A Glimpse of Stocking: A Novel

Product Information

It's been conniptions and collywobbles all around since Mr Underwood misplaced some important 'artistic' documents.

The dramatic, driving ‘No Cure For A Common Christmas’ is further evidence of the group’s talent for crafting lovelorn dance music; of all the songs compiled here, it’s the one you’re most likely to listen to in mid-July. Heaping doses of sex and violence fail to cover up the flaws of a wooden cast of characters driven by a string of events that rise less from their pasts than out of a bottomless well of coincidence. Some of the other tracks aren’t as memorable, and the regrettable euro-dance folly ‘Have a Party’, a mess of eighties synth sounds and faux-naive lyrics, is memorable for the wrong reasons; it’s the one moment when the band push the festive cheesiness to far, the musical equivalent of a cheery but awful Christmas card. But in Cole Porter’s Metropolis, erudite references were apparently used casually in the service of romance.Access Codes: Unless the book is described as "New," please assume that the book does *not* have an access code. Fans of Gage (Confession) are apt to be divided on her tale of three friends whose pubescent pact of lifelong ""threeness"" defines their lives.

There were a few shocking moments and the subject matter was very gritty in places, but the characters were well-developed and the book avoided being too 2-dimensional. Elizabeth Gage, con una habilidad notable para la construcción del mundo y una pluma que danza grácilmente a través de las páginas, se propone abrazar las complexidades de la condición humana, pero a menudo se detiene en el umbral de la verdadera profundidad analítica que caracteriza a las grandes obras de la literatura. After an incident, Annie spends time recovering from it; following that, Damon hires Annie to act in his last movie, The Fertile Crescent. In recent summers, my father has come to Manhattan so we can dine at the bar of the Union Square Café, go to a show, and wrap it up with a nightcap.Afterwards, another significant person, Damon Rhys, offered her an opportunity to act his movie, A Midnight Hour, leading to Annie's success.

Although parts of the book were a bit disturbing, it is a very good story and the characters are well-written. Their songs have roots in quintessentially British sounds and places, like the pop music of the swinging sixties and the slightly awkward dance music which developed out of acid house.

A pesar de sus limitaciones, la novela ofrece una ventana, aunque parcialmente velada, a las complejidades de la condición humana, prometiendo un potencial aún no completamente realizado. En última instancia, "El Brillo de la Seda" se encuentra en una encrucijada literaria, mostrándose como una obra que balbucea en los bordes de la grandiosidad pero no logra, del todo, cruzar el umbral hacia una verdadera epopeya literaria que resuena a través de las edades. Unfortunately rather than being hardcover as described at time of sale, it was a paperback but it is in good condition . So this one is the last ever novel I read in 2023, and simultaneously, I finished it in the early days of 2024. There was a bit of a lull toward the final third of the novel, but the last 100 pages kicked it back into gear.

It really dug deep into the motivations and psychology behind the two central figures at the heart of the novel: Annie and Christine. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. En "El Brillo de la Seda", nos encontramos frente a una obra que, aunque considerablemente bien concebida, titubea en su camino hacia la verdadera grandiosidad literaria.

In Damon, Annie and Christine find a father figure, until the relationship changes in a way that threatens to destroy them all. Like a Depression era American watching a Fred Astaire film, I was prepared to take the whole folly at face value. Like another reviewer I read this when I was very young but thankfully I was mature enough to handle it.
