![]() ![]() The Chambers Biographical Dictionary records that they arrived in Spain in the 8th century but the name is familiar from the romance by Ginés Pérez de Hita, Guerras civiles de Granada, which celebrates the feuds of the Abencerrages and the rival family of the Benedin ( Arabic banu Edin), and the cruel treatment to which the former were subjected. ![]() Little is known of the family with certainty. The name appears to have been derived from Yussuf ben-Serragh, the head of the tribe in the time of Muhammed VII, Sultan of Granada (1370–1408), who did that sovereign good service in his struggles to retain the crown of which he was three times deprived. The Abencerrages or Abencerrajes (from the Arabic for "Saddler's Son") were a family or faction that is said to have held a prominent position in the Kingdom of Granada in the 15th century. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even if it cost you your freedom, your life, your youth. He’s been shuttling between the 21st century and the 1940s searching for a Victorian atrocity called the bishops bird stump. To do something for someone or something you loved - England or Shakespeare or a dog or the Hodbins or history - wasn't a sacrifice at all. From Connie Willis, winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, comes a comedic romp through an unpredictable world of mystery, love, and time travel. Like I must have looked there in the rubble with Sir Godfrey, my hand pressed against his heart. Like Mike must have looked in Kent, composing engagement announcements and letters to the editor. Like Eileen had looked, telling Polly she'd decided to stay. As if he was where he wanted to be, doing what he wanted to do. Like Colin helping Mr Dunworthy across the wreckage. Like Ernest Shackleton, setting out in that tiny boat across icy seas. He looked like Captain Faulknor must have looked, lashing the ships together. He looked instead like Marjorie had looked telling Polly she'd joined the Nursing Service, like Mr Humphreys had looked filling buckets with water and sand to save Saint Paul's, like Miss Laburnum had looked that day she came to Townsend Brothers with the coats. Or even like someone determined to "do his bit". He didn't look - in spite of the crown of thorns - like someone making a sacrifice. ![]() ![]() “She had been wrong in thinking Christ had been called up against his will to fight in a war. ![]() ![]() When called upon, he steps up when every fiber of his being tells him not to, and discovers something deep inside himself that he didn’t realize was even there. And that’s when he finds out that first impressions can be misleading. Worse, a quirk of his situation forces him to spend time with them that he’d rather not. He’s luckily rescued by a team of US Spec-Ops Forces, only to find out they’re a bunch of bigoted jerks. Right?īut suddenly, Matt finds himself in a desperate life-or-death situation on a trip overseas, and he realizes just how much he misses home, and Brian. If he just shows a little faith and trust, he’ll appreciate what he has with Brian the way he should. And so what if Brian seems to invite Matt’s suspicions on occasion. So what if his friends tend to question just how good his boyfriend is, and so what if Brian tends to have inexplicable mood swings. And he has a very good-looking boyfriend, Brian, who he’s been happily dating for over a year now. He has his friends and his softball and his volunteer work. ![]() ![]() ![]() Vicious anti-Semitic remarks and references reflect the obsession that preoccupied Miller ( Tropic of Capricorn ) until after WW II his homophobia is also offensive. The trio lives in a frescoed basement apartment in Brooklyn and cavorts in Greenwich Village. Her lover, painter-poet Vanya (based on Jean Kronski), with an invented past as a bastard Romanoff princess, cuts a pathetic figure. ![]() Morbid enchantress Hildred, modeled on Miller's unbalanced wife, June Mansfield Smith, comes off as a pseudo-bohemian. Aspiring writer Tony Bring, depicted as a sensitive soul in a rotten world, is a misogynistic bully. Written between 19 but never before published, Miller's autobiographical novel describing his rage over his second wife's live-in lesbian lover is an awkward performance. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Each of the books listed as a sub-bullet point (e.g. The review of the series includes reviews on each of the following books (listed in order of release).

There are no other children around, so like many another lonely literary child – Alice, Mary Craven, (The Secret Garden) and Harry Potter, Coraline has to find things out for herself. ![]() The neighbours get her name wrong and her father’s cooking is peculiar to say the least, while both of her parents are too busy to pay her much attention. In the ‘real’ one, it could be explained by the fact that Coraline and her parents have just moved into the house. ![]() There’s something chilly and off-balance about both worlds. Coraline is still at the stage in her life when those outside her circle are not quite real. This gives the novel the feel of a stage play, but it also reflects the self-absorbed view of a small girl. The town Coraline visits with her mother seems to be devoid of people. We see Coraline, her parents, the ‘other parents’ their neighbours and a shop assistant. It is starkly illustrated with very few people in it. ![]() This is a clever, inventive adaptation of a stylish ‘crossover’ novel, in which a young girl discovers an alternative reality to the one she thinks she knows. Coraline by Neil Gaiman and P Craig Russell ![]() ![]() ![]() Her causes were the struggle for Indian independence, the fate of the Lascars, the welfare of Indian soldiers in the First World War - and, above all, the fight for female suffrage. Sophia transcended her heritage to devote herself to battling injustice and inequality,a far cry from the life to which she was born. But when, in secret defiance of the British government, she travelled to India, she returned a revolutionary. Sophia, god-daughter of Queen Victoria, was raised a genteel aristocratic Englishwoman- presented at court, afforded grace-and-favour lodgings at Hampton Court Palace and photographed wearing the latest fashions for the society pages. It was a territory irresistible to the British, who plundered everything, including the fabled Koh-I-Noor diamond.Įxiled to England, the dispossessed Maharajah transformed his estate at Elveden in Suffolk into a Moghul palace, its grounds stocked with leopards, monkeys and exotic birds. Her father, Maharajah Duleep Singh, was heir to the Kingdom of the Sikhs, a realm that stretched from the lush Kashmir Valley to the craggy foothills of the Khyber Pass and included the mighty cities of Lahore and Peshawar. In 1876 Sophia Duleep Singh was born into royalty. ![]() ![]() Winner of the Eastern Eye Alchemy Festival Award for Literature Print Sophia: Princess, Suffragette, Revolutionary ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shelly Knotek exhibited signs of her psychopathy at a young age, and that turned into severe abuse later in life for everyone around her. However, one thing is always clear in the story: that what Shelly did was wrong, and it scarred the girls for life. The story is told in a non-linear fashion, with events told from different perspectives and in the form of anecdotes littered throughout the story. The book follows the story of the three Knotek sisters, Nikki, Sami, and Tori, as they live a life of fear under their abusive mother Shelly, and passive father Dave Knotek.
