Sinopsis

Jeremy Cooper, the author of Brian, returns with Discord, a subjective journey through the world of classical music. On a night in August, an audience at the Royal Albert Hall attends the first ever concert of Distant Voices. The Proms performance is the culmination of a year's work between the middle-aged composer Rebekah Rosen and the young star-saxophonist Evie Bennet. Alternating between both perspectives, Discord charts the course of their intense and at times fractious relationship, the resonances and dissonances both women find within one another, as well as the struggles and satisfactions that accompany an artistic life. At the heart of the novel is an inquiry into the generative force behind creative collaboration. In what ways does the inexpressible – that amorphous space of friction and unity between musicians – become indelible? And by what process do flawed individuals create works of transcendence? Deeply insightful, at turns poignant and wry, Discord affirms Jeremy Cooper's status as one of the most interesting fiction writers at work today.

    A Study in Scarlet is an 1887 detective novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle. The story marks the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who would become the most famous detective duo in popular fiction. The book's title derives from a speech given by Holmes, a consulting detective, to his friend and chronicler Watson on the nature of his work, in which he describes the story's murder investigation as his "study in scarlet": "There's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colorless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it." 
     
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction. Over 125 years after his creation, Sherlock Holmes remains the most popular fictional detective in history. Arthur Conan Doyle is best known for the 60 stories he wrote about Sherlock Holmes. His body of work includes nearly 200 novels, short stories, poems, historical books, and pamphlets.

    Giants' Bread Book II - Nell -...

    Book II: Nell carries Giants' Bread from childhood memory into the restless intensity of young adulthood. Vernon Deyre has moved beyond the protected world of Abbots Puissants and into a wider society of artists, friends, expectations, and romantic possibility. His genius is still unformed, but the pressure of it is already alive within him, pulling him away from ordinary happiness and toward a future he does not yet understand. 
    At the center of this volume is Nell, bright, alluring, and emotionally vital. Through her, Vernon discovers the force of romantic love and the ache of wanting to be both wholly known and wholly free. Their relationship is tender, uncertain, and marked by the invisible rival that stands between Vernon and everyone who loves him: music. He longs for domestic joy, yet he is haunted by a calling that no person can fully satisfy. 
    Sebastian Levinne remains a sharp and loyal presence, moving through London society with ambition, irony, and a growing instinct for power. Around Vernon gathers a world of talk, performance, artistic experiment, and social judgment. Every conversation seems to test what he is becoming. Every attachment asks whether love can survive the hunger of genius. 
    Nell is a volume of romance and suspense in the emotional sense: the suspense of a heart divided, of talent still concealed, of a life approaching its decisive break. Agatha Christie, writing with the psychological insight of Mary Westmacott, gives listeners a portrait of youth in which tenderness and ambition are never simple. For anyone drawn to literary romance, artistic obsession, and the cost of becoming extraordinary, Book II is a deeply compelling continuation.
