Anne Hamilton

Fuga da Parigi

They all said that Bangladesh would be an experience... For Anne Hamilton, a three-month winter programme of travel and "cultural exchange" in a country where the English language, fair hair, and a rice allergy are all extremely rare was always going to be interesting, challenging, and frustrating. What they didn't tell Anne was that it would also be sunny, funny, and the start of a love affair with this unexplored area of Southeast Asia. A Blonde Bengali Wife shows the lives beyond the poverty, monsoons, and diarrhoea of Bangladesh and charts a vibrant and fascinating place where one minute Anne is levelling a school playing field "fit for the national cricket team," and then cobbling together a sparkly outfit for a formal wedding the next. Along with Anne are the essential ingredients for survival: a travel-savvy Australian sidekick, a heaven-sent adopted family, and a short, dark, and handsome boy-next-door. During her adventures zipping among the dusty clamour of the capital Dhaka, the longest sea beach in the world at Cox's Bazaar, the verdant Sylhet tea gardens, and the voluntary health projects of distant villages, Anne amasses a lot of friends, stories...and even a husband. A Blonde Bengali Wife is the "unexpected travelogue" that reads like a comedy of manners to tell the other side of the story of Bangladesh. All money earned from A Blonde Bengali Wife goes direct to the charity, Bhola's Children, of which the author and agent are active participants. A Blonde Bengali Wife isn't about Bhola but it is a tribute to Anne's journeys into Bangladesh and all the friends she has made there. Most of all, it is the story of the country that inspired Bhola's Children.

What do banners, forgiveness, 1111, submission, armour and kisses have in common? To those of us trained in a Greek- mechanistic or western worldview, there is no possible connection. To an ancient Hebrew thinker such as the apostle Paul, however, these concepts all speak of nasa'. In God's Panoply, multi-disciplinary researcher and award-winning author Anne Hamilton invites us to join her in adopting a Hebrew mindset. The purpose? To discover deeper layers of meaning in such fundamental biblical concepts as covenant, spiritual warfare, justice, mercy and marriage. In doing so we find a promise and a challenge: blessings await those who lift up their God and their brothers and sisters in Christ.

If ever there's a time to expect the unexpected, it's when we finally 'pass over' the threshold. Waiting for us is a test. Not just any old test. Abraham, on cutting a threshold covenant with God, re-did precisely the same test he'd failed when he went down to Egypt. When he failed again, the test passed down--with eerie exactitude--to his son Isaac. 'Do you trust Me now?' is God's question on the far side of the threshold. When we're there, the tests our forbears failed might be waiting for us. But, as Jesus shows, trusting God doesn't have to be an extravagant show. World-mending is simple, unpretentious and one-to-one.

The world's first UNESCO city of literature, Edinburgh is steeped in literary history. It is the birthplace of a beloved cast of fictional characters from Sherlock Holmes to Harry Potter. It is the home of the Writer's Museum, where quotes from writers of the past pave the steps leading up to it. A city whose beauty is matched only by the intrigue of its past, and where Robert Louis Stevenson said, 'there are no stars so lovely as Edinburgh's street-lamps'. And to celebrate the city, its literature, and more importantly, its people, Polygon and the One City Trust have brought together writers -- established and emerging -- to write about the place they call home. Based around landmarks or significant links to Edinburgh each story transports the reader to a different decade in the city's recent past. Through these stories each author reflects on the changes, both generational and physical, in the city in which we live.
