NPR's Favorite Books of 2019

Rachel Cusk redrew the boundaries of fiction with the Outline Trilogy, three "literary masterpieces" (The Washington Post) whose narrator, Faye, perceives the world with a glinting, unsparing intelligence while remaining opaque to the reader. Lauded for the precision of her prose and the quality of her insight, Cusk is a writer of uncommon brilliance. Now, in Coventry, she gathers a selection of her nonfiction writings that both offers new insights on the themes at the heart of her fiction and forges a startling critical voice on some of our most urgent personal, social, and artistic questions.

Coventry encompasses memoir, cultural criticism, and writing about literature, with pieces on family life, gender, and politics, and on D. H. Lawrence, Fran oise Sagan, and Kazuo Ishiguro. Named for an essay Cusk published in Granta ("Every so often, for offences actual or hypothetical, my mother and father stop speaking to me. There's a funny phrase for this phenomenon in England: it's called being sent to Coventry"), this collection is pure Cusk and essential reading for our age: fearless, unrepentantly erudite, and dazzling to behold.

Описание: How well do you understand the saying, "Health is Wealth?" In this book, Lois opens up about her journey from being very fit and healthy to experiencing health challenges as a result of anxiety, which started in October 2017-barely one month into her arrival at the city of Coventry, UK, where she decided to pursue a yearlong Master's degree at the University of Warwick. In this book, Lois discusses what she has been through from October 2017 to March 2019. Furthermore, she discusses how she overcame each challenge she experienced. Lois also shares a newly birthed passion for helping people, showing people they matter, and promoting mental awareness, especially in her country of origin, Nigeria, where mental health awareness is quite poor. The book has been written in such a way that anyone can be inspired-old or young, religious or not, and with mental health challenges or not.

Описание:

On the night of 14 November 1940, Reverend Richard Howard, Provost of Coventry Cathedral, was one of four firefighters who climbed onto the roof to smother with sand the incendiary bombs that were landing not just on the Cathedral but starting a firestorm across the city centre. At around 8pm a fire broke out inside the Cathedral and, despite extinguishing it, they could not control the other fires which ultimately led to its destruction.

Howard writes "As I went into the ruined Cathedral on the morning after the destruction, there flashed into my mind the deep certainty that as the Cathedral had been crucified with Christ, so it would rise again with Him. How or when, we could not tell; nor did it matter. The Cathedral would rise again."

In this moving and detailed account of the years that followed, Howard describes how the building of the new Cathedral was planned; how the architects and designers were chosen; with what materials they worked, and what their designs mean. It closes with the sight of the new Cathedral finished and ready for Consecration.

Today, Coventry is a City of Peace and Reconciliation due in no small measure to the determination of Provost Howard to forgive those who had caused that terrible destruction. This brief and illuminating account of the Cathedral's destruction and rebuilding is an historic and inspiring document.

Originally published by Coventry Cathedral in 1962 but long out of print, this new edition has been produced by Coventry Lord Mayor's Committee for Peace and Reconciliation who believe this important document deserves a permanent place on the bookshelves of all those who love this city and care about peace. A new foreword has been written by John Witcombe, the Dean of the Cathedral, who says "Reading this book was an important part of inspiring and equipping me for my own work."

Most Revd. and Rt. Hon Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury says about this book

The story of Coventry Cathedral has been of deep significance in my own life and ministry, and is one which continues to inspire and move all those who hear it. It is a story of hope which will be told and retold through the ages. But there is a unique power in this account by Provost Howard, who not only knew the Cathedral intimately but who lived and breathed the very moments of its ruin and regeneration. In his story, we read how the extraordinary events of November 1940 and their aftermath brought Provost Howard to a new and vital encounter with Jesus Christ and the meaning of the cross. As he writes, 'On the night of its destruction, in an amazing and miraculous way, Coventry Cathedral became the living embodiment of the tremendous truth that, through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, all crucifixions in human experience can issue in resurrection'. This truth is the beating heart of the Coventry story, which Provost Howard proclaimed not only to that city but to the world. I pray that each person who reads this moving story will be inspired to find new ways to live it out today.

Описание:

Joan’s mother is Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, the most beautiful woman in the world. Her father is Henry II, the king of England and a renowned military leader. She loves them both—so what is she to do when she’s forced to choose between them? As her parents’ arguments grow ever more vicious, Joan begins to feel like a political pawn. 

When her parents marry her off to the king of Sicily, Joan finds herself stuck with a man ten years her senior. She doesn’t love her husband, and she can’t quite forget her childhood crush, the handsome Lord Raymond.

As Joan grows up, she begins to understand that her parents’ worldview is warped by their political ambitions, and hers, in turn, has been warped by theirs. Is it too late to figure out whom to trust? And, more importantly, whom to love?
