Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From an Island Outpost As work interpreting life has taught me, as life sustained by work has given me. My first breathing spell in nine years; and during these nine years I have worked steadily, like a dray-horse, in the harness of necessity. Not once in all these years has that necessity loosened so much as a check-rein, - and there has been much uphill work, - to ease me mercifully till to-day. No wonder I am sitting here in the kitchen of this island home, half-dazed, partly numb, and wholly dumb save for the sound of this pencil moving over the paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outcast of the Islands When he stepped off the straight and narrow path of his peculiar honesty, it was with an inward assertion of unflinching resolve to fall back again into the monotonous but safe stride of virtue as soon as his little excursion into the wayside quagmires had produced the desired effect. It was going to be a short episode - a sentence in brackets, so to speak - in the flowing tale of his life: a thing of no moment, to be done unwillingly, yet neatly, and to be quickly forgotten. He imagined that he could go on afterwards looking at the sunshine, enjoying the shade, breathing in the perfume of flowers in the small garden before his house. He fancied that nothing would be changed, that he would be able as heretofore to tyrannise good-humouredly over his half-caste wife, to notice with tender contempt his pale yellow child, to patronise loftily his dark-skinned brother-in-law, who loved pink neckties and wore patent-leather boots on his little feet, and was so humble before the white husband of the lucky sister.

Download or read book Marooner's Island written by F. R. Goulding and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marooner's Island: Or Dr. Gordon in Search of His Children Marooner's Island has been prepared as an independent sequel to The Young Marooners. The author does not approve of sequels; but so many and so urgent were the requests for the continuation of his former story, that he was allowed no option in the case. The plan adopted in the former work, of imbedding in an interesting narrative as much information as possible of a permanently useful character, has been adopted also in this, and has been more fully carried out. Visitors to the coast of Florida will probably hear witness to the life-likeness of the scenes described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hurricane Island I had stood for some minutes, drinking in the better air, when there were voices near, suddenly risen out of the flood, and I perceived two men had landed. They paused by me for one to relight his pipe, and in the flash of the match I gathered from the dresses that they were stevedores, newly come, no doubt, from unloading some vessel. But my attention was taken off them unexpectedly by a great flare that went up into the sky apparently in mid-channel. It made a big bright flame, quite unusual in that resort of silent lights, and one of the stevedores commented on it.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Edgar Award for Best Novel “War, imprisonment, torture, romance…The novel has an almost operatic symmetry, and Kestrel turns a beautiful phrase.” New York Times Five Decembers is a gripping thriller, a staggering portrait of war, and a heartbreaking love story, as unforgettable as All the Light We Cannot See. nominated for Best Novel in the 2022 EDGAR AWARDS NOMINATED FOR BEST THRILLER IN THE 2022 BARRY AWARDS FINALIST FOR THE HAMMETT PRIZE 2021 "Read this book for its palpitating story, its perfect emotional and physical detailing and, most of all, for its unforgettable conjuring of a steamy quicksilver world that will be new to almost every reader." Pico Iyer December 1941. America teeters on the brink of war, and in Honolulu, Hawaii, police detective Joe McGrady is assigned to investigate a homicide that will change his life forever. Because the trail of murder he uncovers will lead him across the Pacific, far from home and the woman he loves; and though the U.S. doesn't know it yet, a Japanese fleet is already steaming toward Pearl Harbor. This extraordinary novel is so much more than just a gripping crime story—it's a story of survival against all odds, of love and loss and the human cost of war. Spanning the entirety of World War II, FIVE DECEMBERS is a beautiful, masterful, powerful novel that will live in your memory forever.
