The world holds its breath as the Tribulation force ventures to Jerusalem for the great meeting of the witnesses, where tens of thousands defy the Antichrist to sit under the ministry of their pastor-teacher, Tosin Ben-Judah.
Fiona Sweeney wants to do something that matters, and she chooses to make her mark in the arid bush of northeastern Kenya. By helping to start a traveling library, she hopes to bring the words of Homer, Hemingway, and Dr. Seuss to far-flung tiny communities where people live daily with drought, hunger, and disease. Her intentions are honorable, and her rules are firm: due to the limited number of donated books, if any one of them is not returned, the bookmobile will not return.
But, encumbered by her Western values, Fi does not understand the people she seeks to help. And in the impoverished small community of Mididima, she finds herself caught in the middle of a volatile local struggle when the bookmobile’s presence sparks a dangerous feud between the proponents of modernization and those who fear the loss of traditional ways.
“Vampires with bite and girls who bite back. A witty, exhilarating, and fresh take on an old tale.”
The discovery of a dead body shatters the tranquillity of a Cotswold village in Ann Granger’s second Campbell and Carter mystery. When old Monty Bickerstaffe finds a dead body in his drawing room it comes as a nasty surprise – the first of many.
The evening’s host is billionaire Edmond Kirsch, a futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a controversial global figure.
The memories, surprises and forced conversations prompted by the close confines of the drive reveal more about the compromises of their shared life than they would care to confess.
