The time period of the novel spans the life of Jewel Carpenter McLain (1900-1995) from the age of fourteen to a few months after her death. As a precocious child living in India, Jewel receives most of her education from an Indian scholar-tutor and from her parents library. Even at this early stage she already has an uncompromising aversion to violence. At nineteen, she leaves India for Cambridge to continue studying languages. She is diverted from her studies by an encounter with very poor children and devotes much of her time helping them and educating them. Malcolm McLain, who had met her in India convinces Jewel to marry him, to move with him to the United States, and to help him use his inherited wealth to help people in need. Jewel continues to help destitute people wherever she finds them for the rest of her life. A second story line concerns an American of Lebanese descent, Yussuf Aqami, an electrical engineer who marries Harriet Adnan, a Turkish-born musician. Shortly after their marriage, Yussuf becomes an international dealer in weapons. This distresses his wife, who, along with her artistic friends, has spent much of her time protesting the United Statess use of military force in international affairs. However, she feels bound to Yussuf both because of Islamic tradition and because she is pregnant. It takes another seventeen years for Harriet to leave Yussuf when he develops an hysterical fear of being assassinated. Yussuf finds refuge from his fear by losing himself in a large crowd of people, part of a growing international cult, who assemble to listen to a mysterious flute. A third story line involves an assortment of scientists: biochemists Dante Peroni and Sybil Sporn, and several others from various fields. Sybil meets Jewel McLain one day in Bombay, where Jewel tries to convince her to pursue particularly challenging research even though it may jeopardize her career by not producing immediate publications. Several years later, when Sybil decides to search for a genetic cause of violence, Jewel agrees to finance a small research institute for this purpose, and Dante joins Sybil in the enterprise. The research group is beset by a dilemma of how to distinguish violent people from the nonviolent. (A distracting example is a man with a lifelong devotion to nonviolence, who spends the final months of his life assassinating weapons merchants as a means of promoting peace in the world.) In the end, using the blood of prison inmates who are differentiated for their violent or nonviolent attributes by their wardens, the research group finds a correlation that suggests that they are on the road to finding the correct gene. A correlation, of course, may be meaningless. Todd Werben, a young black chemist, is very concerned about the possible abuses of their discovery if they should ever succeed. The cult of those who listen to a mysterious flute encompasses a growing portion of the world and touches the lives of almost everyone in the novel.

Roses Have Thorns Sarah had been happy working at the hospital -- until Radolf Nauta interfered and left her jobless. Forced to find other means to support herself, she was totally unprepared when she ran into the domineering Radolf again -- and he hadn't changed one bit! The only problem Sarah had? She soon realised that her heart now belonged to him, and there was nothing she could do to fight it. A Girl Named Rose Through pure chance, Rose met Sybren Werdmer ter Sane, one of the most eminent surgeons in Holland. Their accidental encounter led to a job for Rose, nursing Sybren's godson. She loved everything about her new life -- including Sybren! But surely such an important man wouldn't have time to take an interest in her. Yet what Rose didn't realise was that she had the gift of love, and it touched everyone around her -- even hard-hearted surgeons. Roses And Champagne Katrina has known Lucius Massey all her life, and her childish hero worship has grown into a comfortable, warm friendship. They're so at ease in their friendship that a pretend engagement to each other to teach Katrina's selfish sister Virginia a lesson strikes both as a worthwhile but harmless idea. Yet as more and more people congratulate Katrina on her match, a mysterious sadness begins to creep into her heart...

“Roses Amidst the Thorns” is a collection of poems which traces a couple’s intimate, twenty year relationship--their young, uninhibited love, their mature spiritual love, the breakdown of their love and the acceptance of the changes in their love. It is my hope by writing these poems to stimulate the reader in such a manner that they realize loving is universal. It is the most powerful force which governs the paths of our lives. At one time or another, we all move into similar phases within relationships. We experience common feelings, feelings which are not so unique to ourselves as they are to the human condition. Hopefully, we learn as a group to regard and cherish the rose (our loves) amidst the thorns (society and self-gratification) so that we may nurture our relationships seeking guidance, wisdom and strength from God, instead of watching them wither and die. ROSES AMIDST THE THORNS Our love began as a tiny bud. An introduction by a close friend, A flashed smile, a quick flirtation, Gentle touches with long conversations Lasting into the night. You were fire and ice A whirlwind wanting to change Your surroundings. I was struck by the sheer electricity Around you. As you entered a room An aura of blue light flooded your countenance. I felt caught up in the glow of your illumination. Tremendous growth occurred with you. The petals of my sheltered life Gently began to open. I blossomed into a radiant woman. Unafraid, I turned myself to your exposure. I drank in your rays and basted in the comfort Of your love. Encased within the beauty of the rose Are the sharp thorns which surface Randomly on the stem. I took each thorn as it emerged. Lifting my petals so they wouldn’t tear Into my blossoms. I was contented because you wanted me. The stem was strengthened By the outpouring of love and attention You showered upon me. I grew, radiated pastel colors And opened completely. For a long time I remained In this blossomed state. Taking for granted that the warmth Of your love and the light Which beamed from you Would always be there. Blinded by my comfort, I chose not to see the changes in the seasons. Yes, my petals shivered When the cold set in. But I could visualize the glow and warmth. I paid no attention to the real climate. I mentally created my own environment. For me I was still that beautiful rose You tended and loved. By the time I realized I was withered And in danger of dying I had no strength to pull my stem up. As I tried My petals gently fell to the ground. Now instead of a beautiful rose, Was a stick with thorns Lying crushed in the dirt. But as with all God’s creations He affords us the chance of rebirth And new spirit. I look forward to the Spring When all things are new. And life begins again. I WATCHED YOU CHANGE I watched you change, From the person I loved, became a part of and respected, Into someone dark, deceiving and unfeeling. Perhaps you were right. Maybe I never knew the real you. If so, I’m glad I knew The person you pretended to be. For in that person Lived kindness, strength and unshakable faith. A spiritual giant, Who inspired me to believe And reach for the stars. A gentle spirit, loving Yet firm with his children. A passionate lover, an understanding friend. I watched the metamorphosis take place. Exchanging honesty with lies, Caring with manipulation, Loving with indifference, And I mourn for my husband now lost. I watched you change. I stood by and did nothing. False pride, pain and jealously Kept me from reaching out to you. I can only hope Someday you’ll discover The courage to find yourself again. This time allowing God To make the changes in you That I’ve prayed He’d make in me. SEPARATING For me the time has come To separate myself from you. The pain of feeling our marriage Being ripped apart Is more than I can bear. I thought

Winner of the ALA Reading List Award Difficult and obstinate. Thriving under a set of specific and limited conditions. That pretty much describes me. Maybe that’s why I like these roses so much. Roses are Galilee Garner’s passion. An amateur breeder, she painstakingly cross-pollinates her plants to coax out new, better traits, striving to create a perfect strain of her favorite flower, the Hulthemia. Her dream is to win a major rose competition and one day have her version of the bloom sold in the commercial market. Gal carefully calibrates the rest of her time to manage the kidney failure she’s had since childhood, going to dialysis every other night, and teaching high school biology, where she is known for her exacting standards. The routine leaves little room for relationships, and Gal prefers it that way. Her roses never disappoint her the way people have. Then one afternoon, Riley, the teenaged daughter of Gal’s estranged sister, arrives unannounced to live with her, turning Gal’s orderly existence upside down. Suddenly forced to adjust to each other’s worlds, both will discover a resilience they never knew they had and a bond they never knew they needed.

Roses, pleasure and politics: a fresh take on Orwell as an avid gardener, whose political writing was grounded in his passion for the natural world. 'I loved this book... An exhilarating romp through Orwell's life and times' Margaret Atwood 'Expansive and thought-provoking' Independent Outside my work the thing I care most about is gardening - George Orwell Inspired by her encounter with the surviving roses that Orwell is said to have planted in his cottage in Hertfordshire, Rebecca Solnit explores how his involvement with plants, particularly flowers, illuminates his other commitments as a writer and antifascist, and the intertwined politics of nature and power. Following his journey from the coal mines of England to taking up arms in the Spanish Civil War; from his prescient critique of Stalin to his analysis of the relationship between lies and authoritarianism, Solnit finds a more hopeful Orwell, whose love of nature pulses through his work and actions. And in her dialogue with the author, she makes fascinating forays into colonial legacies in the flower garden, discovers photographer Tina Modotti's roses, reveals Stalin's obsession with growing lemons in impossibly cold conditions, and exposes the brutal rose industry in Colombia. A fresh reading of a towering figure of the 20th century which finds solace and solutions for the political and environmental challenges we face today, Orwell's Roses is a remarkable reflection on pleasure, beauty, and joy as acts of resistance. 'Luminous...It is efflorescent, a study that seeds and blooms, propagates thoughts, and tends to historical associations' New Statesman 'A genuinely extraordinary mind, whose curiosity, intelligence and willingness to learn seem unbounded' Irish Times
