![]() ![]() It doesn't help that the handsome detective assigned to the case seems determined to prove Mama's guilt or that the cowboy who broke Mace's heart shows up at the local Booze & 'n' Breeze in the midst of the investigation. This time, the trouble is real: Mama found a body in the trunk of her turquoise convertible and the police think she's the killer. One night, while settling in to look for ex-beaus on COPS, Mace gets a frantic call from her mother. Mama's antics―especially her penchant for finding trouble ― drive her daughters Mace, Maddie, and Marty to distraction. Meet Mama: a true Southern woman with impeccable manners, sherbet-colored pantsuits, and four prior husbands, able to serve sweet tea and sidestep alligator attacks with equal aplomb.

Read all the books in the New York Times bestselling Splintered series: Splintered (Book 1 ), Unhinged (Book 2 ), Ensnared (Book 3 ), and Untamed (The Companion Novel ). And it would be much simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didn’t show up for school one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderland-where she (partly) belongs.Ĭould she leave Jeb and her parents behind again, for the sake of a man she knows has manipulated her before? Will her mother and Jeb trust her to do what’s right? Readers will swoon over the satisfying return to Howard’s bold, sensual reimagining of Carroll’s classic. That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. Now all she has to do is graduate high school. She saved the life of Jeb, the boy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly appealing Morpheus. She was crowned Queen of the Red Court and faced the bandersnatch. Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He is shown to act on impulse most of the time, not considering the consequences before he acts. In him we see embodied the anti-Victorian idea of a ‘no-name’ working class man rising out of his own class into a higher one– he goes from being a hay-trusser to becoming mayor of the aforesaid Casterbridge. Michael Henchard, the novel’s tragic hero, is a man of “dogged and cynical indifference”, which is shown to the reader in almost every chapter. By examining selected characters and the way they intrude on both other characters and the town of Casterbridge, it becomes clear that this theme is to be regarded in a wider context – one of social distinctions, the changing world of rural Victorian England and the individual’s struggle against overpowering forces. Throughout the novel strangers appear in and disappear from Casterbridge, overhearing instances can be found in many a chapter, and the fact that “none of the major characters in the novel is a native of Casterbridge or even of South Wessex ”is one the reader can hardly forget. ![]() It is one of Hardy’s “Novels of Character and Environment”, in which Hardy creates a uniquely detailed portrait of rural life, inspired by Dorset, the county of his birth. The theme of the intruder, defined in the Collins English Dictionary as “a person who enters without permission”, is, although it might not seem so at first, one of the key issues of Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge. ![]() ![]() ![]() More than 100,000 follow him as on Twitter, where he ranks among the top ten most popular psychologists.
