Fans of Howard Norman, the internationally acclaimed author of The Hunting of L and The Bird Artist and a two-time National Book Award finalist, will find in this novel--an intense and intriguingly unconventional love story--all the hallmarks of this masterly writer: sparkling yet spare language, a totally compelling air of mystery spread over our workaday world, and ability to capture the metaphorical heartbeat at the center of our lives. Like many of Howard Norman's celebrated novels, Devotion begins with an announcement of a crime: on August 19, 1985, David Kozol and his father-in-law engaged in "assault by mutual affray." Norman sets out to explore a great mystery: why seemingly quiet, contained people lose control. David and Maggie's story seemed straightforward enough; they met in a hotel lobby in London. For David, the simple fact was love at first sight. For Maggie, the attraction was similarly sudden and unprecedented in intensity. Their love affair, "A fugue state of amorous devotion," turned into a whirlwind romance and marriage. So what could possibly enrage David enough that he would strike at the father of his new bride? Why would William, a gentle man who looks after an estate--and its flock of swans--in Nova Scotia, be so angry at the man who has just married his beloved only child, Maggie? And what would lead Maggie to believe that David has been unfaithful to her? In his signature style--haunting and evocative--Norman lays bare the inventive stupidities people are capable of when wounded and confused. At its core, Devotion is an elegantly constructed, never sentimental examination of love: romantic love (and its flip side, hate), filial love at its most tender, and, of course, love for the vast open spaces of Nova Scotia.Binding Type: Paperback

Great bedding at a great price!
Color: Tide Pool Blue, Size: King
I can’t believe how great this is for the price! Super soft, comfy and very warm. Perfect for wintertime. I don’t think I’d use it for other seasons…but it’s great right now.

Warm, soft, cozy… not very fluffy though
Color: Tide Pool Blue, Size: Full/Queen
I LOVE this comforter!! The color is beautiful, it’s super soft, it’s nice and warm, and it has a nice weight to it.
I will say it isn’t as fluffy as it seems in the pictures, there doesn’t seem to be any filling between the 2 layers, and if there is, it’s minimal. It’s more like the thickness of a similar double sided throw blanket.
It also has the tendency to grab any small debris which clings to it, but this is to be expected with this type of fabric. I would not recommend this comforter for pet owners as it will definitely be covered in hair and whatever else your furbabies may track in!
Despite the lack of fluffiness and it constantly holding on to any loose thread or other random debris, I am still very happy with my purchase. Very good comforter for the price and it looks beautiful on the bed!!

I originally got the King set & loved it so much I ordered another in Queen size!
Color: Charcoal, Size: King
I didn't add a picture because the advertised picture is exactly what it looks like (and my beds not made at the moment, lol). It's so soft, comfortable, cosey and warm. It's thicker and fluffier than I expected, but still very lightweight. The price was great for a king size bed with 2 king sized pillow cases! I love it so much I ordered a second set in Queen size, just to have the cases for my smaller queen pillows that go in front of the King pillows and to have the extra blanket as a cozy throw. The only drawback is it does snag easily on rings, fingernails, etc. (also another reason I ordered the second one to lay across the places that I've snagged & a few that were already snagged when I got them). However, it's so cozy that I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it back and having to wait for a new one! I'm very glad that it was suggested as an add on when I ordered the mattress pad & that I chose to add it on. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone!
