Pages : 346
Book Description
Helping her brother renovate his new house was not supposed to change Lena’s life. It was supposed to distract her from the fact that her husband was an adulterous slimeball. But finding a mysterious goodbye letter while banging around in the old fixer-upper changes everything. As does a wine-fueled night in which Lena ends her marriage by text. With the letter comes the friendship of Cassidy, the young mother who wrote it. When she suggests that her handsome father help finish the renovations on the house in exchange for room and board, Lena nervously accepts. She quickly comes to rely on Milo’s easy companionship and fights the impulse to let him be something more. The moment Lena might actually have things figured out, a family tragedy makes her question everything. How will Lena choose between her own happiness and the friends and family who count on her?

Customs and Beliefs of The |xam
Author: Jeremy Hollmann
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1776147766
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 600
Book Description
More than 125 years ago, a remarkable group of people came together in Cape Town to write down the language and beliefs of the |xam people, a Bushman group that once lived over much of South Africa. The immensely valuable work of Wilhelm Bleek, Lucy Lloyd and their |xam teachers not only preserved a language now no longer spoken, but also provided fascinating insights into |xam cosmology. First published in 2004, Customs and Beliefs of the |xam reproduces Dorothea Bleek's selection of |xam narratives from the well-known Bleek and Lloyd Collection that was originally published in the journal Bantu Studies during the 1930s. Collated and edited by Jeremy Hollman, the extracts include detailed notes on each of the narratives, as well as Bleek's 'sketch' of |xam grammar. This substantially revised second edition integrates new scholarship on the Bleek and Lloyd archive, and restores previously omitted material. The introduction to each narrative has been expanded to contextualise it within the archive as a whole and, where relevant, reference it to the Notebook of which it is a part. This includes meticulous cross-referencing with the Bleek and Lloyd Collection catalogue code and the Notebook number and line reference. Each of the texts has also been critically reassessed, with additional editorial notes and commentaries, in particular with respect to the |xam words themselves and the ways in which they have been translated. A synopsis of each narrative is provided in an appendix, with cross references to the Bleek and Lloyd notebooks. Customs and Beliefs of the |xam, second edition, is an in-depth, detailed and authoritative resource that will be invaluable to scholars, heritage workers and activists alike.

The Fifth Notebook of Dylan Thomas
Author: Dylan Thomas
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350103845
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Between May 1930 and August 1935, Dylan Thomas kept numerous notebooks of poems. They contain the drafts of almost all of the work that would form his first two reputation-making collections, 18 Poems (1934) and Twenty-five Poems (1936), and many of those in his third collection, The Map of Love (1939). Thomas sold four of the notebooks, spanning May 1930 to May 1934, to the University of Buffalo in 1941. However, the existence of a fifth notebook, covering the period June 1934 to August 1935, was unknown until 2014, the centenary of his birth. The Fifth Notebook of Dylan Thomas makes this newly-discovered text available to readers and researchers for the first time. It contains the only existing MSS versions of Thomas's most challenging poems, 'I, in my intricate image' and 'Altarwise by owl-light', and fourteen other early poems. It contains facsimiles and full transcripts of the originals, is annotated throughout, and has a full scholarly introduction. Exploring the contexts of these brilliant and experimental lyrics – many with substantial reworkings and variant passages – this landmark publication sheds new light on the creative practice of one of the most important and well-known poets of the twentieth century.
