«Some critics have been good enough to call ’The Money Master’ a beautiful book, and there are many who said that it was real, true, and faithful. Personally I think it is real and true, and as time goes on, and we get older, that is what seems to matter to those who love life and wish to see it well harvested».
Aging is hard, but watching those you love get older isn't much easier. Everything Is a Little Broken invites listeners to both laugh and cry at some of the painful, heart-wrenching and absurd moments Mira Cayne and her father, Matt Frank, experience as age and infirmity begin to take their toll. Their story will be instantly recognizable to the 41 million Americans caring for older adults in their lives. Matt has always been Mira's hero and her rock, but he isn't bouncing back easily from his second spinal cord surgery at the age of 79. As he grows increasingly fragile, Mira looks for ways to revive his spirit, and her own. Luckily, her father is still impossibly stubborn, and can take a good wheelchair joke. Laughing at what life is doing to his dignity seems to be the only medicine with any healing power, for both father and daughter. Faced with nothing but time during the COVID-19 lockdown, Rebecca Sugar chose the vehicle of fiction in order to express universal truths about the challenges she was facing with her own father. Together they have laughed about everything from neuropathy to nurses to hearing aids. It helps to remember that everything is a little broken.Ver livro

DC-based Texas writer Elizabeth Bruce’s debut novel, AND SILENT LEFT THE PLACE, won Washington Writers' Publishing House's Fiction Prize and ForeWord Magazine’s Bronze Prize in Fiction and was one of two finalists for the Texas Institute of Letters’ Best Work of First Fiction. Set in South Texas in April of 1963, SILENT tells the story of Thomas Riley, a WWI veteran who came back from the Great War middle-aged and silent. He can speak, but he doesn’t speak in this lyric tale of violence, redemption, and love reclaimed in the cruel dry land of Texas. PEN/Malamud Winner Richard Bausch said, “Bruce’s characters leap off the page at you; they have vividness and substance…one feels the life there…a deeply gifted writer.” For more information about Bruce’s work, visit http://www.elizabethbrucedc.com.Ver livro
The Woman in White is an epistolary novel written by Wilkie Collins in 1859, serialized in 1859-1860, and first published in book form in 1860. It is considered to be to the first mystery novel, and is widely regarded as one of the first (and finest) in the genre of ’sensation novels’….The Woman in White is also an early example of a particular type of Collins narrative in which several characters in turn take up the telling of the story. This creates a complex web in which readers are unsure which narrator can, and cannot, be trusted. Collins used this technique in his other novels, including The Moonstone. This technique was copied by other novelists, including Bram Stoker, author of Dracula (1897), although by the end of the 19th century the technique was considered “old-fashioned”.
