From the first scene, though, it’s clear that showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer isn’t afraid to make a few departures from Lovering’s book.

The series then flashes back to Lucy’s first year of college and proceeds to show us exactly how Lucy and Stephen got involved-and what their relationship ultimately cost, not only the two of them but everyone else in their orbit. Executive produced by Emma Roberts and based on the addictive novel by Carola Lovering, the series introduces us to Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten), a twentysomething woman on her way to her college friend’s engagement party-only to find her biggest-deal ex, Stephen DeMarco (Jackson James White), also in attendance.

Kerber says it is their first original tarot book and card deck in 40 years. It is based on the English magic tradition and spans the period from the reigns of Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth to the Restoration. ![]() Weiser’s big book is The English Magic Tarot (Oct.), with illustrations by Rex Van Ryn and colorist Steve Dooley, written by Andy Letcher. “There has been an explosion of popular interest in tarot,” Kerber says, “and we’re seeing increased demand from both trade bookstores and specialty accounts for tarot books and decks.” His Weiser Books imprint has three upcoming titles. (Tarot was a card game in 15th-century Europe but had evolved into a method of fortune-telling by the 18th century.) Michael Kerber, president of Red Wheel/Weiser, which has been publishing such books for nearly 60 years, says the niche topic has gone mainstream. A major one is tarot, which is a special deck of cards that some say can be interpreted to foretell the future. The desire to see what’s ahead has been fundamental throughout human history, and books about various systems of divination are a key element of the MBS category. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Urn:lcp:wonderfulstoryof00dahl_1:lcpdf:74df8866-00e4-4c82-8d98-f5b9d852540e Extramarc University of Toronto Foldoutcount 0 Identifier wonderfulstoryof00dahl_1 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t31274r8n Isbn 9780141304700Ġ141304707 Lccn 88042878 Ocr tesseract 5.3.0-1-gd3a4 Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Latin Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.9436 Ocr_module_version 0.0.18 Ocr_parameters -l eng Openlibrary OL6806435M Openlibrary_edition 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars.
