Book Description
I want the world to know about my true childhood friend Anthony, and what I learned sharing his story. The sharing of the love, friendship, kindness, forgiveness and a shared connection - precious times that were like sparkling jewels are transformed into this book called "Anthony". My childhood friend - my Angel, if only we knew just how short his life would be, I wouldn't have let all those years pass by without having some more fun; playing together and sharing more, and without learning more from my friend. I would have told him, he was such a good friend to me and I would have told him "I love you."

Our Frail Blood
Author: Peter Nathaniel Malae
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 0802193714
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
The award-winning author “tackles the tribulations of an American family in crisis . . . Like Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections . . . a must-read” (Booklist). By way of Italy, the Felice family puts down new roots in Southern California, settling into a grand Victorian home and buying a share of the great American Dream. But for their five, first-generation children, an idyllic childhood didn’t quite translate into success and happiness. Rather, the pressures of living up to expectations drove a wide rift through the family. After decades apart, the five siblings find themselves together again at their ailing mother’s bedside, caught in a deadlocked feud over her hospice care. Into the morass steps Murron Teinetoa, one of their bastard children, who carries an idealistic hope of finally fitting in among her estranged relatives. In an interweaving narrative, Malae portrays the Felices in their formative years of the fifties; he excavates the personal lives of the siblings in the eighties and nineties; and he follows Murron in the present as she raises her son as a single mother. A powerful and fiery multi-generational story, Our Frail Blood captures the beauty and horror, the strength and fragility, the selfishness and love comprising the threads of familial bonds. “This magnificent novel depicts dysfunction and dissolution across three generations . . . Malae taps an underground reservoir of grief and rage beneath our multicultural democracy that finally explodes in a terrible geyser.” —Anthony DiRenzo, author of Trinacria: A Tale of Bourbon Sicily “The novel’s heart is true . . . Malae is at his best: depicting the throbbing pain and joy of an American family.” —Publishers Weekly

Marcella
Author: Mary Augusta Ward
Publisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 9781551111704
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 620
Book Description
Marcella, young and with a new-womanly independence, has a yearning to help the poor. When a gamekeeper is murdered near where she lives, Marcella finds herself at odds with her wealthy fiancé over beliefs about property and justice. The discovery leads Marcella to pursue—among other things—a career in nursing. In settings ranging from village cottages, London slums and hospital wards to fashionable drawing rooms and the Ladies’ Gallery of the Houses of Parliament, the book combines a gripping story with serious issues—socialism, rural and urban poverty, poaching laws, journalistic ethics, the Woman Question—inspiring critics to liken Marcella to George Eliot’s novels. The Broadview Literary Texts edition records the substantive differences between the two major editions published during Ward’s lifetime, and included among the many appendices are news accounts of the murder trial and executions that inspired the novel, and previously unpublished letters by Ward. NB: Mary Augusta Ward has traditionally been known as Mrs. Humphry Ward.
