There are three different plot strands: Bridge, who’s struggling to find purpose in high school after being in a car accident that separated her from her best friends, Sherm, who’s writing letters to his absent grandfather, and the mystery girl, who’s done something unspeakable.Īll of these strands were interesting, and that’s not normally the case with structures like this. Goodbye Stranger is so well crafted because it makes sure there’s always something going on, with a hint of mystery around the edge. I’m pleased to say, once I’d finished it, it continued to tick boxes…and make me want to eat cinnamon toast. So, Goodbye Stranger definitely ticked boxes on paper. Recently, I’ve been wanting to give middle grade more of a chance, and coming-of-age is one of my favourite sub-genres.

My child, my little one, For fans of I Am Enough, The Day You Begin, and The Wonderful Things You Will Be, here is a poignant picture book about how family and community help shape the wonderful people our children become. I wouldn’t let him make me feel small or pathetic. I would not let him intimidate me out of this. I drew myself up straighter, girding myself. “I thought we were all talked out after our last private chat.” Logan’s stance had already tensed when I’d come in, but now his shoulders went slightly more rigid. “I needed to talk to you,” I said instead, figuring it was best to get straight to the point. Honestly, even if I hadn’t asked an abrupt question, Logan seemed to take offense to just about everything I said these days. I groped for a way to smooth over the situation and decided there really wasn’t any. What are you doing here? We’re not heading out until tonight, when the bar’ll be open and busy.” Nudging the cards into a straight formation, he slid them into the box that’d been sitting on the desk next to him and then shoved that into the desk’s drawer. “What are those for?” I blurted out as Logan’s head jerked up at my entrance. They weren’t playing cards but tarot cards by the look of them. That was strange enough that my eyes darted to the images on the cards, and I realized it was even odder than I’d initially thought. I pulled it open and found Logan sitting on the edge of the computer desk, shuffling a deck of cards. The door to the Vigil office hadn’t completely closed, the latch just slightly ajar. The story takes one from the desolate ice fields of Antarctica, to the seaweed and salt choked shores of Nova Scotia before rushing through the streets of London and racing to a conclusion on an historic Scottish island. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.īy Amazon Reader OctoFormat: Kindle Edition This is the second of the Raymond Armstrong series and in it we learn a bit more about Raymond and his new partner in life and sleuthing - Anne. One of the most significant unsolved crimes in British history! Meanwhile, MI6 are watching Raymond’s every move, as he gets closer to unravelling a cover up the government have kept secret for over one hundred years. The discovery of more whisky from Shackleton’s Endurance expedition, followed by two more thefts, brings the story to a climatic game of cat & mouse between Raymond and the thief. Raymond is convinced the masonic piece is a direct connection to Sir Ernest Shackleton, the heroic explorer and Queen Alexandra of Great Britain. Raymond suspects the British government have a secret department within the national archives that is protecting sensitive historic facts. A series of incidents leads Raymond back to his ex-employer, who strongly advise him to drop the inquiry. Only a rare scotch whisky, jewellery and one masonic item were taken. Former MI6 operative Raymond Armstrong is approached by a colleague to help investigate a curious robbery. Following several warmly received works came, in 1961, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, which secured Spark’s fame, and which is largely considered today to be her masterpiece. While living in London, she wrote and published her first, The Comforters (1957), the proceeds from which freed Spark to pursue writing full-time. Though she began writing seriously thereafter, primarily poetry and literary criticism, it wasn’t until after her conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1954 that Spark developed the scope of vision necessary to begin writing novels. Consequently, Muriel left both her husband and newborn son Robin in 1940, and returned to the United Kingdom in 1944, where she worked in military intelligence until the end of World War II. In 1937, Muriel married Sidney Oswald Spark and moved with him to Southern Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe), but soon discovered that Sidney was manic-depressive and prone to violence. From 1923 to 1935, she attended the James Gillespie’s School for Girls-a model for the Marcia Blaine School featured in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie-going on from there to teach English and then to work as a secretary in a department store. Born in Edinburgh to a Jewish father and Presbyterian mother, Muriel Spark (then Muriel Camberg) was herself raised as a Presbyterian. This list was created as per the author’s own pdf file that she entitled: “Complete Timeline of Otherworld Stories”. Once this is over, she’ll be squared with the Pack and free to live life as a human. When the Pack leader calls asking for her help fighting a sudden uprising, she only agrees because she owes him. So she left the Pack and returned to Toronto where she’s trying to live as a human. Worst of all, she realizes she’s growing content with that life, with being that person. Tired of a world that not only accepts the worst in her- her temper, her violence-but requires it. Tired of a life spent hiding and protecting, a life where her most important job is hunting down rogue werewolves.

Particularly as an African-American woman, I knew that, on the surface, that story could sound one way. It’s such a potentially risky subject - to write about your mother who is making a living through illegal means. But most importantly, I understood that she couldn’t have been who she was outside of the context of the life she found herself in. I’m sure my old background as a journalist plays a part in that. It’s a way to write, whether it’s fiction or nonfiction, for me: It’s how the story comes, and that’s what fascinates me about story. She was fascinating, and I could’ve just written about her without adding that cultural context, but that’s not really who I am. It felt to me that it’d be harder to understand her outside of that. I always understood it was going to be more about more than my mother - or, to say that better, about her inner world. The argument, implicitly, is that her story reflects her place and time. You combine a biography of her with a deep foray into her Detroit community and the time period overall. In 2020 they won the Nebula Award for fantasy novelette Carpe Glitter.
