Sinopse

Madame Bovary is the French writer Gustave Flaubert's debut novel. The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. Flaubert was a notorious perfectionist and claimed always to be searching for le mot juste ("the precise word").

Long established as one of the greatest novels ever written, the book has often been described as a "perfect" work of fiction. Henry James writes: "Madame Bovary has a perfection that not only stamps it, but that makes it stand almost alone; it holds itself with such a supreme unapproachable assurance as both excites and defies judgment." Giorgio de Chirico said that in his opinion "from the narrative point of view, the most perfect book is Madame Bovary by Flaubert".

    A curious thing happened when Larry Lizer woke up this morning. 
    When he opened his eyes, he did not recognize his surroundings. 
    Most people would have been put out by such a significant inconvenience, but it was not a feeling unfamiliar to Larry Lizer. In fact, he had been dealing with this particular interdimensional peculiarity for a long time. 
    However, it will take the intervention of the angel Quieriel to give Larry Lizer the context to describe this phenomenon, and the truth of his fateful predicament will rock Larry Lizer to his core, upending everything he thought he knew about the universe. 
    Join Larry Lizer and the angel Quieriel in this metaphysical exploration of the multiverse, wrestling with your own mortality, and the joy of finding significance in an insignificant life. 
    If you have ever felt irrelevant in the vastness of the universe or questioned whether life had any meaning, then Time is a Flat Circle was written just for you.

    Former Detective Hillary Greene and her cold case team are handed an impossible case. 
     
    Thirty years ago, two days before Christmas, the much-loved Reverend Keith Coltrane was hit over the head and left to die inside his own church. The killer was never caught. 
     
    This shocking crime took place in the pretty Oxfordshire village of Lower Barton. Everyone knows everyone else in this peaceful little community. The young reverend was handsome and popular, especially with the ladies of the village. Who would have wanted to harm him? Even thirty years later, no one has a bad word to say about him — apart from his younger sister. 
     
    Now, Hillary and her team of misfits are ready to find out the truth. They uncover old secrets, jealousies and long-standing feuds in the village. Secrets someone will kill to keep hidden. 
     
    Hillary is also concealing something — but she’s finding it harder and harder to keep her own secret. 
     
    It’s up to Hillary to uncover the shocking truth in this coldest of cold cases — before old crimes turn to new murder.
