(2011, 352 pages) Chimamanda ADICHIE – Half a Yellow Sun (3 sets) This is a heartbreaking, literary masterpiece. set in Nigeria during the 1960s, at the time of a vicious civil war in which a million people died and thousands were massacred in cold blood. The three main characters in the novel are swept up in the violence during these turbulent years. As these people's lives intersect, they have to question their own responses to the unfolding political events.

(2007, 448 pages) Chimamanda ADICHIE – Purple Hibiscus (2 sets) A haunting tale of an Africa and an adolescence undergoing tremendous changes. The limits of fifteen-year-old Kambili's world are defined by the high walls of her family estate and the dictates of her repressive and fanatically religious father.

When Nigeria begins to fall apart during a military coup, Kambili's father, involved mysteriously in the political crisis, sends Kambili and her brother away to live with their aunt. In this house, full of energy and laughter, she discovers life and love – and a terrible, bruising secret deep within her family.

(2008, 336 pages) Jose Eduardo AGUALUSA – The Book of Chameleons Set in contemporary Angola, The Book of Chameleons is populated with characters whose stories never quite settle...It is some pages in before you realise that the narrator - rather charming, witty as he is - a lizard, living on Felix Ventura's living room wall. Felix trades in an usual commodity - he sells pasts. If you don't like yours, he can come up with an entirely new one for you, full of better memories and with a complete lineage. This is a book about the landscape of memory, its inconsistencies and its randomness. (2006, 256 pages) Mitch ALBOM – Tuesdays with Morrie (Non-Fiction) Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, and gave you sound advice. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly 20 years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life.

But Poppy, as she keeps telling everyone, isn’t mad… (2006, 352 pages) Isabel ALLENDE – House of the Spirits (2 sets) Spanning four generations, Isabel Allende's magnificent family saga is populated by a memorable, often eccentric cast of characters.

(1982, 490 pages) Anita AMIRREZVANI – The Blood of Flowers (2 sets) The Blood of Flowers envelops you in 17th-century Iran.

(2007, 288 pages) Maya ANGELOU – I Know why the Caged Bird Sings (Biography) Maya Angelou's six volumes of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer.

The introduction presents the background to Bennett’s novella, with special emphasis on the monarchist and anti-monarchist trends in Britain, as well as on the increased popularity of the monarchy as a result of intensive media coverage. The first part also draws the connection between the media craze which exposes the private side of the royalty and Bennett’s disclosure of the humanity of Queen Elizabeth II through the mediation of the world of literature instead of that of tabloids or television.

  • Golden Aphrodite
    Receiving Aphrodite At first glance Aphrodite seems to be a strange paradox. She is laughter-loving Aphrodite, always keen to promote fun and romantic intrigue, the owner of a special belt full of desire and distractions (Il. 14.215-7) And yet she, often working with her son Eros, is a powerful goddess, the life force essential for the generation of all beings, and also single-mindedly destructive when her will is thwarted, maddening (S. Ant. 790) and terrible (E. Hipp. 563). Sophocles sums her mixture of playful and powerful effectively: Aphrodite is an “irresistible” goddess who “plays games” (S. Ant. 800). Of course, the paradox is not so strange. Love can indeed be a joyous or agonizing human experience, while anyone who knows the gods of Greek literature, especially of Homer, is aware that they can behave like human beings at their worst while simultaneously wielding an extreme and violent power, especially in what they can do to any mortal who challenges their supremacy. The gods are both supremely powerful over humans yet also vulnerable to any perceived human disrespect and need us almost as much as we need them. Aphrodite’s love of intrigue in human lives and insistence on her own supremacy even at some cost to the humans in whose lives she must intervene shape her portrayal in three contemporary novels in which she (and her son as assistant) is a character: sometimes her darker side is emphasized and sometimes she is more of a “laughter-lover”. The best known of these is Phillips (2007), but equally interesting are the Aphrodites of Cobbold (2009) and of Weiss (1999).

  • Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips Being Immortal Isn't All It's Cracked up to Be
    Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips Being immortal isn't all it's cracked up to be. Life's hard for a Greek god in the 21st century: nobody believes in you any more, even your own family doesn't respect you, and you're stuck in a delapidated hovel in north London with too many siblings and not enough hot water. But for Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker), Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator) and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic) there's no way out... Until a meek cleaner and her would-be boyfriend come into their lives, and turn the world literally upside down. Gods Behaving Badly is that rare thing, a charming, funny, utterly original first novel that satisfies the head and the heart. 290 pages Kindle £4.99 Plenty of used.

As you read, we urge you to remember that the art of reading is a creative act, a collaboration between reader and writer. Hold a dialogue with these books: question, argue, disagree; underline those passages that exhilarate you as well as those that infuriate you. Keep a notebook to jot down your imme- diate responses to each of these works and write questions that you want to discuss in your English classes. Encourage your family and friends to join you in these reading experiences. A number of the books on this list have been made into movies, many of them wonderful in their own right. Seeing a movie instead of reading the book, however, will not prepare you for your teacher’s assignment related to that book, nor will it replace the unique experience of interacting with a specific text.

  • Gothic Inheritance and the Troubles in Contemporary Irish Fiction
    Page 3 ‘Give it Welcome’: Gothic Inheritance and the Troubles in Contemporary Irish Fiction Matthew Schultz On April 10, 1998, the British and Irish governments signed the Good Friday Agreement, marking the official end of the Troubles in Northern Ireland––though not the cessation of violence. A year earlier, Jeffrey Glenn, a 46 year old librarian in Ballynahinch, County Down, submitted an essay for a retrospective collection, Children of The Troubles: Our Lives in the Crossfire of Northern Ireland . In it, he recalls the pangs of terror he regularly experienced while growing up in a Belfast suburb in the 1950s: As a young child, I used to look carefully under my bed every night before saying my prayers. The Irish Republican Army campaign of the fifties was in full swing and I was checking for bombs. Even if I couldn’t see one, I still lay quaking with fear for what seemed like hours every night.(1) Glenn’s variation on this common childhood anxiety of ‘monsters under the bed’ highlights the particular paranoia caused by Irish paramilitary violence that threatened to erupt into domestic spaces. Glenn was a prisoner in his own “suburban stronghold.”(2) Outside, he recalls, “Buses, trucks, cars, and construction equipment formed blazing barricades and groups of angry­faced men were busy hi­jacking more.”(3) Later, Belfast was to be divided by more permanent ‘peace lines’ constructed of iron, brick, and steel, and topped with metal netting that reached a height of twenty­five feet. These barriers separated Catholic from Protestant neighborhoods,

Ayobami ADEBAYO - Stay with me (2017, 298 pages) Yejide is hoping for a miracle, for a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything - arduous pilgrimages, medical consultations, dances with prophets, appeals to God. But when her in- laws insist upon a new wife, it is too much for Yejide to bear. It will lead to jealousy, betrayal and despair. Unravelling against the social and political turbulence of '80s Nigeria, Stay with Me sings with the voices, colours, joys and fears of its surroundings. Ayobami Adebayo weaves a devastating story of the fragility of married love, the undoing of family, the wretchedness of grief and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood.
