It is an ancient science as old as human consciousness itself. There is a science of feminine transformation. Sobonfu Somé, West African Shaman, from the chapter Women's Ways of Living Feminine spirit more than ever wants us to acknowledge its presence, wants us to be truthful and honest about where its energy is, and to use it to heal. ![]() Women who welcome and live their own power can help shift the consciousness of the world, to bring out a more positive side of the feminine, to bring a new way of being into the world. This is a historic time for women, and for the feminine. The masculine ways, the ways of the warrior, of violence, don't work. We're not going to solve our own problems or the problems of the world the old way. ![]()

![]() But it’s more than convincing and every now and then, as a kind of homage or reminder, hits the precise, epigrammatic Austen note. The style of “Death Comes to Pemberley” is a loose approximation of 19th-century prose, a sort of modern equivalent, rather than a painstaking imitation. But is Wickham, although a deadbeat and a serial seducer of young women, really a murderer? Even Darcy can’t quite believe that of him. A search party discovers Wickham in the woods, drunk and bloodstained, beside the body of his best friend, Captain Denny, and he babbles what sounds like a confession. ![]() Actually he isn’t, though many, including Darcy, for whom Wickham is a constant source of embarrassment and irritation, might wish he were. Inside is Elizabeth’s airhead sister Lydia, the one who eloped with the charming but unreliable George Wickham, screaming that her husband is dead. But their tranquillity is interrupted one wet and windy evening when an unexpected carriage comes rocketing up the drive. They have two young sons now, and the arrival of a third child is shortly to be announced. The story is set in 1803, six years after “Pride and Prejudice” was finished (though it wasn’t published until 1813) and presumably when the marriage of Elizabeth and Darcy took place. ![]() James’s surprising new sequel to that novel, it becomes the scene of a murder.

And Païs reports him as saying in his later years: “Science without epistemology is-in so far as it is thinkable at all-primitive and muddled.” The phrase has explicit philosophical import - how we may connect words to things that are not words underlies all 0f human inquiry. Perhaps his most informative was the statement: “A religious person is devout in the sense that he has no doubt of the significance of those superpersonal objects and goals which neither require nor are capable of rational foundation.” The phrase ‘superpersonal objects’ is important - not supernatural, or spiritual, or divine, one notices. Quips about God and dice aside, his scientific ethos can be associated with a theology as nuanced as the quote used as the title of Païs biography: “Subtle is the Lord but malicious He is not.”Įinstein made only a few explicit comments about religion. Yet I am impressed by his intuitive understanding of the subject and its relevance to his scientific work. ![]() Although he had a lifelong interest in philosophy, Einstein had a limited background in the subject, mainly Kant and Plato. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A Grave Prediction (Psychic Eye Mystery #14), 2016.Sense of Deception (Psychic Eye Mystery #13), 2015.Fatal Fortune (Psychic Eye Mystery #12), 2014.Deadly Forecast (Psychic Eye Mystery #11), 2013.Lethal Outlook (Psychic Eye Mystery #10), 2012.Vision Impossible (Psychic Eye Mystery #9), 2011.A Glimpse of Evil (Psychic Eye Mystery #8), 2010.Doom with a View (Psychic Eye Mystery #7), 2009.Death Perception (Psychic Eye Mystery #6), 2008.Crime Seen (Psychic Eye Mystery #5), 2007.Killer Insight (Psychic Eye Mystery #4), 2006.A Vision of Murder (Psychic Eye Mystery #3), 2005.Better Read Than Dead (Psychic Eye Mystery #2), 2005.Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye (Psychic Eye Mystery #1), 2004. ![]() New Victoria Laurie Books A Spell to Unbind (Spellbound #1), 2021 They are all listed in chronological and publication order.

Armfield is extremely good at anatomising the women’s relationship – the small moments of which lasting love consists ![]() The effect is only heightened by a deliberate, vivid realism of place (Newport, Manchester, Glasgow rented flats, bars in university towns) and a discerning interest in the shifting power structures of relationships. It is tricky to describe what happens without giving away the endings – which, when you become used to her method, are often prefigured in the beginnings, and in the classical tales her literalism both defamiliarises and renews: wolf-siblings, maenads, a gorgon. So a convent schoolgirl with problem skin, always shedding and peeling, undergoes a metamorphosis or a town fills with Sleeps, each having stepped out of its owner “like a passenger from a railway carriage”. Choose a quotidian phenomenon – problem skin, say, or sleeplessness – and use it as a foundation stone for relentlessly logical, haunted edifices reminiscent of the contemporary gothic of Mariana Enríquez or Guadalupe Nettel.

Given the assumption that Wilder the woman was interchangeable from Wilder the writer, it’s difficult to understand her life as something other than a hagiographer’s idealized portrait of the pioneer era.
