Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. The premise or rather construction of the story is not entirely new, but the way Natalie Haynes tells us the tale is imaginative, captivating and utterly engaging . She becomes a ‘dramatherapy’ teacher at the Unit, a service providing part-time education and therapeutic support to children who have been expelled or temporarily excluded from other schools. this is not a stand and deliver inspirational teacher kind of book, where troubled kids make good, but alex manages to obtain a kind of grudging respect from them, and the very special regard of one student in particular, who develops an obsessive need to find out everything about alex - where she goes, what she does, what is at the root of her palpable sorrow.

So, yeah, she feels distant to the reader, at times, because she has distanced herself from everyone and everything. After losing her fiancé in a shocking tragedy, Alex Morris moves from London to Edinburgh to make a break with the past. I especially enjoyed Mel and her story of becoming more and more obsessed with Alex, to the point that she wants to enact revenge on her behalf. Although I'm aware in a general sort of way what the more famous of the Greek tragedies are about, I've never really given them much thought, far less actually read them.Her most recent non-fiction book, Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myth was published in Oct 2020, and reached number 2 in the New York Times Bestseller chart. New York Times bestselling author John Connolly pits Parker against two separate—but vitally connected—investigations, which prove to be among the most complicated of his entire career in this “must-read for the author’s fans and a good introduction to the series for newbie” ( Booklist).

BookBrowse seeks out and recommends the best in contemporary fiction and nonfiction—books that not only engage and entertain but also deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In 2014, I praised the book’s atmosphere; the story, which I found gripping; its sensitive handling of Alex’s grief; and particularly Alex as a character, writing that she’s ‘one of those fictional people you instantly wish you were best mates with’. I also loved the characterisation in Linda Grant's story about an ex- it girl as an old woman living in a basement. An intriguing range of stories around protest, folk-lore, transformation, fairytale and historic fiction. An atmospheric, disturbing, even scary tale that touches on otherworldliness' THE TIMES 'Too-cool-for-school teenage girls, an outsider welcomed into their fold, and murder.Barrington Stoke is an award-winning, independent ​publisher, and the market leader for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers. In Tirwa, a town in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, she finds Angoori Dahariya, a Dalit who, after being evicted from her home by an upper-caste landlord, formed a cane-wielding gang of women to deal with abusive and unscrupulous men.
