Certainly the tragic story of Ian wasn’t unique among musicians or among most of us. Many of our careers and agenda lead us into directions away from our loved ones, and often into the arms of others we find there. More broadly interpreted, the lyrics reflect the universality of the tenuous nature of all of our relationships. The title is an ironic reference to Captain & Tennille’s “Love Will Keep Us Together”. Ian fell in love with Annik and the affair weighed heavily on him. Debbie remained at home with their child and Ian had an affair with a Belgian woman by the name of Annik Honoré. The lyrics ostensibly reflect the problems in Ian Curtis’s marriage to Deborah Curtis, as well as his general frame of mind in the time leading up to his suicide in May 1980.Ĭurtis was not faithful to his wife while touring with Joy Division.

Through the streets of Washington, D.C., and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed. What starts off as an inquiry about missing bank funds in the Knight account leads to inquiries about a missing man, missing gold, and a life-and-death race across the country. At least Riley Moon thought it was her dream job, until she is given her first assignment: babysitting Emerson Knight. Her aggressive Texas spitfire attitude has helped her land her dream job as a junior analyst with mega-bank Blane-Grunwald. Good thing he’s also brilliant, rich, and (some people might say) handsome, or he’d probably be homeless. Riley Moon has just graduated from Harvard Business and Harvard Law.
I feel like the translator could have pointed out the inconsistencies and added more notes concerning the content for a better understanding of the text instead of presenting the reader with an at times confusing flow of events with barely any explanation to go with it except a few musings at the beginning of each story. The phrasing of the dialogue was backwards, some of the expressions were hard to understand and a lot of the content was conflicting, especially where different variants of the story existed as well as missing segments. I’m not sure what the translation conventions are concerning old Irish texts, but I feel like a lot more could have been done for the flow of the text as well as its explanation. I was a bit frustrated with this book due to the way it was translated. Seton was not known as a Gothic novelist. It’s kind of like Game of Thrones without dragons. She is probably best known for her novel Katherine, about John of Gaunt’s mistress Katherine Swynford, whose descendants included Henry VIII.īy the way, why has no one made a movie or miniseries out of this novel? The recent resurgence in costume dramas would seem like a perfect time to bring it to the screen. The 1944 Gothic novel Dragonwyck was written by Anya Seton, one of my favorite historical novelists when I was growing up. Read the rest of the darkly creepy posts HERE!

There’s lots of science talk at the start to underscore the tone of the book.

We meet the ship and its crew and the facilities on board. By some seen as the quintessential hard-SF book, the science drives the plot while the characters merely try to cope with what’s happening.Īt the start of the novel, a Star Trek like surrounding is sketched.
