Howarth C: Heap Earth Upon It

Heap Earth Upon It

A BARACK OBAMA SUMMER READING PICK 'One of the best new collections I've read in a long time' TELEGRAPH 5-STAR REVIEW 'Camille Bordas is an invaluable new voice' GEORGE SAUNDERS A young woman takes stock following a burglary. A teenager becomes obsessed with the obituaries in a weekly magazine. Grandchildren mourn the grandparents who loved them and the ones who didn't. Painters and almost-painters try to distinguish Good Art from Bad Art. People grapple with life-altering illness, unrequited love and promises they have every intention of keeping. Some win the lottery. Some don't. In this prismatic new collection, Camille Bordas's complex, wry, sometimes dark and always self-aware stories open a window onto the truths and misapprehensions of our shared, flawed humanity.

One Sun Only

A workbook designed to guide the bereaved through grief using a clinically-informed, structured storytelling method, this book gives readers the ability to disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reconcile with their loss using narrative writing. Based upon her research and the 'expressive storytelling' method she created, Linita Eapen Mathew calls upon her own experiences losing her father along with carefully structured narrative exercises to teach readers how they can write, re-examine, revise, and re-write their grief story to work towards a point of clarity and release. Leaning into grief theory and trauma-informed and therapeutic writing research, Writing Through Grief allows readers to create a complete and consistent account of their experiences to help them process events that unfolded, release trauma, and relieve the intense reactions and responses to the loss of both the living and the deceased. With each chapter combining Eapen's personal narrative with expressive storytelling exercises alongside discussion of the research behind them for context, this book offers readers a creative, productive but emotionally sensitive approach to handling grief. Whether guided by a trained psychologist, a workshop instructor or writing in the comfort of a personal space, writers can disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reflection through creative writing.

An Expressive Storytelling Workbook

Narrating Your Grief

In his final novel, the Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa returns to his native Peru. Toño Azpilcueta, proletarian intellectual, writer of sundry articles, aspirant to the now-defunct professorship of Peruvian studies, is an expert in the vals, a genre of music descended from the European waltz but rooted in New World creole culture. When he hears a performance by the elusive guitarist Lalo Molfino, Toño is convinced not only that he is in the presence of the country's finest musician, but also that his own love for Peruvian music, as he has long suspected, has a profound, provable social function. If he could just write the biography of the man before him and tell the story of both the vals and its attendant inspiring ethos, huachafería (Peru's great contribution to world culture, as per Toño), he might capture his country's soul and inspire his fellow citizens to remember the ties that bind them. Through music, the populace might come together, lay down their arms, and embrace a harmonious and unified Peruvian culture. Both a send-up of parochial idealism and a love song to the culture of his homeland, Mario Vargas Llosa's I Give You My Silence is the moving final novel of the Peruvian Nobel Prize winner, whose enduring works captured a changing Latin America. The tragic hero Toño and his belief in a democratic, proletarian music at odds with the culture and politics of a modern Peru scarred by violence is the writer's last statement on the revelatory, maddening, foolhardy, yet irrepressible conviction that art has profound transformative power.

LONGLISTED FOR THE STELLA PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE ABIA LITERARY FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 'A complex heroine who wrestles with the demands of faith, lust and ambition... A forceful wonder' The Times, Historical Fiction Book of the Month 'A gripping, gorgeous story of faith and feminism... A rapturous read' Daily Mail 'A spectacular story of shape-shifting, love and faith . . . It enthralled me' Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist 'Astonishing . . . a scorching vision of a book' Charlotte Wood, Booker-shortlisted author of Stone Yard Devotional 'A fierce, sexy, heady maelstrom of a book.

Agnes is the motherless child of an English priest - a wild and brilliant girl with a deep, visceral love of God. But when tragedy strikes, she is suddenly forced to choose between what is expected of her and the life she has always dreamed of. Determined to find her own freedom, she disguises herself as a man, securing a place at the revered Fulda monastery and forever altering the course of her existence. Thus begins the life of John the Englishman: a matchless scholar and scribe of Fulda, then a charismatic heretic in an Athens commune and, by her middle years, a celebrated teacher in Rome. There, she dazzles the Church hierarchy with her knowledge of the old and new languages of Europe, theology and Church law, and finds herself at the heart of political intrigue in a city where gossip is a powerful - and deadly - currency. And when the only person who knows her identity arrives in Rome, she will risk everything to once again feel what it is to be known - and loved.

A fierce, feminist, sexy retelling of the life of the first and only female pope

Best friends Benny and Joy host a beloved 'comedy survival' podcast, gleefully finding life-affirming humour in near-death experiences. When Benny arrives at Joy and her husband's home one morning to record, he finds shattered glass and an empty house.

If Benny wants to find Joy in time, and clear his own name, he'll have to solve the highest stakes survival story yet.

This Story Might Save Your Life

From USA Today bestselling author Jeneane O'Riley comes the first in a series of deliciously dark and whimsical standalone romances.Some secrets were never meant to be unearthed. Perched on a windswept cliff, Blackwood Manor looms like a dark monument to a mysterious family. Behind its grand iron gates, one part of the estate has been left to rot since the tragic death of Hester Blackwood: the once-glorious conservatory, now choked by vines and shattered glass. The rest of the family is gone--only her brooding son, Jasper, remains, the heir to a weapons empire. Desperate to save her job and out of options, botanist Eliza Arnold makes a bold gamble--drive to the manor and beg the elusive millionaire for a donation. Jasper agrees...on one chilling condition: restore the conservatory. Alone. No help. No leaving. But the manor is not empty. As Eliza battles thorns and secrets, a magnetic tension builds between her and Jasper--dark, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. And something else stirs among the roots and ruins...whispers in the walls, confusing disturbances, and a presence watching her every move. The deeper Eliza digs, the more she uncovers a garden of grief, longing...and desire. Because in Blackwood Manor, even buried things can bloom again.

A Secret in the Garden (Deluxe Edition)

lllusion, Macht, Geheimnis: ¿Magus¿ lässt Realitäten verschwimmen, ein literarisches Vexierspiel aus Rätseln und philosophischen Fragen. 

 Der junge Engländer, Nicholas Urfe, ist des Lebens überdrüssig und verlässt sein langweiliges Leben in England. In der Hoffnung, dass seine Dämonen sich in der Sonne besser unter Kontrolle halten lassen, nimmt er einen Lehrauftrag auf einer abgelegenen griechischen Insel an. Als die Dunkelheit ihn auch dorthin verfolgt, schließt er eine Freundschaft mit einem zurückgezogenen Millionär. Schon bald findet er sich als Schachfigur im tödlichen Spiel dieses Tricksers aus Gewalt, Verführung und Verrat wieder. Je tiefer Nicholas in die psychologischen Fallen des Magus hineingezogen wird, desto schwerer fällt es, Vergangenheit von Gegenwart und Fantasie von Realität zu unterscheiden.
Ein Werk reich an Symbolen, Rätseln und labyrinthischen Wendungen, gilt der Magus als der magischste Roman im Fowles-Kanon.

One Leg on Earth

Liebe. Unsterblichkeit. Flucht. Weltende: Ein Roman aus der Zukunft über die Gegenwart. 

 Oswalth Kerzenrauch, genannt ¿der Gräber¿, stirbt nicht. Und so überlebt er alle, die er je geliebt hat, auch seine Tochter Luzie, die er bis ins hohe Alter begleitet. Die Wirren des dritten Weltkrieges hat er ebenso durchstanden wie die endgültige Zerstörung der Flora und Fauna. Als die letzten Erdenbewohner den&nbsp;unwirtlichen Planeten in Richtung Nektar II verlassen,&nbsp;bleibt er mit einer kleinen Gruppe Verbündeter, die ihre Ruhe vor einer Gesellschaft, die sie nie wollte, nun in wahnwitziger Ekstase feiern, in den Ruinen&nbsp;Berlins&nbsp;zurück.
 

 In einer Welt nach der Menschheit entsteht dort in den Trümmern eine widersprüchliche Idylle. Je einsamer er wird, desto mehr verliert er sich in seinen schönsten und in seinen furchtbarsten Erinnerungen. Was aber bedeutet das Weltende für einen, der verdammt ist, es zu überdauern?
 

 Hendrik Otrembas vierter Roman erzählt kontrastreich die Geschichte eines einfachen Mannes, der in unserer Epoche geboren und in der Unendlichkeit gestrandet ist. Er weiß von der Liebe zum Leben und zu den Menschen, aber auch vom Schrecken der Zivilisation - und stellt angesichts deren Endes die Frage, was von uns übrig bleibt, wenn niemand mehr da ist, sich an uns zu erinnern.
 

 Zwischen herzerschütternden Erinnerungen an vergangene Lieben und nervenaufreibenden Schilderungen des politischen, sozialen, ökologischen Untergangs, gelingt Hendrik Otremba Unerhörtes: Er findet eine Sprache für eine Zukunft, die wir nicht einmal denken können, ein Vokabular für das Post-Anthropozän.

Der Gräber

To have and to hold, to lie and to kill... Meet Daisy Dixon. She loves sewing, antiques, and watching murder mysteries. Oh, and plotting to kill her husband. Meet James Dixon. He's mega-rich, mega-successful, and completely missing a conscience. On the way back from a party, the Dixons hit a man with their car. There's only one thing for it, and that's to bury him in the grounds of their manor house, Langley Hall. All is going well, until the day that the rain washes up more than it's supposed to... and suddenly, the Dixons are suspects. As Daisy and James battle it out to be the not-guilty party, Daisy starts working on a plot of her own... after all, it wouldn't be the first time, would it? All's fair in love and war, especially in this marriage.

A wickedly funny and darkly compelling thriller from a fresh new voice in crime

Mr & Mrs Dixon Hide A Body

"An astounding achievement." --Megha Majumdar, bestselling author of A Burning "Her best book yet." --Paul Yoon, award-winning author of Run Me to Earth From the bestselling author of Mary Coin comes a rich family saga set in midcentury America centered on two fierce and competitive matriarchs whose intertwined lives reflect the complexities of family, tradition, and personal ambition, told with "Silver's signature combination of toughness and grace" (Laird Hunt, bestselling author of Zorrie).Helene Simonauer and Evelyn Turner are two formidable women whose paths cross when their children marry. Both women are sharp, cunning, and unwavering in their conflicting beliefs about marriage, responsibility, and family and, most pressingly, their efforts to vie for the love of their shared granddaughter. Weaving together the lives of Helene and Evelyn--from their vastly different childhoods through the pivotal events that define them--At Last paints a vivid portrait of the American Midwest, capturing the essence of a time and place where societal norms and personal aspirations often clashed. Both intimate and expansive while capturing the complexities of ambition and love with humor and insight, At Last is a testament to what happens when an unintended, even unwanted relationship turns out to be a central one that defines a life.

At Last

Ariane und Sam versuchen seit ihrer Kindheit gemeinsam, ihren Platz in einer unwirtlichen Stadt zu finden. Die Wohnungslosigkeit hat ein solches Ausmaß angenommen, dass viele Menschen - auch solche, die Arbeit haben - auf die stark begrenzten öffentlichen Schlafräume der Stadt zurückgreifen müssen.
 

 Nur wenige können sich eine Übernachtung in privaten Schlafhotels leisten. Eigene Wohnungen sind der Elite vorbehalten. Da Sam auf der ID-Karte nicht zu erkennen ist, auf der obendrein nur zwei Geschlechter zur Verfügung stehen, sind den beiden fast alle Türen versperrt. Sie verbringen ihre Nächte also in Bussen und finden Schlaf, während sie durch die Stadt gefahren werden. Tagsüber führt Ariane ein von außen betrachtet normales Leben und hat einen Büro-Job, den sie zwar verabscheut, der den beiden aber immerhin ein geringes Maß an Sicherheit garantiert.
 

 Eines Tages findet Sam eine Unterkunft bei Menschen, denen es gelingt, am System vorbeizuleben, und Ariane bleibt allein zurück. Sie beginnt, ihr spärliches Erspartes für temporäre Zimmer auszugeben und lebt weit über ihren Verhältnissen, flüchtet sich von einer Übergangssituation in die nächste. Schließlich kündigt sie ihren Job, wird Kindermädchen bei einer reichen Familie, folgt auf ihrer Suche anderen in ihre Häuser und Betten und versucht einen Ort zu finden, an dem sie bleiben kann und will - getrieben von einem Hunger auf das Leben, der ihr Angst und Hoffnung zugleich macht.
