Like Snow Falling In Summer

Like Snow Falling In Summer

Louise Dunn

Blue Cat Books
2020
pokkari
The stories in this book explore the unpredictable territory of human experience with nuance and insight. Each tale is a separate gust of wind in a storm of shifting perspectives, distorted reflections and surprising destinations. Parallel Lines emits ghostly chills without veering from the contemporary flavour of the prose; Lifeline explores the fortunes of an empty palm; mundanity coexists with schadenfreude in Green Apples; moral ambiguity changes colour in Tea and Shortbread; and death, disappointment and discovery trickle through the entirety of this eclectic collection as quietly and purposefully as melting snow. Compelling, quirky and flawlessly written, Louise Dunn's memorable characters will take you from romance to revenge, from murder to mistaken identity, as you peer through the keyholes at their ink-frozen lives.

Like a Garden

Like a Garden

Sara Covin Juengst

Westminster/John Knox Press,U.S.
1996
nidottu
What is it about a garden that has such strong attraction for so many of us? In this beautifully illustrated book, Sara Covin Juengst answers this question as she explores the way the metaphor of the garden is used in the Bible. She looks at how the various garden images are used to convey ideas of God's providential care, our responsibility to steward the earth, the discipline of the Christian life, what it means to bear fruit, and the harvest waiting for us in the "new heaven and earth." She also discusses ancient gardening routines, such as plowing, planting, and pruning, to shed light on the significance of the symbolism used in biblical passages that use these images.

Like a Cat Loves a Bird: The Nine Lives of Muriel Spark

Like a Cat Loves a Bird: The Nine Lives of Muriel Spark

James Bailey

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
2026
sidottu
"A deeply stylish, astute, and illuminating portrait of a fascinating writer."--Francesca Wade, author of Gertrude Stein: An Afterlife A spiky and delicious new literary portrait of the great twentieth-century British author of beloved novels such as The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and The Girls of Slender Means "She was, if you believe what you read in the papers: a genius, a survivor, a bad mother, a fickle friend, a closeted lesbian, a tyrant, a loner, an eccentric, a recluse, a gossip, and an arch-manipulator. She would politely encourage you not to believe what you read in the papers."--from Like a Cat Loves a Bird Muriel Spark (1918-2006) was one of literature's great shapeshifters. That mercurial quality is found in her strange, brilliant, cruel novels--with their plots featuring a cast of elderly characters receiving telephone calls from Death, the devil going clubbing in Peckham, and a fascist schoolmistress leading her coterie of girls astray--but it is also true of her as a person. As sly, nimble, and elegant as Spark's own work, Like a Cat Loves a Bird offers a thrilling new perspective on a remarkable life and career that spanned much of the twentieth century. From Spark's childhood in Edinburgh to her final years in Tuscany--via South Africa, London, New York, and Rome--James Bailey traces a light-footed journey around the world and through the novelist's strange and magnificent books. The result is an irresistible story of transformation, wit, and fierce determination--and a passionate case for this vital modern artist.

Like King Palms in the Wind: An American;s Cuban Adventure

The small Jet Blue plane cut through the clouds of an early-morning sky in Florida. Almost immediately, it began its descent, aimed for the northeastern coast of Cuba. I'm on the right aisle seat, about midpoint in the plane. To my right is a handsome young Cuban man, with the most astonishing and elaborate gold dental work I have ever seen. Each time he smiles - and he smiles a lot - his teeth glow, capturing and reflecting the sunlight we have just discovered above the clouds. To his right is Natalie, a tiny, birdlike woman of an unknown age. She's clearly uncomfortable. I know the feeling. How in the hell did I get here? That brief plane ride, nearly 60 years in the making, launched author and journalist Hildred (Hildy) Corbett on a nine-day odyssey to Cuba. While there, she experienced both challenges and victories, while discovering self-reliance, developing life-time friendships and growing to love Cuba's strongest asset: its people.

Like Our Very Own

Like Our Very Own

Julie Berebitsky

University Press of Kansas
2001
sidottu
Talk about adoption has become increasingly political, as debates swirl around the morality and viability of various forms of adoption: interracial, international, ""open"", and those involving single parents or gay and lesbian couples. Paramount in many minds is the threat to the traditional (or mythical) nuclear family. But, as this study shows, such concerns are fairly recent developments in the history of adoption. The author reveals that in the late-19th and early-20th centuries the rules governing adoption were much less rigid and adoptive parents and families were considerably more diverse. She chronicles the experiences of adoptive parents and children during a century of great change, illuminating the prominent role adoption came to play in defining both motherhood and family in America. Drawing on case histories, letters from adoptive parents, congressional records, and fiction and popular magazines of the day, Berebitsky recovers the efforts of single mothers, African American parents, the elderly and other marginalized citizens to obtain children of their own. She contends, however, that this diversity gradually diminished during the 100 years between the first adoption laws in 1851 and the postwar ""baby boom"" era. Adoption social theory and practice was gradually transformed into a highly homogenized model that tried to match children to parents by class and background and that ultimately favoured conventional middle class American families. Changing attitudes about adoption, as Berebitsky shows, have also mirrored changing definitions of motherhood. At a time when womanhood and motherhood were socially synonymous, both birth mothers who gave up their children and adoptive mothers seeking a maternal role were viewed as transgressors of the natural order. This eventually changed, but only after proper training and outside expert approval replaced an assumed maternal instinct as the keystone of good mothering. This chapter in American social and cultural history offers evidence that adoption has always been an important factor in our evolving efforts to define the meaning and nature of both motherhood and family.
