Book Description
“Just brilliant. I loved this book... Addictive, fast paced, packed with twists, this one had me absolutely transfixed. I did not want it to end.” NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Let’s play truth or dare, for old times’ sake…” I reluctantly agree, silently praying none of my three oldest friends gets the chance to ask me a truth. There is so much I’ve been keeping from them. Just for this weekend, for our long-awaited college reunion, I want to put all that aside and have some fun. But it wasn’t my secrets I should have been worried about. It was theirs. When Ada draws truth, she can’t meet my eye. “Ivy…” she begins and then stops. Before saying something that I immediately wish she could take back. But of course she can’t, not now. The worst thing is no one else seems as shocked. I realise they have let me think I was to blame all these years. Perhaps I never knew my closest friends to begin with. Maybe we were never actually friends all… A gripping, emotional drama about the complexities of friendship and what truly lies beneath the image of a perfect life. Fans of Liane Moriarty, Kerry Fisher and Sally Hepworth will be hooked from the very first page. What readers are saying about Emily Cavanagh: “FANTASTIC… PERFECT weekend read… LOVED… I am sooooo sad it's over.” Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “WOW!… Loved… Will be telling everyone about it!” NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Absolutely loved this book… 5 stars from me!!” Bookstagramshaz, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I absolutely loved this book… I could not tear myself away… If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.” Once Upon A Time Book Blog, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Gripping page turner with a twist. This instantly pulled me in… I just had to finish and find out what happened.” Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Hooked me on the first page… This book grabbed me… I read it in two sittings.” The World Is Ours to Read, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A page-turner… Nothing was as it seemed, and everyone had something to hide… I was hooked from the first page.” Lu Reviews Books “Secrets and families, love, loss and betrayal… Loved, loved, loved this book.” Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pages : 440
Book Description
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, FROM THE AUTHOR OF BIG LITTLE LIES, now an HBO series. Winner of Goodreads Choice Award for Best Fiction “Here’s the best news you’ve heard all year: Not a single page disappoints....The only difficulty with Truly Madly Guilty? Putting it down.” —Miami Herald “Captivating, suspenseful...tantalizing.” —People Magazine Six responsible adults. Three cute kids. One small dog. It’s just a normal weekend. What could possibly go wrong? In Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty turns her unique, razor-sharp eye towards three seemingly happy families. Sam and Clementine have a wonderful, albeit busy, life: they have two little girls, Sam has just started a new dream job, and Clementine, a cellist, is busy preparing for the audition of a lifetime. If there’s anything they can count on, it’s each other. Clementine and Erika are each other’s oldest friends. A single look between them can convey an entire conversation. But theirs is a complicated relationship, so when Erika mentions a last-minute invitation to a barbecue with her neighbors, Tiffany and Vid, Clementine and Sam don’t hesitate. Having Tiffany and Vid’s larger-than-life personalities there will be a welcome respite. Two months later, it won’t stop raining, and Clementine and Sam can’t stop asking themselves the question: What if we hadn’t gone? In Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty takes on the foundations of our lives: marriage, sex, parenthood, and friendship. She shows how guilt can expose the fault lines in the most seemingly strong relationships, how what we don’t say can be more powerful than what we do, and how sometimes it is the most innocent of moments that can do the greatest harm.

Contemporary Film Theory
Author: Antony Easthope
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317895665
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
During the twentieth century, the medium of film has developed as a means of understanding the complexity of modern life. Since 1968, film theory has concentrated not so much on theme or content but on the deeper question of how the medium works on its viewer. Film theory has been profoundly influenced by the writings of such modern thinkers as Saussure, Freud, Lacan, Anthusser, Derrida and Kristeva. It combines modes of textual analysis relating to linguistics and semiology, a Marxist reading of ideology, and theories of subjectivity, the spectator and gender redefined by psychoanalysis. This judicious selection from key work by Stephen Heath, Fredric Jameson, Laura Mulvey, Mary Ann Doanne and others, represents some of the most important contemporary writing about film. It provides a consistent and developing analysis that will be of interest to students concerned with film and film studies, as well as students of cultural, media and communication studies.
