Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

How Bright Are All Things Here

What shall I talk about? Love and art? Life and death? Or flowers. Flowers are nice. Bliss Henderson has lived a flawed, passionate life. She was an isolated child, a budding artist, and a sophisticated career woman in 1960s London. Through marriages and friendships, ambition and achievement, love and loss and redemption, the witty, irreverent and not always wise Bliss embraced her motto, 'amor fati': love your fate. Now in her final days, Bliss excavates the layers of her past through a haze of morphine, unearthing memories and feelings she's forgotten; regrets, losses, grief. And secrets, secrets she never meant to tell anyone. To her three remaining step-children - now adults themselves - Bliss was a woman without a past. However, as Bliss mines her memory, time twists and loops, characters fade in and out, and to her step-children the frail Bliss is suddenly more fleshed-out and real than she has ever been before. And once they know it all, once they have untangled their connecting, conflicting, inextricably entwined stories, how will they judge her?
