5/31/2023 0 Comments Exit the Actress by Priya Parmar![]() ![]() Telling the story through a collection of vibrant seventeenth-century voices ranging from Ellen’s diary to playbills, letters, gossip columns, and home remedies, Priya Parmar brings to life the story of an endearing and delightful heroine. Despite his reputation as a libertine, Ellen wholly captures his heart-and he hers-but even the most powerful love isn’t enough to stave off the gossip and bitter court politics that accompany a royal romance. Soon Ellen is dressed in the finest fashions, charming the theatrical, literary, and royal luminaries of Restoration England.Įllen grows up on the stage, experiencing first love and heartbreak and eventually becoming the mistress of Charles II. As her roles evolve from supporting to starring, the scope of her life broadens as well. Educated at Mount Holyoke College, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Oxford, Priya Parmar is the author of one previous novel, Exit the Actress. She quickly earns a place in the company, narrowly avoiding the life of prostitution to which her sister has already succumbed. While selling oranges in the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden, sweet and sprightly Ellen "Nell" Gwyn impresses the theater’s proprietors with a wit and sparkle that belie her youth and poverty. From the critically acclaimed author of Vanessa and Her Sister, the debut novel hailed by New York Times bestselling author Philippa Gregory as “a vivid imagining of the restoration London of Charles II with Nell Gwynn as a powerful and engaging heroine.” ![]() 5/31/2023 0 Comments Lion Heart by A.C. Gaughen![]() ![]() She’s found the inner strength she’s always had, and she has a greater sense of who she is than she did in the previous books. Scarlet has truly blossomed over the course of the trilogy. ![]() But will their love be enough to save everyone once and for all? Together Scarlet and Rob must stop Prince John from going through with his evil plans. Even after a daring escape from the Prince, the situation still is shitty King Richard’s life is in jeopardy, and Eleanor of Aquitaine demands Scarlet to spy for her and bring Richard home safe. She’s been imprisoned by Prince John for months in a prison a long way from Nottinghamshire. Will Scarlet’s current situation is, simply put, pretty shitty. Though Lion Heart wasn’t as heart-stopping or fast-paced as Scarlet, I still loved the conclusion to the “Scarlet” trilogy. Gaughen’s writing ever since that fated day in February her command of the English language is astounding, and the plots she comes up with are compelling. 2012 was the year my (book) world ended because I discovered all things scarlet ― the book Scarlet, the character Will Scarlet, and the “Scarlet” series. ![]() ![]() After 1990 the designs developed exponentially in complexity, and today the crop circles display as fractals and elements expressing fourth dimensional processes in quantum physics. By the late 1980s they developed into pictograms, not unlike the petroglyphs found at sacred sites. ![]() Around 1980 they re-appeared as simple circles and rings in southern England, where 75% of designs are reported. They were witnessed by policemen and farmers as far back as 1890, they exist in the folklore of South Africa and China, and are mentioned in 17th Century academic texts. The evidence for crop circles as a genuine phenomenon is found in Freddy Silva's book Secrets In The Fields and throughout this site, whose factual research provides an antidote to deliberate falsification of the genuine phenomenon by skeptics, hoaxers and their allies in the media.Ĭontrary to popular perception, crop circles are not a modern phenomenon. Over 80 eyewitnesses since 1890 describe them to be made by tubes of light in less than fifteen seconds. ![]() Crop circles are scientifically proven to be manifestations of energy under intelligent guidance. ![]() |
