Throughout this collection, subtitled "Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things," Fulghum expounds his down-home philosophy of seeing the world through the eyes of a child.

The story occasionally drags, and the murder’s resolution seems almost like an afterthought, but Mejia adroitly charts Hattie’s development. When she falls in love, though, she decides to be honest about her identity and desires-with devastating consequences. A natural actor, Hattie consciously plays roles to please other people. The discovery of the body of high school senior Hattie Hoffman, found stabbed in an abandoned barn in rural Pine Valley, Minn., kicks off this engaging, character-driven crime novel from Mejia ( The Dragon Keeper), who examines the events leading up to the murder through three narrators-Sheriff Del Goodman, a Hoffman family friend Peter Lund, a high school teacher who tries to escape his faltering marriage through an affair with Hattie and Hattie herself.

Parable of the Talents is told from the points of view of Lauren Oya Olamina, her daughter Larkin Olamina/Asha Vere, and Lauren’s husband Taylor Franklin Bankole. It is the second in a series of two, a sequel to Parable of the Sower. Parable of the Talents is a science fiction novel by the American writer Octavia E. Here, Bew pierces Attlee’s reticence to examine the intellect and beliefs of Britain’s greatest – and least appreciated – peacetime prime minister.

Called ‘a sheep in sheep’s clothing’, his reputation has long been that of an unassuming character in the shadow of Churchill. ‘Easily the best single-volume, cradle-to-grave life of Clement Attlee yet written’ Andrew RobertsĬlement Attlee was the Labour prime minister who presided over Britain’s radical postwar government, delivering the end of the Empire in India, the foundation of the NHS and Britain’s place in NATO. ‘The best book in the field of British politics ‘ Philip Collins, The Times We still live in the society that was shaped by Clement Attlee’ Robert Harris, Sunday Times *Book of the year: The Times, Sunday Times, New Statesman, Spectator, Evening Standard* **WINNER OF THE ELIZABETH LONGFORD PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY** **WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING** They ripped him apart for being misleading when he was still courting her, only to abuse her in their marriage.
