Echoing the tension and mood of Frankenstein, Wisniewski sends the tragic giant back to the blood red earth that birthed him. (This was the time of the Blood Lie, when hostile gentiles claimed that Jews were mixing the blood of Christian children with the flour and water of matzo.) David Wisniewski's cut-paper collage illustrations-which earned him the Caldecott Medal in 1997-are the ideal medium for portraying the stark black-and-white forces of good and evil, pride and prejudice, as well as the gray area that emerges when the tormented clay giant loses control of his anger. According to Jewish legend, the renowned scholar and teacher Rabbi Loew used his powers to create a Golem from clay in order to protect his people from persecution in the ghettos of 16th-century Prague. ![]() Golem is the Hebrew word for shapeless man. Retold from traditional sources and accompanied by David Wisniewskis unique cut-paper illustrations, Golem is a dramatic tale of supernatural forces invoked to save an oppressed people.It also offers a thought-provoking look at the consequences of unleashing power beyond human control. ![]() ![]() In this version of the story, the simple farm girl Aldonza (Dulcinea) of the original novel becomes the more sophisticated Dulcinée, a flirtatious local beauty inspiring the infatuated old man's exploits.Ĭonceiving originally Don Quichotte to be a three-act opera, Massenet started to compose it in 1909 at a time when, suffering from acute rheumatic pains, he spent more of his time in bed than out of it, and composition of Don Quichotte became, in his words, a sort of "soothing balm". The immediate inspiration was Le chevalier de la longue figure, a play by the poet Jacques Le Lorrain first performed in Paris in 1904. ![]() Massenet's comédie-héroïque, like many dramatized versions of the story of Don Quixote, relates only indirectly to the novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. It was first performed on 19 February 1910 at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo. Don Quichotte ( Don Quixote) is an opera in five acts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Henri Caïn. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Jasmine Throne begins an epic fantasy trilogy set in a world inspired by the history and romances of India, in which a captive princess and a maidservant in possession of forbidden magic become unlikely allies.

For some books, I’ll listen to one song over and over, for others, each scene has a different song, depending on the mood of the characters. Ha, well recently it’s been Kelly Clarkson’s Wrapped in Red Christmas album on repeat, but generally speaking, I have specific playlists for each of my books.

It’s technically part of a series, but can absolutely be read as a standalone! It’s probably the most “anticipated” book I’ve ever written, both my readers, and for me as an author!

All three lives are on a collision course with each other against the backdrop of the burgeoning civil rights movement and a nation on the brink of revolution. Casey Riordan is released from prison after five years and Pamela O'Flaherty has crossed the ocean and a lifetime of memories to find the man she fell in love with as a little girl. It is the spring of 1968 in Belfast and James Kirkpatrick has just lost his father under suspicious circumstances. In this sweeping and powerful epic the journey begins in the 'terrible beauty' of Northern Ireland during a time when conflict reigns and no one is spared from tragedy and sorrow, the time known as The Troubles. ![]() |
