Imprint: New York, Mysterious Press, 1999 Another adventure involving the detecting skills of Marcus Didius Falco (and Helena) In vino, veritas. But in Rome's water supply, horror--as a woman's hand bobs up in a fountain. Marcus Didius Falco and his new partner, Petronius "Petro" Longus, hope to make a splash for their new detective agency by investigating. Roman officials, however, order them to stay out of the pond. Soon other female body parts float down Rome's two hundred miles of aqueducts, and Falco is dangerously defying his old boss, Chief Spy Anacrites, to find the killer. Now Falco has no place to go but down: into cisterns, reservoirs, and the dank world of Rome's bottom feeders, where blood is thicker than water.. Book. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hardcover.

Imprint: New York, Crime Club / Doubleday, 1967 It was an unspeakable nightmare -- she was in some kind of institution, and the other patients all seemed to be freaks and imbeciles. She couldn't remember her own face and she was baffled by the strange scars on her arms and legs. The doctor told her that her name was Jane, that she'd been in a serious accident, that she was being taken care of by a kindly man who was her trustee and guardian. She remembered a lot of other things, too...but she had no way of knowing what was real and what was a product of her own fantastic dreams. She remembered clouds, and fire, and danger, and parts of books. And a man dying. She struggled to walk into her past but then a stranger appeared, and advised her that for her own safety some things were better left forgotten! 189P, Neat tight text, minimal library marks.

Imprint: London, Virago, 2003 Across a crowded room in Venice, Marlena de Blesi is seen by a stranger who persuades her to leave her life as a chef and journalist in America to live with him in Italy. This book is her account of what followed. It is an inherently sentimental story, but her 'stranger' is no knight in shining armour, just an ordinary human being who just happens to be the love of her life. As she attempts to adjust to a different culture and absorb the sights and sounds of magical Venice, he too has to learn to accept that the profile he first fell in love with belongs to a three-dimensional woman. Marlena loves Fernando but she also loves to cook. So much the better, if her food can be shared by someone who also loves to eat. However, this is more than a book about sex and cooking. Her descriptions of markets at the Rialto, the preparation and consumption of meals, the loving and sensual details of luscious ingredients, together with descriptions of her romantic house in America and the changes wrought in Fernando's distinctly unpromising flat on the Lido all reveal a woman who will seize and enjoy the moment. Starting to live together as strangers, Marlena and Fernando also have to contend with more practical matters, such as getting things done in Italy in all its bureaucratic glory, as Fernando demonstrates the 'innocent cunning' needed for life there. As their relationship develops, the meals they eat together come to symbolize the love between them.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Soft cover Stock number: 038273. ISBN: 9781844080205

Imprint: Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 2002 During her lifetime, the gifted writer Marie le Jars de Gournay (1565-1645) was celebrated as one of the "seventy most famous women of all time" in Jean de la Forge's Circle of Learned Women (1663). The adopted daughter of Montaigne, as well as his editor, Gournay was a major literary force and a pioneering feminist voice during a tumultuous period in France. This volume presents translations of four of Gournay's works that address feminist issues. Two of these appear here in English for the first time-The Promenade of Monsieur de Montaigne and The Apology for the Woman Writing. One of the first modern psychological novels, the best-selling Promenade was also the first to explore female sexual feeling. With the autobiographical Apology, Gournay defended every aspect of her life, from her moral conduct to her household management. The book also includes Gournay's last revisions (1641) of her two best-known feminist treatises, The Equality of Men and Women and The Ladies' Complaint. The editors provide a general overview of Gournay's career, as well as individual introductions and extensive annotations for each work 176p. bibliography, index.. Book. Book Condition: Fine.
