The story is told entirely from her point of view, and I loved her narration. With a keen eye for detail, she quickly becomes an asset rather than a hindrance as Jackaby has found his past assistants. Determined to show her worth, Abigail joins Jackaby as he investigates a recent string of murders. Looking for a job leads her to the mysterious paranormal investigator Jackaby. Over the past year, she has explored Europe, and now she has settled into America. That is not at all what this is! Jackaby is a quirky, paranormal mystery with similar themes and feel to classic Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes.Ībigail Rook is a runaway, looking for adventure. Set during the Victorian age, I expected a freaky paranormal mystery that would leave me jumping at noises and leaving all the lights on at night. Jackaby by William Ritter is the first in the series by the same name.

For those who don't know the novel, Heartburn takes place mostly in an elite Washington, D.C., world of journalists and politicians and is a roman à clef about the break-up of Ephron's marriage to reporter Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame. Some of its jokes haven't aged well, such as wisecracks about lesbians and Japanese men with cameras, but the pain that underlies its humor is as fresh as a paper cut. I've read Heartburn three times since it came out in 1983. It's sentimental to say so, but when such a beloved writer's voice is stilled, you really do feel more alone, less armored against the world. We didn't have to tick off all the ways we needed Ephron's tough wit to help us through things. My friend and I locked eyes over our margaritas and nodded. " I'm so pissed off," this friend said, echoing Meryl Streep's words at Ephron's memorial service in 2012. I met a good friend for dinner the other night and told her I was rereading Nora Ephron's novel, Heartburn, which has just come out in a 40 th anniversary edition.

Dick Ringler, Professor Emeritus of English and Scandinavian Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison With their individual headnotes and complementary general introduction, they supply today’s readers with most of what they need to know in order to understand and appreciate the beliefs, motivations, and values of the Vikings.” Jackson Crawford’s modern versions of these poems are authoritative and fluent and often very gripping. These amazing texts from a 13th-century Icelandic manuscript are of huge historical, mythological and literary importance, containing the lion’s share of information that survives today about the gods and heroes of pre-Christian Scandinavians, their unique vision of the beginning and end of the world, etc. Here it is at last (Odin be praised!) and well worth the wait. “The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a Modern English translation that would do them justice. Ten years ago, "the Gate" appeared and connected the real world with the realm of magic and monsters. It is animated by Studio A-1 Pictures and premiered on 2024.
