Born in 1975, Louise was living a happy, normal life as the much-adored only child of two loving and hard-working parents. But then, the tragic deaths of her father and grandfather within two years of each other turn her life upside-down.Having moved in with her mother's parents after the death of her father, Louise finds that her grandmother's increasing reliance on the local church for comfort after her husband's death draws a soon-to-be unwelcome guest to the family home: the verger, Mr. Jarvis. Whilst outwardly paying attention to her widowed grandmother, he also seems to be focused on Louise herself and abuses his position of trust, both at the church's Sunday school and in the family home, to force his unnatural obsessions on her.Even after Louise's mother remarries and she can finally look forward to moving away from Mr. Jarvis, Louise must endure one more harrowing attack before he is finally caught out. But even then, with child protection teams still very much in their infancy in the early 1980s, Louise still lives with the consequences of her unstable childhood.Warning: This audiobook is based upon a true story of child abuse, and as such contains passages that some listeners may find disturbing. ungekürzt.

The Fall (eBook, ePUB)

The sins of the past echo in the present in the new literary thriller from crime-critic favourite, Rachael Blok. The bigger the sin, the further the fall... With Easter approaching, the verger of St Albans Cathedral was supposed to be readying the church. Instead he discovers a man lying dead, fallen from the famous 150-foot-high tower. Did he jump, or was he pushed? For DCI Maarten Jansen, it's a simple case of suspected suicide. Until a witness, Willow, prompts a deeper investigation into a long-buried past, involving a psychiatric hospital, a pregnant woman, and fifty years of silence. As Willow's own family history entwines with the case, Jansen starts to wonder how everything is connected. The Fall is a haunting literary thriller about loss, trauma, silence, and how our past shapes who we are. Praise for The Fall: 'Twisty, suspenseful and deeply atmospheric' Harriet Tyce 'Lyrical, assured and simmering with suspense' Victoria Selman 'The Fall is a rare beast... Dark, atmospheric and truly original' Kate Simants 'Uncoils like the snapping of a whip, lashing the past into the present with the revealing of dark family secrets' Dominic Nolan 'Heart-pounding' James Delargy

Notre dieu est un feu dévorant (eBook, ePUB)

« La prière ? C'est bien trop compliqué ! Il suffit de voir combien de livres sur le sujet paraissent chaque année pour se dire que c'est une affaire de spécialistes... » Combien de livres un enfant a-t-il lus pour apprendre à embrasser sa maman ou à ramasser au bord du chemin un pissenlit pour lui dire son amour ? Lorsque Soeur Hortense était petite, Soeur Saint-Jean, au catéchisme, lui avait appris que, dans son coeur, habite toute une famille : le papa, Dieu, ; le Fils, Jésus ; et celui qui la conduirait toujours sur le chemin, le Saint-Esprit. Et qu'avec toute cette famille, elle ne serait jamais seule, car Dieu, Jésus, l'Esprit, sont des compagnons bien plus fidèles et plus présents que les meilleurs amis de la terre. Et Soeur Hortense avait pris l'habitude de tout voir et de tout vivre en compagnie de cette famille, traduisant en poèmes ce que la présence en elle de ces « trois » laissait déborder de son coeur. Poèmes à recevoir comme des prières, comme des fleurs de pissenlit au bord d'un chemin... À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURE Soeur Odile est moniale de l'abbaye SainteCroix de Poitiers. Un long temps de responsabilité à l'accueil lui a permis de constater chez ses hôtes un grand désir inassouvi d'intériorité. Depuis ses études de théologie à la faculté du Centre Sèvres à Paris, (Formation Universitaire pour les Moniales), elle anime à l'hôtellerie du monastère deux ateliers de Lectio divina et d'Hébreu biblique, ouverts à tous. Elle s'efforce également de mettre en oeuvre les principes de la permaculture dans le petit verger-potager de sa communauté.

Frida Kahlo: Her Photos

When Frida Kahlo died, her husband Diego Rivera asked the poet Carlos Pellicer to turn the Blue House into a museum that the people of Mexico could visit to admire the work of the artist. Pellicer selected those of Frida s paintings which were in the house, along with drawings, photographs, books, and ceramics, maintaining the spaces just as Frida and Diego had arranged them to live and work in. The rest of the objects, clothing, documents, drawings, and letters, as well as over 6,000 photographs collected by Frida in the course of her life, were put away in bathrooms converted into storerooms. This remarkable collection remained hidden for more than half a century. A few years ago the storerooms, wardrobes, and trunks that safeguarded it were opened. The collection of photographs is a treasure that reveals the tastes and interests of the famous couple, not only through the images themselves but also through the annotations made on them. The collection allows us to speculate about Frida s and Diego s likes and dislikes, and makes it possible to document their family origins. Photography had always been a part of Frida s life. Her father Guillermo Kahlo was one of the great photographers of Mexico at the beginning of the twentieth century, whose images of colonial architecture and numerous selfportraits have been preserved. Frida s collection constitutes a roll call of great photographers: Man Ray, Brassaï, Martin Munkacsi, Pierre Verger, George Hurrell, Tina Modotti, Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Gisèle Freund, and many others, including Frida Kahlo herself. It is likely that many of the photographs in the collection were taken by her, though we can only be sure of the few that she decided to sign in 1929
