![]() ![]() ![]() Readers will root for her as she defies expectations and refuses to be constrained by society’s conventions. Sallie Kincaid is a captivating character – feisty and fearless, yet also deeply damaged and vulnerable. Sallie navigates the complicated family dynamics and the murky politics of the town, ultimately emerging as a bold and daring bootlegger. She discovers a world of conflict and corruption, where secrets and scandals lurk in the shadows of the imposing Big House. Years later, Sallie returns with the intention of reclaiming her rightful place in the Kincaid family, but she faces unexpected challenges. Sallie tries to toughen up Eddie by coaching him, but her efforts result in an accident, and she is forced to leave the family at the age of eight. ![]() While Sallie is sharp-witted and resourceful like her father, her half-brother Eddie is timid and intellectual like his mother. Sallie Kincaid, born into a life of luxury and privilege as the daughter of the influential Duke Kincaid, remembers little about her mother, who passed away after a violent altercation with her father. ![]() Hang the Moon goes down easy… like the forbidden whisky that defines the life of Sallie Kincaid.” - Associated Press Hang the Moon by Jeannette Walls – book summary ![]() ![]() L'ultimo giorno felice is a short novel which Avoledo wrote for Legambiente, an Italian environmental organization. La ragazza di Vajont is set in a dystopian alternate Italy dominated by a fascist regime, and plunged into a seemingly endless winter. A movie inspired by this novel was released in 2013. The following Breve storia di lunghi tradimenti loosely alludes to characters (like Giulio Rovedo and Cecilia Mazzi) and situations of L'elenco telefonico di Atlantide, but it has a new plot set in a world of global economics and of industrial delocalization. Avoledo won the prestigious Grinzane Award with this fourth book in 2006. In the same year his first novel for Einaudi, one of the most renowned Italian publishers (which had also issued pocket editions of the former two), was released, under the title Tre sono le cose misteriose. ![]() ![]() His last novel for Sironi was Lo stato dell'unione in 2005. Mare di Bering, his second novel, was published in November of the same year. Avoledo could pull the reader into a science-fictional narrative involving a mysterious global plot and a character modeled on himself. It turned into a best-seller and won the Fort Village Montblanc Award for the best debutant writer. His first novel, L'elenco telefonico di Atlantide, was released in January 2003 by the minor Italian publisher Sironi. After earning a degree in law, he worked as legal counselor for banks. Avoledo was born in Valvasone, in the province of Pordenone (Friuli-Venezia Giulia). ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The humour was very much on some internet era, gen-z manic energy (again, something I always expect from this publisher), and as the kids of the generation would say "it's a mood". Stylistically this one was totally unique even for a Peow book, incorporating a number of styles which were used very effectively and always seemed accentuate the humour, and a really simple but bold two tone colour palette that really made the pages pop. For me, they are pretty much a buy on sight publisher and even when I don't absolutely love one of their books, I am always at the very least charmed and impressed with the overall aesthetic and packaging - truly some of the nicest books to look at on a shelf - and I'd say this one falls somewhere just above the middle of the pile in terms of the 20 or so books I've read from them and really had everything I'd come to expect and love. This has got to be the most Peow book that Peow published (.Peowblished?) yet, so I think it is safe to say that your enjoyment of this one will directly correlate to how much you dig their stuff. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We’re sitting in bed together looking at houses to share our son and our lives in and she asks that question. I looked at her as if she had just said the dumbest shit ever. “What are we going to do if, you know, you get married or something? I mean, it's something to think about if we're buying a house together.” We sounded more like a couple than a couple of roommates – until Emmy fucked that up with one question. I had ordered some food and we were having a perfectly normal conversation about where to buy and how many rooms we’d need. Later in the morning after we had a couple of hours of sleep, we sat on the bed with the laptop open looking at houses. When she began to stroke my aching head, I relaxed. A moment later, I felt her hesitant fingers slide into my hair. I climbed into the bed and put my head in her lap. “I feel like my head is going to e xplode.” “I have such a crazy headache,” I said as I took my shoes off at the foot of the bed. I wasn’t going to try to get into her panties this time, but I did need something else from her. Most of the time I su cceeded, unless the book was particularly good, then she shut me down. She used to sit in bed trying to read and failing because I was always trying to get into her panties. When I got back to the apartment I found Emmy in bed reading on the very kindle I had given her as a gift so long ago. I kissed L ucas and left before my sister pulled me into the kitchen for a talk. “I’ll be back for him before dinner,” I said. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is as well a de facto manual for growing and eating our way out of it.īrick is a compelling spokesman for Pollan's argument. Pollan's In Defense of Food is a richly developed polemic against the unhealthful food culture that the ideology of nurtitionism represents. For what else can one eat but food? And why does eating need a manifesto? Pollan answers that we increasing do not eat food (whole food) but rather consume processed "food products". Scott Brick narrates these opening sentences with slowly paced emphasis and a nicely modulated deftness, with a hint of coyness. Mostly plants." These are the first words of Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto. ![]() ![]() ![]() I didn’t want him to ask me about the huge folder I held. I stood and tucked the book under my arm. After years of art teachers, my parents, my grandpa telling me I had talent far beyond my years, this was hard to hear. You are exactly where you should be in your progression as an artist. You haven’t experienced enough in life to add that depth to a painting. They’re missing a layer, and that’s understandable. I want to feel something when I look at your paintings. “They’re technically good, but they look like you copied a picture. “What do you mean? What are my paintings missing?” ![]() “I have every reason to believe that they will be. The air went out of my lungs so fast it felt like someone had punched me in the gut. “But what if I sell a few of my allowed paintings? That would help you, right?” We’re a museum, not a gallery, so I don’t get to do this just anytime I feel like it.” ![]() This is my one and only fundraiser for the year. “We have limited space and I need every sale I can get to keep this place going. Are you really going to hold me back because I’m not eighteen yet?” But why? I’ve seen the art you’ve had in here for amateur exhibits. “You’ll be the right age next summer.” He patted the closed folder. “Abby, you will be perfect for the show when you meet the age requirement. ![]() After what felt like forever, he closed the cover and looked up at me. I’d blown up most of the pictures to at least ten by twenty. He began slowly flipping through the folder. I sunk into the chair opposite him in relief. “You’ve been doing your homework, I see.” ![]() ![]() ![]() AWARDS, HONORS:īest Books for Young Adults and Quick Picks for Young Adults citations, American Library Association (ALA), and Newbery Honor Book, ALA, 1998, Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award, 1999, all for Ella Enchanted Notable Book and Best Books for Young Adults citations, ALA, 100 Books for Reading and Sharing, and Books for the Teen Age Lists, New York Public Library, and Publishers Weekly Best Books of 1999, all 1999, all for Dave at Night.
