Pages : 280
Book Description
"Eerie and addictive. . . . Like Wuthering Heights, The Whispering House is a melancholy novel, its characters filled with dark longings." — The New York Times Book Review From the acclaimed author of The Orphan of Salt Winds It was like holding a couple of jigsaw pieces in my palm, knowing there was a whole picture to be made, if I could only find the rest. Freya Lyell is struggling to move on from her sister Stella’s death five years ago. Visiting the bewitching Byrne Hall, only a few miles from the scene of the tragedy, she discovers a portrait of Stella—a portrait she had no idea existed, in a house Stella never set foot in. Or so she thought. Driven to find out more about her sister’s secrets, Freya is drawn into the world of Byrne Hall and its owners: charismatic artist Cory and his sinister, watchful mother. But as Freya lingers in this mysterious, centuries-old house, her relationship with Cory crosses the line into obsession and the darkness behind the locked doors of the estate threatens to spill out. In prose as lush and atmospheric as Byrne Hall itself, Elizabeth Brooks weaves a simmering, propulsive tale of art, sisterhood, and all-consuming love: the ways it can lead us toward tenderness, nostalgia, and longing, as well as shocking acts of violence.

Psssst.... Yeah you! Can I ask you a couple of questions? If I told you that some of my buddies were in serious trouble, would you help me? If I said that someone very dangerous wants to destroy me, would you try to stop them? How about if I asked you to risk your own skin to find some missing kids, would you do that for me.... well would you? When Fraser Bloom woke up one morning, I asked him to do all of those things and then some, and boy did he get more than he bargained for. Let me tell you a story about a kid, a city, and then a hidden magical world of buildings that exists beyond the reach of you humans that use them. Of course Bloom was not exactly chosen for his good looks, or indeed his fascination of the concrete giants that surround him, no, Fraser Bloom has a shocking connection to my world that no kid would ever choose, a frightening past that would eventually haunt his world, not to mention mine. So why don't you sit down and enjoy the ride as Fraser explores my incredible city, the ghostly trains of Grand Centrals forgotten platforms, the secret plans in the highest floors of Queen Emp, the endless knowledge of Madam Bibliotheque and then the many other mind-blowing powers revealed only to Bloom by my pals that make up this remarkable city. With a little help from his best friend Rich and sister Eden, join Fraser as he struggles to solve the mystery of his missing friends whilst doing battle with a powerful enemy that's trying to destroy us all... oh yeah and just in case you are wondering who I am, well I'm Fraser's newest pal, my name is Walter, although you probably know me better as The Chrysler Building of Manhattan, New York, a city of the tallest dreams and a place where just about anything is possible!

Whispering Hearts
Author: V.C. Andrews
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501162616
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
A desperate young woman’s bargain with a wealthy couple is not what it seems in this gothic tale of big city dreams gone wrong from the #1 New York Times bestselling author and literary phenomenon V.C. Andrews—whose books are now major Lifetime TV movies. The English countryside is beautiful, but for Emma Corey it cannot compare with the bright lights of New York City. Tired of performing only in pubs and at church, she announces she’s moving to America—and her conservative father disowns her on the spot. Distraught but undeterred, Emma will become a Broadway star—or die trying. The largeness of the new city, her new friends, the boundless opportunities make everything shine with promise. However, New York has a way of chipping away at a newcomer’s resolve. First a robbery. Then a low-wage job. Then the realization that such a city attracts the young and the talented—competitors all. Just when it seems like Emma might have to admit defeat and return to the UK, she is introduced to a peculiar couple: a wife that cannot bear children of her own, and a husband who would pay Emma to solve that problem. Emma’s father once told her, “Money is life.” But when Emma trades one for the other and moves into the couple’s remote estate to participate in an elaborate ruse, there’s no telling what kind of life she’ll have once she’s taken the money.

Now Hear This
Author: John Naylor
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030898776
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
This book explains the nature of sound both as a physical phenomenon and as a sensation, how it travels through air and water, and how the hearing system evolved to convert these vibrations into sensations. Drawing on physics, biology, neuroscience, philosophy, literature, history, anecdote, and personal experience, "Now Hear This" is a wide-ranging exploration of the nature of sound and hearing that opens up a fascinating world of sounds from the mundane to the unusual and seeks above all to persuade the reader of the wisdom of John Cage’s advice that “Wherever we are what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating.”

Curiosities of Paris: An idiosyncratic guide to overlooked delights... hidden in plain sight
Author: Dominique Lesbros
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1681371103
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Francophiles and Paris buffs will find something new and fascinating in this timeless guidebook, filed with sites, passageways, hotels, shops, and more What if—walking around Paris—instead of seeing only the Paris of 2017, you glimpsed Paris in Revolutionary times? Or Paris when it was home to 80,000 horses; or Paris lit by gaslight; or medieval Paris? What if—walking down a block in Paris—you recognized the signs, mosaics, pieces of hardware, and architectural details as relics of many centuries that have stories to tell of past eras? This is what Curiosities of Paris reveals. Each of the book’s 800 photos of unique locations and architectural oddities—as well as utilitarian objects whose functions have long been obscured with the passage of time—discloses a previously unnoticed city. Even those who know Paris well might never have registered the thousands of details on every street that testify to the enduring presence of the past: the solar cannon at Invalides, street signs with the word “saint” and all fleur-de-lys removed; the unique features of Parisian street lighting. You’ll never look at an elm tree the same way again. And, with Curiosities of Paris as your guide, you’ll feel very in-the-know as you walk down the Champs-Élysées past all the auto dealerships. Organized by subject—including fountains and wells; centuries-old shop signs; vestiges of wars and ancient Egypt; hotels of legend; remarkable trees; sundials and meridians; equestrian Paris; romantic ruins; unusual tombs, stairways, and passageways; religious relics; mosaics; public barometers and thermometers; and hundreds more urban elements and anachronisms—the book also includes three themed walks (along the city’s ancient walls, in the steps of Quasimodo, and through the French Revolution), as well as an index of street names. This absorbing compendium is an essential addition to the library of the armchair traveler and flâneur alike.
