The Regiment That Lost Its Soul

Malcolm Archibald

Sinossi

Returning from Dunkirk, Lieutenant Douglas Tulloch and the Lothian Rifles help defend Britain from the threat of German invasion.
 
Tulloch feels that all is not right with the battalion. When the Lothians are sent to Egypt to prepare for an Italian attack, others share Tulloch’s view, as Brigadier Worthington criticises the battalion’s performance in battle.
 
The Lothians share in O’Connor’s victorious advance in Operation Compass, but are sent to Eritrea in early 1941. Can they overcome the malaise that seems to have followed them from Dunkirk, or will the Italian defence of Keren be one battle too many?
 
THE REGIMENT THAT LOST ITS SOUL is the second book in 'Tulloch at War', a series of historical war novels by Malcolm Archibald.

Gifts in Brown Paper Packages

S.P. Brown

Should she take the leap through the window into the unknown? Seventeen-year-old Kyrie had no idea if she could survive it, but the notion of staying was much less appealing than the risks of the streets. A bullet that finds a fleeing target in the night, a baby held out of a high-rise window, and squatting in a rodent-infested apartment are just some of the experiences within Kyrie’s family dynamic perpetrated by her father’s actions and enabled by her mother’s acquiescence.Gifts in Brown Paper Packages (Gifts) is a coming-of-age story commencing the night New York City teenager Kyrie Graves impulsively flees the verbal and physical abuse prevalent in her childhood home to tackle life and adulthood with no plan except survival. The night that Kyrie decides to exit her bedroom window one final time changes the course of her life.Gifts is a story of a young girl’s survival driven by strength, personal growth, a journey to self-awareness, and ultimately acknowledging her truth.

Acceptance of her story and how it shapes her enables Kyrie to embrace the lessons, i.e., gifts, that strife and challenges offer despite their unpalatable aspects. Kyrie reveals her struggles, fears, and growth through this tale while displaying the perseverance that births her power and voice. Ultimately, Kyrie recognizes and accepts all the gifts, even the ones that come wrapped in brown paper packages!

Prelude

Katherine Mansfield

"Prelude" is a short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published by the Hogarth Press in July 1918, after Virginia Woolf encouraged her to finish the story. Mansfield had begun writing "Prelude" in the midst of a love affair she had in Paris in 1915. It was reprinted in Bliss and Other Stories (1920). The story was a compressed and subtler version of a longer work The Aloe, which was later published posthumously in full.
The story is based on the Beauchamps' move to Karori, a country suburb of Wellington, in 1893. Alpers says that some readers may not pick up the numerous hints that Linda is pregnant.
