Circa by Devi S. Laskar Pdf

For fans of The Burning Girl by Claire Messud and Burnt Sugar by Avni Doshi, a stunning, gut-punch of a novel that follows a young Indian American woman who, in the wake of tragedy, must navigate her family's expectations as she grapples with a complicated love and loss. On the cusp of her eighteenth birthday, Heera and her best friends, siblings Marie and Marco, tease the fun out of life in Raleigh, North Carolina, with acts of rebellion and delinquency. They paint the town’s water towers with red anarchy symbols and hang out at the local bus station to pickpocket money for their Great Escape to New York. But no matter how much Heera defies her strict upbringing, she’s always avoided any real danger—until one devastating night changes everything. In its wake, Marco reinvents himself as Crash and spends his days womanizing and burning through a string of jobs. Meanwhile, Heera’s dream to go to college in New York is suddenly upended. Over the years, Heera’s and Crash’s paths cross and recross on a journey of dreams, desires, jealousies, and betrayals. Heart-wrenching, darkly funny, and buoyed by gorgeous prose, Circa is at once an irresistible love story and a portrait of a young woman torn between duty and her own survival, between obligation and freedom.

Circa Now by Amber McRee Turner Pdf

Twelve-year-old Circa Monroe has a knack for restoring old photographs. It's a skill she learned from her dad, who loves old pictures and putting fun digital twists on them. His altered "Shopt" photos look so real that they could fool nearly anybody, and Circa treasures the fun stories he makes up to explain each creation. One day, her father receives a strange phone call requesting an urgent delivery, and he heads out into a storm. The unimaginable happens: a tornado, then a terrible accident, and Circa never sees her dad again. Just as Circa and her mom begin to pick up the pieces, a mysterious boy shows up on their doorstep, a boy called Miles who remembers nothing about his past. The only thing he has with him is the photograph that Circa's dad intended to deliver on the day he died. As Circa tries to help Miles recover his identity, she begins to notice something strange about the photos she and her father retouched—the digital flourishes added to the old photos seem to exist in real life. The mysteries of the Shopt photos and Miles's past are intertwined, and in order to solve both, Circa will have to figure out what's real and what's an illusion. With stunning prose, captivating photographs, and a hint of magic, Circa Now is a gripping story full of hope and heart.

CIRCA 1925, A MEMOIR by Elaine Watson Pdf

The tiny slice of the American, rural Midwest during the Twenties that I picture in CIRCA 1925 would merit hardly one “circa” in a museum today. It seems too close to our time. But in nearly every way I can think of, it was a different world. Movies made today that try to capture people and events in the 1920’s are somehow off the mark for me. I was there. It wasn’t like that.

Circa by Adam Greenfield Pdf

Circa is a dark comedy featuring Henry Colmes, a high school sophomore trying to find his place in school and life. In alternating chapters, it is also the story of Henry as a thirty-something cub reporter trying to track down an elusive cult leader in order to interview him for the man's own obituary. Alluding to the timelessness of tragedy, Circa offers an examination of our collective desperation for meaningful context in which to place and rationalize the actions we take. At once heartfelt, tragic, and surreal, Circa, the debut novel from author Adam Greenfield, looks at the pivotal moments in a person's life that lead them to make the decisions they can never take back and, ultimately, never forget.

Roman Honeymoon, Circa 3000 Ad by Hank Edward Curci Pdf

Roman Honeymoon, Circa 3000 AD, is the sequel to the short story CAESAR'S JAGUAR. In CAESAR'S JAGUAR we find a brilliant young scientist by the name of John Moore, who invents a time machine and brings back to ancient Rome, 79 AD, a fire engine red Jaguar sports car with intentions of racing this beautiful automobile in the famous Circus Maximus chariot races. When John Moore arrives in Rome, he learns that Princes Ruth, Caesar's beautiful daughter, is the prize for winning the race. He helps the good guy Glacus win the race, using the Jaguar sports car, against the bad guy Darius who poisoned Glacus's beautiful Arabian chariot horses. Glacus wins the hand of his beloved Princes Ruth, daughter of Titus, Emperor of Rome. John Moore is persuaded into taking the newly married, 23 year old, 79 AD, Roman couple back to modern day San Francisco, 1963, in the time machine, for the mother of all honeymoons with intent of sending them back to 79 AD Rome in two weeks. The time machine malfunctions and sends the young, 23 year old Roman newly weds, Glacus and Ruth, into the year 3000 AD. Roman Honeymoon is then about what happens to Glacus and Ruth in the year 3000 AD, three thousand years in to their future.
