Scott![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet the fragility of freedom and security became clear when, a century later, Rosalie's great-great-granddaughter Marie-Jos was arrested by Nazi forces occupying Belgium.Freedom Papers follows the Tinchants as each generation tries to use the power and legitimacy of documents to help secure freedom and respect. Subsequent generations of Tinchants fought in the Union Army, argued for equal rights at Louisiana's state constitutional convention, and created a transatlantic tobacco network that turned their Creole past into a commercial asset. In the 1830s, with tension rising against free persons of color, they left for France. A few years later, Elisabeth departed for New Orleans, where she married a carpenter, Jacques Tinchant. Freed during the Haitian Revolution, Rosalie and her daughter Elisabeth fled to Cuba in 1803. Freedom Papers sets the saga of Rosalie and her descendants against the background of three great antiracist struggles of the nineteenth century: the Haitian Revolution, the French Revolution of 1848, and the Civil War and Reconstruction in the United States. Her later efforts to escape slavery were the beginning of a family's quest, across five generations and three continents, for lives of dignity and equality. Those who enslaved her there named her Rosalie. Around 1785, a woman was taken from her home in Senegambia and sent to Saint-Domingue in the Caribbean. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons![]() ![]() The next day Robert meets with the local writers guild who were the source of the few bits of poetry that made their way to America. Krishna, a local intellectual who claims to have been asked to assist them by a mutual friend. Robert's Indian wife, Amrita, and their infant child, Victoria, accompany him on his assignment. The literary world considers this development newsworthy because Das disappeared and is presumed to have died eight years ago. Robert Luczak is sent by the American literary magazine Other Voices, where he works as an editor, to Calcutta to locate poetry alleged to have been recently authored by a legendary poet, M. The story deals with an American intellectual who travels to Calcutta, India, where he becomes embroiled in mysterious and horrific events at the centre of which lies a cult of Kapalikas that worships Kali.

Let me demonstrate the trajectory of my enthusiasm for this book: If we were to say that such stories hit the ground running, then, by comparison, what Witch King does is hit the ground and-after taking a minute to take in its surroundings-decide that maybe staying down here isn’t such a bad idea after all. A good example of this would be Glen Cook’s Black Company or its successor, the Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. ![]() Now, some books are really good at dropping you off in the middle of the action and letting you piece together what’s going on along the way. After finding a new mortal body, Kai must find out who betrayed him and his friends, and what happened during the time he was unconscious. ![]() The book opens with Kaiisteron, Prince of the Fourth House of the underearth (aka Witch King) waking up as a spirit around a year after his latest mortal body has been assassinated. I never read The Murderbot Diaries and, after reading the Witch King, I probably never will. (Disclaimer: This review was originally published on my blog at ) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The darkest mystery is ironically the last, as this is the final volume of the Tommy and Tuppence series (published in 1968). ![]() Intrigued by a love of Christie’s Miss Marple and Poirot mysteries, discovering this little gem at the library, I decided that it was time to branch into even more Christie series. It’s Christie at her most serious and best. Populated with quaint antique houses, musty village gossip, and a last hurray for the overly independent Tuppence, By the Pricking of My Thumbs combines classic, gothic horror with hard boiled sleuthing and even the odd dosage of humor. Beginning with a dismal visit to the nursing home to see Tommy’s cantankerous aunt, Tuppence discovers a lonely old lady, a picture, and the unremitting intrigue of an unsolved mystery. Strangely cozy at the same time as it is chilling, this Agatha Christie offering, written later in her life, is a dark mystery for the husband and wife duo – Tommy and Tuppence. Rating: A Ghostly Mystery and Tuppence’s Last Adventureįriendly witches, houses riddled with secret passageways, fireplace flues blocked by old, abandoned children’s toys, and a series of long-ago but never forgotten child murders imbue By the Pricking of My Thumbs with a sinister, addictive atmosphere. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments Cocaine Wars by Paul Eddy![]() ![]() According to the Inquiry: "The prime minister and Lady Pindling have received at least $57.3 million in cash. They were Prime Minister Sir Lynden Pindling and his cigar-chomping crony, Everette Bannister.Īccording to the authors of the Cocaine Wars, "it is fair to assume that they both felt they were owed something by the Bahamas because, when the time was right, they pursued those schemes with the rapaciousness of creditors out to collect a debt long overdue."Īs the authors note, "If in 1979 there was an incursion of armed criminals, by 1980 it had become an invasion."Ī review of Sir Lynden's personal finances by the 1984 Commission of Inquiry in Nassau found that he had spent eight times his reported total earnings from 1977 to 1984. ![]() "The Bahamas is being deluged with drugs."Īnd the plain fact is that all of the evidence collected over the years has identified two men - both now dead - as chiefly responsible for this unfortunate state of affairs. "The security of this country is being threatened by armed foreign criminals," a confidential report noted in early 1979. One famous Miami-based trafficker, nicknamed Kojak, told the Senate investigation that he had paid off Bahamian authorities "from the lowest ranking officers to the highest politicians." In fact, the chief of the Bahamian police drug task force himself, ACP Howard Smith, was on Kojak's regular payroll, according to testimony. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments Vicious book lj shen![]() ![]() And when you find someone who’s worth it-never let them go. ![]() It’s a reminder of how beautiful life is, almost overwhelmingly so, but that it is also heartbreakingly short.īe wise. ![]() The cherry blossom represents the fragility and magnificence of life.
