More than twenty years after the classic The Transit of Venus, Shirley Hazzard returns to fiction with a novel that in the words of Ann Patchett is brilliant and dazzling...

The Great Fire is an extraordinary love story set in the immediate aftermath of the great conflagration of the Second World War. In war-torn Asia and stricken Europe, men and women, still young but veterans of harsh experience, must reinvent their lives and expectations, and learn, from their past, to dream again. Some will fulfill their destinies, others will falter. At the center of the story, a brave and brilliant soldier finds that survival and worldly achievement are not enough. His counterpart, a young girl living in occupied Japan and tending her dying brother, falls in love, and in the process discovers herself.

In the looming shadow of world enmities resumed, and of Asia's coming centrality in world affairs, a man and a woman seek to recover self-reliance, balance, and tenderness, struggling to reclaim their humanity. The Great Fire is a story of love in the aftermath of war by purely and simply, one of the greatest writers working in English today. (Michael Cunningham)

The Great Fire is the winner of the 2003 National Book Award for Fiction.

Buena calidad
Color: Wine To Five, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this lip gloss! The packaging is sleek and elegant, and the product itself feels lightweight and smooth on the lips. It gives a beautiful, natural shine without feeling sticky, which is a huge plus for me. The color is soft and flattering, perfect for everyday wear. It also keeps my lips feeling hydrated for hours. Definitely a great value for the price—I would highly recommend it!

Great lipstick
Color: 585 Mauve Muse, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
My favorite lipstick. I started using this product during Covid, when we had to wear a mask at work. The lipstick truly does not rub off until you take it off with makeup remover.

Not matte, very shiny
Color: 575 Cherry Cordial, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
It’s very shiny. In the picture it looks matte so I was kinda disappointed. It says on but kinda makes your lips look dry so you have to keep applying the balm.

Easy to handle
Style: Lawn Edger w/(1) 4.0 Ah Battery
This is fantastic. It was a breeze to put together, the battery lasts a good 45 minutes or more, it is easy to handle, and does a terrific job of edging the concrete driveway. the roadside curb, and the borders of my flower beds. It is not too heavy and has loads of power. I am a 5'1" woman 81 years old and this tool is very easy for me to use and carry. The size is not too long even for me to maneuver. It is easy to lean if you get clumps of dirt in the housing for the blade and it is adjustable to suit the depth needed at the time. It seems very well made. The price was reasonable and I think we may be friends for quite a whole.
