Book Description
"Kathryn Lynn Davis is a master storyteller. Too Deep for Tears is beautifully written, emotionally charged, and unforgettable. Immersed in her richly crafted 19th century world, you won't want to leave-one of my all time favorite reads." --Lucinda Brant, New York Times bestselling author of Salt Bride. "Davis' story is as richly textured as a fine old tapestry. The time is the latter half of the 19th century; the emotions and conflicts are ageless...." The Chicago Tribune "The lyrical power of Kathryn Lynn Davis' writing, the courage and beauty of her characters and the soul-deep Celtic magic that imbues every page makes Too Deep For Tears a book you will never forget. Never have the Scottish highlands been captured more beautifully." --Ella March Chase, Author of The Queen's Dwarf "A compelling story...You won't want to miss this richly detailed saga." Midwest Review of Books Late 1800s: Three sisters. Three corners of the British Empire. Three lives intertwined... forever. As he travels the British Empire, diplomat Charles Kittridge leaves behind three daughters: Ailsa in the Scottish Highlands; Li-an in Peking, China; and Genevra in Delhi, India. Bound by threads they neither see nor understand, the three sisters are haunted by their absent father--each in her own way. Creative and intuitive, often lost and without hope, they come together through their dreams in times of fear and need. Those dreams grow vivid, changing as these extraordinary women learn the lessons the Empire has to teach. And the all-important lessons within their own hearts. No matter the courage and passion, betrayal and loss they experience, their dreams never leave them. In the end, they believe Charles Kittridge has the power to heal them. But the truth is far more complicated than any of them understand.

Tears We Cannot Stop
Author: Michael Eric Dyson
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250136008
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
“A hard-hitting sermon on the racial divide, directed specifically to a white congregation.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review A New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe Bestseller As the country grapples with racial division at a level not seen since the 1960s, Michael Eric Dyson’s voice is heard above the rest. In Tears We Cannot Stop, a provocative and deeply personal call or change, Dyson argues that if we are to make real racial progress, we must face difficult truths, including being honest about how Black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, and discounted. In the tradition of James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time—short, emotional, literary, powerful—this is the book that all Americans who care about the current and long-burning crisis in race relations need to read. Praise for Tears We Cannot Stop Named a Best/Most Anticipated Book of 2017 by: The Washington Post • Bustle • Men’s Journal • The Chicago Reader • StarTribune • Blavity• The Guardian • NBC New York’s Bill’s Books • Kirkus Reviews • Essence “Elegantly written and powerful in several areas: moving personal recollections; profound cultural analysis; and guidance for moral redemption. A work to relish.” —Toni Morrison “Here’s a sermon that’s as fierce as it is lucid . . . If you’re black, you’ll feel a spark of recognition in every paragraph. If you’re white, Dyson tells you what you need to know—what this white man needed to know, at least. This is a major achievement. I read it and said amen.” —Stephen King “One of the most frank and searing discussions on race . . . a deeply serious, urgent book, which should take its place in the tradition of Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time and King’s Why We Can’t Wait.” —The New York Times Book Review

Beyond English
Author: Bhavya Tiwari
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501334654
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Honorable Mention, Harry Levin Prize, 2022 (American Comparative Literature Association) Beyond English: World Literature and India radically alters the debates on world literature that hinge on the model of circulation and global capital by deeply engaging with the idea of the world and world-making in South Asia. Tiwari argues that Indic words for world (vishva, jagat, sansar) offer a nuanced understanding of world literature that is antithetical to a commodified and standardized monolingual globe. She develops a comparative study of the concept of “world literature” (vishva sahitya) in Rabindranath Tagore's works, the desire for a new world in the lyrics of the Hindi shadowism (chhayavaad) poets, and world-making in Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai's Chemmeen (1956) and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things (1997). By emphasizing the centrality of “literature” (sahitya) through a close reading of texts, Tiwari orients world literature toward comparative literature and comparative literature toward a worldliness that is receptive to the poetics of a world in its original language and in translation.
