Sad Tiger

Neige Sinno

Sad Tiger is built on the facts of a series of devastating events. Neige Sinno was seven years old when her stepfather started sexually abusing her. At nineteen, she decided to break the silence that is so common in all cultures around sexual violence. This led to a public trial and prison for her stepfather and Sinno started a new life in Mexico. 
 
 
 
Through the construction of a fragmented narrative, Sinno explores the different facets of memory—her own, her mother's, as well as her abusive stepfather's; and of abuse itself in all its monstrosity and banality. Her account is woven together with a close reading of literary works by Vladimir Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Christine Angot, and Virginie Despentes among others. 
 
 
 
Sad Tiger—the title inspired by William Blake's poem "The Tyger"—is a literary exploration into how to speak about the unspeakable. In this extraordinary book there is an abiding concern: how to protect others from what the author herself endured? In the midst of so much darkness, an answer reads crystal clear: by speaking up and asking questions. A striking, shocking, and necessary masterpiece. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

As the Crow Flies - From their...

John Davys Beresford

John Davys Beresford was born on 17th March 1873.  His life was blighted by infantile paralysis which left him partially disabled. 
After an education at Oundle school he trained to be an architect.  However, he quickly decided that his life was to be centred on a literary career.  His first offerings were in drama and as a journalist. 
As well as being a book reviewer for the Manchester Guardian he contributed to New Statesman, The Spectator, Westminster Gazette, and the Theosophist magazine The Aryan Path.   
His spiritual journey in early adulthood had claimed him as an agnostic, in defiance of his clergyman father.  This view he later abandoned in preference to describing himself as a Theosophist and a pacifist. 
As well as many novels, many themed with spiritual and philosophical elements.  Beresford was also a gifted short story writer particularly across the science-fiction, horror and ghost genres. 
All of these elements helped him to obtain a prominent place in Edwardian Literary London. 
John Davys Beresford died on the 2nd February 1947. He was 73.

Betty: The Dancer - A Dance With...

Warwick Collins

At the touch of emotion, the "Dance with Destiny" becomes one of the greatest timeless biographical novel. 
Real or not real? Real, this incredible story is true and its dramatic twists and turns go far beyond anything we could imagine. For those who love with soul there is no such thing as separation. 
The Second World War story of the passionate and tragic affair between Betty Bjurström, the beautiful, famous dancer, and Renato Senise, film producer and Allied intelligence agent, has taken on an almost mythical dimension. 
Like all myths, it is based on conflicting accounts and anecdotes. Accordingly, it would be almost impossible to untangle the final facts in Renato’s complex life — it is an almost novelistic attempt to portray two remarkable characters whose feelings for one another were perhaps too much to bear. 
Enjoyable reading as living through the passions and adventures of the leading characters as they are drawn into “A Dance with Destiny”.
