The people on the nutshell are descent people. They know their place, they know their work and they know not to question both of these things. But still some are asking themselves: What am I here for? Where are we going? And was it even my decision to come on here in the first place?

"Tell me about them", she says. "Well, then let me start at the end, lead you through the hinterlands. Here these characters have space to unfold, and I can study them at my leisure, as if they were special statues in a museum. I am the curator of this exhibition, let me show you around. In 60 pages I'm going to introduce you to this little world about entering adulthood and all the obstacles in-between, about sexual desires, and your own identity, about what it really means to grow up, and finally how not to compromise who you truly want to be. So, I invite you to let yourself fall into insanity, beauty, and a daydream again."

This book is written more in a descriptive way about the life of two sisters and their activities with or without their parents. From the first chapter you can see the character of the girls as of course different, but malleable when it comes to their parents. This can be discovered throughout the chapters. By reading this book, you can learn the value of a family in the life of some children. Even if participating in the activity or not, in the family, the girls are always positively surprised by their beloved parents. Their minimal description, in this book, is certainly full of good lessons. Not only that they are united, but this family is built so beautifully between the chapters, with almost all the characters playing their main roles in it. The reader is, of course, free to understand these lines as he sees fit, but he will certainly not be disappointed by the small lessons in it.

Will Manuel manage to make it out of the rail? Or will he fail to face himself, perpetuating his stay?

2020 Christy Award finalist *** Robin Windsor has spent most of her life under an assumed name, running from her family's ignominious past. She thought she'd finally found sanctuary in her rather unremarkable used bookstore just up the street from the marina in River City, Michigan. But the store is struggling and the past is hot on her heels. When she receives an eerily familiar book in the mail on the morning of her father's scheduled execution, Robin is thrown back to the long-lost summer she met Peter Flynt, the perfect boy who ruined everything. That book--a first edition Catcher in the Rye--is soon followed by the other books she shared with Peter nearly twenty years ago, with one arriving in the mail each day. But why would Peter be making contact after all these years? And why does she have a sinking feeling that she's about to be exposed all over again? With evocative prose that recalls the classic novels we love, Erin Bartels pens a story that shows that words--the ones we say, the ones we read, and the ones we write--have more power than we imagine. ***** "Alternating between flashbacks and the present day, The Words Between Us is a story of love found in the written word and love found because of the written word. It is also a novel of the consequences of those words that are left unsaid. Bartels' compelling sophomore novel (after We Hope for Better Things, 2019) will satisfy fans and new readers alike."--Booklist "Erin Bartels drew me in with a unique premise and held me there with her strong storytelling and complex characters. . . . Bartels has given her readers a novel to read slowly and contemplate. It shows a true love for literature that all book-lovers will enjoy and a deeply rich storyline that will keep you engaged until long after the final page is closed."--Life Is Story "The Words between Us is a story to savor and share: a lyrical novel about the power of language and the search for salvation. A secondhand bookstore owner hiding from a legacy of scandal, tragedy, and heartbreak must unlock the secrets of the past to claim her happiness. I loved every sentence, every word."--Barbara Claypole White, bestselling author of The Perfect Son and The Promise between Us "Erin Bartels has done it again. She's created a story that has set up camp in my mind and now feels more like a memory, something I lived, than a piece of fiction. The added benefit is that it's a story about books, some of the best ones ever written. If you are the kind of person who finds meaning and life in the written word, then you'll find yourself hidden among these pages."--Shawn Smucker, author of Light from Distant Stars "Vividly drawn and told in expertly woven dual timelines, The Words between Us is a story about a woman who has spent years trying to escape her family's scandals and the resilience she develops along the way. Erin Bartels's characters are a treat: complex, dynamic, and so lifelike I half expected them to climb straight out of the pages."--Kathleen Barber, author of Are You Sleeping

Focuses on how nuances of poetic form alter how we have come to understand cultural aspects of time. Figures of Time proposes radically new ideas about the very poetic ground of culture. Presenting unique close readings of six modern poets—Wallace Stevens, W. B. Yeats, H. D. (Hilda Doolittle), Ezra Pound, Langston Hughes, and T. S. Eliot—David Ben-Merre brings recent theoretical questions about the rhetoric of modernism and poetic figuration into current discussions in critical theory. He argues that poetic spaces, often disjunctions of sound and sense, disrupt our culturally inherited notions of time, reimagining with an often irrational and anachronistic backward glance what we take to be historical chronologies, psychological perceptions of time, and collective scripts about causality.
