Delta Blue

Wilkins W: INNOCENT SOULS

INNOCENT SOULS

A Delta Blue Story

“A devastating account of the sexual awakening of an English lady . . . An intense, fastidiously crafted and disturbing novel.” —Publishers Weekly

From the “brilliant forgotten novelist” behind the “ferocious” Lord Jim at Home (The Telegraph) comes a searing tale of a young woman’s unravelling beneath the unforgiving Tuscan sun.

Miranda, her husband Louis, and their infant daughter are set to spend the summer in a rented villa in Tuscany. He’s a self-assured young American actor; she, a well-educated, well-bred English ingénue. But when Louis is called away to a shoot, Miranda is left alone with her baby in the remote Italian countryside—until a young Italian named Oreste arrives, claiming to have been invited by her now-absent husband.

Miranda quickly falls under the interloper’s spell—and into his arms—launching into a feverish affair that threatens to dissolve her already fragile, fracturing sense of self. As events spiral further out of her control, the novel hurtles headlong toward its horrifying conclusion.

Written in the same “limpid, assured style: cruel, yes, but not detached or apathetic” (Harper’s Magazine) as Lord Jim at Home, Dinah Brooke’s transgressive debut remains every bit as shocking as when it was first published in 1971.

On a bright spring afternoon in Dublin, Ciara Fay makes a split-second decision that will change everything. Grabbing an armful of clothes from the washing line, Ciara straps her two young daughters into her car and drives away. Head spinning, all she knows for certain is that home is no longer safe. This was meant to be an escape. But with dwindling savings, no job, and her family across the sea, Ciara finds herself adrift, facing a broken housing system and the voice of her own demons. As summer passes and winter closes in, she must navigate raising her children in a hotel room, searching for a new home and dealing with her husband Ryan's relentless campaign to get her to come back. Because leaving is one thing, but staying away is another. What will it take for Ciara to rebuild her life? Can she ever truly break away from Ryan's control - and what will be the cost? Tense, beautiful, and underpinned by an unassailable love, hope and resilience, this is the story of one woman's bid to start over. _______________________________________________________________'Brand-new, urgent and hugely satisfying' RODDY DOYLE 'As emotionally charged as it is brutally real.

Nesting

Die Berliner Künstlerin Julie Legouez veröffentlicht im März 2024 ihre erste Publikation, die sich dem sensiblen Thema häusliche Gewalt und der Bewältigung von Traumata widmet. Das Buch mit dem Titel "The Cure" gliedert sich in zehn Kapitel, in denen Legouez ihre persönliche Verarbeitung als Betroffene von häuslicher Gewalt aufzeigt. Legouez präsentiert akribisch gesammelte Details in einer "Akte", die als Grundlage für die grafische Ausgestaltung und den Aufbau des Buches dienen.

Häusliche Gewalt bleibt ein gesellschaftliches Problem von hoher Relevanz, und "The Cure" bietet einen persönlichen Einblick in diese Thematik. Julie Legouez sieht in ihrer Publikation einen Beitrag zur Debatte über häusliche Gewalt und Trauma-Bewältigung.

THE CURE

In the USA, law, policy, policing, and prevention work addressing domestic and intimate partner violence is created and enacted based on a violence model. This book takes a critical look at these misconceived notions and sheds light on multiple non-violent forms of controlling behavior that precipitate intimate partner homicide.

An Exploration of Coercive Control and Lethality

New to the neighborhood is Sera, her husband, and their two-year-old daughter, refugees from ecological devastation.When Janet’s adult son Conor unexpectedly arrives home sporting a fresh buzzcut and a disturbing tattoo, no one suspects just how extreme the young man has become—no one except Wairere, who can feel the danger pulsating around him. As friendship are formed, prejudices, too, arise, and discord surfaces between the trio of households, threatening to tear them apart.Their fate rests with young Wairere. By accepting who she truly is, the teenager can become the connective tissue that unites her community and helps them forge a better future together.

Routledge Revivals

Violence in the home, particularly assault by a man on his wife or girlfriend, is an everyday phenomenon. What should the police and law courts do about it? In Policing 'Domestic' Violence, first published in 1989, reissued here with a new preface, Susan Edwards draws upon her extensive research into their actual responses, both before and after recent initiatives towards reform at the time, to address the practical and theoretical issues for criminology and feminism.Examining police and court practice, the author exposes the ways in which the patriarchal ideology enshrined in the law, and the masculine ethos of the police and legal profession, ensure that women receive less justice and less protection. She documents in detail the processes by which crimes against women are trivialized.The book combines a review of international research with the author's own five-year exploration of policing in the UK through interviews with officers, observation and a review of record-keeping practice. It covers the introduction of new policing policies and offers a preliminary assessment of their success together with practical proposals for the future.At a theoretical level, this title addresses the key problems of criminality and punishment. Is it possible to reconcile the feminist critique of the marginalization of so-called domestic violence with the radical critique of the punitive system as oppressive and counterproductive? Does the protection of women justify infringement of family privacy?The book should be read in its historical context by students of criminology, law, women's studies and sociology, as well as those concerned with policies and practical measures for dealing with violence in the home.

Women, the Law and the State

Policing 'Domestic' Violence

An economist challenges an emerging orthodoxy: the idea that the best way to alleviate poverty is simply to give people money. A simple notion has become increasingly widespread in recent years: to lift people out of poverty, just give them money. Leading international organizations like the World Bank and United Nations endorse the use of cash transfers. So do Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and everyday philanthropists-the charity GiveDirectly has raised more than $800 million to distribute to households in a dozen countries. Challenging this emergent wisdom, Heath Henderson argues that cash transfers-whether one-off grants or a "basic income" provided over a stretch of time-are a flawed response to global poverty. They risk displacing interventions that recipients themselves might prefer: if a community lacks access to clean water or high-quality healthcare, for instance, giving cash to households will not address the problem, which can be solved only by putting those funds toward public infrastructure. Cash transfers have also been linked to more direct harms, including increases in domestic violence, child labor, inflation, and even mortality. The appeal of cash transfers is rooted in the idea that they avoid paternalism, letting the recipients of the money, rather than faraway donors, make choices for themselves. But as Henderson points out, such transfers substitute one form of paternalism for another, by assuming that markets know best. Poor Relief instead proposes looking beyond one-size-fits-all solutions toward a truly bottom-up alternative. Fixing global poverty is not just a matter of giving people money-it requires giving communities democratic power.
