until she finds a new reason to question her sanity and all she holds dear. Slowly, she begins to feel more "normal" than she ever has as part of the popular crowd. Sam is drawn to them immediately, especially a guitar-playing guy with a talent for verse, and starts to discover a whole new side of herself. So when Sam meets Caroline, she has to keep her new friend with a refreshing sense of humor and no style a secret, right up there with Sam's weekly visits to her psychiatrist.Ĭaroline introduces Sam to Poet's Corner, a hidden room and a tight-knit group of misfits who have been ignored by the school at large. Yet Sam knows she'd be truly crazy to leave the protection of the most popular girls in school. Second-guessing every move, thought, and word makes daily life a struggle, and it doesn't help that her lifelong friends will turn toxic at the first sign of a wrong outfit, wrong lunch, or wrong crush. But hidden beneath the straightened hair and expertly applied makeup is a secret that her friends would never understand: Sam has Purely-Obsessional OCD and is consumed by a stream of dark thoughts and worries that she can't turn off. Samantha McAllister looks just like the rest of the popular girls in her junior class. If you could read my mind, you wouldn't be smiling.

Helping her along is a gruff and grumpy sorcerer type named Aruendiel-he wouldn’t be a sorcerer without a Welsh name, after all-who, though “a man of strong passions,” as another denizen of the back of beyond puts it, can’t be moved to make it a friends-with-benefits relationship. Now Nora’s got other things to worry about, like how not to turn into stone (“cream colored stone. No sooner are the words out than she is swept away by a handsome-well, prince, maybe, certainly VIP in this behind-the-mirror world-man (man?) who is very much something other than what he seems to be. Though she has magically become more beautiful, she fails to attract the physical yearnings of Oscar Wilde, though she exchanges some good words with him all the same-and, he reminds her, “appearances are the only true reality.” Hmmm. Neither is Nora a slouch when, quite by happenstance it would seem, she wanders through a mysterious portal into the otherworld. Nora Fischer is a brilliant literary scholar, “one of the best close readers of poetry I’ve ever worked with,” as her dissertation director tells her before dropping the big old but on her: but she doesn’t deal with big questions, with postmodernism or subalternity or dialogic hegemony or.well, Nora gets the picture. Debut novelist Barker turns in a pleasant if largely predictable fantasy yarn. A story of Sedna the Sea Goddess, for example, provides a counterpoint for references to the seismic testing that began in Nunavut in the 1970s. In much the same way, by moving seamlessly between traditional stories and the central narrative, Tagaq effectively frees readers from the shackles of reality. Tagaq instead foregrounds the inherent timelessness of a place that seasonally cycles between 24-hour day and perpetual night: “Life pops forth brightly and death is a soft exhalation … not so much living and dying as glowing and darkening.” This view of time as cyclical rather than linear is key to the story and is alternately grounding and disorienting. On its most straightforward level, it tells the story of an unnamed adolescent girl growing up in Nunavut in the 1970s, although this time frame is communicated only through subtle clues. To unpack Split Tooth’s labyrinthine structure in a single review is a challenge. Formally identified as fiction, it is in fact a thick braid of lived experience, philosophy, poetry, and traditional knowledge. It’s no surprise, then, that Split Tooth, Tagaq’s literary debut, defies categorization. An Inuk artist from Iqaluktuutiaq, Tagaq’s performances are innovative and face-meltingly intense, and she has collaborated with a wide array of music’s weird geniuses from Björk to the Kronos Quartet. As a vocalist and composer, Tanya Tagaq cares little for conventional rules of engagement. She was Clyde-built, by Scott’s of Greenock, as a merchant ship. The sign on the side is a Royal endorsement: Queen Victoria and Prince Edward visited it twice. Iceberg exterior, Royal Naval Exhibition of 1891 in London. There are two polar bears prowling above the entrance. The Investigator panorama was built inside a structure designed to look like an iceberg. This dramatic moment was recreated with scale models at t he 1891 Royal Naval Expedition, and a photograph of it was later sold as a magic lantern slide: Investigator was abandoned in Mercy Bay, Banks Island, on 3rd June 1853. Were it not for Lieutenant Bedford Pim of HMS Resolute, more than 60 officers and men would probably have died, and the ship herself may never have been found. The story of HMS Investigator was very nearly a tragedy on the scale of the Franklin Expedition it had been sent to find. (New England, surprisingly, did not after the Battle of Bunker Hill, it was pretty much spared.) New Jersey, South Carolina, New York, and Philadelphia suffered most from warfare. Where fighting took place, of course, congregations were disrupted and some people killed. In some areas, like New York, Boston, and some places in the South, arguments between loyalists and patriots split congregations. Believers’ energy went toward the war effort, not toward building up the local church. Mark Noll: In general, the war hurt religious practice even though prominent patriot Christians lent moral and religious support for the war. Did this religious atmosphere boost people’s devotion? For example, did more people start going to church after July 4, 1776? He is the author of many books, including A History of Christianity in the United States and Canada (Eerdmans, 1992) and Christians in the American Revolution (Eerdmans, 1977).Ĭhristian History: In the 1760s and 1770s, Christian faith infused the cause of independence with religious meaning and helped justify war with Britain. Now we turn to the next question, How did the war influence the American church? And where do we see its impact still today? To help us think about these questions, Christian History spoke with Mark Noll, professor of history at Wheaton College (Illinois). In this issue, we’ve looked at how Christianity influenced the Revolutionary War. Juliette doesn’t want to use her touch to hurt anyone, especially not traitors to The Reestablishment, so Adam, her cellmate, helps her escape. He eventually reveals that he’s working for The Reestablishment, and then introduces her to Warner, the son of the Supreme Commander, who has come to free her so that she can use her touch to punish traitors to The Reestablishment. Juliette has been kept in an asylum’s solitary confinement cell for almost a year because of her touch, until she’s given a cellmate who’s immune to it. A group called The Reestablishment endeavors to control all of them, and wants to do so by wiping out all languages but one, all religions, everything that divides humankind up. This is in a far-future America where everyone’s all but killed everyone else off, and what’s left of humanity on this continent has organized itself into 50 independently-governed sectors. The main character, Juliette Ferrars, has a lethal touch. To tell you that, I have to tell you a little bit about what the previous three books are about, so this section will have some spoilers. When Falco and Anacrites arrive at the Palace to report to the Emperor, Falco runs into the Senator Decimus Camillus Verus and his daughter, Helena Justina. Anacrites and Momus are also involved with this. In his position as imperial agent, Falco is involved with the tidying of the conspiracy (The Silver Pigs) and the emptying of the traitor's house. Secrecy is paramount because he was the victim of a discreet execution, having been guilty of treason against the Emperor. Marcus Didius Falco and a group of the Praetorian Guard under the captaincy of Julius Frontinus are disposing of a decomposing corpse. The story begins in Rome during late spring, AD 71. The bronze of the title is a statue of a young Helena Justina, Falco's romantic interest. Set in Rome, southern Italy, and the Bay of Neapolis during AD 71, just after the year of the four emperors, the novel stars Marcus Didius Falco, informer and imperial agent. Shadows in Bronze is a 1990 historical mystery crime novel by Lindsey Davis and the second book of the Marcus Didius Falco Mysteries series. |
