Hardy remarried a woman named Florence Dugdale in 1914. His wife’s death in 1912 inspired some of his most memorable works of poetry. For the thirty-two years of his life after the publication of Jude the Obscure, Hardy wrote only poetry and drama. There, in his beloved homeland, he wrote many of his major novels: The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), The Woodlanders (1887), Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891), The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved (1892), and his final novel, Jude the Obscure (1895).

CharlesKim, who initially is as unreliable, and irresistible, makes use of Will’s connection, turning the bookseller’s finally neatened world into one more secretive, criminal, and underhanded. While at the club Will meets a one-time military compatriot. It becomes the focus of the plot and the continuously fractured romance between Will and Kim. The club is glamorous but seedy, clearly a haven for nefarious doings of all sorts. The story opens with Will taking best friend Maisie to the High-Low Club for an evening on the town. With the four key characters-Will Darling, Kim Secretan, Maisie Jones, and Phoebe Stephens-Prince-firmly established Charles is able to expand the action both in terms of romance and adventure. Although a standalone story it is decidedly a sequel and needs the previous book to set the context. The Sugared Game takes up a few months after the events of Slippery Creatures. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Juliet a novel anne fortierThis is a fun novel, a good beach read, featuring Juliet, a young American woman (though born in Italy) who inherits a safety deposit box in Siena, Italy when her godmother passes away. (Unless it's a terrible story but just work with me here.) Read more * Thought the story was more of a three rather than a four but after the book had finished, I found myself missing the characters and wondering what they were up to - so obviously, the book left an impression on me and that my friend, is the mark of a well executed work. * Juliet, who doesn't know Italian, was able to read an Italian manuscript - her knowledge of Italian comes and goes as the story progresses and gets a bit annoying * Thoroughly research of the Middle Ages. * The romance was kind of predictable which since this is a metaliterature of Romeo and Juliet, we shouldn't be surprised but honestly? I wanted the author to give us something a bit more challenging. With that being said, it should be obvious at times the book got a bit messy. * I enjoyed the hidden summaries that were preceded by, "So let me get this straight." as the book sometimes got a bit off course and those hidden summaries righted you on the path again. * The story, which takes place mainly in Sienna, Italy, is so atmospheric and descriptive, I feel as if I know the city by heart I'm just going to input my notes rather than some kind of cohesive review: There is a cult which knows truth that their local scientists will not accept, but they have cloaked these truths in religious language and mystique. One story is somewhat heavy handed about the ends justifying any means - but the author's note before this story said that the author did not really agree with this, and it was just what it seemed natural for the characters he was writing to believe. In one story where this is not the case, it is played for laughs that everyone who is in love immediately wants to get married. When romance is an issue, there is often also sexual activity outside of marriage. The preservation or protection of life tends to be a common ground with many stories, but then the question is, whose life? Are equally sentient aliens to be expendable when humans are on the line? Is it acceptable when humans are put at risk for self-aware AI? This is a collection of short stories ranging in subject from a cult on a world which almost always lives in daylight, to a planetary mass mind, artificial intelligences, disembodied souls, religion among animals, and alien curiosity about human means of reproduction.
