Book Description
Forrest England finds a little girl's diary, and his life is about to change. Shunning his wife and kids over and over again, Forrest delves into the life of an abused Andrea Deveaux. Fighting the yearning to protect the little girl is a losing battle, and his overwhelming longing to shield her, soon becomes an obsession. An obsession not only for the little girl in the diary, but also for the now grown woman who wrote that diary many years ago. Through Andrea Deveaux's entire young life, she lived in fear of Mr. Hyndman and her mother. When Mr. Hyndman wasn't abusing her sexually, she was a punching bag for her mother. Pouring her heart out on the pages of her pink diary, was her only solace. That diary was her safe place. Now a thirty-four year old Andrea still sees Mr. Hyndman lurking in the shadows. Though the diary has been lost for twenty-two years, the silver key that opened it hangs on a chain around Andrea's neck. She grabs the key, as once again, her terror is heightened by the blue eyed monster. Although Forrest and Andrea have never met, they will find themselves in a myriad of twists and turns, and from afar, both battling the same harrowing demons. Both will realize that not only are the demons real, but they are much, much too close to home.

Book Description
PI Nigel Strangeways returns in a “finely written wits-twister” with a “surprise shake-up at the finish” from the renowned Golden Age mystery author (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Sex. Money. Drugs. Take your choice. In middle of a cold snap, with snow swirling round the imposing Easterham Manor, Nigel and Georgia Strangeways enter the warmth of the Victorian estate. But upon their arrival, the couple quickly learns that all is not as cozy as it seems. The whole house is pervaded by a sense of foreboding: A room is haunted, the cat is possessed, and the specter of the enigmatic Elizabeth Restorick looms. Confounded by the guests’ strange reactions to the very mention of Elizabeth’s name, Nigel never gets the chance to form his own opinion of the young woman. The next morning, Elizabeth Restorick is found hanged and naked in her room, a hint of a smile playing on her painted lips. Could her apparent suicide be more than just that? Would this beautiful girl—sensuous, compassionate, full of vitality—have taken her own life? Or did someone take it from her? With too many loose ends to count, planted evidence, and motives mounting, Nigel must delve into Miss Restorick’s colorful past to solve this tragic mystery. Praise for Nicholas Blake “An outstanding mystery novel. Mr. Blake’s writing is a delight in itself.” —The New York Times “The Nicholas Blake books are something quite by themselves in English detective fiction.” —Elizabeth Bowen “His plots are ingenious.” —The Times Literary Supplement “A master of detective fiction.” —The Daily Telegraph

Book Description
Tracing how central tensions in J.M. Coetzee's fiction converge in and are made visible by the child figure, this book establishes the centrality of the child to Coetzee's poetics. Through readings of novels from Dusklands to The Schooldays of Jesus, Charlotta Elmgren shows how Coetzee's writing stages the constant interplay between irresponsibility and responsibility-to the self, the other, and the world. In articulating this poetics of (ir)responsibility, Elmgren offers the first sustained engagement with the intersections between Coetzee's work and the philosophical thought of Giorgio Agamben. With reference also to Hannah Arendt's thinking on natality, education, and amor mundi, Elmgren demonstrates the inextricable links in Coetzee's writing between freedom, play, and serious attention to the world. The book identifies five central dynamics of Coetzee's poetics: the child as a figure of truth-telling and authenticity; the ethics of the not-so-other child; the child, new beginnings and care for the world; childish behaviour as perpetual study; and the redemptive potential of infancy. Offering a fresh contribution to the field of literary childhood studies, Elmgren shows the critical possibilities in thinking about-and with-childlike openness and childish experimentation when approaching the writing and reading of the work of J.M. Coetzee and beyond.
