In the early morning darkness in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, a young woman runs away from a lakeside estate and into the mountains. She has blood on her hands; she has left behind a dead body, the remnants of a corporate Christmas party, a collage of evidence implicating her in murder. As dawn breaks she tries to plot a path to save herself. Outside the company politics, Quentin Edwards finds her trail. He is a nobody from Christchurch suburbs, a minor congregant from a local evangelical church that is expanding internationally. Quentin believes in the girl’s innocence; he is led out of the South Island high country to the deserts of North America, the casinos and highways. He is led into violence and death; he is hunted by the law and by the corrupt. In his world that has been turned upside-down, he dreams of victory over evil, salvation.

In the tiny hamlet of Aswat, far to the south of the royal capital, a beautiful young girl wants more than the meagre prospects her village offers. Determined and resourceful, she is quick to leap upon an opportunity when the great seer Hui, who is also physician to Pharaoh, visits Aswat to commune with its god, Wepwawet. Taken under Hui’s wing to become a healer, she has no idea of his real plans for her—plans that will bring her close to Pharaoh as his favourite concubine, but will ultimately enmesh her in court intrigue of the most dangerous kind. House of Dreams is a powerful story of passion and jealousy, rich with the details of Ancient Egyptian life.

We spend one-third of our lives asleep, and most of that time we are dreaming. But we don’t always remember our dreams or understand the messages they are conveying. Dr. Marilyn Barrick’s fascinating work shows that our dreams are not only meaningful and connected with events in our lives, but they also hold important keys to our spiritual and emotional development. In fact, our souls are great dramatists and teachers, and the scripts of our dreams often contain profound and valuable guidance. Through the powerful insights in this book and the author’s visionary analysis of actual dreams, you’ll learn how to interpret your own dreams and discover how to decode the metaphorical messages of your own soul. You’ll also explore Tibetan sleep and dream yoga, lucid dreaming, and techniques to help you more clearly remember and understand your dreams.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner—a powerful examination of our obsession with beauty and conformity that asks questions about race, class, and gender with characteristic subtly and grace. In Morrison’s acclaimed first novel, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others—prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment. Here, Morrison’s writing is “so precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry” (The New York Times).

This collection of essays explores the intertwining social conditions of ethnicity and gender as they are represented in short stories by contemporary American women. The introduction to the collection explains the theoretical understanding of gender and ethnicity as social constructions that provide a context for individual experience. The collection brings together analyses of short stories that focus on major ethnic cultures in the United States: Mexican American, Puerto Rican, Japanese American, Asian American, African American, Jewish American, white Protestant American, and Native American. Each essay testifies to the struggles of women within patriarchal cultures in America, and each explores how different ethnic identities set the terms of these gender struggles. The essays also reveal the complications of other important social issues, such as class, sexual preference, and religion. Individually, each essay contributes a significant new analysis of a short story or collection by an important contemporary American writer. Together, the essays indicate the complexity and significance of this cultural approach to women's fiction, demonstrate the critical theories that are currently developing in the fields of gender and ethnic studies, and suggest that neither ethnicity nor gender can legitimately be considered alone.
