Only he and I know the truth. It's all a ruse. Required to marry in order to seal a fifty-million-dollar deal for his company, billionaire bachelor Adonis Holland offered me fifty thousand dollars to be his fake fiancée for one week.

I have nothing but praise for Shusha Guppy’s excellent book on the Levant… Her insights into the Near East… Her facility with history, art, religions and poetry of those ancient regions… Her traveller’s fascination… These, and many other delights, are presented to us with a captivating informality. – Patrick Leigh Fermor Of previous works by the author: “ The Blindfold Horse is a deeply moving book, evoking a whole civilization which was shaken to dust by the 1979 revolution.” – Anthony Smith, The Times “Looking Back is a feast.

It's the dog's fault, really. If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here: With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it. (Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.) He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.

As America's first foreign missionary, Adoniram Judson thirsted to see the Good News brought to the shrouded land of Burma. His thirst would be quenched, but at an unimaginable price. Adoniram survived starvation, imprisonment, and torture both on land and at sea only to watch his family, coworkers, and friends succumb to death. In spite of heartache and depression, Adoniram Judson translated the entire Bible into Burmese. To this day his work remains the only Burmese translation of the Bible available.

These two great poems date from Shakespeare’s early years and are full of passion and invention. In Venus and Adonis, the goddess of love pleads with the beautiful boy to submit to her advances and become her love - but he only wants to hunt boar. In the more serious Rape of Lucrece, Shakespeare draws on the Roman tale of the Emperor Tarquin’s desire for Lucrece and its tragic consequencies. These poems give prominent parts to the two heroines, and Clare Corbett and Eve Best shine.
