"I know you.""So what . . . everyone in this shitty little town knows me. I suppose you believe the stories too.""I said I knew you. I didn't say I believed the stories."While visiting the cemetery on the third anniversary of her son Indie's death, Rebecca Adams encounters an elderly woman who says she recognizes her and wants to help her. Who is she? What is her connection to Rebecca? And does she really want to help the woman known as the Campbell River Baby Killer, or is she just out for gossip like the rest of the small-town residents? As if life isn't hard enough for Rebecca after losing her child and having people think she killed him, she is devastated to discover that her husband and best friend are having an affair. As deadly secrets begin to come to light, she comes to the realization that Jake and Olivia deserve each other, and she's better off without them in her life.

Catharine Scott is over it. Working on Saturdays. Cranky clients. Student debt. Law is not so glam as she was lead to believe. But this new case does have a twist. Today's cranky client, the ancient Mrs. Winkler, wants her to inspect the old family house located waaay back in the country, near a crossroads called Hood's Bluff. It's always nice to get out of the office. But then there's the matter of the former inhabitant, the notoriously eccentric Clara Hood. She'd died at the house and her body was delivered to the hospital but now she's-to put it simply-gone. Just gone. And when Catharine arrives at the house it's pretty clear that someone is in there. Which is wrong. And it turns out the intruder wasn't interested in the obvious things, but was trying to steal some strange old books. Which is weird. And why do these huge black birds keep staring at her? Which is so weird. Catharine needs help, and she cobbles together a team. Duncan Lowe is an archaeologist and historian. And whose British accent is not unlike a stiff gin-and-tonic. Ann Hull is a deacon in the nearby Episcopal church and utterly fearless. Logan Stanley is a cub reporter for the Fort Baldwin Advocate and a magnet for trouble. John Coker is a linguist and code-breaker who was brought in as a consultant but who stays on to become part of Catharine's quest. Because when they learn what Clara Hood was up to in that creepy old house, well, you'll see...

A Concise History of Bosnia

A Concise History of Bosnia

sidottu
A Concise History of Bosnia integrates the political, economic and cultural history of this fascinating, beautiful, but much misunderstood country. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary literature, this objective and engaging history covers developments in the region up to the present day and offers an accessible interpretation of an often contested and controversial history. Importantly, Cathie Carmichael looks at Bosnia over the long term, moving away from a narrow focus on the 1990s to offer a historical rather than a nationalist perspective on events. Integrated within the narrative account, there is a particular focus on the themes of culture and religion, and the effect of geography and regional changes in the landscape on Bosnian history. Engaging and authoritative, the book succinctly explores how Bosnia has changed over many centuries, and focuses on the dynamic and creative aspects of Bosnia's past as well as the darker elements.
The Sacrificial Laws of Leviticus and the Joseph Story

The Sacrificial Laws of Leviticus and the Joseph Story

Calum Carmichael

Cambridge University Press
2017
sidottu
In this study, Calum Carmichael offers a new assessment of the Joseph story from the perspective of the biblical laws in Leviticus 1-10. These sacrificial laws, he argues, respond to the many problems in the first Israelite family. Understanding how ancient lawgivers thought about Joseph's and his brothers' troubling behavior leads to a greater appreciation of this complicated tale. The study of the laws in Leviticus 1-10 in relation to the Joseph story provides evidence that all biblical laws, over 400, constitute commentary on issues in the biblical narratives. They do not, as commonly thought, directly reflect the societal concerns in ancient Israelite times. Through close reading and analysis, Carmichael reveals how biblical narrators and lawgivers found distinctive and subtle ways of evaluating a single development in a narrative from multiple perspectives. Thus, the sacrificial laws addressing idolatry, keeping silent about a known offense, confessing wrongdoing, and seeking forgiveness become readily understandable when reviewed as responses to the events in the Joseph story.

Illustrative figures and addenda are also contained. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the life of Southampton, Shakespeare and literary criticism.

Charlotte Carmichael Stopes (1840–1829) is best known as the mother of birth control advocate Marie Stopes. Like her daughter, Stopes forged the way for women seeking academic careers: she was the first woman in Scotland to graduate from university, and was later elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. In this monograph Stopes resolves to settle once and for all whether or not Francis Bacon wrote the plays attributed to William Shakespeare, concluding that the Baconian theory is wholly without foundation. Over nearly 300 pages of erudite argument, Stopes examines the numerous distinctions between the lives and experiences of the two writers, their differing styles of writing, and the evidence provided by Shakespeare's contemporaries. Stopes' book also includes extensive appendices providing background information on Shakespeare and the early modern theatre.

Charlotte Carmichael Stopes (1841–1929) was a British scholar, a prolific writer and supporter of feminist causes. After becoming the first women to gain a Certificate of Arts in Scotland, Stopes published widely on Shakespeare and social reform, receiving an award from the British Academy in 1916 for her contributions to Shakespearian literary research. This volume, now reissued from the 1907 third edition, was first published in 1894. It contains Stopes' investigation into the history of British women's legal and civic rights. Through an analysis of state papers, parliamentary records and scholarly works on legal history, Stopes provides numerous historical examples of women holding extensive constitutional and legal rights, which are arranged according to the holder's social status. This pioneering feminist history became a key text used by women's suffrage activists to justify their position.
