Caren Irr's survey of more than 125 novels outlines the dramatic resurgence of the American political novel in the twenty-first century. She explores the writings of Chris Abani, Susan Choi, Edwidge Danticat, Junot Díaz, Dave Eggers, Jeffrey Eugenides, Aleksandar Hemon, Hari Kunzru, Dinaw Mengestu, Norman Rush, Gary Shteyngart, and others as they rethink stories of migration, the Peace Corps, nationalism and neoliberalism, revolution, and the expatriate experience. Taken together, these innovations define a new literary form: the geopolitical novel. More cosmopolitan and socially critical than domestic realism, the geopolitical novel provides new ways of understanding crucial political concepts to meet the needs of a new century.

For beautiful young Ivana her stepfather Keith Waring is no replacement for her much-missed father, the Honourable Hugo Sherard, who was killed in Spain fighting against Napoleon Bonaparte. Her stepfather is a spendthrift and he has gambled away virtually everything the family owns. Ivana’s hatred for her stepfather is doubled when, to her utter horror, she overhears him offering her as a ‘kept woman’ to the equally despised Lord Hanford for over five thousand pounds! Ivana runs away with her old Nanny acting as her chaperone and companion and applies for work through a Domestic Agency, where she is invited to apply for a post using her flawless Parisian French for the Earl of Lorimer, who is working in the War Office. Expecting a man to apply for the post, the imperious but handsome Earl is at first sceptical, but on realising that he knew her father, he soon warms to her, saying that he has a ‘difficult and dangerous mission for her!’ Ivana is to become a spy, working undercover against Napoleon’s secret agents. And so her perilous adventures begin. Very soon she loses her heart – and at every turn she risks losing her life. But the worst danger of all comes not from the wartime enemy but from the evil Lord Hanford who is still determined to possess her as he has already paid for her.

Mike Lineham, dig into the case, they will discover a tantalizing connection to a powerful local barrister—and a secret that many people might have killed for.

A snowstorm in a quiet English village ends in death in this “skillfully plotted” mystery starring the beloved Detective Inspector Thanet (Publishers Weekly). Over the last year, Superintendent Draco has turned the little police station at Sturrenden upside down. A hard-driving, fiery Welshman, he has breathed new life into a stagnant police force, and Det. Inspector Luke Thanet has been forced to admit that even if he’s difficult to work with, Draco gets results. But when a body is found in the little village of Sutton-in-the-Weald the morning after a heavy snowstorm, Draco insists on overseeing the investigation—which means finding the killer won’t be Thanet’s only problem. Leo Martindale returned to Sutton-in-the-Weald after twenty years to claim his inheritance. Two days later, he’s dead. Was the death an accident, a hit and run caused by icy roads—or was it murder? Thanet will have to ignore his boss breathing down his neck to find out the truth. When it comes to mixing elements of the traditional English murder mystery with the thrills of a modern police procedural, no one does it better than CWA Silver Dagger winner Dorothy Simpson. Dead by Morning is the 9th book in the Inspector Thanet Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Gaudere res seria est. Loosely translated from Latin in our Abridged Too Far Dictionary, that means: Having fun is serious business. Please note that it does not translate from old German to mean: "I've got sauerkraut in my lederhosen." Actually, it's the motto of the Mystical Township of Grace, Washington, a place unlike any other town in America. Perhaps it might even be the off-center of the known universe. What follows is a compilation of columns culled from the Greater Grace Gazette's disgustingly dusty archives that will provide insight into the comings and goings and doings of the town's sometimes zany and occasionally self-important residents and interlopers. It is hoped they will make you agree that having fun is serious business indeed. Warning: Not for the Humor Impaired.

“We swore each other forever... Until his pride ruined us.” - Julia From the moment I fell in love with Sebastian, I had always seen him as my beacon, my unwavering anchor in the unpredictable sea of life. Our love was something out of a fairy tale, deep and all-consuming. But as time ticked by, his pride grew and his unsettling animosity towards our future daughter-in-law, Roxanne, began to eclipse our once radiant bond. And now, an unexpected betrayal threatens to tip our relationship into oblivion. As the winds of doubt howl, my mother's urgent whispers push me towards the thought of parting ways with my one true half. At this harrowing juncture, caught between the love I once cherished and the mounting pressures that might tear us apart, one question haunts me: Can a love once so profound survive amidst the ruins of trust and the weight of external forces?
