Описание: For millennia, men have told the legend of the woman whose face launched a thousand ships--but now it's time to hear her side of the story. Daughters of Sparta is a tale of secrets, love, and tragedy from the women behind mythology's most devastating war, the infamous Helen and her sister Klytemnestra. As princesses of Sparta, Helen and Klytemnestra have known nothing but luxury and plenty. With their high birth and unrivaled beauty, they are the envy of all of Greece. But such privilege comes at a cost. While still only girls, the sisters are separated and married to foreign kings of their father's choosing--the powerful Agamemnon, and his brother Menelaos. Yet even as Queens, each is only expected to do two things: birth an heir and embody the meek, demure nature that is expected of women. But when the weight of their husbands' neglect, cruelty, and ambition becomes too heavy to bear, Helen and Klytemnestra must push against the constraints of their society to carve new lives for themselves, and in doing so, make waves that will ripple throughout the next three thousand years. Daughters of Sparta is a vivid and illuminating reimagining of the Siege of Troy, told through the perspectives of two women whose voices have been ignored for far too long.

Описание:
"The fascinating story of arguably the greatest queen in sub-Saharan African history, who surely deserves a place in the pantheon of revolutionary world leaders." --Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Though largely unknown in the West, the seventeenth-century African queen Njinga was one of the most multifaceted rulers in history, a woman who rivaled Queen Elizabeth I in political cunning and military prowess. In this landmark book, based on nine years of research and drawing from missionary accounts, letters, and colonial records, Linda Heywood reveals how this legendary queen skillfully navigated--and ultimately transcended--the ruthless, male-dominated power struggles of her time.
"Queen Njinga of Angola has long been among the many heroes whom black diasporians have used to construct a pantheon and a usable past. Linda Heywood gives us a different Njinga--one brimming with all the qualities that made her the stuff of legend but also full of all the interests and inclinations that made her human. A thorough, serious, and long overdue study of a fascinating ruler, Njinga of Angola is an essential addition to the study of the black Atlantic world." --Ta-Nehisi Coates
"This fine biography attempts to reconcile her political acumen with the human sacrifices, infanticide, and slave trading by which she consolidated and projected power." --New Yorker
"Queen Njinga was by far the most successful of African rulers in resisting Portuguese colonialism... Tactically pious and unhesitatingly murderous...a commanding figure in velvet slippers and elephant hair ripe for big-screen treatment; and surely, as our social media age puts it, one badass woman." --Karen Shook, Times Higher Education

Описание: In the eleventh Woods Cop Mystery, Conservation Officer Grady Service is on unpaid suspension until spring, but--stubborn as ever--continues to patrol the Mosquito Wilderness, along with his complicated past. Service is off-duty through July 4 following a season in which Service and his unofficial partner (lifelong poacher Limpy Allerdyce) cleaned up on deer-law violators and poachers, closing more big cases in two weeks than most officers solve in their careers. His reward? He is summoned to Lansing, told he is on unpaid suspension, his badge, firearms, and truck taken. The rationale for the action is fuzzy, a questioning of his using a lifelong lawbreaker as partner. For the first time, Service has no duties and feels like he has been beached unfairly. But voluntarily on patrol, he begins to sense political shenanigans-an old foe lurking somewhere in the shadows. He could retire, but decides to fight, and enlists help from Allerdyce and fellow game warden and Vietnam Veteran Luticious Treebone. Clues accumulate: It seems someone wants to illegally commercialize the Mosquito. Grady realizes if he doesn't stop it, the wilderness will be destroyed. The tight story unfolds like a poker game, with one side bluffing and raising, while the other side keeps calling and keeping the game on until there is a final showdown.

Описание:
Christine Parker's life has been ruined and tormented for over three decades.
She soon realises she is not alone and that her perpetrator Richard Ellis has spun a massive web and ensnared many others into it, including his beautiful wife Helen Ellis and his cousin Madge Holland.
Whilst sex is very much on Richard's mind, control is what he craves.
Set over three decades on a large council estate in Manchester.
1970's starts with Christine being savagely raped and then almost being the victim of a brutal murder. As she tries to get on with her life working in the local bakery and having nights out at 'The Golden Garter' she realises 'he' is never far away.
1980's Helen's life is in turmoil when she realises what Richard is and tries to get in touch with Christine to warn her, not knowing all the while Madge Holland is being held captive at the hands of her husband.
1990's Christine's youngest daughter is also subjected to the hands of Richard Ellis; she confronts him for the first time causing all sorts of complications. 'You can abuse a mother all her life but never lay a hand on her children.'
The three women form a bond so strong that together they unite to overcome the web he has spun. However, he refuses to be entangled in his own thread.
It is only when Madge and Christine's daughter, Ella and Bess along with their friend Nessa Brown are reunited back with their old enemy Peter Lawrence. The day is saved....again. This time, it is not Richard Ellis they are dealing with. They already did that. It's his son.......
Are they strong enough to do it all again?
They have to do it...... They owe it to the 'Dark Angel' who gave every one of them hope, hope to live free of the evil born from the devil's spawn.
'When you can feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, hope is the beautiful angel who will help you with your heavy load'
Oh and me, I'll be here carrying what I can ....with hope'
