Sinopsis

In 'The Trawler' by James B. Connolly, the reader is immersed in a vivid depiction of life on a fishing trawler in the early 20th century. The novel beautifully captures the harsh realities of life at sea, the camaraderie among the crew members, and the dangers they face on a daily basis. Connolly's writing style is both descriptive and atmospheric, allowing the reader to feel as though they are right there on the deck of the boat. The novel's introspective tone and insightful character portrayals make it a compelling and thought-provoking read within the context of maritime literature. Connolly's attention to detail and ability to convey the emotional complexities of his characters set 'The Trawler' apart from other works of its time. James B. Connolly, a former sailor himself, brings a unique perspective to the narrative, drawing from his own experiences at sea to craft a story that feels authentic and heartfelt. His deep understanding of the maritime world shines through in every page, making 'The Trawler' a must-read for anyone interested in maritime fiction or historical literature.

In the stories of Mad Hope, Journey Prize winner Heather Birrell finds the heart of her characters and lets them lead us into worlds both recognizable and alarming. A science teacher and former doctor is forced to re-examine the role he played in CeauÅ?escu’s Romania after a student makes a shocking request; a tragic plane crash becomes the basis for a meditation on motherhood and its discontents; women in an online chat group share (and overshare) their anxieties and personal histories; and a chance encounter in a waiting room tests the ties that bind us. Using precise, inventive language, Birrell creates astute and empathetic portraits of people we thought we knew – and deftly captures the lovely, maddening mess of being human.
