His Decameron hovers between the fading glories of an aristocratic past – the Crusades, the Angevins, the courts of France, the legendary East – and the colourful squalor of contemporary life, where wives deceive husbands, friars and monks pursue fleshly ends, and natural instincts fight for satisfaction. Giovanni will close his eyes for ever in the quiet of Certaldo, on December 21, 1375, a year after his worshipped magister, the second crown of Florence, Francesco Petrarca.

When a disturbing stranger named Dustfingers intrudes on their peace, she gradually discovers that the barrier between books and the real world is permeable and that an ill-fated read-aloud years ago unleashed Capricorn, who “would feed bird to cat on purpose.

Shapard Back in 2014 I read and reviewed Pride and Prejudice: An Annotated Edition edited by Patricia Meyer Spacks. I’m alternating between the annotated editions by Harvard University Press and the annotated series by David M. Although this is the first time it has taken me over a month to read (I blame my work). ![]() If you been here awhile then you may already know I like to spend the beginning of each year reading an annotated edition of a Jane Austen novel. ![]() Enriching My Understanding, Appreciation, and Love for Pride and Prejudice ![]() ![]() ![]() Reece Bryant is an average college student on Earth, or so she thought.Īfter setting out to finish settling the last of her father's estate, she is not only faced with the grief of the horrific loss of her father again, but bizarre paranormal events that eventually lead her into a thrilling, yet terrifying situation.Īfter being rescued by a enigmatic man who mysteriously battled and defeated two men trying to attack her, Reece is left with nothing but to trust this man for her protection.

Marsh set herself a harder task than Christie from the beginning as well, in that Alleyn is an actual member of the C.I.D. ![]() The puzzles and solutions are compelling, Chief Inspector Alleyn makes a very interesting protagonist (and the secondary characters are generally well defined), and her writing is vivid and descriptive without being pretentious. Many of the secondhand paperbacks I read feature this sentence from some New York Times book review: “She writes better than Christie.” And it’s true – even in her early books you can see the sophistication behind the plotting, the characters, the sentence structure. ![]() Most of the ones I read were from her earlier output in the late 1930s and early to mid-1940s, though I did read several from the 50s and 60s, and finished up my spree with When in Rome (published in 1970).
