Part personal history, part biography, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes contrasts two comingofage narratives: that of Lucia, the daughter of James Joyce, and that of author Mary Talbot, daughter of the eminent Joycean scholar James S. Atherton. Social expectations and gender politics, thwarted ambitions and personal tragedy are played out against two contrasting historical backgrounds, poignantly evoked by the atmospheric visual storytelling of awardwinning graphicnovel pioneer Bryan Talbot. Produced through an intense collaboration seldom seen between writers and artists, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes is smart, funny, and sadan essential addition to the evolving genre of graphic memoir. * Bryan Talbot is recognized worldwide as one of the true original voices in graphic fiction. * Bryan Talbot's Grandville Mon Amour was nominated for a 2011 Hugo Award.
Teen & Young Adult Angel Fantasy Books In the young adult Christian fantasy novel, Lucias The Fallen, readers are thrust into a world where an ancient war between celestial beings continues to unfold on Earth. This gripping tale delves into the impending apocalypse and the critical events that have been meticulously planned since the dawn of time. At the center of it all lies Lucias, a boy-child who holds the salvation of the fallen angels in his hands. When the war between the fallen angels and the celestial forces erupted in the Heavens, its echoes reverberated through the ages, never truly ceasing. The celestial police force, established in the aftermath of the conflict, approached Lucifer, offering him a chance at redemption. They presented him with a prophecy—If a specific girl were to conceive a child under the gaze of the blue moon, and that boy-child were to survive until the age of twenty-five, the fallen angels could find their way back home. Lucias, the destined offspring, is the key to their restoration. However, Lucifer harbors his own sinister agenda for Lucias. He intends to exploit the young boy's unique destiny as part of a meticulously crafted plan to annihilate humanity, giving him the ultimate power he has coveted since the dawn of time. As the forces of good and evil converge, Lucias finds himself torn between his true purpose as the savior of the fallen angels and the malevolent intentions of Lucifer. With the fate of both Heaven and Earth hanging in the balance, Lucias must navigate a web of deceit, temptation, and unimaginable trials. Along the way, he grapples with his own inner demons, confronts the truth about his identity, and strives to fulfill his divine purpose while resisting the allure of evil. Lucias The Fallen is a captivating blend of fantasy, Christian allegory, and epic adventure that explores themes of redemption, free will, and the eternal battle between good and evil.
Lucia has a disturbed childhood. Unloved, she lives a life devoid of care and affection and is unable to express herself or communicate in any way with her family. But one day everything changes when Lucia finds an outlet and a way to communicate real emotion through her poltergeist, “Ginger”. Set in North London in 1989, sixteen year old Lucia comes home from school one day to discover a patch of water on her exercise paper. Noticing the reaction it gets from her mother, Lucia starts a game pouring water on carpets and beds. When psychics confirm there is malignant energy in the flat, her behaviour escalates. Before long, she is throwing heavy furniture around the flat and writing all over the walls. Before she knows it, she is appearing on national TV to convince the public of the poltergeist... Lucia does not understand why she is doing these things, but once she starts, she cannot stop. Why can’t she stop and what makes her do these things? Does she ever get found out. And more important, does Lucia fake the poltergeist or is Ginger real and part of her? Written from both a first person and third person perspective and with dual time narratives, Lucia’s Poltergeist is an unusual psychological suspense novel that explores themes of the supernatural, the psychological impact of abuse, and the issue of polarity and duality, the Jekyll and Hyde, within us all.

Lucia in London & Mapp and Lucia by E. F. Benson Pdf
E. F. Benson’s beloved Mapp and Lucia novels are sparkling, classic comedies of manners set against the petty snobberies and competitive maneuverings of English village society in the 1920s and 1930s. The third and fourth novels in the series, Lucia in London (1927) and Mapp and Lucia (1931) continue the adventures of Benson’s famously irrepressible characters, and bring them into hilarious conflict. Both Mrs. Lucia Lucas and Miss Elizabeth Mapp are accustomed to complete social supremacy, and when one intrudes on the other’s territory, war ensues. Lucia sees herself as a benevolent—if ruthless—dictator, while Miss Mapp is driven by an insatiable desire for vengeance against the presumptuous interloper. Their skirmishes—played out on a battlefield composed of dinner parties, council meetings, and art exhibits—enliven the plots of Benson’s maliciously witty comedies.
