Book Synopsis Webley .45 And Other Short Stories by : R.K. Simpson

Download or read book Webley .45 And Other Short Stories written by R.K. Simpson. This book was released on 2022-03-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Simpson writes with such sureness and economy that every story contains a full-size novel. The folk here are full of life, full of truth, full of surprises." - Mike Feinsilber, Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Allusions "R.K. Simpson's stories are gems. They are magic. They are not to be forgotten." - Sharon J. Wohlmuth, New York Times bestsellers Sisters, Mothers and Daughters, and Friends. "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." Some of the stories in this collection bring that saying to mind. God might smile at the ones that end...with...unexpected twists because they are reminiscent of life's unpredictability. Others chronicle the confrontations we have had or have witnessed with todays' demons, including racism, abuse, homophobia, theft, even murder. The author has painted his heroes and heroines in these struggles with a sympathetic brush, so they will touch you and you will root for them, despite their flaws and foibles. In fact, you may even -- no, you most likely will -- find that some of them "will drift like phantom companions along the edges of your mind" -- to borrow a phrase from the author -- long after you meet them in this captivating book.

Book Synopsis Nora Webster by : Colm Toibin

Download or read book Nora Webster written by Colm Toibin. This book was released on 2014-10-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of contemporary literature’s bestselling, critically acclaimed, and beloved authors: a “luminous” novel (Jennifer Egan, The New York Times Book Review) about a fiercely compelling young widow navigating grief, fear, and longing, and finding her own voice—“heartrendingly transcendant” (The New York Times, Janet Maslin). Set in Wexford, Ireland, Colm Tóibín’s magnificent seventh novel introduces the formidable, memorable, and deeply moving Nora Webster. Widowed at forty, with four children and not enough money, Nora has lost the love of her life, Maurice, the man who rescued her from the stifling world to which she was born. And now she fears she may be sucked back into it. Wounded, selfish, strong-willed, clinging to secrecy in a tiny community where everyone knows your business, Nora is drowning in her own sorrow and blind to the suffering of her young sons, who have lost their father. Yet she has moments of stunning insight and empathy, and when she begins to sing again, after decades, she finds solace, engagement, a haven—herself. Nora Webster “may actually be a perfect work of fiction” (Los Angeles Times), by a “beautiful and daring” writer (The New York Times Book Review) at the zenith of his career, able to “sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations” (USA TODAY). “Miraculous...Tóibín portrays Nora with tremendous sympathy and understanding” (Ron Charles, The Washington Post).
