What I like about Amazing Grace – on the basis of the four episodes I’ve seen – is that it doesn’t look for the easy laugh to defuse all this drama. And there’s the small matter of Sophia (Alexandra Jensen), the heavily pregnant 17-year-old who turns up unannounced at the birth centre one day and reveals she is the daughter Grace gave up for adoption at precisely the same age. She hasn’t fully processed the loss of her own premature baby either, a tragedy that hastened the end of her marriage to Jim (Ben Mingay). ![]() At 34, Grace still has a lot of unresolved anger at the way she was raised by obstetrician mother Diane (Sigrid Thornton). Outside the centre it’s a different story. She’s the Captain Marvel of the birth canal. With her soothing voice, wafty clothing, and gentle exhortations to push, she radiates elegance, calm and encouragement. In the birthing centre where she’s set up on the grounds of a Sydney hospital, she’s unflappable. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Independent An enchanting book, an exquisite farewell, not only to childhood, and boyhood, but also to an England that has vanished. Review Quotes One of the great writers of the twentieth century. Cider with Rosie became an instant bestseller when it was published in 1959, selling over six million copies in the UK alone, and continues to be read all over the world. The sophisticated adult authors retrospective commentary on events is endearingly juxtaposed with that of the innocent, spotty youth, permanently prone to tears and self-absorption. She looked smooth and precious, a thing of unplumbable mysteries, and perilous as quicksand. I did not know what to do about her, nor did I know what not to do. She was yellow and dusty with buttercups and seemed to be purring in the gloom her hair was rich as a wild bees nest and her eyes were full of stings. ![]() The center of his world, that is, until he meets someone very special. Abandoned by her husband, Lauries adoring mother bes the center of his world as she struggles to raise a family on her own. Cider with Rosie is the classic memoir of growing up in a remote Gloucestershire village, a world that Laurie Lee makes tangibly real even as its now in a distant past. ![]() Book Synopsis The wonderfully charming and poignant memoir of youth in a rural English village-and a fatherless family-set against the backdrop of the Great War. ![]() ![]() A skill which seemingly reveals that madness could indeed be at the heart of everything. What if society wasn't fundamentally rational, but was motivated by insanity? This thought sets Jon Ronson on an utterly compelling adventure into the world of madness.Īlong the way, Jon meets psychopaths, those whose lives have been touched by madness and those whose job it is to diagnose it, including the influential psychologist who developed the Psychopath Test, from whom Jon learns the art of psychopath-spotting. Ronson's new book is provocative and interesting, and you will, I guarantee, zip merrily through it" Observer ![]() "The belly laughs come thick and fast - my God, he is funny. ![]() ![]() The Sunday Times top-ten bestseller from the author of The Men Who Stare at Goats ![]() ![]() He very slowly lowered the mug back to the table, leaned back in his chair, and said, “Why?” Ilya took a long sip of coffee, his eyes locked on Shane’s over the rim of his Ottawa Centaurs mug. Shane turned his gaze up, his annoyance radiating across the breakfast table in grumpy waves. “This week, you mean?” Ilya asked calmly. Shane had blurted the question out and was now staring fixedly at his poached eggs. Ilya glanced up with interest from the coffee mug he’d been spooning sugar into. The challenge of keeping their relationship a secret, and of not seeing each other as often as they’d like, has become more difficult with each passing year. NHL stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are about to start their eleventh hockey season as rivals on opposing teams, and their fourth season as a secret couple. This scene is near the beginning of the book. ![]() The Long Game is the sixth book in my Game Changers hockey romance series, and is the sequel to Heated Rivalry. ![]() ![]() Thanks for letting me share an excerpt from my new book.

London, National Portrait Gallery, Chalk drawing (1850) of Charlotte Charlotte Brontë (Mrs A.B. ![]() ![]() ![]() … Nobody opens a book and looks at print … We read print, but we look at manuscript, because manuscript carries the intrinsic signification of the individual who made it.” Reading is an entirely different kind of behavior. “The notion of an observing citizenry somehow sharing the governance of society, this again is a print-created idea.” The idea of the public, this concept did not exist before newspapers.” “The idea of the individual is a post-Medieval concept legitimized by print. And this is in fact how I think reality was seen until the rise of modern science.” And, naturally, if the book is the central metaphor for reality, then reality itself is seen as somehow literary, somehow textual. It’s the idea that somehow the career of the word is the central, overarching metaphor of the age. “So really, like for Joyce, for McLuhan the book is the central symbol of the age, the central mystery of our time. “Nothing is now unconscious if your data-search commands are powerful enough.” ![]() “Joyce is, in ‘The Wake’, making his own alchemeric cave drawings of the entire history of the human mind in terms of its basic gestures and postures during all phases of human culture and technology.” “In McLuhan there is a very deep strain of nostalgia for the essence of the Medieval world of what he called ‘manuscript culture’.” “McLuhan was synonymous with incomprehensibility in the Sixties.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She would never attempt such an underhanded scheme, especially not with a man as haughty or sought-after as Norwood. Miss Charlotte Hurst may be a wallflower, but she’s no shrinking violet.

It is full of multi-colored arrows crossing the Rhine and the Danube and suggests powerful invading forces wreaking havoc on an already divided empire. ![]() ![]() One such map, dated 1934 and entitled “Barbarian Migrations,” purports to show the collapse of the western empire in the fourth and fifth centuries and the subsequent creation of new barbarian kingdoms in the fifth and sixth. So we had them framed and they now decorate the department halls. However, whatever their faults, many of these old maps were things of beauty, lovingly produced by dedicated scholars of two generations ago. We stored all the old pull-down maps that a younger generation may not even remember, but which were used to instruct me and I in turn used to instruct my students until then. Several years ago, my department deployed computer projectors to show maps, images, or whatever in our classes. ![]() |
