Bloodline caprtures the moving and terrifying stories of the author's paternal relatives, who travelled from nineteenth century Russia to the New World, only to later experience violence, fear and sadness at profound levels. A brutal double murder in Nova Scotia of a beloved family patriarch and his wife; a deadly fire in Sackville, New Brunswick, that almost killed the author's father, as it turned out a hero that cold December night; and the Cuban revolution that forced other of the author's relatives to flee with only the shirts on their backs: this book has it all, and more. The book also describes the inspiring history of the author's recent maternal ancestors, who came from Ireland and settled in the "town of canals" – Lowell, Massachusetts -- in order to do what everyone there did: work in the massive, grimy textile mills.) Au also wanted to change the "About the author" to ( About the author: Lynne Cohen was a journalist for 30 years before she wrote Bloodline, which combines her talent for gripping, humourous writing and her profound love of family. A grandmother of three, a non-practicing lawyer and an amateur stand up comedian, Cohen lives in Ottawa with her husband. She discovered – in researching and writing about her amazing family – the beauty of and need for personal connections with recent ancestral history.
No Man's Land" is a surreal and terrifying place. It is a world empty of the living, consisting entirely of strange, often sinister interiors: spas that look like forensic laboratories; classrooms that fill us with vague, unsettling fears; offices; military installations; mortuaries....
Nothing is Hidden features both well-known and recent unpublished works by acclaimed Canadian photographer Lynne Cohen, beginning with images from the early 1970s. The book shows the consistency and depth with which she has mined her chosen theme of uninhabited domestic and institutional interior spaces. Depicting formally and not so formally arranged uncanny interiors, Cohen's photographs are sometimes wryly humorous, sometimes bleak, and frequently both. Her vision is informed by a profound feeling for the mystery in the ordinary, what is on the surface but out of sight. This is the first in a series of annual publications to be published by Steidl celebrating the winner of the Scotiabank Photography Award, Canada's largest contemporary photography award for an established Canadian artist. Scotiabank is a leader among Canadian corporations and internationally for its charitable donations and philanthropic activities. The award was established by photographer Edward Burtynsky with Jane Nokes of Scotiabank.
During the ?70s and ?80s, Cohen turned her view-camera toward classrooms, science laboratories, testing facilities, waiting rooms, and other interior spaces where function triumphs over aesthetics. In cool, functional offices, futuristic reception areas, lifeless party rooms, and escapist motel rooms, Cohen surveys a society of surface, contradiction, and social engineering. The occasional decoration added in attempts at individualism only serve to amplify their uniformity. In her hands, clouds peel off walls and forest glades invade indoor tennis courts. Cohen records the world?s ready-made sculptures, waiting to be framed by the photograph" -- Publisher's website.
Susan had worked hard these past few years to recover her self-worth, for herself and her children. She is back in the community, working again as Percy’s director for the beauty colleges, feeling more alive, and now able to afford a home for her and her children now that Missy is returning home. She found a nice cottage in an area of the city where Drew would not think to look. It was always at the back of her mind that Drew may one day find her, but she is determined to go on and, not live in fear. However, one can sometimes get too relaxed with this line of thinking. Drew does find her, kidnaps her more than once, wanting to have her without her children. He assumes that Benita and Harold would be free to raise them, and he can enjoy drugging and beating her as he did before, why not? She is his wife forever, and this time around he is more than ready to go beyond even his own limits. A murder does occur; is it accidental or intentional? During all this Dr. Cohen enters the picture adding an additional twist to her dilemma. Will she ever be rid of these two men, who enjoy making women miserable with nightmares and physical abuse, and creating permanent scars on her and her children?
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The little-known true story of Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, the woman who headed the largest spy network in occupied France during World War II, from the bestselling author of Citizens of London and Last Hope Island “Brava to Lynne Olson for a biography that should challenge any outdated assumptions about who deserves to be called a hero.”—The Washington Post NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND THE WASHINGTON POST In 1941 a thirty-one-year-old Frenchwoman, a young mother born to privilege and known for her beauty and glamour, became the leader of a vast intelligence organization—the only woman to serve as a chef de résistance during the war. Strong-willed, independent, and a lifelong rebel against her country’s conservative, patriarchal society, Marie-Madeleine Fourcade was temperamentally made for the job. Her group’s name was Alliance, but the Gestapo dubbed it Noah’s Ark because its agents used the names of animals as their aliases. The name Marie-Madeleine chose for herself was Hedgehog: a tough little animal, unthreatening in appearance, that, as a colleague of hers put it, “even a lion would hesitate to bite.” No other French spy network lasted as long or supplied as much crucial intelligence—including providing American and British military commanders with a 55-foot-long map of the beaches and roads on which the Allies would land on D-Day—as Alliance. The Gestapo pursued them relentlessly, capturing, torturing, and executing hundreds of its three thousand agents, including Fourcade’s own lover and many of her key spies. Although Fourcade, the mother of two young children, moved her headquarters every few weeks, constantly changing her hair color, clothing, and identity, she was captured twice by the Nazis. Both times she managed to escape—once by slipping naked through the bars of her jail cell—and continued to hold her network together even as it repeatedly threatened to crumble around her. Now, in this dramatic account of the war that split France in two and forced its people to live side by side with their hated German occupiers, Lynne Olson tells the fascinating story of a woman who stood up for her nation, her fellow citizens, and herself. “Fast-paced and impressively researched . . . Olson writes with verve and a historian’s authority. . . . With this gripping tale, Lynne Olson pays [Marie-Madeleine Fourcade] what history has so far denied her. France, slow to confront the stain of Vichy, would do well to finally honor a fighter most of us would want in our foxhole.”—The New York Times Book Review
