A disturbing portrait of a modern American family 'Imagine Richard

rules' Christian Kiefer, author of Phantoms 'I enjoyed every minute
of it' Chris Power, author of Mothers 'A stunningly accurate
portrayal . . . shining with vivid dialogue and observation' Chloe
Aridjis, author of Sea Monsters '[A]n exuberant, comic,
irresistibly dark examination of contemporary anxieties' Vanity
Fair 'An exquisite balance of humour and pathos' Lunate An
extraordinary debut novel by Natasha Randall, exposing the seam of
secrets within an American family, from beneath the plastic
surfaces of their new 'smart' home. Love Orange charts the gentle
absurdities of their lives, and the devastating consequences of
casual choices. While Hank struggles with his lack of professional
success, his wife Jenny, feeling stuck and beset by an urge to do
good, becomes ensnared in a dangerous correspondence with a prison
inmate called John. Letter by letter, John pinches Jenny awake from
the "marshmallow numbness" of her life. The children, meanwhile,
unwittingly disturb the foundations of their home life with forays
into the dark net and strange geological experiments. Jenny's bid
for freedom takes a sour turn when she becomes the go-between for
John and his wife, and develops an unnatural obsession for the
orange glue that seals his letters... Love Orange throws open the
blinds of American life, showing a family facing up to the modern
age, from the ascendancy of technology, the predicaments of
masculinity, the pathologising of children, the epidemic of opioid
addiction and the tyranny of the WhatsApp Gods. The first novel by
the acclaimed translator is a comic cocktail, an exuberant
skewering of contemporary anxieties and prejudices.
"After-death communications," or "ADCs, " occur when someone is contacted spontaneously and directly by a deceased family member or friend, without the help of any medium. The authors' research shows that these spiritual experiences offer hope, love, and comfort for thousands of people. Included are more than 350 first-hand accounts of those whose lives have been changed and even protected by messages or signs from the deceased.

A fascinating story of spirits and conjurors, skeptics and converts
in the second half of nineteenth century America viewed through the
lives of Kate and Maggie Fox, the sisters whose purported
communication with the dead gave rise to the Spiritualism movement
- and whose recanting forty years later is still shrouded in
mystery.
In March of 1848, Kate and Maggie Fox - sisters aged 11 and 14 -
anxiously reported to a neighbor that they had been hearing
strange, unidentified sounds in their house. From a sequence of
knocks and rattles translated by the young girls as a "voice from
beyond," the Modern Spiritualism movement was born.
"Talking to the Dead" follows the fascinating story of the two
girls who were catapulted into an odd limelight after communicating
with spirits that March night. Within a few years, tens of
thousands of Americans were flocking to seances. An international
movement followed. Yet thirty years after those first knocks, the
sisters shocked the country by denying they had ever contacted
spirits. Shortly after, the sisters once again changed their story
and reaffirmed their belief in the spirit world. Weisberg traces
not only the lives of the Fox sisters and their family (including
their mysterious Svengali-like sister Leah) but also the social,
religious, economic and political climates that provided the
breeding ground for the movement. While this is a thorough,
compelling overview of a potent time in US history, it is also an
incredible ghost story.
An entertaining read - a story of spirits and conjurors,
skeptics and converts - "Talking to the Dead" is full of emotion
and surprise. Yet it will also provoke questions that were being
asked in the 19thcentury, and are still being asked today - how do
we know what we know, and how secure are we in our knowledge?
