Everything Will Be All Right: A Novel by Tessa Hadley

The profoundly different choices of a mother and her daughter infuse this rich, expansive novel with both intimate detail and wide resonance

When Joyce Stevenson is thirteen, her family moves to the south of England to live with their aunt Vera. Joyce’s mother, Lil, is a widow; Vera has a husband who keeps his suits in the wardrobe but spends evenings at another house nearby. While the two sisters couldn’t be more different-Vera, a teacher, has unquestioning belief in the powers of education and reason; Lil puts her faith in séances-they work together to form a tight-knit family.

Joyce sees that there is something missing in their lives: men. She doesn’t want to end up like her aunt Vera, rejected by her husband. Joyce discovers art at school: she falls in love with the Impressionists and, eventually, with one of her teachers. In spite of the temptations of the sixties, she is determined to make her marriage and motherhood a success. When Joyce’s daughter, Zoe, grows up and has a baby of her own, however, she proves to be impatient with domestic life and chooses a dramatically different path.

Spanning five decades of extraordinary changes in women’s lives, Everything Will Be All Right explores the complicated relationships of a family. The young ones of each generation are sure that they can correct the mistakes of their parents; the truth, of course, is more opaque. Intricate and insightful, Everything Will Be All Right firmly establishes Tessa Hadley among the great contemporary observers of the human mind and heart.

There, a silent waif known only as Miss Girl opens Grace’s eyes to new love and purpose. She’s determined to save this girl who lost her entire family in the hurricane and now slips along the shadows of the unfinished seawall with a mysterious resolve.

Soon, the lives of the three young women will converge as betrayal, mistaken identity, and a family secret sweep them toward a future that defies all expectations.

So what did the military want with Dr. Christopher Lin?

By the time his helicopter ride was on the ground, he wasn’t a ZOO virgin any longer.

The government needs the best of the best military and scientific minds working out how to pull the secrets from the ZOO, while keeping the deadly fauna and flora in check.

There is one major problem, the ZOO is transforming too quickly, and they didn’t even have the basic information from the Bio-Domes on what went wrong.

Get Rich Or Die Trying

A new species of Death walking?

Dr. Christopher Lin works out a possible solution to the phantom Chimera which is slowly tearing down Wall 01. A wall which protects humanity from that which is inside the ZOO.

He has the perfect solution and volunteers to head a party into the ZOO to kill the shadowy creature, before it grounds down the U.S. Section of Wall 01.

The only problem? The “Boss” approves the mission, with a few minor changes Chris wasn’t expecting.

By the time he recognizes the change in plans, it’s too late to stop the mission.

The government needs the best of the best military and scientific minds working out how to pull the secrets from the ZOO, while keeping the deadly fauna and flora in check.

In the end, will Chris choose to save his friend? Will the potential sacrifice be worth it?

Ambassadors and Scorpions

What will it take to keep a good man down?

Wallace has received orders, but can they be serious?

Other governments want in on the action in the Sahara.

Sometimes, the ZOO is too much for just a few countries to control. Even with the big boys of the world working together, it is highly questionable if they can protect every inch of the walls surrounding the ZOO.

With idiot politicians in tow, Wallace has to trudge back into the ZOO once more.

Even an unquestioning soldier can be pushed too far.

Join Dr. Christopher Lin as he learns about the ZOO, how to stay alive and the opportunities that being a part of the ZOO has brought humanity.

The future is looking interesting and humorous, except for the death part.
