![]() ![]() ![]() There is little to no sign of any other chapters to break this up, except for the occasional diary entry. About halfway through, this jumping around stops and the main narrative turns to Madeline at sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen. The chapters all told variations on the same thing: Madeline is lonely without her brother in a cursed house. It was all very confusing and I kept losing track of which plot was when. The Fall is initially told in a mess of chapters from Madeline at different ages and a few snippets from her ancestor's diary. It had such potential I wish it could have been edited a little more thoroughly. As a result, Madeline's few interactions with new people feel brief and forced and the ending left me confused at the anti-climax. It drags to the point of boredom much of it says largely the same thing. The Fall was far longer than it needed to be. But I could sense that Bethany Griffin was really trying very hard to spin it out into a full novel - and when I say she spun it, I mean she stretched it. I haven't read this story, so I can't compare it. I somehow missed this when I read the blurb for the first time, but The Fall is based on a short story by Edgar Allan Poe entitled The Fall of the House of Usher. ![]()

Arriving at the juncture of contemporary feminist discourse I introduce the unique tools and sophisticated philosophy of Wilber’s Integral theory in order to examine the possibilities that an Integral feminism may offer for the (re)construction of the female subject. I trace feminism’s development of, and increasingly complex engagement with, the definition of Woman as subject. To begin this journey, I turn to feminist theory as a principle space for the examination of the question of Woman. For woman, the question ‘Who am I’ has been obscured by the more pressing question, ‘Who is woman?’ This thesis sets out to find and follow woman as hero and in so doing, to explore woman’s evolving socio-cultural and psychological relationship with what it is to be human. This thesis takes the hero’s journey as motif and metaphor for the exploration of subjectivity, and explores the manner in which woman’s journey as hero has been marginalised. ‘Who am I?’ is the central question of the hero’s journey. ![]() ![]() West was avid to serve in battle, I do not mean to imply that he was either naturally warlike or anxious for the safety of civilisation. ![]() There were reasons why I would have been glad to let the war separate us reasons why I found the practice of medicine and the companionship of West more and more irritating but when he had gone to Ottawa and through a colleague’s influence secured a medical commission as Major, I could not resist the imperious persuasion of one determined that I should accompany him in my usual capacity. ![]() West had been avid for a chance to serve as surgeon in a great war, and when the chance had come he carried me with him almost against my will. I had not entered the army on my own initiative, but rather as a natural result of the enlistment of the man whose indispensable assistant I was-the celebrated Boston surgical specialist, Dr. In 1915 I was a physician with the rank of First Lieutenant in a Canadian regiment in Flanders, one of many Americans to precede the government itself into the gigantic struggle. Some of these things have made me faint, others have convulsed me with devastating nausea, while still others have made me tremble and look behind me in the dark yet despite the worst of them I believe I can myself relate the most hideous thing of all-the shocking, the unnatural, the unbelievable horror from the shadows.

Maggie's digging and Allison's desperate bid for survival race against each other, until it all comes together at the climax. Meanwhile, Allison's perspective instantly reveals that she is not actually dead but running from a mysterious someone. Maggie learns that her estranged daughter Allison died in a plane crash with her fiance and attempts to piece together the last couple years of her life. That being said, this can be forgiven if you just sit back and enjoy the ride, which is admittedly a fun and easy one. Most of the plot is fairly easy to predict and the one promised "twist" felt a lot more like deus ex machina to me. However, seasoned thriller readers might be a little disappointed by the lack of surprises. The short chapters keep the pacing up and make it easy to zip through. This is the kind of pulpy, plot-based read that you can power through in a single sitting, preferably on the beach or during a plane ride (if the plane crash aspect doesn't make you too nervous). ![]() ![]() ![]() You have what they refer to as brain metastases. ![]() As we suspected, your cancer is no longer contained in the lungs.
