Illumination Night

Vonny lives on the island of Martha's Vineyard with her husband Andre and son Simon. Their neighbour Elizabeth, a woman in her seventies, falls from an upstairs window and her granddaughter Jody is summoned to nurse her through her convalescence.

The scene is set for a magical story of love and loneliness, of terror and human frailty, of the mystery and grace of ordinary experience. Alice Hoffman's ability to fuse the domestic and the mythic in a narrative of such gentle yet magnetic force confirms her stature as one of the most gifted of American novelists.

The Rants, Raves and Thoughts of Mao Zedong: The Dictator in His Own Words and Those of Others

The Rants, Raves and Thoughts series examines the speeches and writings of a variety of the world's high-profile totalitarian dictators and terrorist leaders, in a highly unusual and original way. The books also feature political jokes by their contemporaries, both friends and enemies, and the dictator's own opinions of other world leaders. The goals and inspiration of these books is to seek to explain what makes dictators and terrorists so ruthless, in their own words and in the words of others. To let these evidently psychotic people reveal who they are, what they believe and what they hope to achieve and to strike a blow for the freedom to say and publish what we want about them.
