I roll the wheel of the lighter with my thumb and hold the flame above the wick. ![]() I became a lot like her and a little bit like me. ![]() You can spend your whole life swimming against it and eventually you’ll get tired and the current of genes and upbringing will pull you under. But the truth is that the heart’s desire is a mere current against the tide of nurture and nature. I had big plans to be anything but my mother: to be loved, to be successful, to make beautiful children. I used to think her shallow, back when my ideals were untainted by reality. No one tries that hard to keep their husband unless they’ve already lost him. ![]() She had a subscription to every glossy fashion magazine you could name and collected books on how to keep your husband. Every six weeks a doctor slid a needle into her forehead, pumping thirty cc’s of Botox into her dermis. My mother once told me that under the flickering light of a candle flame, a woman can almost look ten years younger. Do they make you think of my clit? Good! To the right of the vaginal flowers sit two white candles in silver candlestick holders. I chose them for their sexual innuendo because when you’re in a position like mine, being on top of your sexual game is of the utmost importance. I almost knock over the vase of flowers as I place a fork next to a plate: a bouquet of the palest pink roses. ![]() ![]() ![]() She received a Master's in Special Education from Montana State University Billings in 1975 and went on to the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis where she studied for a doctorate in educational psychology.

I was at a perilous age when I committed my crime. Without a doubt, had the dictionary not arrived, this light word that lay so heavily upon me would have crushed me, or what was left of me after the strangeness of what I'd done. So the word with its yawning c, belligerent little e's, with its hissing sibilants and double n's, this repetitive bummer of a word made of slyly stabbing letters that surrounded an isolate human t, this word was in my thoughts every moment of every day. The first word I looked up was the word 'sentence.' I had received an impossible sentence of sixty years from the lips of a judge who believed in an after- life. ![]() But as she had known, this one proved of endless use. Other books were to arrive from my teacher. This is the book I would take to a deserted island. The novel's narrative present spans the year between November 2019 to November 2020. The novel is set in Minneapolis, Minnesota. While in prison, I received a dictionary.

Unknown: 1:01 And I can't wait for the audio version of The Delicate Things We Make. ![]() The audio book for The Headmistress is perfection. I would have never thought but it's been quite funny and quite sweet. Seriously this issue has become so controversial. Milena: 0:35Īnd thank you for the kindest words Laura: 0:37Īnd getting your name right. And she happens to be one of the nicest people in our community. And I was pleasantly surprised when she said yes. ![]() She was also the first author I asked late last year to do an interview for my new blog. My guest today took the lesfic world by storm last year with the release of the delicate things we make the novella, the perfect match, and my favorite book of 2021. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Heartburn is a roller coaster of love, betrayal, loss and - most satisfyingly - revenge. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel is a cookery writer, and between trying to win Mark back and wishing him dead, she offers us some of her favourite recipes. The fact that this woman has a 'neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb' is no consolation. Heartburn is the perfect, bittersweet, sobbingly funny, all-too-true confessional novel' Nigella Lawson Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel discovers that her husband is in love with another woman. 'I have bought more copies of this book to give to people, in a frenzy of enthusiasm, than any other. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Irene’s Wish is about a little girl whose Papa is so good at making things grow that he is constantly being asked to help their neighbours – but that means he’s kept too busy to play with Irene and her brother Jimmy. Her book In My Momma’s Kitchen, on the other hand, is inspired by her own childhood and her powerful chapter-book Eliza’s Freedom Road chronicles a young slave’s escape to freedom in 1854, from Virginia all the way to Canada, helped on her way by the stories her mother had told her and the symbols on the quilt she had left her. ![]() Award-winning author Jerdine Nolen‘s picture books often tell stories that blend fantasy and realism in an unsettling way that delights young readers and fires their imaginations, from her first book Harvey Potter’s Balloon Farm, which was made into a ‘Wonderful World of Disney’ television film, right up to her latest story, Irene’s Wish. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like so many who've suffered the pain of losing someone, Lowry considered - just passingly - how much better our existences might be if we didn't have memories at all. "And he said, 'Whatever happened to her?' And I had to tell him about her death." "And he said, 'I can't remember her name,' and I told him her name," she says. One day, she showed her father a photo of her sister, who died at the age of 28. "He didn't have Alzheimer's, but he began to lose pieces of his memory, the way people do as they age," she recalls. Lowry came up with the idea of a scary, sterile world where nearly everyone takes drugs to suppress their memories and emotions after her father was put in a nursing home. It's assigned reading in thousands of schools. The Giver swept up nearly every prestigious prize for young adult literature, including the Newbery Medal and the William Allen White Award. The movie adaptation opened this week and stars Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges. ![]() Refreshing, right? But it's also a world without memory, at least in the premise of Lois Lowry's 1993 novel The Giver. Just for a second, imagine a world without war, conflict or grief. ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

Newfoundland is a country of coast and cove where the mercury rarely rises above seventy degrees, the local culinary delicacy is cod cheeks, and it's easier to travel by boat and snowmobile than on anything with wheels. Here, on desolate Quoyle's Point, in a house empty except for a few mementos of the family's unsavory past, the battered members of three generations try to cobble up new lives. An aunt convinces Quoyle and his two emotionally disturbed daughters to return with her to the starkly beautiful coastal landscape of their ancestral home in Newfoundland. Quoyle, a third-rate newspaper hack, with a "head shaped like a crenshaw, no neck, reddish hair.features as bunched as kissed fingertips," is wrenched violently out of his workaday life when his two-timing wife meets her just desserts. ![]() ![]() Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Annie Proulx's The Shipping News is a vigorous, darkly comic, and at times magical portrait of the contemporary North American family. ![]() ![]() A couple kisses and cuddles, infrequently and mostly offscreen, and there are vague references to past romantic dalliances.
