The end of the affair [6]
by Greene, Graham, 1904-1991.
2013 Audie Award Winner, Audiobook of the Year Graham Greene s evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King's Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release. The End of the Affair, set in London during and just after World War II, is the story of a flourishing love affair between Maurice Bendrix and Sarah Miles. After a violent episode at Maurice's apartment, Sarah suddenly and without explanation breaks off the affair. This very intimate story about what actually constitutes love is enhanced by Mr. Firth's narration, who said this book struck me very, very particularly at the time when I read it and I thought my familiarity with it would give the journey a personal slant. I'm grateful for this honor, Firth said when this production was recognized by the Audie Awards as Audiobook of the Year for 2013, and grateful for the opportunity to narrate one of my favorite stories. A great novel told in the first person makes for the best script an actor could imagine. None better than The End of the Affair . Theater and film each offer their own challenges and rewards, but narration is a new practice for me and the audiobook performance provides exhilarating possibilities for both actors and listeners. I'm thrilled to be involved in bringing this remarkable work of fiction to a wider audience, and thankful to Audible for offering me the opportunity to perform it and to engage with so many who share my passion for storytelling.

At a time when women did not commonly travel unescorted, carry a rifle, sit down in bars, or have romantic liaisons with other women, Lucy Lobdell boldly set forth to earn men's wages.

The bookseller : a novel
by Swanson, Cynthia, 1965-
A provocative and hauntingly powerful debut novel reminiscent of Sliding Doors, The Bookseller follows a woman in the 1960s who must reconcile her reality with the tantalizing alternate world of her dreams. Nothing is as permanent as it appears . . . Denver, 1962: Kitty Miller has come to terms with her unconventional single life. She loves the bookshop she runs with her best friend, Frieda, and enjoys complete control over her day-to-day existence. She can come and go as she pleases, answering to no one. There was a man once, a doctor named Kevin, but it didn't quite work out the way Kitty had hoped. Then the dreams begin. Denver, 1963: Katharyn Andersson is married to Lars, the love of her life. They have beautiful children, an elegant home, and good friends. It's everything Kitty Miller once believed she wanted--but it only exists when she sleeps. Convinced that these dreams are simply due to her overactive imagination, Kitty enjoys her nighttime forays into this alternate world. But with each visit, the more irresistibly real Katharyn's life becomes. Can she choose which life she wants? If so, what is the cost of staying Kitty, or becoming Katharyn? As the lines between her worlds begin to blur, Kitty must figure out what is real and what is imagined. And how do we know where that boundary lies in our own lives?
The undertaker's wife : a memoir : a true story of love, loss, and laughter in the unlikeliest of places
by Oliver, Dee.
On Dee Branch's first date with Johnnie Oliver, a fourth-generation funeral director, she knew she was in for a unique relationship when he had to leave for just a minute--and he came back to the car with a corpse. Over twenty years later, Dee was still in love with her charming southern gentleman when he passed away suddenly in 2007. Determined to carry on Johnnie's work, Dee earned her mortuary science degree, only to find herself barred from reentering the family business. And so Dee crossed the racial divide in the most segregated industry in America and joined the staff of an African-American funeral home as a single white woman. In The Undertaker's Wife, Oliver draws from her wealth of experience to provide candid and often hysterically funny advice on dying well and surviving the loss of those who have gone before. Her insights on the common ground of grief, survival, and the ever-present faithfulness of God (to all of us, regardless of our race, religious upbringing, or socio-economic background) will help readers prepare for one of life's only certainties--and do it with wisdom, grace, and a healthy dose of joy.

Trees in paradise : a California history
by Farmer, Jared, 1974-
California now has more trees than at any time since the late Pleistocene. This green landscape, however, is not the work of nature. It's the work of history. In the years after the Gold Rush, American settlers remade the California landscape, harnessing nature to their vision of the good life. Horticulturists, boosters, and civic reformers began to improve the bare, brown countryside, planting millions of trees to create groves, wooded suburbs, and landscaped cities. They imported the blue-green eucalypts whose tangy fragrance was thought to cure malaria. They built the lucrative Orange Empire on the sweet juice and thick skin of the Washington navel, an industrial fruit. They lined their streets with graceful palms to announce that they were not in the Midwest anymore.To the north the majestic coastal redwoods inspired awe and invited exploitation. A resource in the state, the durable heartwood of these timeless giants became infrastructure, transformed by the saw teeth of American enterprise. By 1900 timber firms owned the entire redwood forest; by 1950 they had clear-cut almost all of the old-growth trees.In time California's new landscape proved to be no paradise: the eucalypts in the Berkeley hills exploded in fire; the orange groves near Riverside froze on cold nights; Los Angeles's palms harbored rats and dropped heavy fronds on the streets below. Disease, infestation, and development all spelled decline for these nonnative evergreens. In the north, however, a new forest of second-growth redwood took root, nurtured by protective laws and sustainable harvesting. Today there are more California redwoods than there were a century ago.Rich in character and story, Trees in Paradise is a dazzling narrative that offers an insightful, new perspective on the history of the Golden State and the American West.
Bettyville : a memoir
by Hodgman, George.
A beautifully crafted memoir, rich with humor and wisdom. --Will Schwalbe, author of The End of Your Life Book Club The idea of a cultured gay man leaving New York City to care for his aging mother in Paris, Missouri, is already funny, and George Hodgman reaps that humor with great charm. But then he plunges deep, examining the warm yet fraught relationship between mother and son with profound insight and understanding. --Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home When George Hodgman leaves Manhattan for his hometown of Paris, Missouri, he finds himself--an unlikely caretaker and near-lethal cook--in a head-on collision with his aging mother, Betty, a woman of wit and will. Will George lure her into assisted living? When hell freezes over. He can't bring himself to force her from the home both treasure--the place where his father's voice lingers, the scene of shared jokes, skirmishes, and, behind the dusty antiques, a rarely acknowledged conflict: Betty, who speaks her mind but cannot quite reveal her heart, has never really accepted the fact that her son is gay. As these two unforgettable characters try to bring their different worlds together, Hodgman reveals the challenges of Betty's life and his own struggle for self-respect, moving readers from their small town--crumbling but still colorful--to the star-studded corridors of Vanity Fair. Evocative of The End of Your Life Book Club and The Tender Bar , Hodgman's debut is both an indelible portrait of a family and an exquisitely told tale of a prodigal son's return.
Parenting in the present moment : how to stay focused on what really matters
by Naumburg, Carla.
This generation of parents is overwhelmed with parenting advice. Carla Naumburg sets out to remind them that they have everything they need to raise healthy, happy children. Mindful parenting is about paying attention to what is going on with your children and yourself, without judging, freaking out, or thinking everyone should be doing something differently. In Parenting in the Present Moment , Naumburg shares what truly matters in parenting - connecting with children in ways that are meaningful to them and you, staying grounded amid the craziness of parenting, and staying present for whatever life throws your way. With reassuring, compassionate storytelling, she weaves the most current theories - about healthy relationships, compassionate self-care, and mindfulness - throughout vignettes of her own chaotic childhood and parental struggles. She shows how mindfulness creates a solid foundation for any style of parenting, regardless of your cultural background, socioeconomic status, or family structure. She also introduces the STAY model for tough times: Stop whatever it is you're doing; Take a breath; Attune to your thoughts and those of your child; and Yield. Parenting is an ongoing journey that constantly challenges every parent. Parenting in the Present Moment will help each family find its own way.
The opposite of spoiled : raising kids who are grounded, generous, and smart about money
by Lieber, Ron.
In the spirit of Wendy Mogel's The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman's Nurture Shock, New York Times Your Money columnist Ron Lieber delivers a taboo-shattering manifesto that explains how talking openly to children about money can help parents raise modest, patient, grounded young adults who are financially wise beyond their years. For Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist and father, good parenting means talking about money with our kids. Children are hyper-aware of money, and they have scores of questions about its nuances. But when parents shy away from the topic, they lose a tremendous opportunity--not just to model the basic financial behaviors that are increasingly important for young adults but also to imprint lessons about what the family truly values. Written in a warm, accessible voice, grounded in real-world experience and stories from families with a range of incomes, The Opposite of Spoiled is both a practical guidebook and a values-based philosophy. The foundation of the book is a detailed blueprint for the best ways to handle the basics: the tooth fairy, allowance, chores, charity, saving, birthdays, holidays, cell phones, checking accounts, clothing, cars, part-time jobs, and college tuition. It identifies a set of traits and virtues that embody the opposite of spoiled, and shares how to embrace the topic of money to help parents raise kids who are more generous and less materialistic. But The Opposite of Spoiled is also a promise to our kids that we will make them better with money than we are. It is for all of the parents who know that honest conversations about money with their curious children can help them become more patient and prudent, but who don't know how and when to start.
Sapiens : a brief history of humankind
by Harari, Yuval N.
One hundred thousand years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; to trust money, books, and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables, and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come? In Sapiens , Professor Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical--and sometimes devastating--breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology, and economics, and incorporating full-color illustrations throughout the text, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behavior from the legacy of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come? Bold, wide-ranging, and provocative, Sapiens integrates history and science to challenge everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our heritage...and our future.
Gotti's rules : the story of John Alite, Junior Gotti, and the demise of the American mafia
by Anastasia, George.
The notorious Gotti family is the stuff of mob legend. The Dapper Don, John Gotti Sr., and his son John A. Junior Gotti ran New York's powerful Gambino crime family and were well known for their flamboyant style and brutal ways, an image perpetuated in popular Mafia mythology. John Alite, a mob hit man, associate, and close friend of the Gottis, has a very different story to tell. An Albanian-American from Queens, Alite was an unlikely ally to the Gottis and the Italian mob, but with his street smarts he was eventually recruited to be Junior Gotti's protector and muscle. For decades Alite worked as a thug, drug dealer, and murderer for Junior Gotti and his infamous father. Although he reaped the benefits of working under the powerful mob figure, Alite discovered firsthand that the legendary American Mafia--an organization that claimed to be built on honor and loyalty--was nothing more than a façade for the hypocritical, manipulative, and greedy criminals like the Gottis who ran it. Following a harrowing sentence in a Brazilian prison (a system considered among the worst in the world), Alite was extradited to the United States in 2006 and agreed to help the feds put Gotti Jr. and his fearsome crime family behind bars. No one was better placed as an informant than Alite--the man who knew the real truth about the Gotti family. The Gotti family's startling story has never been fully told until now. In Gotti's Rules, veteran true-crime writer and prize-winning reporter George Anastasia gains unprecedented access to the Gotti crime family's stories and secrets, including its fascinating Gotti Rules of leadership. Based on extensive FBI files and exclusive interviews with insiders and experts, particularly former insider John Alite, Anastasia's unparalleled access demystifies the infamous Gotti family and its larger-than-life legend and provides irrefutable proof of shocking allegations against Gotti Jr. that have never before been confirmed. Filled with eye-opening revelations and insider detail, and illustrated with photographs, Gotti's Rules is a shocking and fascinating account of the violent rise and fall of the modern American mob.
ISIS : inside the army of terror
by Weiss, Michael, 1985-
A revelatory look inside the world's most dangerous terrorist group. Initially dismissed by US President Barack Obama, along with other fledgling terrorist groups, as a jayvee squad compared to al-Qaeda, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has shocked the world by conquering massive territories in both countries and promising to create a vast new Muslim caliphate that observes the strict dictates of Sharia law. In ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror , American journalist Michael Weiss and Syrian analyst Hassan Hassan explain how these violent extremists evolved from a nearly defeated Iraqi insurgent group into a jihadi army of international volunteers who behead Western hostages in slickly produced videos and have conquered territory equal to the size of Great Britain. Beginning with the early days of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the founder of ISIS's first incarnation as al-Qaeda in Iraq, Weiss and Hassan explain who the key players are-from their elusive leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to the former Saddam Baathists in their ranks-where they come from, how the movement has attracted both local and global support, and where their financing comes from. Political and military maneuvering by the United States, Iraq, Iran, and Syria have all fueled ISIS's astonishing and explosive expansion. Drawing on original interviews with former US military officials and current ISIS fighters, the authors also reveal the internecine struggles within the movement itself, as well as ISIS's bloody hatred of Shiite Muslims, which is generating another sectarian war in the region. Just like the one the US thought it had stopped in 2011 in Iraq. Past is prologue and America's legacy in the Middle East is sowing a new generation of terror. [A] superb piece of journalism, unsparing in its analysis of the folly of the Obama administration. -Nick Cohen, The Spectator (UK) The first book to fully explain what ISIS is seeking and why they are such a threat to the world. An absolute must-read for anyone who wants to understand the risk we all face from radical Islam. -Douglas E. Schoen, political analyst, author of The Russia-China Axis: The New Cold War and America's Crisis of Leadership
The rise of ISIS : a threat we can't ignore
by Sekulow, Jay.
THE DEFINITIVE BOOK ON ISIS Jay Sekulow, one of America's most influential attorneys, closely examines the rise of the terrorist groups ISIS and Hamas, explains their objectives and capabilities and how, if left undefeated, their existence could unleash a genocide of historic proportions. Recently, the world has been shaken by gruesome photos and videos that have introduced us to the now infamous terrorist group known as ISIS. The world's wealthiest and most powerful jihadists, ISIS originated within Al Qaeda with the goal of creating an Islamic state across Iraq and Syria and unrelenting jihad on Christians. Separate from ISIS, the terrorist group Hamas has waged an equally brutal war against Israel. Both groups, if left undefeated, have the potential to unleash a catastrophic genocide. Rise of ISIS gives a better understanding of the modern face of terror,andprovides an overview of the laws of war and war crimes. These laws differentiate between the guilty and innocent, and explain why the US military and the Israeli Defense Forces are often limited in their defensive measures. The authors' firsthand experience, including multiple appearances before the Office of the Prosecutor, International Criminal Court at The Hague, along with direct contact battling jihadists during operation Iraqi Freedom lends insight into this important geopolitical issue. A must-have for anyone who wants to better understand the conflict that exists in the middle east, this well-researched and fully annotated volume is invaluable in revealing how this new brand of terrorism poses a very real threat to Americans and the world at large. It also serves as a guide to what we as individuals-and as a nation-can do to stop this escalating violence, prevent jihad, and protect Israel and America from this imminent threat. Includes a link to an exclusive track from the Jay Sekulow Band, Where I Stand, a moving tribute to the persecuted Christians in Iraq.

Walking on Trampolines
by Whiting, Frances.
Praised as a tender exploration of friendship, families, and first love (Liane Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author of The Husband's Secret ), this coming-of-age novel from bestselling author Frances Whiting is equal parts heartwarming, accessible, and thought provoking. Tallulah de Longland, she said slowly, letting all the Ls in my name loll about lazily in her mouth before passing judgment. That, she announced, is a serious glamorgeous name. From the day Annabelle Andrews sashays into her classroom, Tallulah 'Lulu' de Longland is bewitched: by Annabelle, by her family, and by their sprawling, crumbling house tumbling down to the river. Their unlikely friendship intensifies through a secret language where they share confidences about their unusual mothers, first loves, and growing up in the small coastal town of Juniper Bay. But the euphoria of youth rarely lasts, and the implosion that destroys their friendship leaves lasting scars and a legacy of self-doubt that haunts Lulu into adulthood. Years later, Lulu is presented with a choice: remain the perpetual good girl who misses out, or finally step out from the shadows and do something extraordinary. And possibly unforgivable... It's not how far you fall, but how high you bounce.
Arrows of rain
by Ndibe, Okey, 1960-
This debut novel from the author of the powerful, universally acclaimed Foreign Gods, Inc. looks at a woman's drowning and the ensuing investigation in an emerging African nation. In the country of Madia (based in part on Ndibe's native Nigeria) a young prostitute runs into the sea and drowns. The last man who spoke to her, the madman Bukuru, is asked to account for her last moments. When his testimony implicates the Madian armed forces, Bukuru is arrested and charged with her death. At the first day of trial, Bukuru, acting as his own attorney, counters these charges with allegations of his own, speaking not only of government complicity in a series of violent assaults and killings, but telling the court that the president of Madia himself is guilty of rape and murder. The incident is hushed up, and Bukuru is sent back to prison, where he will likely meet his end. But a young journalist manages to visit him, and together they journey through decades of history that illuminate Bukuru's life, and that of the entire nation. A brave and powerful work of fiction, Arrows of Rain is a brilliant dramatization of the complex factors behind the near-collapse of a nation from one of the most exciting novelists writing today.

Doing the devil's work
by Loehfelm, Bill.
A gripping third chapter for one of the most unforgettable and compelling heroines in crime fiction You have a temper, Officer Coughlin, and a propensity for violence . . . You're a bit of a hazard. To others. To yourself. Maureen Coughlin is a bona fide New Orleans cop now, and, with her training days behind her, she likes to think she's getting the lay of the land. Then a mysterious corpse leads to more questions than answers, and a late-night traffic stop goes very wrong. The fallout leaves Maureen contending with troubled friends, fraying loyalties, cop-hating enemies old and new, and an elusive, spectral, and murderous new nemesis--and all the while navigating the twists and turns of a city anda police department infected with dysfunction and corruption. Bill Loehfelm is a rising star in crime fiction. And his Maureen Coughlin is the perfect protagonist: complicated, strong-willed, sympathetic (except when she's not), and as fully realized in Loehfelm's extraordinary portrayal as the New Orleans she patrols. The first two installments in this series won Loehfelm accolades as well as fans, and Doing the Devil's Work only ups the ante. It's even faster, sharper, and more thrilling than its predecessors. Taut and fiery, vibrant and gritty, and peopled with unforgettable characters, this is the sinuous, provocative story of a good cop struggling painfully into her own.

A small indiscretion : a novel
by Ellison, Jan.
For readers of Meg Wolitzer, Elizabeth Strout, and Anna Quindlen, A Small Indiscretion is a gripping and ultimately redemptive novel of love and its dangers, marriage and its secrets, youth and its treacherous mistakes. A Small Indiscretion fixes an unflinching eye on the power of desire and the danger of obsession as it unfolds the story of one woman's reckoning with a youthful mistake. At nineteen, Annie Black trades a bleak future in her washed-out hometown for a London winter of drinking to oblivion and yearning for deliverance. Some two decades later, she is married to a good man and settled in San Francisco, with a son and two daughters and a successful career designing artistic interior lights. One June morning, a photograph arrives in her mailbox, igniting an old longing and setting off a chain of events that rock the foundations of her marriage and threaten to overturn her family's hard-won happiness. The novel moves back and forth across time between San Francisco in the present and that distant winter in Europe. The two worlds converge and explode when the adult Annie returns to London seeking answers, her indiscretions come to light, and the phone rings with shocking news about her son. Now Annie must fight to save her family by piecing together the mystery of her past--the fateful collision of liberation and abandon and sexual desire that drew an invisible map of her future. A Small Indiscretion is a riveting debut novel about a woman's search for understanding and forgiveness, a taut exploration of a modern marriage, and of love--the kind that destroys, and the kind that redeems. Advance praise for A Small Indiscretion An engrossing, believable, gracefully written family drama that reveals our past's bare-knuckle grip on our present. --Emma Donoghue, New York Times bestselling author of Room A stunning debut by Jan Ellison . . . Like the photograph that arrives in the mail and sets in motion the plot of this gorgeous novel, A Small Indiscretion reminds us of the intensity of youthful desire and of the fragile nature of a marriage built on secrecy. --Ann Packer, New York Times bestselling author of The Dive from Clausen's Pier It might be convenient if our mistakes would fade with time rather than hunt us down complete with consequence, but that wouldn't make for the kind of taut, hypnotic story Jan Ellison tells. The impact of narrator Annie Black's 'small' indiscretion is anything but, and in a brilliantly paced unraveling, Ellison makes vivid the sometimes tragic interplay of choice and fate, lust and love, youth and adulthood--which can bring its own mistakes. Absorbing, chilling, and moving, A Small Indiscretion is the debut of an elegant writer who will be known and admired from the start. --Robin Black, author of Life Drawing An emotional thriller of the Anita Shreve variety, with revelations that continue and relationships that evolve until the final pages . . . Connoisseurs of domestic suspense will finish this book in a few breathless sittings, then wait eagerly for Ellison's next trick. --Kirkus Reviews [A] cleverly constructed debut . . . a deftly crafted, absorbing novel that peels back the layers of Annie's character as it reveals the secrets of her past and present. -- Booklist
Doctor Death
by Kaaberbol, Lene.
From the coauthor of the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller The Boy in the Suitcase , a gripping plot ( Publishers Weekly , starred review) and captivating historical thriller. Strong-minded and ambitious, Madeleine Karno is eager to shatter the constraints of her provincial French upbringing. She wants to become a pathologist like her father, whose assistant she is, but this is 1894, and autopsies are considered unseemly and ungodly, even when performed by a man-hence his odious nickname, Doctor Death. That a young woman should wish to spend her time dissecting corpses is too scandalous for words. Thus, when seventeen-year-old Cecile Montaine is found dead in the snowy streets of Varbourg, her family will not permit a full post-mortem autopsy, and Madeleine and her father are left with a single mysterious clue: in the dead girl's nostrils they find a type of parasite normally seen only in dogs. Soon after, the priest who held vigil by the dead girl's corpse is brutally murdered. The thread that connects these two events is a tangled one, and as the death toll mounts, Madeleine must seek knowledge in odd places: behind convent walls, in secret diaries, and in the yellow stare of an aging wolf. Eloquently written and with powerful insight into human and animal nature, Doctor Death is at once a gripping mystery and a poignant coming-of-age story.

A widely acclaimed young writer's fierce new novel,nbsp;in which childbirth and new motherhood are as high stakes a proving ground as any combat zone A year has passed since Ari gave birth to Walker, though it went so badly awry she has trouble calling it birth and still she can't locate herself in her altered universe. Amid the strange, disjointed rhythms of her days and nights and another impending winter in upstate New York, Ari is a tree without roots, struggling to keep her branches aloft.

Soon theynbsp;become comrades-in-arms, and the previously hostile terrain seems almost navigable. With piercing insight, purifying anger, and outrageous humor, Elisa Albert issues a wake-up call to a culture that turns its new mothers into exiles, and expects them to act like natives. Like Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk About Kevin and Anne Enright's The Gathering , this is anbsp;daring andnbsp;resonant novel from one of our most visceral writers.

The last flight of Poxl West
by Torday, Daniel.
Poxl West fled the Nazis' onslaught in Czechoslovakia. He escaped their clutches again in Holland. He pulled Londoners from the Blitz's rubble. He wooed intoxicating, unconventional beauties. He rained fire on Germany from his RAF bomber. Poxl West is the epitome of manhood and something of an idol to his teenage nephew, Eli Goldstein, who reveres him as a brave, singular, Jewish war hero. Poxl fills Eli's head with electric accounts of his derring-do, adventures and romances, as he collects the best episodes from his storied life into a memoir. He publishes that memoir, Skylock, to great acclaim, and its success takes him on the road, and out of Eli's life. With his uncle gone, Eli throws himself into reading his opus and becomes fixated on all things Poxl. But as he delves deeper into Poxl's history, Eli begins to see that the life of the fearless superman he's adored has been much darker than he let on, and filled with unimaginable loss from which he may have not recovered. As the truth about Poxl emerges, it forces Eli to face irreconcilable facts about the war he's romanticized and the vision of the man he's held so dear. Daniel Torday's debut novel, The Last Flight of Poxl West, beautifully weaves together the two unforgettable voices of Eli Goldstein and Poxl West, exploring what it really means to be a hero, and to be a family, in the long shadow of war.

by Essbaum, Jill Alexander.
Madame Bovary meets Fifty Shades of Grey .* Anna was a good wife, mostly. For readers of The Girl on the Train and The Woman Upstairs comes a striking debut novel of marriage, fidelity, sex, and morality, featuring a fascinating heroine who struggles to live a life with meaning--a modern-day Anna Karenina tale.** ONE OF THE HUFFINGTON POST 'S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2015 Anna Benz, an American in her late thirties, lives with her Swiss husband, Bruno--a banker--and their three young children in a postcard-perfect suburb of Zürich. Though she leads a comfortable, well-appointed life, Anna is falling apart inside.

But Anna can't easily extract herself from these affairs. When she wants to end them, she finds it's difficult. Tensions escalate, and her lies start to spin out of control. Having crossed a moral threshold, Anna will discover where a woman goes when there is no going back. Intimate, intense, and written with the precision of a Swiss Army knife, Jill Alexander Essbaum's debut novel is an unforgettable story of marriage, fidelity, sex, morality, and most especially self. Navigating the lines between lust and love, guilt and shame, excuses and reasons, Anna Benz is an electrifying heroine whose passions and choices readers will debate with recognition and fury.

Hausfrau creates a complete, engrossing, and particular world where nothing is as easy as it should be, according to the hopeful stories we tell ourselves. It's a corrective novel, taking character, destiny, and our choices as seriously as a novelist can. --Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?

The strategist : Brent Scowcroft and the call of national security
by Sparrow, Bartholomew H., 1959-
For more than thirty years, Brent Scowcroft has played a central role in American foreign policy. Scowcroft helped manage the American departure from Vietnam, helped plan the historic breakthrough to China, urged the first President Bush to repel the invasion of Kuwait, and worked to shape the West's skillful response to the collapse of the Soviet empire. And when US foreign policy has gone awry, Scowcroft has quietly stepped in to repair the damage. His was one of the few respected voices in Washington to publicly warn the second President Bush against rushing to war in Iraq. The Strategist offers the first comprehensive examination of Brent Scowcroft's career. Author Bartholomew Sparrow details Scowcroft's fraught relationships with such powerful figures as Henry Kissinger (the controversial mentor Scowcroft ultimately outgrew), Alexander Haig (his one-time rival for Oval Office influence), and Condoleezza Rice (whose career Scowcroft helped launch-and with whom he publicly broke over Iraq). Through compelling narrative, in-depth research, and shrewd analysis, The Strategist brings color and focus to the complex and often secretive nature of US foreign policy-an intellectual battlefield on which personalities, ideas, and worldviews clash, dramatically shaping the world in which we live.
ISIS : the state of terror
by Stern, Jessica, 1958-
Drawing on their unprecedented access to intelligence sources and law enforcement, and on groundbreaking research, two of America's leading experts on violent extremism and terrorism explain the genesis, evolution, and implications of today's most barbaric jihadist army, Islamic State--and how we can fight it In a world where terrorist groups have become a fixture of contemporary politics and warfare, the sheer brutality of the group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or simply the Islamic State, has shocked even the most jaded observers. Its sadistic disregard for human life, sophisticated use of social media, acquisition of territory, and ability to attract foreign fighters--many from modern Western democracies--is unprecedented. ISIS: The State of Terror is an analysis of the methods ISIS uses to both frighten innocent citizens and lure new soldiers--including the ghoulish pornography of their propaganda videos, the seductive appeal of jihadi chic, and their startlingly effective social media expertise. While ISIS poses a significant threat, our response must be carefully calibrated, terrorism experts Jessica Stern and J.M. Berger warn; in many ways, ISIS has risen from the ashes of our attempts to combat terrorism so far. Although the picture Stern and Berger paint is bleak, ISIS: The State of Terror also offers well-informed thoughts on potential government responses to ISIS--most importantly, emphasizing that we must alter our present conceptions of terrorism and terrorists and react to the rapidly changing jihadi landscape, both online and off, as quickly as the terrorists do. ISIS: The State of Terror is not only a compelling account of the evolution of a terrorist organization, but a necessary book that attempts to answer the question of what our next move--as a country, as a government, as the world--should be.
Delicious foods : a novel
by Hannaham, James.
Held captive by her employers--and by her own demons--on a mysterious farm, a widow struggles to reunite with her young son in this uniquely American story of freedom, perseverance, and survival. Darlene, once an exemplary wife and a loving mother to her young son, Eddie, finds herself devastated by the unforeseen death of her husband. Unable to cope with her grief, she turns to drugs, and quickly forms an addiction. One day she disappears without a trace. Unbeknownst to eleven-year-old Eddie, now left behind in a panic-stricken search for her, Darlene has been lured away with false promises of a good job and a rosy life. A shady company named Delicious Foods shuttles her to a remote farm, where she is held captive, performing hard labor in the fields to pay off the supposed debt for her food, lodging, and the constant stream of drugs the farm provides to her and the other unfortunates imprisoned there. In Delicious Foods, James Hannaham tells the gripping story of three unforgettable characters: a mother, her son, and the drug that threatens to destroy them. Through Darlene's haunted struggle to reunite with Eddie, through the efforts of both to triumph over those who would enslave them, and through the irreverent and mischievous voice of the drug that narrates Darlene's travails, Hannaham's daring and shape-shifting prose infuses this harrowing experience with grace and humor. The desperate circumstances that test the unshakeable bond between this mother and son unfold into myth, and Hannaham's treatment of their ordeal spills over with compassion. Along the way we experience a tale at once contemporary and historical that wrestles with timeless questions of love and freedom, forgiveness and redemption, tenacity and the will to survive.

Tobacco Valley, Connecticut Photo Heavy
It's been interesting to see others' surroundings, and I hope you enjoy this brief tour through one of the few remaining "wrap tobacco" areas of the country. They are now a fourth generation farm, and the owners are deeply committed to remaining farmers.
All of this is within 1/4 mile of my house, and it hasn't ceased to amaze me for my entire life that the growing, harvesting and drying methods remain unchanged. Virtually Nothing is mechanized except for tractors pulling the harvest rather than horses.
The view from my yard across the street to the "sun type" fields. Note the empty tractor-pulled wagon.
One side of the field is planted for seed; the other for strictly foliage. Each year the seed fields are rotated so that the soil doesn't wear out.
True Nicotiana:
The other type of tobacco is shade grown -- a luxury amongst cigar makers. This is the type of tobacco I worked on in my youth, and suffice to say that the heat index under those nets is suffocating:
Harvested and ready for cover crop ...
Leaves are sorted in the field by length, and transported for drying -- these guys cruise so just managed to get the now-filled wagaon. We watch and hear this scene for several days, all day, each summer:
The leaves are then hung to dry -- only certain workers that have worked the fields for many years are allowed to do the acrobatics necessary to hang the leaves:
Hope you enjoyed learning about our part of CT's agricultural history!
Looks like the country there Martie. I would have never guessed that they grew tobacco in CT. I always thought it was grown either in the South or out of the country. I wonder if the focus on No Smoking everywhere has put a dent in the growers who grow tobacco? Or are there still a lot of smokers? I love that last photo of all the leaves hanging. So you actually worked in the tobacco fields at some point? Right in your neighborhood where you are now?
Martie, I didn't know tobacco was grown this far north, either!
Tobacco was the main agriculture in the area where I went to school. I used to be jealous of the kids who didn't have to come to school because they were excused to work in the fields. I didn't really understand the hard work involved back then :)
It is very picturesque and makes me a bit homesick :) Thanks for sharing with us!
The tobacco grown in Connecticut is strictly for cigars. Thus, more farmers are turning to it as a mid-season crop than are turning away given the demand for high-end cigars. New England farmers in particular LOVE the trade embargo with Cuba. Just another of those swamp Yankee things.....
Yes, I did work under the nets, and we never knew what farm or even town we'd end up in that day. All the farmers kind of hire a herd of people and use them where needed. Much of the work now is done by professional farm laborers, but there are still kids who see a means to a lot of bucks working the fields.
You can start when you're fourteen as a "under netter." You sit on burlap between the rows, and scooch back to pick only mature leaves. At this point it's all piece work. You hand the leaves to a sorter as you go, who brings them to the end of the row where they're sown. Sorting is the most physically demanding as you're hauling huge amounts of wet leaves up and down obviously long rows.
Sowing is a promotion, and involves using a foot-pedaled machine that puts two twine stiches into each of the bundles. Each bundle is usually only about five leaves thick so that they'll dry evenly. There's a loop of twine on top so the bundle can be hung.
Each sower has a hanger (another promotion) who takes the sewn bundles and puts them on a drying rod -- just a dowel-like piece of wood, and when the dowel is full brings it to to the cart.
The drivers have the best job of all, as you might guess.
With each promotion, it gets less filthy and cooler. Pickers and sorters get no break, sewers get minute breaks, hangers get the most breaks while waiting for wagons to come back.
There used to be at least two thousand acres planted each year in my little part of the state. Now, there are about 1,200 and I give the farmers credit for sticking with it when it could be more lucrative and much easier to sell to developers.
Come anytime and see for yourself!
Martie, that is interesting ! I have never seen a field of tobacco, except in pictures. I 'did' grow my own little patch just for fun. I sent for the seeds from a catalog. ( It was a long time ago...I think it was Thompsons.) We didn't dry the leaves. :-) I think maybe they were eaten up by tobacco worms. LOL
Martie, I might have to sally forth and get some grape harvest photos ! This was quite an education, as many others have mentioned I had no idea that tobacco was grown in CT. I imagine that savy farmers are considering alternative crops as the use of tobacco declines ? Here in Napa county the 'mono-culture' farming practices are starting to be questioned;you are seeing olive orchards, and other fruit trees making a comeback.
Thanks for the tour !

The whole farming culture is fascinating indeed. Maine was one of the first states in the country to have a really active organic farming and gardening organization (Maine Organic Farmer and Gardener Assoc.). They remain a presence in agriculture and policy making in the state. Oakhurst Dairy was the first in the country to refuse to use Artificial Growth Hormone and they were sued for for it on the grounds their claim insinuated AGH was dangerous! (they have since modified the claim to comply since they didn't have the $ to fight agribusiness; but what does the aggressive lawsuit insinuate about AGH??).
For many, many years the central plains of Maine produced reliable harvests of grain. But the ground is rocky and the post Civil War years saw an exodus to the mid-west where 24" of stoneless topsoil was readily available. Recently, there is a group beginning to explore the viability of growing grain again; fuel prices and consumer interest providing the impetus.
On Monday there was an interesting lecture on NPR about food production, how much it REALLY costs, and how "cheap" food is really an illusion. Very revealing. The program is Word For Word, I tried to find a direct link to it, but couldn't. The speaker was a fascinating guy named, Paul Roberts and he was discussing his book, "The End of Food". Sounds like another book I'd like to read but will forget about in due time. :)
We have a shop expression for those times when you're looking for something, can't find it, and it's right in front of you. That's "lookin' like a man". :)
Found the link!
Here is a link that might be useful: The end of food
So glad you're enjoying this and learning a bit more about our wonderful area!
If the radius goes from 1/4 mile to about 2 miles, there are two premiere heirloom apple orchards, peach orchards, expanses of baby nursery shrubs tucked in here and there, corn for cows and humans, wheat, a pick-your-own place that encompasses five acres of organic veggies of every sort, berry fields, and a daylily grower.
We also have a farm that produces incredible compost and manure from their head of prize Holsteins, mums, and arguably some of the best on-site-made ice cream in the world.
The residents of our little area are hugely sensitive to the "specialness" in which we live and vehemently protect the land.
It may be interesting to note that while cigarette tobacco production is declining, cigar tobacco in recent years has an increased following. The farmers are using the windfall to purchase additional acreage under the State farm conservation program. It'll be interesting to see what pops up in those fields :-)

How you gon' upgrade me
What's higher than number one
from Beyoncé (Ft. Jay Z) – Upgrade U Lyrics on Genius
Jay Z is known to be the "best rapper alive", so there's no way she can upgrade him in the music business. She did "upgrade" him in their personal life by making him a dad.
To help improve the quality of the lyrics, visit Beyoncé (Ft. Jay Z) – Upgrade U Lyrics and leave a suggestion at the bottom of the page

Chavez: Venezuela is no threat, Obama is a "good guy" - Yahoo! News
A good one for Barry
Barry wants to be a dictator, if elected during the next four years that will become very obvious, he will have nothing to lose, then we will all see the real Obama, his wife is just as bad wait until she really lets loose, lots of fun coming up, the MSNBC crowd will all have to put into Insane Asylums (nut houses) GW Bush will be drinking beer and laughing his ass off.
The dems are sending a few boxes of voter registrations cards as we speak.
Hugos just trying to sew up the socialist vote for obama. Deal with it bitc*** :singing:
Obama already has the support of the Communist party USA.
Surprised you didn't realize that?
From the Communist Party Website:
Defeating the Rightwing on the Road to Socialism » cpusa
The Socialist Workers Party and the thinks Obama hasn't been 'progressive' enough.
Who gives a ****?
He's the most corporatist president since the last one. Your team's desperate ploy to change the definition doesn't change the reality.
I'll ask again: What kind of "communist" or "socialist" would keep all of Boy King's corrupt swindlers in the financial sector in place?
Sing a different song. You're not fooling anyone.
Perhaps you do since you were compelled to answer.
LMAO the CPUSA is like 100 college kids and 20 alcoholic burn-outs at this point. Who gives a sh1t what the CPUSA says.
Russel Pearce is a white supremacist, and endorsed Romney... a couple of other ones endorsed Ron Paul, of course, the guy w/the newsletters. It pretty much tells you where candidates fall on an age-old left to right spectrum; however, the distance between these two centrists is miniscule compared to the distance to either of the extreme categories.
Stooopit stuff.
By the way, did Chavez say that while the elevator doors were closing on him?
Avoiding my question yet again? I understand. Run along now.
Obama campaign HQ, Houston, TX, circa 2008:
You "forgot" the rest of it.
snopes.com: Barack Obama Funded by Hugo Chvez?
PolitiFact | Flag was there, but Obama wasn't waving it
Ye Reap What Ye Sow
We will pay dearly, but we will bounce back, we always do.
God Willing
From thepeoplecube:
I have always said that no matter how bad he is they will Vote Obama back in I am now starting to think "maybe I'm wrong" each day more and more people even liberals are saying they have had enough of this guy, he hasn't done a damn thing he said he would, he trys to bluff his way through the same sex marriage thing but we all know he is against it as is 90% of the black community and their Churches, he has done nothing with the Bush Wars except turn them into The Obama Wars, he has done nothing asout Gitmo except buy them some new Soccer Balls, he loves drones, his drones Kill innocent women and children daily, his speeches don't thrill anybody anymore not even that fat little sh!t Chris Matthews, he hasn't done anything about his Aunt Zucchini's food stamps, my assesment is, Obama Is Full Of Sh!t.
God Willing Hugo Chavez likes him.
Wow. That is quite possibly the dumbest infographic I have ever seen. I can see why it would appeal to you.
Funny that facts strike you are dumb, speaks volumes about you.
BTW the guy who runs the site and does the illustrations is a graphic artist who escaped fro Communist Russia and did propaganda for the USSR, he understand the leftist game more than you do.
So you are posting dishonest infographs from a admitted propagandist. Pretty much what I'd expect from you.
and we have all learned to expect exactly nothing from you
I love how you always respond with these precious little ankle biting posts, as if I care. Run along now.
Separate names with a comma.

On a blog, everyone Bunburies.
Being earnest is always important.
Flip, please clarify--was that sarcastic or earnest?
No 6th ring for Pittsburgh please. That is what I will be chanting all game long. Of course, they probably will win be damnit I have to hold out hope.
Right, Navarchos. I remember in '92, Bush '41 making a big show of picking the Atlanta Braves over the Toronto Blue Jays. Takes a heckuvalot of courage to choose the team whose fans can vote for you over the team whose fans can't.
"Kurt Warner is a great story" isn't he, Navarchos? I'm sure he "very quietly" appreciates you as a fan.
Diplomatic, yes, but more impressive to me is that he actually answered the question and picked a side. I'd've hedged to no discernible end. Personally, I'm pulling for the Cardinals on this one; living in St. Louis I rather loathe the Bidwill clan but Kurt Warner remains the nicest guy in sports--he still very quietly funds and maintains a recreation room at the children's hospital where I work (and one at a specialized facility across town), though we haven't been a local charity to him for five years.
*much better defense than the other
I fear that desperately hoping for Pittsburgh to lose will not be enough. When one team has a much better than the other, they usually win Super Bowls. Barring Larry Fitzgerald becoming Superman, I must agree with the President.
Lynn Swann is of the other party, though. I have to say, it's a little staggering how much more I agree with Barack Obama on matters of sport as compared to policy. I suspect, though, that every non-Texan who was a boy in the 70s has the Steelers as their second-favorite team.
you've got to love the thought that the POTUS puts into every carefully balanced statement; that's the kind of diplomatic manner which could come in quite handy at some point...
With how PA came through in November I would think this would be a no-brainer for both of them.
How unusual. I have family members favoring the Steelers. But their team isn't in the AFC. With a chip on their shoulder. I hope the final score is Cardinals 26 - Steelers 21.

Obviously named in honor of his home state, Flo Rida has a style similar to Nelly as he half raps half sings the lyrics to his new cut Bout It Girl. Featuring a cocky verse from Trina, the "baddest" chick there is, and sprinkled with phrases like "ghettolicious lil' broad" and "stripper body shape," this song enlightens listeners on the qualifications needed for a girl to be considered 'bout it.' Anyone fit the description?

Awesome Cab Experience by customer - 09/22/2010
Took Twilight home from Bar last weekend. That was the best cab ride ever. The driver was hilarious. The trivia was great. We didnt win, but it was the cheapest cab ride we ever had. We have taken other cab companies in town to our house and Twilight was at least $3.00 cheaper. We will definitely be using twilight taxi as our regular cab company.You dont get charged extra for playing the game, so I don't know what Sammy B is talikng about.
