Book Description
Celia Reynolds is the youngest in a set of triplets and the one with the least valuable power. Anne can see the future, and Jane can see the present, but all Celia can see is the past. And the past seems so insignificant -- until Celia meets Lo. Lo doesn't know who she is. Or who she was. Once a human, she is now almost entirely a creature of the sea -- a nymph, an ocean girl, a mermaid -- all terms too pretty for the soulless monster she knows she's becoming. Lo clings to shreds of her former self, fighting to remember her past, even as she's tempted to embrace her dark immortality. When a handsome boy named Jude falls off a pier and into the ocean, Celia and Lo work together to rescue him from the waves. The two form a friendship, but soon they find themselves competing for Jude's affection. Lo wants more than that, though. According to the ocean girls, there's only one way for Lo to earn back her humanity. She must persuade a mortal to love her . . . and steal his soul.

Sisters Katrina and Rita
Author: Mark Brodeur
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1602478511
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
The voices in this book are those of the survivors, the relief workers, and the other witnesses to the power of Katrina and Rita. Even the storms are given a voice. These poems challenge us to consider the power of the natural world, how the sudden destruction of the external landscape effects a sense of self, and how one might find belonging in such an uncertain world. These eloquent voices need to be heard. -Margaret J. Hoehn In Sisters Katrina and Rita, Brodeur contextualizes these hurricanes in the epic tradition of myth and history and destruction. The voices of the hurricanes are primal and elemental, as if Katrina is a child who does not think to feel accountable for the damage she does, and Rita her jealous second sister. These poems have the wisdom of someone who saw the before, during, and after of these storms, and they study the cycle of nature, both human nature and elemental nature, as it lives and dies, rages and surrenders. -Elisabeth Sharp McKetta A society is gauged not by how it treats its healthy and fortunate, but how it handles its sick and unfortunate citizens. This is the focus of Brodeur's poems. They explore the realm of human suffering and tragedy after physical and moral failure. Sisters Katrina and Rita audibly takes us into the world of our ethical relationships with one another, and what we hear there is our own cultural history skillfully revealed in graphic and truthful detail. In historical terms, this is an authentic and important book. -Bryan Mark Rigg

The Monster's Daughter
Author: Michelle Pretorius
Publisher: Melville House
ISBN: 1612195393
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
Somewhere on the South African veld, 1901: At the height of the Boer War, a doctor at a British concentration camp conducts a series of grim experiments on Boer prisoners. His work ends in chaos, but two children survive: a boy named Benjamin, and a girl named Tessa … One hundred years later, a disgraced young police constable is reassigned to the sleepy South African town of Unie, where she makes a terrifying discovery: the body of a woman, burned beyond recognition. The crime soon leads her into her country's violent past—a past that includes her father, a high-ranking police official under the apartheid regime, and the children left behind in that long ago concentration camp. Michelle Pretorius’s epic debut weaves present and past together into a hugely suspenseful, masterfully plotted thriller that calls to mind Lauren Beukes’s The Shining Girls and Tana French’s The Secret Place. With an explosive conclusion, it marks the emergence of a thrilling new writer.
