Tayo carries this severely traumatic experience back home with him, where he is faced with hatred from his friends and family who resent him for his “mixed” (half-Pueblo and half-white) background. During the war, he lost his cousin, Rocky, who had been like a brother to him, and he saw the face of his uncle, Josiah, in the face of one of the Japanese soldiers he had to execute. Tayo has just returned home from World War II. This is what Ku’oosh, the medicine man, tells Tayo. “But you know, grandson, this world is fragile” (Silko, 35). ![]()

![]() The first book in a new culinary cozy series full of sharp humor and delectable dishes-one that might just be killer…. With the help of a lots of her family and friends, will Lila come away unscathed? Lila is working in her Auntie Rosa’s kitchen when her ex-Derek drops dead.However, I think in an effort to keep the series going, there were quite a few things that were introduced without more explanation that will probably be going into future books. As such, it was hard to really connect until the middle. It took me quite a bit of the book to really lock into all the characters and how they were related.There are a few really good twists in this book which, coupled with the humorous situations is a solid good time! I will definitely be picking up more in the this series as they are released. I always love stories about communities, especially new ones.As part of my challenge (to read all my books from them!) this one was included. ![]() ![]() In this remarkable history, Matthew Strickland provides a richly colored portrait of an all-but-forgotten royal figure tutored by Thomas Becket, trained in arms by the great knight William Marshal, and incited to rebellion by his mother Eleanor of Aquitaine, while using his career to explore the nature of kingship, succession, dynastic politics, and rebellion in twelfth-century England and France. details below, relating to the region around Coutances, are mostly from Matthew Strickland, Henry the Young King 1155-1183, (Yale University Press, 2018). Yet, consistently denied direct rule, the Young King was provoked first into heading a major rebellion against his father, then to waging a bitter war against his brother Richard for control of Aquitaine, dying before reaching the age of thirty having never assumed actual power. ![]() Crowned at fifteen to secure an undisputed succession, Henry played a central role in the politics of Henry II's great empire and was hailed as the embodiment of chivalry. This first modern study of Henry the Young King, eldest son of Henry II but the least known Plantagenet monarch, explores the brief but eventful life of the only English ruler after the Norman Conquest to be created co-ruler in his father's lifetime. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Urn:lcp:terrornovel00dans:lcpdf:6324a486-f6b9-46b6-b3fc-710fb817cad8 The Terror (pubblicato in italiano anche come La scomparsa dellErebus) è un romanzo storico dagli sviluppi horror e fantastici, ispirato a eventi storici documentati, scritto da Dan Simmons e pubblicato nel 2007.
