Beschreibung

In "The Challenge of the Dead," Stephen Graham embarks on an evocative exploration of mortality, memory, and the haunting vestiges of humanity that linger in the wake of loss. Written in a lyrical and nuanced style, the narrative weaves together themes of existential inquiry and historical context, creating a profound meditation on the significance of the dead in shaping the living. Graham's keen observations are underscored by rich, atmospheric prose that immerses the reader in an intertwined journey through time and space'Äîwhere folklore dances with stark realities, revealing the complex tapestry of human experience. Graham, a distinguished writer with a background in philosophy and culture, draws upon his fascination with human resilience in the face of death and decay. His diverse experiences traveling through different cultures inform his perspective, enriching the text with a depth of understanding and emotional resonance. The book stands as a poignant response to the pervasive themes of loss and remembrance that permeate his other literary works, establishing him firmly within the canon of contemporary literature. Readers seeking a thought-provoking narrative that wrestles with life's ultimate questions will find "The Challenge of the Dead" to be an essential addition to their collections. Graham's eloquent prose and introspective insight invite you to reflect on your own connections to history and memory, making it a compelling read for both the thoughtful scholar and the casual reader.

    Blake's A Dark Anatomy has been called "impressive" (Publishers Weekly) and "a solid winner" (Booklist) and Dark Waters, the second book in the Cragg & Fidelis series, will leave readers hungry for morePreston, 1741. The drowning of drunken publican Antony Egan is no surprise-even if it comes as an unpleasant shock to coroner Titus Cragg, whose wife was the old man's niece. But he does his duty to the letter, and the inquest's verdict is accidental death. Meanwhile the town is agog with rumour and faction, as the General Election is only a week away and the two local seats are to be contested by four rival candidates. But Cragg's close friend, Dr. Luke Fidelis, finds evidence to cast doubt on the events leading to Egan's demise. Soon suspicions are further roused when a well-to-do farmer collapses and it appears he was in town on political business. Is there a conspiracy afoot? The Mayor and Council have their own way of imposing order, but Cragg is determined not to be swayed by their pressure. With the help of Fidelis's scientific ingenuity the true criminals are brought to light.

    The lovely Sacha Waverley, the daughter of an impoverished country Vicar, who is a brilliant Greek scholar, is almost as beautiful if in a very demure way as her cousin, Lady Deirdre Lang, who is much more sophisticated and worldly.
     
    So when Deirdre visits her at the Vicarage with a very strange request, Sacha finds herself perplexed by her domineering and demanding cousin.
     
           For Deidre has fallen in love with Lord Gerrard and is desperate to join him at his house party. The trouble is that she is already secretly engaged to the Duke of Silchester as she longs to be a Duchess and he is very rich and influential.
     
           Worse still the Duke has been injured in a terrible accident in a gun trap that has left him temporarily blind. And it is clearly Deirdre’s duty to go to him at his Scottish Castle to comfort and cheer him up as he has requested her to do.
     
             Instead Deirdre persuades Sacha to take her place as they are so alike and, although terrified of being exposed as an imposter, she is warmly greeted when she arrives in Scotland as Deidre and does so with aplomb.
     
             Inspired by her beautiful surroundings of lochs and moorlands she heartens the ailing but handsome Duke and soon she is in love. And he with her.
     
             But she is filled with dread of the moment that he regains his sight and can see that she is not who she claims to be!
