ISBN: 9781941720813
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Fresh out of college, small-town crime reporter Cara Nielsen sees disturbing things that suggest, for the first time in her life, that evil is real. But as the daughter of two secular academics, she pushes that notion aside. When her smart, ambitious boyfriend asks her to marry him and move to a faraway city, it's a dream come true. Four years later, confined to a city apartment with a toddler, Cara fears she is losing her mind. Sleeplessness, isolation, and postpartum hormones have altered her view of reality. Something is wrong in the lost, lonely world into which she's brought a child. Visions hint at mysteries she can't explain, and evil seems not only real-it's creeping ever closer. As her marriage falters and friends disappear, Cara seeks guidance from books, films, therapy, even the saints, when she's not scrubbing the diaper pail. Meanwhile, someone is crying out for help that only she can give. Cara must confront big questions about reality and illusion, health and illness, good and evil-and just how far she is willing to go to protect those she loves. Praise for The City Mother "With The City Mother, Maya Sinha adds an electric new entry to the distinguished ledger of Catholic fiction. Hip and stylish, yet pulsing with mystic energy, her tale of a precarious young family illuminates the unseen operations of grace and evil in a secular age. Sinha's hypnotic storytelling marks a thrilling literary debut." -Mary Eberstadt, author of Primal Screams and Adam and Eve After the Pill "I've been waiting for this novel a long time-a subtle, compelling mystery that brings to life the surreal world of postpartum motherhood and reveals its link to the numinous. I'm already anticipating Sinha's next book." -Abigail Favale, author of Into the Deep

The Mother's Legacy in Early Modern England
Author: Ms Jennifer HellerPublisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409478718
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Using printed and manuscript texts composed between 1575 and 1672, Jennifer Heller defines the genre of the mother's legacy as a distinct branch of the advice tradition in early modern England that takes the form of a dying mother's pious counsel to her children. Reading these texts in light of specific cultural contexts, social trends, and historical events, Heller explores how legacy writers used the genre to secure personal and family status, to shape their children's beliefs and behaviors, and to intervene in the period's tumultuous religious and political debates. The author's attention to the fine details of the period's religious and political swings, drawn from sources such as royal proclamations, sermons, and first-hand accounts of book-burnings, creates a fuller context for her analysis of the legacies. Similarly, Heller explains the appeal of the genre by connecting it to social factors including mortality rates and inheritance practices. Analyses of related genres, such as conduct books and fathers' legacies, highlight the unique features and functions of mothers' legacies. Heller also attends to the personal side of the genre, demonstrating that a writer's education, marriages, children, and turns of fortune affect her work within the genre.
