Synopsis Stone Angels by : Michael Hartigan

Guilt will always find you. Augustine Shaw knows this better than most. No matter how far he goes, he can't escape the tragedies that punctured his college life in Providence, Rhode Island. Augustine is poisoned by the heartache he caused, the reputations he shattered, the two friends he killed. Now, the lies he told to keep it all secret are crumbling. Augustine seeks relief in a spring break road trip to Key West, where he hopes the sun, sex and insobriety will drown his past. The reprieve is temporary. On the long, dark road home Augustine is forced to relive the erratic series of events that changed his life, and ended others. Augustine races towards a final decision: bury his secrets forever, or seek redemption in the arms of a full confession. ..".I went at this book on a sleepy evening, and woke up in a hurry, and it went that way until the last word of all" - Tom Sheehan, award-winning short story writer and author of A Collection of Friends and more

Synopsis The Stone Angel by : Margaret Laurence

The Stone Angel, The Diviners, and A Bird in the House are three of the five books in Margaret Laurence's renowned "Manawaka series," named for the small Canadian prairie town in which they take place. Each of these books is narrated by a strong woman growing up in the town and struggling with physical and emotional isolation. In The Stone Angel, Hagar Shipley, age ninety, tells the story of her life, and in doing so tries to come to terms with how the very qualities which sustained her have deprived her of joy. Mingling past and present, she maintains pride in the face of senility, while recalling the life she led as a rebellious young bride, and later as a grieving mother. Laurence gives us in Hagar a woman who is funny, infuriating, and heartbreakingly poignant. "This is a revelation, not impersonation. The effect of such skilled use of language is to lead the reader towards the self-recognition that Hagar misses."—Robertson Davies, New York Times "It is [Laurence's] admirable achievement to strike, with an equally sure touch, the peculiar note and the universal; she gives us a portrait of a remarkable character and at the same time the picture of old age itself, with the pain, the weariness, the terror, the impotent angers and physical mishaps, the realization that others are waiting and wishing for an end."—Honor Tracy, The New Republic "Miss Laurence is the best fiction writer in the Dominion and one of the best in the hemisphere."—Atlantic "[Laurence] demonstrates in The Stone Angel that she has a true novelist's gift for catching a character in mid-passion and life at full flood. . . . As [Hagar Shipley] daydreams and chatters and lurches through the novel, she traces one of the most convincing—and the most touching—portraits of an unregenerate sinner declining into senility since Sara Monday went to her reward in Joyce Cary's The Horse's Mouth."—Time "Laurence's triumph is in her evocation of Hagar at ninety. . . . We sympathize with her in her resistance to being moved to a nursing home, in her preposterous flight, in her impatience in the hospital. Battered, depleted, suffering, she rages with her last breath against the dying of the light. The Stone Angel is a fine novel, admirably written and sustained by unfailing insight."—Granville Hicks, Saturday Review "The Stone Angel is a good book because Mrs. Laurence avoids sentimentality and condescension; Hagar Shipley is still passionately involved in the puzzle of her own nature. . . . Laurence's imaginative tact is strikingly at work, for surely this is what it feels like to be old."—Paul Pickrel, Harper's

Synopsis Stone Angels by : Kyle O'Dell

In the beginning was recreated the heavens and the new earth. This is romantic and blooming white roses at the moment of creation. Her face is nirvana and the stars bring glory to her countenance as the suns and planets. This is legend become myth. Now is her blond hair through moments of recreation and nebular romance. The lords and princes are here bowing to her grace, forever in her lucidity. This light in awe of it, waters and streams flowing electric and saturated in her mourning, light on rain in waves falling. Here are spring rain poets on the nod. Here are trumpets from anceint city states playing her tone. Blue and green in lovely romantic gloryesqe ceasarian grace. The writers of beyond dream the notes the sails to the beyond dream lands. So here you are in her face, hands, eyes like strawberry feilds laying down looking up at the new havens and dream...blue. Fire and romantic burns looking at it, faust and also macbeth and lords of night. Beauty. She is the genesis and the revelation.
