Think you know the person you married? Think again… “ Feeney lives up to her reputation as the “queen of the twist”…This page-turner will keep you guessing.” -Real Simple ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Would we know it, the moment when it became too late, when the oceans ceased to be infinite? Marine acidification verified what seemed a very ancient fear: that even as what was coming on promised to assume the dimensions of a vast and totalising phase shift, it unfurled, presently, on a molecular and insensate scale. As the oceans took in more CO2 from the air, their baseline chemistry shifted. Word had it that the sea water itself had begun to acidify a change too subtle to taste, smell, or touch, but staged across the breadth of oceans in tandem with rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2). What was lost, if you took the time to think about it, was the timelessness the sea had always stood for. Who hadn’t yet seen that abysmal picture of the tin can, spotlit by a submersible in the silt of the ocean’s deepest trench, or the other one: the photo of the seahorse latched onto a floating cotton bud? Seascape - the obsession of a Golden Age of painting, and once the saturnine vista with which to dramatise the psyche - had since reverted to kitsch: a mixed-media project, churning found objects. ![]() ![]() Die-offs, dead zones, and reefs rotted to the colour of old money.

Sometimes I Lie TV Mini Series Drama Note: Because this project is categorized as in development, the data is only available on IMDbPro and is subject to change. Plunged into her claustrophobic perception, the reader must sort through prevarications, obfuscations, and elaborate smokescreens to get even a sense of Amber Reynolds’s character. Everything she admits, including that she lies, might be a lie. ![]() ![]() She even goes by two different names, Amber and Taylor. I whisper quietly to myself, whilst visually checking that everything is switched off, my fingernails clicking together. My fingers form the familiar shape: the index and middle finger finding the thumb on each hand. ![]() Amber explains at one point how every morning she dons her face like an outfit and says, “I unzip the body of who I used to be and step outside myself a newborn Russian doll wondering how many other versions of me are still hidden inside” (252). Or Amber 'I stand in front of the large range oven with my arms bent at the elbows. Amber is the first-person narrator and protagonist of the novel, and defining her character is a challenge given that she admits that she is a compulsive liar and admits to pretending to be someone she is not in critical relationships including in her workplace, her family, and her marriage. ![]() ![]() ![]() Daily Telegraph (London) A gripping yet nuanced account a magnificent biography.

The definitive biography of the deeply complex and widely misunderstood matinee idol of Hollywood’s Golden Age.ĭevastatingly handsome, broad-shouldered and clean-cut, Rock Hudson was the ultimate movie star. ![]() ![]() These kind of conflicts can be handled in each couple's full lenght novel. If you decide to write additional novella for each couple, then I expect a lot of domestic fluff and not fights about important milestones like marriage, pregnancy, kids etc. The Legacy is not what I have in mind when I think of an epilogue novel(las). ![]() Love the idea of them being the first book in the series and then, the last book ending with their chapters, but Elle Kennedy did (all) the characters so dirty.

The Lake House takes the reader on a journey to solve 2 unsolved mysteries one that took place in 1933 and the other in 2003. Kate Morton does such a wonderful job with describing EVERYTHING, the characters, the scene and scenery as well as the emotions that it’s easy to feel as if you’re a witness to the story that unfolds.
