I was so excited to get my paws on book three in the Helen Grace series, she is one of my most liked female Detectives in the world of crime fiction. She did not let me down in this one either. This was a Traveling Sister Read with Brenda and Kaceey. I had a blast reading it with them and am so glad they like M. J. Arlidge’s books as much as I do. Can’t wait for us to start Liar Liar next.

Ibsen sent a fair copy of the completed play to his publisher on 15 September 1879. [16] It was first published in Copenhagen on 4 December 1879, in an edition of 8,000 copies that sold out within a month; a second edition of 3,000 copies followed on 4 January 1880, and a third edition of 2,500 was issued on 8 March. [17] Production history [ edit ]I loved listening to this book, and I found myself enthralled with the story. I was worried that Helen would get into trouble because of her, let's say, not that legal way of trying to find her nephew. And, it doesn't help that her boss is hell-bent on bringing her down. I did love the big confrontation between them both.

Tottie, Birdie, Mr. Plantaganet, Apple and their dog Darner are one happy, mixed match doll family, who belong to two sweet little girls who love them to pieces. The only thing that could make them happier is to have a house - a real, old-fashioned doll house - with a sampler couch, matching chairs, wallpapered walls and cozy beds.

The Doll's House' has a few cute and charming moments, but it's mostly about how that dollhouse is remade after decades in the loft, and how the two little girls, Emily and Charlotte, go about it all, and I got bored. There isn't really a plot to speak of; as Homer Simpson would say, "It's just a bunch of stuff that happens." I liked some of the characters, even though the dolls do come across as ungrateful and demanding of their young owners, but I especially do not like Tottie, the main doll. She is meant to be old, wise, gentle and calm, but she comes across as self-righteous, pushy, bossy and unfeeling. Now while I do appreciate that Tottie, Birdie and the other dolls manage to obtain their cherished dollhouse (and also have indeed much enjoyed reading both about how Charlotte and Emily actively proceed trying to earn the necessary funds to refurbish, to renovate the dollhouse they have inherited and about Tottie's sojourn at the exhibition and that Mrs. Innisfree keeps her safe and even tells the Queen of England that Tottie is not for sale), the constant griping of especially Apple and Mr. Plantaganet when it turns out that the inherited dollhouse is dusty, rundown with age and desperately needs to be refurbished, the advent of Marchpane, and especially the ending (and what happens to poor Birdie), all this really does make me rather cringe a bit. And with the ending, it is not so much Birdie's tragic fate that I find hard to accept and stomach (although I was close to tears), but more that there are no real and potentially uncomfortable consequences for Marchpane (for the villain and main antagonist), and that this actually seems to be not only acceptable but even desired as an outcome.

And the moral of this toy story is: If you're beautiful and absolutely, positively, so full of yourself, you can treat others however you want, be as thoughtless, narcissistic, selfish and rude as you want, and you will be rewarded with all you've always wished for, even if you've literally committed murder.

Young women with long dark hair and baby blue eyes are being abducted. When their bodies are finally found, the medical examiner determines that they starved to death. They also all sport the same bluebird tattoo .. something they didn't have before being taken.

[50] In a speech given to the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights in 1898, Ibsen insisted that he "must disclaim the honor of having consciously worked for the women's rights movement," since he wrote "without any conscious thought of making propaganda," his task having been "the description of humanity." [51] However, the play is associated with feminism, as Miriam Schneir includes it in her anthology Feminism: The Essential Historical Writings, labelling it as one of the essential feminist works.
