Ahern, Cecelia The Gift This is a story about people who not unlike parcels hide secrets. They cover themselves in layers until the right person unwraps them and discovers what's inside. Sometimes you have to be unraveled in order to find out who you really are. Alfieri, Annamaria City of Silver Trouble brews when it’s discovered by the King of Spain that the coins which the richest city in Peru have been circulating are not made of pure silver. The city prepares to be judged by top officials. Mother Maria finds herself at odd when the daughter of a wealthy man dies in her care. Her life at stake, she tries to find the true cause of the girl’s death. Ali, Monica In the Kitchen In The Kitchen opens with a mysterious death in the cellars of a smart, cosmopolitan hotel and over the course of the ensuing pages, peels back the layers of 9 polyglot London to reveal the melting pot which exists below.

When Wink becomes her partner, it’s the beginning of a sexy and pure collaboration. Andrews, Mary Kay Little Bitty Lies: a novel Little white lies have never been so risky – or so much fun! Arsenault, Emily The Broken Teaglass The dusty files of a venerable dictionary publisher, a hidden cache of coded clues, a story written by a phantom author, and an unsolved murder in a gritty urban park--all collide memorably in Emily Arsenault's magnificent debut at once a teasing literary puzzle an ingenious suspense novel and an exploration of definitions: of words of who we are and of the stories we choose to define us. Atkins, Charles Ashes, Ashes Forensic psychiatrist Barrett Conyors receives an emergency call on the way to her Manhattan gynecologist to terminate the pregnancy caused by the rapist who killed her husband. She must act 10 immediately to try to block a judge's decision to transfer four extremely dangerous murderers from a maximum security prison to a less secure facility.

Baart, Nicole The Moment Between Abigail Bennett was completely in control of her life until tragedy pushed her to the brink of something she's never experienced: Obsession. Now Abigail has given up everything she's worked so hard for to chase down the object of her obsession, Tyler Camp. As she follows him across the border into Canada, her journey is awash in memories of family and childhood, especially those of her younger sister, Hailey. Even as Abigail races to her future, her past pulls her back. And only when she is brought to the edge of her obsession will she be able to come to terms with the tragedy that ignited it. Barke, James The Wind That Shakes the Barley: Novel of the Life and Loves of Robert Burns Although he died at the age of just 37, Robert Burns had an extraordinary life. Born into poverty and hardship, the family somehow managed to hire a tutor for the young Robert and his intelligence and passion were obvious from an early age. It was the start of a journey that would see him become one of 11 the most talented and respected writers we have ever produced. Barbour, Anne A Dangerous Charade Alison Fox was the epitome of the lady's companion. Prim, proper and efficient, no one would suspect that, in her past, she had also been Lissa Reynard, successful gambler and adventuress. She had left this life behind her, but knew that it was only a matter of time before she would be found by the one man she feared the most. Boyd, Noah The Bricklayer The Bricklayer is an ex-FBI agent who's been fired for insubordination but is lured back to the Bureau to work a case that has become more unsolvable—and more deadly—by the hour. Bradshaw, Gillian The Sun’s Bride In 246 B.C., a naval ship runs into a pirate vessel while returning to Rhodes on its maiden voyage. Led by Isokrates, the ship’s helmsman, the Rhodians defeat the pirates and rescue the attractive Dionysia, who is herself involved in a scandal. 12 Brodie, Laura The Widow’s Season Sarah McConnell's husband had been dead three months when she saw him in the grocery store. Sarah's friends tell her that her glimpses of her husband will last a season and then fade away. But what if there is another answer? After all, his body was never found. Brontë, Emily Wuthering Heights When Mr. Earnshaw brings a black-haired foundling child into his home on the Yorkshire moors, he little imagines the dramatic events which will follow. The passionate relationship between Cathy Earnshaw and the foundling, Heathcliff, is a story of love, hate, pity, and retribution: the effects of which reverberate throughout the succeeding generations. Brown, Dale ; Defelice, Jim Whiplash: A Dreamland Thriller Peace is an illusion . The Apocalypse is days away. The world's attention is focused on the historic plans of the U.S. and Iranian presidents to lay down their swords. But on the African continent, one man holds the power to obliterate the peace by unleashing terror and global chaos - and no one sees it coming.

  • THE CLASS of of the City University of New York May 28, 2020 2020 1
    Herbert H. Lehman College THE CLASS OF of The City University of New York May 28, 2020 2020 1 Dear Class of 2020: As I write this, I am reflecting on the 2018 Winter Olympics. I remember being impressed by the vignettes highlighting the personal sacrifice and commitment that led some of the most admired and talented athletes in the world to the medal stand. Those traits – sacrifice and commitment – came to mind when I thought about your graduating class of more than 3500 students. Though you did not have the privilege those Olympic athletes enjoyed to devote themselves completely to just one thing, you have shown, especially in the months leading up to this moment, that you share the same kind of commitment and sacrifices needed to help you take your place among champions. While studying, many of you have worked several part-time jobs, caring for children and relatives, commuting many hours to and from classes. Without the benefit of a financial safety net, you have also now managed to complete the disrupted term of spring term, often with inadequate internet access and with multiple challenges compounded by stay-at-home restrictions. What you have achieved would be admirable in any context but in the context of 2020, it is phenomenal. Nearly 40 percent of you have lost your jobs and critical income this spring. Some of you have battled COVID-19 yourselves, and far too many of you have friends and loved ones coping with COVID-19. It grieves me to say that at least two of your peers lost the fight with coronavirus, with the Bronx being one of the counties hardest-hit by the pandemic in the country.

JOHNSONJOHNSON August 2009 n my student days, I was the victim of a burglary; although, given the area of Sheffield in which my tiny one-bedroom flat was situated, I was probably lucky to only experience this on one occasion (Seriously, just Google “axe attack Sheffield” and you will be able to see my old neighbourhood in all its glory!). I Being the victim of such a crime is a terrible thing. It becomes impossible to relax in your own home, and the sense of anger and anxiety which follow are something which can seriously play on your mind for months to follow. You may then think it is strange that I spent a year of my life writing the biography of a famous Sheffield burglar, exploring his antics and dragging his cowardly crimes back into the limelight after a century of almost obscurity. The rogue in question was Charles Frederick Peace, a master of cat burglary and cunning disguise, and a man whose life was entirely deserving of being immortalised.

  • Three Fifteenth-Century Collections of Communal Song A
    ‘Synge we now alle and sum’: Three Fifteenth-Century Collections of Communal Song A study of British Library, Sloane MS 2593; Bodleian Library, MS Eng. poet. e.1; and St John’s College, Cambridge, MS S.54 Kathleen Rose Palti University College London Volume I: Thesis I, Kathleen Rose Palti, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: Kathleen Palti 2 Abstract The manuscripts British Library, Sloane MS 2593, Bodleian Library, MS Eng. poet. e.1, and St John’s College, Cambridge, MS S.54 are compact collections of song lyrics written during the fifteenth century, largely without notation. My thesis seeks to develop responsive ways of reading these anthologies and uses the manuscripts to illumine the creative processes that produced and circulated their songs. I integrate attention to song lyrics within the material books and exploration of wider textual networks. As many of the anthologies’ texts are in carol form, a combination of refrain parts and stanzas, the books provide an opportunity to examine the form’s identity and significance within fifteenth- century English songwriting. The thesis is in three parts and the first introduces critical approaches to the manuscripts and the carol, followed by an examination of the books and their contexts, especially manuscripts with which the anthologies have textual connections. The central section investigates the songs’ production and circulation by examining textual networks, how the anthologies were written, how the songs may have been performed, and the role of memory in shaping the songs and anthologies.
