![]() ![]() I really enjoy Kylie’s books, especially when I’m reading from the female’s perspective. This story not only explores Clementine’s journey into finding out who she was, but also explores finding out if she can accept being a new her, even if it means being without Ed.Ĭomplicated answer: Well, that’s what the book is for. And though she doesn’t necessarily want to try to start something again with him, nor he with her, they can’t seem to stay away from each other. On her way to rediscovering who she was before the attack, she comes across Ed, her ex-boyfriend who’s none to happy to see her again. ![]() The story focuses on Clementine who developed life-altering amnesia after a vicious attack. ![]() I finished Repeat in less than two days (however, I think many of you will be able to read it in one.) It’s an understatement for me to say that I liked it. Although I haven’t read all her books, that is a goal of mine, but considering I was given a chance to read the book before its publication date, I read it as soon as I could and it sucked me in. ![]() Kylie Scott writes stories that are not only romantic but raw and emotional and real, and REPEAT is no exception.Įver since I read Lick, the first book of the Stage Dive series, I’ve been enamored with Kylie’s work. ![]()

She did not document daily suffering in a ghetto, mass shootings or the struggle for existence in the camps. ![]() ![]() Her diary records little about anti-Jewish measures and ends before she faced the horrors of Westerbork transit camp, Birkenau and Belsen. Thanks to her father’s foresight, means and loyal staff, she survived in hiding from July 1942 to August 1944. She came from an assimilated German-Jewish family who found refuge in the Netherlands. This was odd because Anne was hardly representative of the 1.5 million Jewish children who fell victim to the Nazis. However, for decades after the war, there was apparently only one “Holocaust diary”, Anne Frank’s. Only a few have survived and they are prized as witnesses to the catastrophe. Yet these were the circumstances in which countless young Jews kept diaries in countries under Nazi rule between 19. Many readers of this review will have kept a diary as a youngster but few will have made entries in the expectation that they might soon be wrenched from home and confronted with mass murder. Helga’s Diary: a Young Girl’s Account of Life in a Concentration Camp ![]() ![]() Add a layer of amnesia post-1949, induced by politics and to anaesthetize pain, and you see why this city’s history is simultaneously so fascinating, and so hard to grasp. Shanghai’s strata is complex: there are the time periods, of course, but also nationality, be it Shanghainese, migrants from the countryside, or foreigners-French, American, British, Russian political affiliation, whether Communist or Nationalist, Axis or Allies place of residence – Concession, International Settlement, Chinese city? monied or poor. Spend a little time in Shanghai and it becomes clear that the history of the city can best be understood as a multilayered phenomenon: anthropologist Jie Li, in Shanghai Homes, uses the very apt term palimpsest: A manuscript on which earlier writing has been effaced but is still discernible. Luckily for us, Isabel shared her story with us in her memoir, Remembering Shanghai. ![]() ![]() ![]() We’ve lost one of the last voices of Old Shanghai with the passing of Isabel Sun Chao on March 13 2023, just a day after her 92nd birthday. ![]() ![]() They powers are growing but are strongest together.

The racist policy was dressed up as a way to make America better and stronger. It influenced government policy, immigration and mental health and would later inspire those in Nazi Party. The Eugenic’s movement that was full swing in the 1920’s where white supremacist used pseudoscience to prove that the white race was superior to all others.

In later statements he confirmed that he destroyed his artwork but disputed other claims by the principal figures in the fiasco. ![]() In 1992, with no more issues released, Columbia himself left the project under a cloud of rumors and accusations, including claims that he had destroyed his own artwork for Big Numbers #4. When Sienkiewicz withdrew from the series in 1990 after the release of the first two issues, Moore and his backers at Tundra Publishing asked the young Columbia to become its sole artist. At the age of 18 Columbia was hired to assist Bill Sienkiewicz in illustrating Alan Moore's ambitious Big Numbers series. ![]() ![]() ![]() I suspect that social media would have raised awareness of the film’s unique quality and helped propel it to blockbuster status.” In a new book about the making of the movie, “As You Wish,” Elwes (or perhaps his co-writer, Joe Layden) writes, “Looking back I only wish the Internet had existed in 1987. ![]() The movie is so eminently quotable that, in 2012, ESPN analysts spent a whole episode of “NFL Kickoff” referencing it as many times as they possibly could-a moment that was itself shared and lauded online for days. People found plenty of material in scenes like the epic Battle of Wits between Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) and the masked hero, Westley (Cary Elwes), and Peter Cook’s “mawwage” ceremony. Those quotable moments are also the reason why the movie’s fame has been amplified in recent years by the Internet, which specializes in distilling a movie to its catchiest phrase or its most sharable GIF. ![]() ![]() ![]() Aquatint Copperplate process by which the plate is “bitten” by exposure to acid.Precedes the English edition issued much later that year. ![]() First edition: with "Published June, 1934" on copyright page.
