See James Bond through the eyes of his lover, Vivienne Michel, in the tenth of Fleming's Bond adventures. Vivienne is running, from her past and from the evil brothers Sol Horror and Sluggsy Morant, and when 007 arrives at the Dreamy Pines Motor Court, in the north of New York State, he is her only hope.
"The novel is steeped in complex personality studies, lyrical prose, and richly drawn depictions of Mr. Burke's beloved bayou country." (The New York Times) "With peerless naturalistic descriptions and lush, metaphysical imagery, Burke creates another challenging morality play for his flawed, everyman hero." (Publishers Weekly) "Everything that makes this series so compelling - the elegiac, seductively lyrical prose; the complex character of Robicheaux; the lovingly evoked bayou setting - is here in abundance....The fact remains that no serious reader of hard-boiled fiction should ever miss a moment of Dave Robicheaux in action." (Booklist)

Welcome to English Teaching Forum , a quarterly journal published by the U.S. Department of State for teachers of English as a foreign or second language. Over 77,000 copies of the magazine are distributed in more than 100 countries. Most of the authors published in English Teaching Forum are classroom teachers.
As with most books written by politicians while in office (or at least aiming for one), Living History is, first and foremost, safe. There are interesting observations and anecdotes, the writing is engaging, and there is enough inside scoop to appeal to those looking for a bit of gossip, but there are no bombshells here and it is doubtful the book will change many minds about this polarizing figure. This does not mean the work is without merit, however, for Hillary Clinton has much to say about her experience as first lady, which is the primary focus of the book.
