Description

Enslaved young woman: We were mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, farmers, priests, merchants, musicians. And for hundreds of years, we were sold into slavery as part of a war, or forcibly stolen from our homes, traded for goods that had come from Europe. Then we were transported thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean. They called it the Middle Passage and it took many weeks. Based in Hull, The Crossings is a Places of Change scheme for the homeless, providing temporary accommodation with support and training. The main draw of North and Middle Caicos are the pristine beaches, coastlines, and wetlands. There’s a vast amount of unspoiled Caribbean wilderness to discover. A child comes up missing. When a child’s bones are found on a beach, the Detective Chief Inspector Harry Nelson asks Ruth Galloway for help to determine if these bones are the final remains of a missing little girl by the name of Lucy Downey. This little girl has been missing for ten years and since her disappearance, Detective Nelson has been receiving weird letters. These weird letters are about the little girl and about sacrifice and rituals.

Elly Griffiths' Ruth Galloway novels take for their inspiration Elly's husband, who gave up a city job to train as an archaeologist, and her aunt who lives on the Norfolk coast and who filled her niece's head with the myths and legends of that area. Elly has two children and lives near Brighton. Though not her first novel, The Crossing Places is her first crime novel. But over the last several decades, there has been significant debate surrounding two other options: a “Bitter Lakes” option (crossing one of the shallow inland lakes much further north of the Gulf of Suez); or notably a Gulf of Aqaba crossing, on the far side of the Sinai Peninsula—leading into what is today Saudi Arabia.A suspenseful, professional-grade north country procedural whose heroine, a deft mix of compassion and attitude, would be welcome to return and tie up the gaping loose end Box leaves. The unrelenting cold makes this the perfect beach read. Mudjin Harbour, located on the central north coast of the island, is widely considered to be the most scenic coast in the Turks and Caicos. This majestic location, with white sand beaches framed by high limestone cliffs and caves, is quite remarkable. When she's not digging up bones or other ancient objects, quirky, tart-tongued archaeologist Ruth Galloway lives happily alone in aremote area called Saltmarshnear Norfolk, land that was sacred to itsIron Ageinhabitants - not quite earth, not quite sea.

Crossley-Holland has written the libretti for two operas by Nicola LeFanu, The Green Children (1966) and The Wildman (1976), and for a chamber opera about Nelson, Haydn, and Emma Hamilton. He has collaborated several times with the composers Arthur Bliss and William Mathias and has written a stage play, The Wuffings (1999). Such was the case with the two-part Red Sea Miracle. But surprisingly, only two general crossing options were presented: a northern Bitter Lakes crossing, termed the “Egyptian approach”—this as a more strictly “scientific,” physical explanation on the film; and a Gulf of Aqaba crossing, termed the “Hebrew approach”—as a literalistic “biblical” approach on the film. Another element to consider here is the Pharaoh’s chase after the Israelites. Exodus 14:5 describes Pharaoh (based in Memphis) changing his mind immediately after “it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled.” He subsequently pursued after them on horses and chariots, only finally catching up with them as they were arriving at the edge of the Red Sea. Are we to believe that his chariots and horsemen only finally caught up with them on the far side of the Sinai Peninsula—some 400 kilometers away?

There is also the religious symbolism of immersion/baptism/purification of the Israelites as a body going “through” the waters of the Red Sea—“purified” of sin. Anthony Johnson was born in Angola, in central Africa. In the 1620s, he was enslaved and taken to Virginia. Dark Angel, which was out early 2018, takes Ruth to Rome to investigate a group of bones in a tiny hilltop village near the Italian capital. Ruth decides to take a much-needed vacation and flies to Italy to Castello Degli Angeli along with her daughter Kate and friend Shona. And this Sinai Peninsula setting would fit well with the biblical account. Because it is immediately after their crossing of the Red Sea that the Israelites are set upon by marauding Amalekites (Exodus 17). The marine environment of the islands is undeniably beautiful. It’s tremendously varied as well. There are the shallow mangrove channels teeming with wildlife, the amazingly turquoise Bottle Creek Lagoon, the rugged cliff coastlines, and spectacular beaches. In short, there’s always something to explore.

Marple: Twelve New Mysteries, 2022 (with Naomi Alderman, Leigh Bardugo, Agatha Christie, Alyssa Cole, Lucy Foley, Natalie Haynes, Jean Kwok, Val McDermid, Karen M McManus, Dreda Say Mitchell, Kate Mosse and Ruth Ware) However, it wasn’t to last. In a few decades, hurricanes, soil erosion, and infestations brought an end to the industry. After the plantation days, the small villages of Kew, Whitby, Bottle Creek, and Bambarra, supported by small-scale fishing and agriculture, replaced the organized cotton and sisal fields. Overgrown and forgotten plantation ruins can still be found in the wilds across the islands. Egypt at this time did have a handful of “frontier” mining outposts in the central and upper Sinai Peninsula. But they were just that— frontier outposts—that had to be constantly guarded from marauding tribes. (Such outposts were also located in the vicinity of Edom and up into Canaan and Syria—where God intended to send the Israelites. Was this territory likewise “Egypt”?) Given the remote location, Egyptian texts reveal repeat skirmishes with marauders and indigenous Arabs—guards had to be posted to deal with the real threat.There are so many beautiful and tranquil coasts to stay on, from the impressive Mudjin Harbour, to the white sands of Whitby Beach and Bambarra Beach. NARRATOR: Here are a few examples: When crossing the road you must make sure that there are no cars coming by looking both ways. When you are a passenger in a car you must always wear your seatbelt. When you are playing outside, you should stay away from the road. If you are ever outside in the evening, you should wear high visibility clothing. When you are riding a bike, you must always wear a helmet. The Bible also describes the Israelites “pitching” in only three different locations before the sea crossing—but it describes them pitching in eight different locations after it, on the way to Mount Sinai (Numbers 33:5-15). Which route fits better? Pedestrians should be kept away from areas where vehicles are working unless they need to be there. A good example of this is quarry working, where drivers are usually not allowed out of their vehicles beyond a certain point to make sure they are safe where large surface mining vehicles are operating.
