Synopsis
Enormously visceral, emotionally gripping, and imbued with the belief that justice is possible even after the most horrific of crimes, Alice Sebold's compelling memoir of her rape at the age of eighteen is a story that takes hold of you and won't let go. Sebold fulfills a promise that she made to herself in the very tunnel where she was raped: someday she would write a book about her experience. With Lucky she delivers on that promise with mordant wit and an eye for life's absurdities, as she describes what she was like both as a young girl before the rape and how that rape changed but did not sink the woman she later became. It is Alice's indomitable spirit that we come to know in these pages. The same young woman who sets her sights on becoming an Ethel Merman-style diva one day (despite her braces, bad complexion, and extra weight) encounters what is still thought of today as the crime from which no woman can ever really recover. In an account that is at once heartrending and hilarious, we see Alice's spirit prevail as she struggles to have a normal college experience in the aftermath of this harrowing, life-changing event. No less gripping is the almost unbelievable role that coincidence plays in the unfolding of Sebold's narrative. Her case, placed in the inactive file, is miraculously opened again six months later when she sees her rapist on the street. This begins the long road to what dominates these pages: the struggle for triumph and understanding -- in the courtroom and outside in the world. Lucky is, quite simply, a real-life thriller. In its literary style and narrative tension we never lose sight of why this life story is worth reading. At the end we are left standing in the wake of devastating violence, and, like the writer, we have come to know what it means to survive., The timeless, fearless, #1 New York Times bestselling memoir from the author of The Lovely Bones --a powerful account of her sexual assault at the age of eighteen and the harrowing trial that followed. In a memoir hailed for its searing candor, as well as its wit, Alice Sebold reveals how her life was transformed when, as an eighteen-year-old college freshman, she was brutally raped and beaten in a park near campus. What ultimately propels this chronicle of sexual assault and its aftermath is Sebold's indomitable spirit, as she fights to secure her rapist's arrest and conviction and comes to terms with a relationship to the world that has forever changed. With over a million copies in print, Lucky has touched the lives of a generation of readers. Sebold illuminates the experience of trauma victims and imparts a wisdom profoundly hard-won: "You save yourself or you remain unsaved," and her story remains as urgent as it was when it was first published more than twenty years ago., No index can claim to be complete, but this one covers the major works of 220 composers from the Middle Ages to the present, listing each composition under its variant names, and giving the composer's last name. Some 6,000 entries are included in this compact volume. A list of the principal sources consulted will help users locate printed editions, recordings of a work, and bibliographical and biographical information about the composers. Music Educators Journal This comprehensive reference guide will serve as a much-needed companion volume to music dictionaries, to the literature of music history, and to composer monographs. Concentrating on major composers from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, it contains over 6,000 entries, listing each composition under its variant names, and giving the composer's last name. A section listing the principal sources consulted will aid the user in locating printed editions, recordings of a work, and biographical and bibliographical information about the composers. Compiled with both the professional and the amateur in mind, this guide will be found useful to an ever-increasing number of music devotees.
