THE WEDDING SHAWL: MY ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY

THE WEDDING SHAWL
A Seaside Knitters Mystery
BY SALLY GOLDENBAUM
In honor of our 38th Wedding Anniversary today, I wanted a wedding book for my followers and think this cozy mystery is it!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Readers can't help but get entangled in this national bestselling series...

The unsolved murder of a local girl fuels the plot in the latest Seaside Knitters mystery. Excellent characters and setting transport readers into the daily life of Sea Harbor, where readers can almost smell the sea air as they uncover clues alongside the savvy group of knitters. Good plotting and logical sleuthing propel the story forward to an eye-opening conclusion that points at one of Sea Harbors most popular residents.

Its summertime in Sea Harbor, Mass., and Nell, along with the rest of the Seaside Knitters, is knitting a beautiful wedding shawl for Izzy Chambers upcoming nuptials. Aunt Nell is working hard to prepare her backyard for Izzys big occasion and has hired a gardener, Claire, who has ties to a young girls drowning 15 years earlier at the Markham quarry. When a local hairdresser is murdered in Sea Harbor, and it is unc! overed t hat she was the dead girls best friend years ago, Nell wonders why Claire has returned to Sea Harbor. Did she come to bury the past? Or did she return seeking revenge?

All the Seaside Knitters really know is they must rally to find some answers, so Izzy can don the wedding shawl they're surprising her with- and replace the whispers about town with wedding bells.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I am quite inept at writing about my life--it's been a very nice one so far, but in the repeating it may sound a bit tedious. So I will hit the highlights and offer you a very speedy read.

I was born in Manitowoc, Wisc, a small city on the shores of Lake Michigan where my father was a shipbuilder. We spent summers baking on Lake Michigan (before the days of sun alerts) and enjoyed the perks that growing up in a small town provides. I went to high school in Green Bay, Wisc, a boarder in an all-girls academy, just like my sister, mother and her seven sisters before her had done.

College was Fontbonne in St. Louis, and graduate school (philosophy) was Indiana U inBloomington where I met my husband. In between all of that I was a Catholic nun for several years. A checkered past, to be sure. To read more on Sally Goldenbaum, go to her bio on her website HERE.

Poetry puzzles

Who is Ozymandias? Why is Coleridge's Lime-Tree Bower his prison? And what is the proper spelling of The Waste Land? The solving of a poem's puzzles is one poetry's greatest pleasures In the late 1990s the indefatigable John Sutherland produced a series of entertaining books about puzzles in fiction (Why is Frankenstein's monster yellow? Where does Fanny Hill keep her contraceptives? Who gets what in Heathcliff's will?). The books were initially linked to reissues of novels in the Oxford World's Classics series, and I was struck at the time how beautifully these little inquisitions of Sutherland's, often on apparently absurd or marginal issues in the text, got readers reading again, with attention and interest. What Sutherland was doing, in effect, was smuggling serious literary criticism into an apparently superficial form of writing. Perhaps, in a sense, he was even re-inventing literary criticism. In this era of academic theorising and the downsizing of m...

CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed by Frdric Chaubin review

These images of Soviet architecture from the Brezhnev era are simply out of this world Soviet brutalism is not something traditionally thought of as beautiful, but Frdric Chaubin's stunning photographs, published under the facetious title CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed , should go some way to changing this. Fascinated by the massive scale of Brezhnev-era architecture, the French photographer has toured the former Soviet Union since 2003, in search of dramatic examples of these sculptural buildings. The 1970s-1990s was a strong period for Soviet architecture, especially in the peripheral republics, where outlandish designs were an expression of the striving for independence, an early inkling of the break-up of the USSR. Architects at this time picked up where they left off following the suppression of the avant-garde by Stalin in the early 1930s, and were able to capitalise on advances made in engineering in the interim period, producing buildings with enormous in...
