The only memories of him she has is a box of things he left behind, ranging from his favorite cinnamon gum to her mom’s engagement ring that came from a vending machine. Her father has been out of the picture since she was 8 years old, abruptly fleeing to Greece in pursuit of his lifelong passion of finding the lost city of Atlantis. Liv’s memories of him are not exactly pleasant. He asks her to come to Santorini to help with a documentary on the sunken city of Atlantis. The story follows Liv Varanakis after receiving a postcard from her absent, treasure-hunting father. The fluffy, sweet romance in this story takes a backseat, for what this story is really about is a young woman learning to reconnect with an absent father, and deciding how to move forward, forgive, and be free from the pain of the past. What I wasn’t prepared for was its mature theme. I wish I could hop on a plane right now to Santorini. Honestly, I wasn’t totally wrong, the setting is absolutely jaw-dropping. When I first cracked open Love & Olives, I was fully prepared for a swoony, saccharine love story that would make travel Instagrammers weep with jealousy. With that ability, he works as a perfume maker in a small perfume shop in Bekasi that sell fake perfume. That’s why people called him Rat Nose (Hidung Tikus). Jati Wesi, a guy who grew up in Bantar Gebang, the largest landfill site in Indonesia (and perhaps is the smelliest place on earth), has a very great sense and ability to smell beyond normal people. I mean, how can someone do that? Then I realized if there is one person who could do it, it must be Dee Lestari. She is a very imaginative writer and this time she came up with an unusual theme which made me very curious. Two years after finishing the Supernova Series, Dee came back and ‘gave birth’ to her 12 th book, a 710 pages book, Aroma Karsa.Īs a die hard fan of Dee Lestari, I was so excited when she announced the news about her new book.

Louise & Mark were a pleasure to work with and the individual portraits and their portraits together went very well and the shoot lasted just 45 minutes.

Having always disliked shifter politics, Trey Coleman hadn’t bothered trying to form alliances with other packs. Okay, she has no options.īasically it comes down to whether she’ll do what it takes to escape the arranged mating with the sick SOB that her father set up.Īs the answer in this case is yes, it looks as though she’ll have to agree to Trey Coleman’s deal… she’ll have to mate with him instead. Unfortunately, Taryn Warner, a latent wolf shifter, doesn’t have many options open to her right now. If your inner wolf and your body react rather enthusiastically to a psychotic Alpha male who’s own wolf has a tendency to turn feral, it can’t be a good thing, can it?Įntering into a bargain with him wouldn’t be good either. The author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Blind Assassin presents a cycle of stories about Penelope, wife of Odysseus, through the eyes of the twelve maids hanged for disloyalty to Odysseus in his absence. I've always been haunted by the hanged maids and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself. The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus, which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of the Odyssey: What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in the Odyssey doesn't hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. Margaret Atwood’s Penelopiad is a sharp, brilliant and tender revision of a story at the heart of our culture: the myths about Penelope and Odysseus. I've chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids. I have drawn on material other than the Odyssey, especially for the details of Penelope's parentage, her early life and marriage, and the scandalous rumors circulating about her. Mythic material was originally oral, and also local - a myth would be told one way in one place and quite differently in another. Homer's Odyssey is not the only version of the story. He spent four years touring and recording with the band through the late 1980s and into the early 1990s before leaving to take up full-time education at Newcastle University. His first ambition was to be a professional musician and he achieved this while playing bass guitar with Newcastle-based band "The Honest Johns". Both of these plays have displayed Straughan's talent for writing dark, twisted and witty stories. Whilst there, Live staged his plays, Bones and Noir. He was writer-in-residence at Newcastle's Live Theatre Company. Peter Straughan (born 1968) is a playwright and author, based in the north-east of England.

DeMille to Ridley Scott's Gladiator-will instantly recognize their origins in sets and costumes Alma- Tadema invented. Anyone who has ever enjoyed the great epic films of antiquity-from Italian silent classics and Cecil B. Lawrence Alma-Tadema's paintings were immensely popular among his contemporaries, and have since enchanted a wide audience through the medium of cinema. This important re-evaluation of the Dutch-born painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema traces his personal and artistic journey towards international fame and success in London and investigates how this exceptionally creative artist used his own houses and studios as laboratories to produce vivid paintings of life in ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. In this beautifully designed book, illustrated with sketches and original artwork, and featuring examples spanning from Greece to Hong Kong, Rome to San Francisco, Ireland to Israel and more, Sasek’s best-known works come alive alongside lesser-known aspects of his practice, such as painting and puppet-making. The artist’s charming travelogues continue to appeal to adults and children alike, even in a digital age exploding with travel imagery. With great insight, acclaimed author Martin Salisbury analyses Sasek’s multifarious oeuvre, and how he became one of the twentieth century’s most beloved and significant contributors to the world of picture books. A witty collection of travel guides for children, the books employ an avant-garde synthesis of word and image that captures the joyous idiosyncrasies of life and culture in cities and countries around the world.
