They were held in brutal captivity--and managed to make it out alive. This is their story. The Lost Girls are Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus--three innocent young women who were kidnapped, imprisoned, and repeatedly molested and beaten in a Cleveland home basement for over a decade by a depraved man named Ariel Castro. Their incredible escape, in May 2013, made headlines all over the world. "Absorbing...a page-turning, detailed overview of this remarkable story." --Kirkus Reviews In this up-close-and-personal account--including exclusive interviews with Castro's family members, secret girlfriend, neighbors, and others--veteran investigative journalist John Glatt reveals what it was like as Michelle, Amanda, and Gina waited, bound and chained, to be found. Shocking and heartbreaking, The Lost Girls is a true-crime tale that no reader will soon forget. "John Glatt is one of the finest true crime craftsmen writing today." --Howard Goldberg, VH1.com With 8 pages of chilling photos
An Autobiography. The Story of the Lord's Dealings With Mrs. Amanda Smith: The Colored Evangelist; Containing an Account of Her Life Work of Faith, an
For a number of years many of my friends have said to me, "You ought to write out an account of your life, and let it he known how God has led you out into His work." Some time before that wonderful man of God, John S. Inskip, passed away, he said, "Amanda, you ought to write," and he kindly offered to assist me in getting the items together. Many other friends in America, have said the same, and I have replied, "I could not do it, for I don't know how to go about it," and so would not entertain the thought. Time passed on, and after I was in England a while, the friends there began to say the same thing, and as an inducement to commence, told me that it might be done much cheaper there than in America.

Kui Amanda Craigi üheksanda romaani peategelane Hannah Londoni-Penzance'i rongis esimese klassi vagunisse kutsutakse, astub ta intriigide ämblikuvõrku. Omal ajal põgenes ta Cornwallist ülikooli, täis lootust ja illusioone. Kuid pärast abielu Jake'iga ja lapse sündi on Hannah' unistustest järel vaid armetud riismed. Mees jättis ta maha rikka lastetu naise pärast ja üksikemana ellujäämiseks peab Hannah Londonis koristajana leiba teenima. Jinni on samavõrd vihane ja kibestunud, ning ühise rongisõidu ajal lepivad naised kokku, et tapavad teineteise abikaasad. Lõppude lõpuks on nad vaid rongis kohtunud võhivõõrad - kes oskaks neid kahtlustada?"Kuldreeglis" on ühtaegu teravat satiiri, intrigeerivat krimilugu ja liigutavat romantikat. On ka Brexit. Samal ajal on see meeldetuletus muinasjuttude, müütide ja legendide olulisusest - nii neist, mida me leiame raamatutest, kui ka neist, mida mängime konsoolidel - iseenda paremaks mõistmiseks.Amanda Craig on briti romaanikirjanik, lühijuttude autor ja kriitik, kes alustas karjääri ajakirjanikuna ja koostab siiani kirjandusülevaateid, eriti lastekirjandusest, New Statesmanile ja Observerile. Ta on töötanud reklaaminduses ja suhtekorralduses, kogenud neis valdkondades ahistamist ja elatanud end sellest pääsemiseks koristajana. Oma lugudes prepareerib ta kaasaegset ühiskonda, nii linnas kui ka maal, teravmeelselt ja empaatiaga, kaldumata osava jutuvestjana sealjuures moraalilugemisse.

A fabulously wealthy New York beauty marries a cold-hearted British aristocrat at the behest of her Machiavellian mother – then leaves him to become a prominent Suffragette. Consuelo Vanderbilt was one of the greatest heiresses of the late 19th-century, a glittering prize for suitors on both sides of the Atlantic. When she married, a crowd of over 2,000 onlookers gathered, and newspapers frenziedly reported every detail of the event, right down to the bridal underwear. Even by the standards of the day the glamorous, eighteen-year-old had made an outstanding match: she had ensnared the twenty-four-year-old Duke of Marlborough, the most eligible peer in Great Britain. Yet the bride’s swollen face, barely hidden under the veil, presaged the unhappiness that lay in the couple’s painful twelve-year future. It was not Consuelo, but her domineering mother who had forced the marriage through. This captivating biography tells of the lives of mother and daughter: the story of the fairytale wedding and its nightmarish aftermath, and an account of how both women went on to dedicate their lives to the dramatic fight for women’s rights, in the light of their own suffering.

The first book in a brand new trilogy from the author of Prospero’s Children. Bartlemy Goodman is approximately 1500 years old. An albino of Greek parentage he was born in Byzantium amidst the decline of the Roman Empire and now resides in the village of Thornyhill, England with his dog, Hoover. Bartlemy is one of the Gifted. But long experience has taught him the perils of the power of the witch-kind and so throughout the ages has channelled his considerable talents into cooking, his culinary prowess becoming the stuff of legend: he worked for the Borgias, was among the first to discover chocolate and even taught the likes of Escoffier. On a warm evening in 1991 a young homeless woman holding a baby turns up on Bartlemy's doorstep and he senses destiny at work. The woman's name is Annie Ward and her son, Nathan, is an exceptional child as Annie cannot account for his conception. Her husband Daniel died in a car accident so Nathan cannot be his. Soon Bartlemy comes to believe that the boy was created beyond the Gate of Death by a superior being for a special purpose, one that may threaten all of witch-kind and that it is his job to protect him. Whilst Nathan grows and Bartlemy continues to watch over the small family, strange occurrences begin to plague the village. The Thorn family, who gave their name to the village have lived close by since pre-Christian times, were once the guardians of a strange cup of greenish stone and set with jewels. When it was lost; sold to a Jewish collector in Austria by the black sheep of the family who absconded with it in the 1920's, the family's fortune soon followed suit. Rumoured to have been stolen by the Nazis during the war it has now turned up at Sotheby's and the last of the Thorns is determined to get it back by proving the original sale false. Bartlemy joins his friend, Rowena Thorn, in her campaign. But the matter becomes complicated and sinister when Nathan discovers the body of the Austrian owner in the wood nearby and begins to experience disturbing visions involving the cup itself.

The concluding part of the captivating Sangreal trilogy from the author of Prospero’s Children. In the azure gloom he saw the island, not floating on the surface but moving through deep water, the rose-stained boulders swelling and shrinking like the bulb of a vast jellyfish. A skein of tentacles trailed behind it, fifty yards long or more. Something pale was tangled in their grasp, something that barely struggled now. He wrenched his thought away in horror, out of the sea, out of the dream, through the veils of sleep to his own world. Like most young people, when Nathan Ward sleeps, he dreams of adventure; of worlds beyond conscious imagination; of becoming a hero destined to overcome some lurking fear. But unlike most people, Nathan cannot relish such escapism, for his dreams are not fantasies; his journeys are real and the nightmares he faces can keep him from ever waking up. But Nathan cannot rest until he has found all three components of a great spell, each hidden upon a different alien world. The last piece is still missing, lost upon an oceanic planet infested with aquatic beasts. If he survives the mysteries of the deep, Nathan will be forced to confront the architect of his fate. For recovering the last item will reveal the true purpose of the great spell and make clear the intent of its creator. Nathan believes it will save all the worlds that he holds dear, but it may also demand a terrible sacrifice; one that Nathan has no choice but to pay.
