cope with an impending separation and its effect on Iris's young granddaughter, Iris herself must come to grips with the discovery of a long-held family secret. But it's an emotional parting of another kind that looms most prominently on Iris's horizon-as neither her beloved husband, nor the solidity of her own marriage, is immune to the ravages of time. Through separations and reunions, the changes we cannot avoid and the love that sustains, Iris will weather whatever lies ahead with a faith that cannot be shaken. Like the inmost rings of a tree that abide through the generations, she will be as strong as heartwood. Goodreads.…

Set in 16 pt. News Plantin. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean and bright. In public, Oliver Grey is a devoted father, prominent public figure, humanitarian, and respected businessman. But in private, there's a much darker side to Oliver Grey; a side so dark that someone is driven to kill him.Though the Greys appear to be an enviable upper class family, they are not without problems. Ian, the older son, is a womanizer and compulsive gambler; Clive, the younger son, is an odd man barely five feet tall with no life outside his work as an accountant; and Amanda, Oliver's niece, whom he raised after her parents died in a plane crash, has been twice divorced and has had a difficult life. Dan, Amanda's brother, is the only Grey who appears to have no problems -- except with his six-year-old daughter Caroline, whose behavior reminds him more and more of his troubled sister Amanda. The trouble had started with Oliver Grey's decision to divide his nationally known business, Grey's Food, among Ian, Clive, and Dan. Amanda, bitter about being left out of the business, arrives from California to straighten out her financial holdings in the company. On a visit to Ellen, Dan's wife, Amanda sees a silver carousel much like the one Oliver gave her when she was a child. Ellen says the carousel was a gift to Caroline from Oliver. Amanda breaks down and tells Ellen that Oliver had given her the carousel to keep her from telling the truth about the unspeakable things he had done to her. Ellen, horrified by this revelation, finally understands why her daughter has been acting so strangely and why a therapist had raised the possibility that Caroline may have been sexually abused. Ellen goes to Oliver Grey's home that evening to confront him. And when she leaves he is dead. Goodreads 3.62.…

KOVÁLY, HEDA MARGOLIUS. Innocence : or, Murder on Steep Street. Translated from the Czech by Alex Zucker. New York: Soho Crime, 2015, 1st printing number line ending in 1, xvii, 234pp., . "This rediscovered gem of Czech literature, a crime novel by renowned Holocaust memoirist Heda Margolius Kovaly, depicts a chilling moment in history, redolent with the stifling atmosphere of political and personal oppression of the early days of Socialist Czechoslovakia. In 1985, Czech Holocaust memoirist, literary translator, and political exile Heda Margolius Kovaly turned her pen to fiction. Inspired by the stories of Raymond Chandler, Kovaly knit her own terrifying experiences in early 1950s Socialist Prague -- her husband's imprisonment and wrongful execution, her own persecution at his disgrace -- into a gorgeous psychological thriller-cum-detective novel. Set in and around a cinema where a murder was recently committed, Innocence follows the unfolding of the investigation while telling the stories of the women who work there as ushers, each of whom is forced to support herself in difficult circumstances. As the novel brings this group alive, it tells their various life stories that have brought them to this job, the secrets they share with one another, and the secrets they keep. When the detective trying to solve the first murder is found slain by the cinema, all of their secrets come into the light. A smart, evocative, and deeply stirring literary crime novel with international appeal"-- Provided by publisher., "In 1985, Czech Holocaust memoirist, literary translator, and political exile Heda Margolius Kovaly turned her pen to fiction.

Then it came again, a sunbright sparkle as of light reflecting from some bright surface. It came from the far distance between Tycho and the station and, he knew, it could only have been caused by some moving object. Echlan had seen it too.

WAGNER, WOLFGANG. Acts: the autobiography of Wolfgang Wagner. Translated from the German by John Brownjohn. London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1994, xii, 324pp., . "When Wolfgang Wagner was growing up, the Bayreuth Festival was at its pre-war apogee. Under the aegis of Wolfgang's English mother, Winifred, the festival devoted to the works of Richard Wagner had become the jewel in the crown of Nazi cultural life. Behind the scenes, there was artistic tension and personal conflict as the name of Wagner became coopted to a cause which he had never espoused. Wolfgang Wagner recounts his own extraordinary encounters with prominent Nazi figures, including Hitler, and traces the tangle of music and politics which, with the defeat of the Third Reich, left the Festival discredited and almost destroyed." - CONTENTS: A Personal Statement -- 1966: A Different Situation -- On Time and Space -- Growing Up -- A Fiction -- Soldiering and Studying -- Picking Up the Pieces -- A New Start --Two Rings -- Spreading Word and Sound -- Along the Line of Continuity: 1 -- Along the Line of Continuity: 2 -- Wagner & Wagner -- Foundation Stones -- Miscellany -- Viewing the Future. 9780297813491 ISBN 0297813498.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Published in 1985, "Forms of Attention" by Sir Frank Kermode consists of the series of famous Welleck Library Lectures presented by Professor Kermode. The book received attention in the form of high praise from colleagues and critics alike. This is the First Edition, published by the University of Chicago Press. Here is an excerpt from the jacket's write-up : "When a work of art is received into some approved canon, we consider it more attentively and may be impelled to say more profound things about it; at any rate we try to keep on saying different things. the processes, therefore, by which works are canonized themselves deserve greater attention than they have received. How are works of art deemed worthy of our attention? How do they remain part of an accepted or revered canon? What does the canon formation reveal about the standards and practices of the academy? " 'Forms of Attention' is an important addition to a line of distinguished books by Frank Kermode, and it bears its predecessor's admirable qualities : extraordinary compression without loss of lucidity, accessibility to non-experts, and theoretical currency — a state - of - the - art timelessness that has long been the trademark of Kermode's writing."
