They aren’t close, but they’re cordial-as long as neither crosses the other.īut while Lina dismisses the death threats that Adrian starts getting as a routine part of her daughter’s growing celebrity, Adrian can’t help but find the vicious rhymes unsettling. And she’s just as cool-headed and ambitious as her mother. There was no point in dwelling on the past.Ī decade later, Adrian has created her own line of yoga and workout videos, following in Lina’s footsteps but intent on maintaining creative control. Lina, meanwhile, traveled the country promoting her fitness brand and turning it into a billion-dollar business. Soon after, Adrian was dropped off at her grandparents’ house in Maryland, where she spent a long summer drinking lemonade, playing with dogs, making a new best friend-and developing the stirrings of a crush on her friend’s ten-year-old brother. That was the day he nearly killed her-before her mother, Lina, stepped in. The #1 New York Times bestselling author presents a new novel of a mother and a daughter, of ambition and romance, and of a traumatic past reawakened by a terrifying threat…Īdrian Rizzo was seven when she met her father for the first time. In the south of Pavia province the terrain quickly gains height. The Po river runs through the large plain in the North of Italy, the pianura padana, where the risotto rice is produced. Oltrepò literally means “on the other side of the Po”. The Oltrepò Pavese is part of the province of Pavia, in the southern part of Lombardy. The landscape is scattered with vineyards that are freely accessible for hikers or even mountain biking. The Oltrepò happens to be the largest wine producing area of Lombardy and one of the largest in Italy, especially of the pinot nero (pinot noir) that is very suited for the spumante: bubbling champagne-like wines. The area offers smooth hills, medieval villages and castles, panoramic views, authentic Italian food and local wines. This is a pity as the Oltrepò really offers something worthwhile for almost every tourist, especially food and wine lovers. Tourists pass the area closely when travelling to the real Tuscany, to Umbria or further south. Though frequently called the Tuscany of the North of Italy, the Oltrepò Pavese in Lombardy, only 40 miles south of Milan, is fairly unknown abroad.

There's old stuff here by Moriarty, who had published in Raw, and I loved the sketchbook work from Dutch comics artist, Marc Smeets, introduced by a short essay self-deprecatingly titled "An Incomplete Appreciation" by Chris Ware great to see. Whose work do I like in this one? C.F.,Vanessa Davis, Tom Gauld (always). It's a picture of a time, though, and in some ways some of this work would soon be forgotten were it not for collections like this. I also just read #5, which I liked a little better, but I still did like quite a bit of this, actually, as much as I dislike collections, which are inevitably uneven. But it's nice to see them in a kind of historical context, I guess. 2006? And this is the first time I am reading this volume, and by now I have read more expanded versions of work by the included artists. Sammy Harkham's collection, sort of like Raw, a place to go for the avant garde comics of that year… and this was. Makes my knees lock and my feet weigh a hundred pounds.

When she's not writing, working or parenting, Pam likes to read books not aimed at her age group, go to museums and theater performances, and watch far too much television. She currently lives in the metropolitan New Jersey area with her husband and their son. Pam draws inspiration from the places she knows best: she wrote CANDOR while living in a Florida planned community, and set DROUGHT in the woods where she spent her summers as a child. Her mother is not happy that Pam's degrees are stored under her bed. Pam attended college in Boston and finally decided she was finished after earning four degrees: a BS in Journalism, a BA in Environmental Science, a Masters in Library Science and an MBA. With a little persuasion she will belt out tunes from "The Music Man" and "The Fantasticks", but she knows better than to play cello in public anymore. Pam Bachorz grew up in a small town in the Adirondack foothills, where she participated in every performance group and avoided any threat of athletic activity, unless it involved wearing sequined headpieces and treading water.
