The Clackity makes a deal with Evie to help get Des back in exchange for the ghost of John Jeffrey Pope, a serial killer who stalked Blight Harbor a hundred years earlier. There she meets The Clackity, a creature who lives in the shadows and seams of the slaughterhouse. But when her aunt disappears into the building, Evie goes searching for her. Des doesn’t have many rules except one: Stay out of the abandoned slaughterhouse at the edge of town.

"Delightful and absorbing." - The New York Times It is a love story, but not one you have read before. Depressing because most times there seems to be no way out, no way for thirty four year old Elizabeth to rise from all that is happening in her life, all that has happened. I found this to be such a depressing read. Race, privilege, dysfunctional family relationships, imperfect friendships, the struggles of a working mother and wife who is depressed, so many unmet needs and wants - all packed into this novel. In Want, Lynn Steger Strong explores the subtle violences enacted on a certain type of woman when she dares to want things―and all the various violences in which she implicates herself as she tries to survive. Sasha is facing a crisis, too, and perhaps after years apart, their shared moments of crux can bring them back into each other’s lives. When she reaches out to Sasha, her long-lost childhood friend, it feels almost harmless―one of those innocuous ruptures that exist online, in texts. As she tries to balance her dream and the impossibility of striving toward it while her work and home lives feel poised to fall apart, she wakes at ungodly hours to run miles by the icy river, struggling to quiet her thoughts. Years after coming to New York to try to build a life, she has found herself with two kids, a husband, two jobs, a PhD―and now they’re filing for bankruptcy. Grappling with motherhood, economic anxiety, rage, and the limits of language, Want is a fiercely personal novel that vibrates with anger, insight, and love.Įlizabeth is tired.

New books keep coming out about the Rosenbergs, particularly about 37-year old, matronly-looking Ethel, who allegedly only typed up information. To this day, the fast-paced trial and the execution - during peacetime - remain controversial. President Eisenhower refused to invoke executive clemency, making it clear that he believed in their guilt, as did many people around the world. The Rosenbergs maintained their innocence to the day they died, though they were executed at Sing Sing on June 19, 1953. Seventy years ago this past spring, husband and wife Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted for spying for the Soviet Union, largely on testimony against them by Ethel’s brother David Greenglass, who worked at the Atomic Lab at Los Alamos, New Mexico.

But I couldn’t (not yet) come and I didn’t know where I was to come to. Do you remember? The colour and the smell, and looking across at the Grey Mountain in the distance? And because it was so beautiful, it set me to longing, always longing. It was on happy days when we were up there on the hills, the three of us, with the wind and the sunshine… where you couldn’t see Glome or the palace. “I have always-at least, ever since I can remember-had a kind of longing for death… It was when I was happiest that I longed most. Psyche is reassuring her sister, telling her that she is not afraid of death but rather feels like it will be the beginning of a true life some part of her has always longed for.
