Crow Lake
Author: Mary Lawson
Publisher: Delta
ISBN: 0440334365
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Crow Lake is that rare find, a first novel so quietly assured, so emotionally pitch perfect, you know from the opening page that this is the real thing—a literary experience in which to lose yourself, by an author of immense talent. Here is a gorgeous, slow-burning story set in the rural “badlands” of northern Ontario, where heartbreak and hardship are mirrored in the landscape. For the farming Pye family, life is a Greek tragedy where the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons, and terrible events occur–offstage. Centerstage are the Morrisons, whose tragedy looks more immediate if less brutal, but is, in reality, insidious and divisive. Orphaned young, Kate Morrison was her older brother Matt’s protegee, her fascination for pond life fed by his passionate interest in the natural world. Now a zoologist, she can identify organisms under a microscope but seems blind to the state of her own emotional life. And she thinks she’s outgrown her siblings–Luke, Matt, and Bo–who were once her entire world. In this universal drama of family love and misunderstandings, of resentments harbored and driven underground, Lawson ratchets up the tension with heartbreaking humor and consummate control, continually overturning one’s expectations right to the very end. Tragic, funny, unforgettable, Crow Lake is a quiet tour de force that will catapult Mary Lawson to the forefront of fiction writers today. Praise for Crow Lake “A finely crafted debut . . . conveys an astonishing intensity of emotion, almost Proustian in its sense of loss and regret.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “The assurance with which Mary Lawson handles both reflection and violence makes her a writer to read and watch. . . . [Crow Lake] has a resonance at once witty and poignant.”—The New York Times Book Review “Crow Lake is the kind of book that keeps you reading well past midnight; you grieve when it’s over. Then you start pressing it on friends.”—The Washington Post Book World “A touching meditation on the power of loyalty and loss, on the ways in which we pay our debts and settle old scores, and on what it means to love, to accept, to succeed—and to negotiate fate’s obstacle courses.”—People “Lawson’s tight focus on the emotional and moral effects of a drastic turn of events on a small human group has its closest contemporary analogue in the novels of Ian McEwan.”—The Toronto Star

Total Recall I
Author: Anagba Jibunor
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1503544087
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
Total Recall 1 is not a one-story, coherent book though. This is to say that it does not zero in on one story from beginning to the end. Rather, it is a collection of different stories put together into a small book. From . . . the story of a kingdom, a small town, that divides against itself when the British brings their system of government in which political parties are formed to contest against each other. Members of the different political parties begin to fight. Members of one party would attack members of another party, both physically and diabolically. Then the military intervenes by staging a coup. The nation plunges into war. The same actors in the political party wars begin to use the military to try to destroy their erstwhile political enemies by inventing false accusations against one another. To . . . the story of a woman who marries into a land thats far away from her own. In the new environment she is just like an orphan. No mother, no father, no near next of kin. Circumstances of life play it well to take advantage of her helplessness by accusing her of murder by witchcraft To . . . stories of African mysticism. The stories are as diverse as they are many. Total Recall 1 is a new kid in the block. The stories are so unique there is a good chance you have not read any story like some of them before. It is written to introduce the world to Africa, the real, everyday Africa. Not the Africa of fiction or the Africa of twisted tales that early European explorers fed their kinsfolk at home. Strangely enough, these tales have stuck and refused to die. It is my hope that through the knowledge gained from this book, the world will begin to understand why Africans do their things the way the world has become accustomed to. The stories in this book will introduce the world to the factors that shape the everyday thinking process of the average African. This, I hope, will introduce a little respect in the arena of international politics.
