She failed to mention it belonged to the man with the toughest heart in the world. “You know this is the toughest floor in the world?” That first time, Mama had elbowed my ribs. That day, I stood rooted in place on the same ironwood flooring that never creaked. I’d only been inside the mansion once before, when my family first came to Todos Santos. I was even stupid enough to think he’d forgotten I ever existed.īut when he came back, he hit harder than I ever thought possible. I didn’t believe her until I met Baron Spencer and he became my nightmare. That weird thing that bubbles in your chest? Same. My grandmama once told me that love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances. ![]()

![]() The earliest surviving manuscript for what is now the first 270 lines of the poem belongs to 1804. Intended as the introduction to the more philosophical poem The Recluse, which Wordsworth never finished, The Prelude is an extremely personal work and reveals many details of Wordsworths life. In all early manuscripts (1798-1800), the poem begins in this way, the broken line and the initial phrase implying a preceding passage and a known meaning for this.

![]() ![]() I have rated her works between 2-4 stars, though I usually enjoy her novels more than her nonfiction. To start, I will admit that I have a lukewarm relationship with Weir's writing. At its heart is our greatest Queen and the emotional truth of one of history’s most extraordinary love affairs. Played out amidst the splendour of the Tudor court and the most famous events of a great age, THE MARRIAGE GAME is a dramatic, complex and deeply poignant tale of intrigue, love and loss. ![]() Under mounting pressure to take a husband, Elizabeth encourages their advances without ever committing a delicate, politically-fraught balancing act which becomes known as ‘The Marriage Game’.īut treading this dangerous line with Robert Dudley, the son and grandson of traitors, could cost her the throne… ![]() The formidable young Queen is regarded by most of Christendom as a bastard, a heretic and a usurper, yet many princes covet Tudor England and seek her hand in marriage. Many believe them to be lovers, and there are scurrilous rumours that Elizabeth is no virgin at all. ![]() Queen Elizabeth presents herself as the Virgin Queen but cannot resist her dashing but married Master of Horse, Lord Robert Dudley. Bestselling historian Alison Weir brings all her knowledge of Elizabeth I to vivid life in a novel of intrigue, sex, plots, mysteries and tragedies, amid all the colour and pageantry of the Tudor court. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This all started to change in the mid-Eighties, when Hugh Massingberd became obituaries editor at the Telegraph and James Fergusson became his counterpart at the newly launched Independent: arid humour, walloping understatement and a fine new breed of euphemism became the order of the day, the collected books of obits became bestsellers and the 'morgue' became, if not quite the sexiest part of a newspaper, that conceit being a hard one to sustain, certainly the coolest.Īnd now the breed has fully come of age: not one but two recent books, Carl Hiaasen's Basket Case and Who's Who in Hell, the debut novel by the British journalist Robert Chalmers, himself a former contributor to the Telegraph obit pages, feature anti-heroes who work as newspaper obituary writers. Reverent, deferential and absurdly coy regarding what were often highly relevant parts of an individual's life - the Times, for example, managed to obituarise Dylan Thomas at length without once mentioning the fact that he had been known to wander into the occasional pub - they also dealt almost exclusively with establishment figures, many of them criminally dull. ![]() For too many years, 'obits' were seen as the dead arm of the newspaper industry, and that was about as good as the jokes got. ![]() ![]()
