Ned O'Gorman: A Glance Back is a book of essays and reflections representing the various facets of Ned's life: The Poet, The Church, Harlem, and Sacred Spaces. The book is edited by Elizabeth Howard.

An enchanting story about an adventurous girl and her day at sea with Bonefish Joe, one of the best-known bonefish guides in the Bahamas. Young and fearless, Flossie, lives on Harbour Island, a small outpost in the Bahamas known for its exquisite three-mile pink sand beach and for bonefishing, a catch-and-release enterprise that pits a determined angler against an inedible, surprisingly powerful, and elusive quarry. Flossie's dream is to go fishing with the legendary guide Bonefish Joe, a beloved island institution who picks up clients at the dock and returns with them hours later, still fishless but satisfied. One Sunday, after church, Flossie's wish is surprisingly granted, and she and her friend discover the allure, the challenge, and the delights of hooking (and releasing) one of angling’s greatest prizes. Diana Wege's lush and vibrant illustrations of the island, its people, its customs, and its architecture, perfectly captures the character, culture, and charm of the Bahamas and Harbour Island.

"If a theatrical performance is primarily seen and heard, the main action in Much Ado About Nothing is principally overheard. The act of noting defines the play. While this dependence on noting seems rather harmless if the task is tricking Beatrice and Benedick to fall in love, Claudio's mistaken noting threatens to upend the comedy and undo all of the matches." -From Elizabeth Howard's guideThe Canon Classics Worldview Guides provide an aesthetic and thematic Christian perspective on the most definitive and daunting works of Western Literature. The Worldview Guides focus on the big picture (both the good and the bad) without neglecting the details. Each Worldview Guide is a friendly literary coach-and a treasure map, and a compass, and a key-to help teachers, parents, and students appreciate, critique, and master the classics.The bite-size WGs are divided into these ten sections (with some variation due to genre): Introduction, The World Around, About the Author, What Other Notables Said, Setting, Characters, & Argument, Worldview Analysis, Quotables, 21 Significant Questions & Answers, and Further Discussion & Review.

1950. Matriarkh semi Kazaletov, vsemi ljubimaja Djushi, ukhodit iz zhizni, zakryvaja za soboj dver v mir usadeb i slug, klassovykh razlichij i nerushimykh traditsij, v kotorom Kazalety protsvetali. Luiza, teper razvedennaja, vljubljaetsja, no ee roman okazyvaetsja ne takim uzh bezoblachnym. Polli i Kleri tem vremenem pytajutsja najti balans mezhdu semej i sobstvennymi ambitsijami. Khju i Edvard, kotorym perevalilo za shestdesjat, oschuschajut sebja poterjannymi v novom mire. Villi, kotoruju uzhe davno ostavil muzh, dolzhna nakonets nauchitsja byt samostojatelnoj. No glavnye ispytanija zhdut Rejchel, kotoraja vsegda zhila dlja drugikh... Kulminatsija zhdet vse semejstvo v Khoum-plejs, gde v rozhdestvo novoe pokolenie Kazaletov smelo vstupit v svoi prava. Tolko odno mozhno skazat navernjaka - zhizn uzhe nikogda ne budet prezhnej.

1939 god. Kak ustojat na nogakh, kogda privychnyj mir nachinaet rushitsja, blizkie stanovjatsja chuzhimi, a neminuemaja katastrofa vse blizhe? Kazhdyj chlen semejstva Kazalet berezhno khranit svoi tajny, sovershaet oshibki, delaet trudnyj vybor no, bezuslovno, v svojstvennoj im aristokraticheskoj manere uderzhivaet ravnovesie.

1942 god. Vojna nabiraet oboroty, a khaos vokrug stanovitsja privychnym. Kazalety razdeleny: kto-to v Londone pod postojannoj ugrozoj vozdushnykh atak, kto-to v Sussekse, rodovom pomeste, gde perezhivaet trudnoe vremja. Kazhdyj ischet sily dlja vyzhivanija i pytaetsja razobratsja v sobstvennoj zhizni - dazhe vo vremja vojny ljudi vljubljajutsja, razocharovyvajutsja i ischut sebja. Smjatenie okhvatyvaet kazhdogo iz Kazaletov. V takoe nespokojnoe vremja podderzhka semi neobkhodima osobenno ostro.

Posledstvija vojny i postepennoe nastuplenie novoj ery, ery svobody i vozmozhnostej, pravjat sudbami Kazaletov v chetvertoj knige sagi. Podrosshie Polli, Kleri i Luiza, kazhdaja po-svoemu, uznajut pravdu o mire vzroslykh. Tem vremenem Rupert, Khju i Edvard dolzhny sdelat vazhnye shagi, kotorye opredeljat ne tolko ikh buduschee, no i buduschee vsej semi. Dlja Kazaletov i vsekh, kto s nimi blizok, konets vojny sulit novoe nachalo.

Neverojatno autentichnyj vzgljad na supruzhestvo v dolgosrochnoj perspektive - iz nastojaschego v proshloe - istorija braka, glazami zhenschiny, kotoroj ne dali pravo vybora. Dejstvie nachinaetsja v 1950 godu, kazhdaja posledujuschaja chast uvodit nas vse dalshe v proshloe po zhizni missis Fleming, poka my ne perenosimsja v 1926 god, gde vidim ee junoj devushkoj Toni, kotoruju na puti k zamuzhestvu zhdut obmany iz luchshikh pobuzhdenij, rasterjannost, kholodnost materi i zamknutost ottsa. Nikakoj drugoj ona prosto ne mogla stat. Antoniju boleznenno sformirovali - obschestvo, semja i muzh. "Zhizn prozhivaetsja vpered, no ponimaetsja v obratnom napravlenii", - skazal Kerkegor, i, vozmozhno, imenno poetomu roman "V perspektive" dvizhetsja nazad.

Cazalet' perekonnakroonika teise romaani "Ootamise aeg" tegevus algab aasta pärast seda, kui lõppes eelmine romaan "Valguse aastad". Peaminister Chamberlain oli küll lubanud auväärset rahu, ent Teise maailmasõja algus tundub nüüd juba vältimatu.Sirgumas on uus põlvkond Cazalet'sid. Edwardi tütar Louise unistab näitlejakarjäärist ja Hamleti rollist teatrilaval. Murdeealisena tekivad tal suured suhtlemisraskused nii naistemehest isa kui ka seksuaalelu pelgava ja põlgava emaga. Ruperti tütar Clary teab kindlalt, et tahab tulevikus kirjanikuks saada. Imetlusväärse järjekindlusega teeb ta märkmeid kõige ümbritseva kohta, peab päevikut ja kirjutab kirju. Hugh' tütar Polly on sirgunud hea kujutlusvõimega ülitundlikuks kaunitariks. Samas on tal raske otsustada, kelleks saada.Viiest romaanist koosneva Cazalet' perekonnakroonika teine raamat on kolme peategelase ja paljude kõrvaltegelastega sõjaromaan - eriline selle poolest, et aitab näha olukorda läbi nende inimeste silmade, kes jäävad ootama lähedasi, kelle sõda on neist eemale rebinud. Romaan peegeldab igapäevast elu Inglise kõrgema keskklassi perekonnas Teise maailmasõja algusaastatel.Elizabeth Jane Howard (1923-2014) on inglise kirjanik, kes peamiselt mälestuste põhjal oma suguvõsast kirjutas viieosalise Cazalet' perekonna kroonika, mis tõi talle plahvatusliku kuulsuse kogu ingliskeelses maailmas. Raamatuid müüdi miljonites eksemplarides, BBC tegi loo alusel menuka teleseriaali, autorist sai elav klassik.

On aasta 1942 ja sõja lõppu ei oska keegi ennustada. Suur osa suguvõsast on pikemalt peatuma jäänud suhteliselt vaiksesse Sussexi maakodusse, mis kuulub patriarh Brigile, ent mõned elavad ja töötavad endiselt Londonis - pidevas pommirünnakute hirmus. Sõja käiku iseloomustav selgusetus otsekui peegeldub kõigi nende inimeste elus, kes ei võitle rindel, vaid on jäänud koju. Põikpäine ja järjest iseseisvamaks muutunud Louise üllatab kogu perekonda sellega, et loobub abiellumise kasuks oma suurest unistusest saada näitlejaks. Tema meheleminekust saab paremal järjel seltskonna suursündmus. Polly ja Clary on nüüd seitsmeteistkümnesed ning lõpuks ometi täitub nende soov elada üheskoos Londonis. Selgub aga, et elu suurlinnas pole päris see, mida nad olid ette kujutanud.

"Selgusetus" on sarja kolmas osa. Eesti keeles on ilmunud ka esimesed osad "Valguse aastad" ja "Ootamise aeg".
