Vincent was born and raised on the tiny island of Caiette in British Columbia. This narrative of how Millay remade herself serves as a talisman for Vincent throughout her life. Vincent’s mother tells her daughter that Millay transformed herself “by sheer force of will” from an impoverished girl brought-up in New England’s backwaters to an acclaimed poet at the center of New York City’s art scene. Vincent, the female protagonist of The Glass Hotel, is named after the poet Edna St. This process of becoming someone else, the provocation to transform, and the price it exacts are matters that Mandel captivatingly explores in each of her novels including her latest, The Glass Hotel. Her characters are shapeshifters who create new identities, sever ties to home, and slide into worlds very different from those into which they were born. John Mandel is a portraitist of reinvented lives.

Their story will shape the destiny of Britain. Riva, Keyne and Sinne-three siblings entangled in a web of betrayal, who must fight to forge their own paths. And Tristan, a warrior who is not what he seems. It brings with it Myrdhin, meddler and magician. However, change comes on the day ash falls from the sky. All three fear a life of confinement within the walls of the hold, their people's last bastion of strength against the invading Saxons. And Sinne dreams of seeing the world, of finding adventure. Keyne battles to be accepted for who he truly is-the king's son. Riva can cure others, but can't seem to heal her own deep scars. King Cador knew this once, but now the land has turned from him, calling instead to his three children. "ABSOLUTELY STUNNING." -Hannah Whitten, author of For the Wolf In the kingdom of Dumnonia, there is old magic to be found in the whisper of the wind, the roots of the trees, and the curl of the grass. In an ancient land steeped in wild magic, three royal siblings fight to keep their kingdom safe from the warriors who threaten its borders-and their bond-in this lyrical debut of spells and song, sisterhood and betrayal.

They share a group of close friends that, for the last decade, have scheduled an annual getaway to a small cottage in Maine as a respite from their daily lives. “Happy Place” follows ex-fiancés Harriet, a conflict-avoidant surgical resident, and Wyn, a quick-witted charmer who dances through life. Though it falls short of the brilliance of her previous works, “Happy Place” is still sexy, charming, and meaningful - a book well worth reading for Henry’s fans. Her novel “Happy Place” is the fourth installment in what is jokingly called the EHCU (Emily Henry Cinematic Universe), a series of standalone novels that exist in the same world - as she revealed in a crossover short story “Layover.” With three previous books celebrated for their compelling cast of characters, fascinating backstories, and satisfying romances, “Happy Place” has a lot to live up to. Montresor tells an intoxicated Fortunato to access a small recess through a wall made of bones to get the Amontillado before trapping him. The two continue exploring the vaults that contain body remains of Montresor’s family members.įortunato tries to see if Montresor is a true mason by making a hand movement, but the latter does not recognize and he justifies himself by showing him a trowel implying a stonemason (Poe 1202). The nitre causes Fortunato to cough, and thus takes the wine to counter the effects even after being told by Montresor to go home. The two proceed towards Montresor’s burial vaults, which are exposed and filled with nitre. Montresor brings the idea of using Luchesi to taste Amontillado, but Fortunato suggests that he is not good enough for the task and regards him as a competitor as well. Montresor seeks to use Fortunato’s liking for wine in a bid to carry out his revenge in a way that curtails the risks of being identified. The story’s narrator, Montresor, opens up his revengeful motive towards Fortunato, his acquaintance, by claiming that he insulted him irreparably (Poe 1200). This paper will analyze the stylistic devices that Poe applies in the short story, “The Cask of Amontillado”. The narrative meets the qualities of a classic short story as theorized by Poe since it can be read in a single sitting. Poe’s work on this piece of literature has been considered as one of the world’s perfect short stories. “The Cask of Amontillado” is a story involving horror due to Montresor’s vengeful motive upon Fortunato. She was also a bit of a badass which I really enjoyed too. Alessandra was a super interesting character and I loved seeing her grow throughout the book. I am happy with how it ended but I love this world and characters so of course I want more.Īs I have already mentioned I really enjoyed the characters. I also kinda wish there was a second book because I wanna know what goes down after the events of The Shadows Between Us. I love that this is a standalone as standalone fantasy is rare to find, especially good ones that don’t feel like they are missing something. I was already so invested in Alessandra’s story & this world. This book hooked me from the very beginning! After the first chapter I knew I was going to enjoy this book. So by the time I realised this was going to be a romance I was already fully hooked on this story! In the end the romance actually didn’t worry me at all. As yall may know I am not a fan of romance in books and I went into this book literally knowing NOTHING about it. The Shadows Between Us book cover – Silver sword in the centre with red stones in the handle surrounded by a black design & a red background.įirstly I want to address the romance in this book. The first half of this thesis opens up a queer and transnational terrain of literary self-construction through the symbol of “Greece,” which it reads through Eve Sedgwick’s identification of the shared etymology of “queer” and trans-, to schematise the generative capacity of the always-already queer modalities of masculinity within cultural-nationalist imaginaries. All these authors occupy distinct positions in Australian literature their work crosses fiction and biography to articulate narratives of “outsider” subjectivity and experience that challenge cultural-nationalist formations. This thesis examines the representation of nation and masculinity in the work of Australian authors Martin Boyd, Patrick White, Sumner Locke Elliott, and Christos Tsiolkas across the mid-late twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
