Unfortunately, several things soon become clear about Rebecca's new friends: Lisette is a ghost, the fact that Rebecca can see her is not a good sign, and Anton knows more about them both than he's telling. Her social interaction is limited to two people: Anton Grey, a handsome, popular boy from one of the city's old-money families, and Lisette, a girl she meets in Lafayette Cemetery. Rebecca sticks out like a sore thumb, having little interest in New Orleans's celebratory rituals and stratified class system. Ruined is set in modern-day New Orleans, where fifteen-year-old Rebecca Brown is sent for a six-month-long stay with a family friend while her father is on a business trip. Dark Souls had some shaky characterization, but Morris's plot was creative, creepy, and rich in historical detail (all things I approve of in a ghost story), so my hopes were high. After reading Paula Morris's novel Dark Souls earlier this spring, I decided to hunt down the two books in her earlier series, Ruined and Unbroken. ![]()

He used his position to redirect the world's focus on faith in an era of secularization. The first German pope in a thousand years, Benedict – born Joseph Ratzinger – was a theologian and writer devoted to history and tradition, who was elected to succeed Pope John Paul II. The then-85-year-old thus became the first pope in 600 years to resign. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI (April 16, 1927-December 31, 2022) stunned the world in 2013 when he announced, after eight years in office, that he lacked the strength to continue as head of the Catholic Church.

He himself is heavy: the book begins with the 11-year-old Laymon weighing 208lb. And heaviness is at the centre of his autobiography. This emphasis on truth – turning it into a kind of theology – is a heavy burden. The lies of his mother, of employers, of many of the people around him: these are what he wants to dispel. Tempted as he might be “to do that old black work of pandering and lying to folk who pay us to pander and lie to them every day”, he can’t – or won’t – go down that road. It’s not about creating “a fantastic literary spectacle”. It isn’t in prose like that of William Faulkner, which, when he was younger, made him “feel drunker than a white man”. As far as he’s concerned, it isn’t to be found in the genre of the American memoir (although the book is subtitled with that label). K iese Laymon thinks a lot about the truth. ![]() ![]() ![]() Log In to see more information about Sandra D.
