Shirin won’t stop wearing the hijab though she likes, and even needs, the power she feels it gives her over her own body. I was still so easily, pathetically, punctured.” She thinks she is weak though because she does get hurt: “I still cared too much. ![]() She also works out her frustrations physically by practicing break-dancing after school with her brother and some of his friends. ![]() Mostly she tries to tune it all out (literally) by listening to music all day through headphones that are invisible because of her hijab. ![]() Since the attack on 9/11, however, it has gotten much worse. Shirin has a virtual spike-covered wall around her to protect her from the slings and arrows of degrading, ill-informed, and cruel insults from fellow high schoolers and even high school teachers. Navid has an easier time adjusting than Shirin he is a good-looking male who can protect himself, and perhaps most importantly, he doesn’t wear a head scarf, as does Shirin. ![]() Shirin and her older brother Navid have moved a lot, because her parents are always trying to improve their lives. This short young adult novel about Shirin, a 16-year-old Muslim girl in 2002, born in America to Iranian parents, has won numerous awards, including a nomination for the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature in 2018. ![]() ![]() The plot itself is pretty easy to follow with few real surprises, but it’s entertaining and full of excitement right from the off, and the investigation provides plenty of opportunities for details of this world to be gradually revealed. There’s a lot of world building to cram into this alternate-history short story, from technology (dirigibles, aerial trams, mechanical servants) and supernatural creatures to magic and mythology, but it’s a delight to explore from start to finish. Whatever it is that’s stirring amongst the city’s supernatural denizens, it’s up to Fatma to put a stop to it. What at first appears to be a simple case of suicide (however unlikely that may be among immortals) quickly develops into a mystery involving djinn mythology, mechanical angels and flesh-eating ghuls rising from Cairo’s slums. ![]() Djèlí Clark’s intriguing urban fantasy A Dead Djinn in Cairo. ![]() When a djinn is found dead – exsanguinated, to be precise – it’s Fatma el-Sha’awari’s task, as an investigator for Egypt’s Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities, to find out how and why, in P. ![]() ![]() ![]() We saw them as they came out, in Shakespeare's writing order and then plunged a terrifying amount of money on seeing all eight in their chronological, historical order in four days, named "The Glorious Moment," in Stratford in the spring of 2008. ![]() Perhaps it was the RSC's performances of Shakepeare's History Cycle, from Richard the Second to Richard the Third in Michael Boyd's exhilarating productions of a decade ago. (The only historical fiction I read before adulthood was the Regency romances of Georgette Heyer). It was published in 1954 and has remained popular ever since but somehow passed me by. Unlike many History Girls, I never read the novel "Katherine" by Anya Seton. ![]() I can't remember when I first became interested in the Beauforts, the children conceived by Katherine Swynford by her lover, John of Gaunt, and later legitimised by their marriage. ![]() ![]() ![]() This version of the play is markedly different than Q1: there are about 100 lines that are in F1 but not Q1, and about 300 lines (including the entirety of 4.3) that are in Q1 but omitted in F1 there are also differences in about 800 words between the two versions. In 1623, the play was included in the First Folio as The Tragedie of King Lear (F1). The play was reprinted in 1619 (Q2), with some additional lineation and word changes. That version of the play is in itself confusing: some verse lines are erroneously divided or set as prose, prose lines are sometimes set as verse, and the book went through multiple changes during its press run, correcting mistakes, but also introducing new ones. ![]() The play first appeared in 1608 as a quarto titled True Chronicle Historie of the life and death of King Lear (Q1). The textual history of King Lear is complicated, from its first printing to how it is edited today. ![]() ![]() ![]() The latest letter, shared first with CQ Roll Call, is the next step in an investigation started in November after reports of makeshift nooses in detention cells in privately operated facilities. “And the Nakamoto Group responded to identification of weaknesses in its inspection methodologies with information that OIG determined to be false and misleading.” The two private contractors we asked for information refused to provide it, indicating that doing so was the responsibility of ICE,” they said. “The response to our investigation was distressing, revealing a failure at multiple levels. “Based on these concerns, it appears that there is no entity in charge of and taking responsibility for the conditions at ICE detention facilities,” the senators wrote. Elizabeth Warren and 10 other Democratic caucus members, including fellow 2020 presidential candidates Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey. ![]() That’s according to the latest letter from Massachusetts Sen. An investigation by Senate Democrats into the operation of ICE detention facilities by private prison companies just keeps turning up more questions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Top of Page - See also - References - External linksĪlice Hardy is a character in the film Friday the 13th, played by Adrienne King.

This is a slow-moving book, there are no big chases or overt threats, rather there is the threat of something under the surface as the reader is unsure who to trust or who has the most to hide. So there is something of a closed room mystery about The Lost Man, even though the death of Cameron Bright happens in the wide open air. Here your nearest neighbour is 3 hours away. ![]() Nothing for miles around but parched land and the odd cow. The environment is as much of a character as the humans who inhabit it. There is something hauntingly claustrophobic about the outback, at least when Jane Harper portrays it. Did he choose to walk to his death? Because if he didn’t, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects… The Bright family’s quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron. They are at the stockman’s grave, a landmark so old that no one can remember who is buried there. In an isolated part of Australia, they are each other’s nearest neighbour, their homes hours apart. Two brothers meet at the remote border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of the outback. Whatever had been going through Cameron’s mind when he was alive, he didn’t look peaceful in death. He had started to remove his clothes as logic had deserted him, and his skin was cracked. ![]() |
