Let the Peacock Sing by Michael Barrington Pdf

A captivating and unrequited love story is set against the action-packed background of the French Resistance in 1942, where a sophisticated, fashion-conscious Countess, Henriette, owner of a Chateau winery in South West France, is also the head of several Resistance Groups. She falls in love with Pere Louis, the Abbot of a local monastery, also a doctor, who leads a double life as a Resistance leader. A beautiful young female English radio operator and explosives expert, with a killer instinct, parachutes in to help plan the destruction of factories producing weapons and aircraft parts, dynamiting railways, and the ambush of a German armored column. Gripping, and masterfully written, the daring and adrenaline pumping exploits create a breathless suspense, taking the reader on an emotional roller coaster as people struggle to outwit the Gestapo. Let the Peacock Sing, is an engrossing story of survival and Resistance, filled with raw emotions of loss and love, even as underground preparations are being made to support the Allied landings on D-Day, June 6th.

Where the Peacocks Sing by Alison Singh Gee Pdf

How far would you travel for love? In her sparkling memoir, journalist Alison Singh Gee learns that love, riches, and a place to call home can be found in the most unexpected places. Alison Singh Gee was a glamorous magazine writer with a serious Jimmy Choo habit, a weakness for five-star Balinese resorts, and a reputation for dating highborn British men. Then she met Ajay, a charming and unassuming Indian journalist, and her world turned upside down. Traveling from her shiny, rapid-fire life in Hong Kong to Ajay's native village, Alison learns that not all is as it seems. Turns out that Ajay is a landed prince (of sorts), but his family palace is falling to pieces. Replete with plumbing issues, strange noises, and intimidating relatives, her new love's ramshackle palace, Mokimpur, is a broken-down relic in desperate need of a makeover. And Alison wonders if she can soldier on for the sake of the man who just might be her soul mate. This modern-day fairytale, WHERE THE PEACOCKS SING, takes readers on a cross-cultural journey from the manicured gardens of Beverly Hills, to the bustling streets of Hong Kong and finally to the rural Indian countryside as Alison comes to terms with her complicated new family, leaves the modern world behind, and learns the true meaning of home.

Gunshot, Peacock, Dog by Rick Campbell Pdf

Campbell's latest collection reads like an extended elegy for the poet himself, for his lost loved ones, and for the changes in the wider world. In this way, it is reminiscent of Hardy. This is the work of a man wise in the ways of the world and not afraid to be flawed.
