Book Description
"Cinderella had one dance with Prince Charming, and he fell so much in love with her that he spared no expense to find and marry her." "Sleeping Beauty's prince fought his way into the castle to kiss the beautiful sleeping princess and make her his bride." "Wouldn't it be nice if a handsome, charming prince wandered into the life of every single one of us, fell head over heels in love, and insisted upon marriage? But princes don't appear to be wandering about aimlessly, and many of us single princesses are tiring of attending balls and twiddling our thumbs with no prince to show for it." Melissa Gayle offers encouragement and godly wisdom for would-be princesses who feel stuck in the tower and are sick of waiting for a fairy godmother's intervention. When she watched friends pairing off and fielded questions about why she hadn't found her own special someone, Melissa learned to find joy and contentment in the Lord. If you're still waiting for your fairytale ending, learn how to find your happily ever after "'Til the Slipper Fits."

Stolen Limelight
Author: Margaret E. Gray
Publisher: University of Wales Press
ISBN: 1786838613
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Who has not, in a favored moment, ‘stolen the limelight’, whether inadvertently or by design? The implications of such an act of display – its illicitness, its verve, its vertiginous reversal of power, its subversiveness – are explored in this book. Narrative crafting and management of such scenarios are studied across canonical novels by Gide, Colette, Mauriac, and Duras, as well as by African Francophone writer Oyono and detective novelist Japrisot. As manipulated within narrative, acts of display position a viewer or reader from whom response (from veneration or desire to repugnance or horror) is solicited; but this study demonstrates that display can also work subversively, destabilising and displacing such a privileged spectator. As strategies of displacement, these scenarios ultimately neutralise and even occult the very subject they so energetically appear to solicit. Powered by gendered tensions, this dynamic of display as displacement works toward purposes of struggle, resistance or repression.
