Kimberley Freeman: Ember Island

Ember Island


Description

In a compelling, complex story from the bestselling author of Wildflower Hill and Lighthouse Bay, two women separated by a century discover long-buried secrets in an Australian manor house. In 1891, Tilly Kirkland is reeling with shock and guilt after her tempestuous marriage ends in horrific circumstances. Fleeing to the farthest place she knows, Tilly takes a job on Ember Island in Moreton Bay, Australia, where she becomes the governess to the prison superintendent's precocious young daughter, Nell. Tilly knows she must keep the past hidden in order to start a new life, but she doesn't know that Nell is watching her every move and writing it all down, hiding tiny journals all over their rambling manor home. More than one hundred years later, bestselling novelist Nina Jones is struggling to complete her next book. A reporter asking questions about her great-grandmother sends Nina retreating to her family's home on Ember Island, where she hopes to find her lost inspiration somewhere in the crumbling walls. Though they are separated by years, both Tilly and Nina must learn that some secrets never stay buried, but what matters most is learning to trust your heart.

This beautiful volume brings together 31 of the best-known tales collected by the Brothers Grimm, including 'Rapunzel', 'Hansel and Gretel' and 'Snow White'. Brian Alderson's translation stays faithful to the dark tone of the original stories, whilst Michael Foreman's beautiful illustrations capture their mystery and beauty - making this a must for any child's bookshelf. This passionate and provocative book tells the complete story of black music in the last fifty years, and in doing so outlines the perilous position of black culture within white American society. In a fast-paced narrative, Nelson George s book chronicles the rise and fall of race music and its transformation into the R&B Ember Island free download pdf that eventually dominated the airwaves only to find itself diluted and submerged as crossover music."
