Summary

Two lovers transcend space and time, life, and death in this wildly inventive novella from a Romantic Times Lifetime Achievement Award–winning author.   Emily Larchmont is on a voyage back from England to her home in the States. The young widow hopes to start anew. She’ll be helped along the way by the dashing Jonathan Webb, who is all too eager for Emily to cast off her mourning dress and learn to love life once more. But after a storm sinks the ship, Emily fears she has lost Jonathan forever.   Back home, adjusting to her new life, Emily attends a party where Jonathan shows up, hale and hearty. But is it really him? Or is it someone from beyond the stars? Either way, a passion has been ignited between the two that will leave them both changed forever.   “One of the finest and most gifted writers. A master storyteller!” —Romantic Times

    Marcus Aurelius

    Written in Greek, without any intention of publication, by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) offer a remarkable series of challenging spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe.  
    Ranging from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the nature of moral virtue, human rationality, divine providence, and Marcus' own emotions.  
    But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, in developing his beliefs Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection of extended meditations and short aphorisms that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers through the centuries.

    A memory-eating, closet-dwelling beast escapes its confines; a Somali girl in a Donegal school is tougher than she seems; under a jasmine tree in Andalucía a woman waits for her stolen son; at the edge of a city, two brothers step unwittingly into a game that turns deadly. The scope and diversity of these stories knows no bounds, sitting somewhere between the real and imaginary.
    Wild Quiet contains a world viewed from unexpected angles, where the ordinary is rendered extraordinary and the extraordinary sublime. These are stories woven with compassion and humour, announcing the arrival of a fresh new voice in Irish literature.
    In this astonishingly innovative and bold collection, Roisín O'Donnell examines the hurts and triumphs of being human, and the wild, quiet moments that approach something like grace.
