Lakunle is surprised, but claims he is above the taunts of savages. Sidi replies that in reality everyone knows Lakunle is a madman and is full of words and curses he is the one people call a fool. He asks if she does not care about the names or the jokes or the lusting of men. Also, he adds, she ought to cover her shoulders because people look at her and lust after her.Īnnoyed, Sidi replies that she has already fixed the fold on her dress and cannot do more or she wouldn’t be able to move her arms. He agrees but says it is unwomanly to carry loads thusly. He admonishes her that she should not carry things on her head because her neck will be squashed, but she retorts that he said he did not care about her looks before. Lakunle tries to help Sidi with her pail, but she refuses. He is 23 years old, dressed cleanly but in older clothes. The schoolmaster, Lakunle, looks out the window, then shuts it and comes outside to Sidi. Sidi enters, carrying a pail on her head. There is a bush school with children chanting arithmetic. The setting is a clearing on the edge of the market with a large “odan” tree this is the village of Ilujinle’s center.

Ray Coleman's Lennon: The Definitive Biography is a conscientious but tame account by a British journalist who knew and admired him, while Albert Goldman's The Lives of John Lennon is a vengeful, self-righteous hatchet job that makes no attempt to separate fact from fiction. Any biographer who aspires to capture the Beatles' putative leader in all his brilliant and obscene glory has to wrestle with a few basic questions: How did a restless, angry and minimally educated young man from a terminally depressed British seaport rise to lead the foremost pop-music group of the 20th century? Was John Lennon truly one of the postwar generation's most creative figures or just a fleeting curiosity?Īnd how can one reconcile the drug-addled, abrasive and gleefully malicious egotist who produced such tripe as Revolution Number Nine, Two Virgins and The Fly with the musical genius responsible for A Day in the Life, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Strawberry Fields?įor all the hundreds of Beatles books, there have been few biographies of the band's most intriguing and troubled member. Its population has doubled in the last generation, through the natural accretion of its own attractiveness as a place to live and work, and through the development of Prince Charles’ planned community of Poundbury on the Duchy of Cornwall estates at Dorchester’s outskirts. Today, the market town is the county town of Dorset. Indeed, one of its themes is that the old rural way of life unbroken for centuries was being changed by the “modern” world. In that sense, The Mayor was a “historical novel” when he wrote it. Hardy readily acknowledged that he was writing of the town and its life as he remembered it as a boy. It was changing dramatically during his lifetime, and by the time of his death in 1928 was scarcely the rural backwater he knew as a boy and fictionalized in his art. Of course, Dorchester has changed a good deal since Thomas Hardy knew it. Hardy’s 1885 tragic novel The Mayor of Casterbridge, though, is set almost entirely within walking distance of Dorchester’s town center -the marketplace and the Corn Exchange. He set many poems here and many of the scenes of Under the Greenwood Tree, The Trumpet Major and Far from the Madding Crowd. As Casterbridge, Dorchester featured prominently in Hardy’s works. Now to get out alive they have to turn against their own organization, relying on experience and each other to get the job done, knowing that working together is the secret to their survival. Only the Board, the top-level members of the Museum, can order the termination of field agents, and the women realize they’ve been marked for death. When the foursome is sent on an all-expenses paid vacation to mark their retirement, they are targeted by one of their own. Now their talents are considered old-school and no one appreciates what they have to offer in an age that relies more on technology than people skills. They’ve spent their lives as the deadliest assassins in a clandestine international organization, but now that they’re sixty years old, four women friends can’t just retire – it’s kill or be killed in this action-packed thriller.īillie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie have worked for the Museum, an elite network of assassins, for forty years.
