An ambitious and powerful account of modern Irish history through the eyes of those who experienced it at first hand.Forty years after the Provisional IRA was formed and British troops arrived in Ireland, Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness sit together as leaders of a devolved Northern Irish government, in which Sinn F?in and the Democratic Unionists share power. The Troubles appear to be over; the future promises to be quite different from the past. But recent events perhaps suggest otherwise, as old tensions rise to the forefront once more.Through countless interviews with the people from both sides that lived through, participated in and were victims of the Troubles, the author builds a picture of the attitudes and the beliefs that shaped three decades of Ireland's history. There are those whose lives have been shattered, those who have tried to ignore the realities, those who have attempted to bridge the divide, those who do not accept the peace, and some who refuse to look back at all.What emerges is a balanced and wide-ranging account that explores the struggle between ideology and compassion, how the battles and politics of centuries ago still define people's attitudes towards their neighbours today, and how political injustice and the course of time can make a complex reality seem like simple history.

Now a true, full-bred vampire, she marvels at her new powers, including her ability to fly, and her superhuman strength. She finds that her true love, Caleb, is still by her side, waiting patiently for her to recover. She has everything she could dream of. Until it all, suddenly, goes terribly wrong.

She finds she has been placed on a hidden island in the Hudson River—Pollepel—amidst an elite coven of teenage vampires, boys and girls alike, 24 in all, including her.

After all, she is still the One, and all eyes still look to her to find her father and the other weapon that might save them all. Torn between her new friends and her lingering feelings for Caleb, she must come to decide where her true loyalties lie, and whether she is willing to risk it all to try to find Caleb and have him in her life once again…. “BETRAYED is a great installment for this series.

"Brauch Blau" ist ein Roman über Mutterinstinkt, weibliche Lust, Versagens?ngste und Selbstbehauptung, wütend und abgründig, ironisch und leidenschaftlich, radikal und z?rtlich. In schnell pulsierenden S?tzen, mit einer starken Sprache und einem zerrei?end zarten Blick auf ihre Figuren erz?hlt Julia Malik von einer Frau, die sich wehrt.

Sie erwacht auf einem Hotelbett, sie ist unbekleidet. Ihre Erinnerungen sind im Nebel, dringen nur splitterhaft zu ihr durch. Eine Erkenntnis fl utet wie eine hei?e Welle ihr Bewusstsein: Sie hat zwei kleine Kinder! Wieso ist sie allein? Eines steht fest: Sie muss sie fi nden, und zwar schnell. Eine atemlose Suche beginnt. Sie rennt. Sie muss ihr Leben in den Griff und endlich diese Hauptrolle in der Oper bekommen. Alles steht auf dem Spiel: das Wohlergehen ihrer Kinder und ihr eigenes Selbstverst?ndnis als Karrierefrau und Mutter, die verzweifelt versucht, sich gegen die Selbstaufopferung zur Wehr zu setzen, die ihr der Alltag als Alleinerziehende abverlangt. Sie hat es endgültig satt, allen immer nur zu gefallen. In Brauch Blau sieht eine Mutter rot. Es ist die Geschichte einer Frau, die k?mpft: gegen ihre gesellschaftliche Rolle, die ihr den Atem abschnürt, gegen den Vater ihrer Kinder, der sie nicht nur verlassen hat, sondern der ihre Grenzen übertritt, gegen die Fremdbestimmtheit und nicht zuletzt gegen sich selbst.
