Summary
“Cleopatra has all the best lines,” Fabian says. “All’s but naught, and impatience does become a dog that’s mad. Then is it sin to rush into the secret bourse of death, ‘ere death dare come to us?”
Billy’s eyes are fixed on him, drinking it in as if Fabian’s words are the best liquor the West has to offer. Fabian, used to an audience, shouldn’t be intimidated, but there’s something different about reciting poetry to a man who has clearly known little and wants more. The words aren’t his, but he still feels important.

Summary
When Harlan Thrombey was a junior reporter at a small-town Louisiana newspaper, a woman walked into his office to say she was going to be accused of a murder that hadn’t taken place yet, left before finishing her story, and disappeared never to be heard from again. While going through his papers, Marta reads the account in one of Harlan’s old journals and is determined to find out what happened.
Benoit has been contently enjoying some much-needed downtime, but with Marta in need of assistance and his own father somehow involved in the case, he’s compelled to join the investigation.
Working together, they unravel a sixty-year-old mystery, which reveals that history does, in fact, repeat itself, and along the way, discover that the most important question of all may be: what comes next?

Summary
The Yi city was place of inevitable death and tired grief, of abandoned people and fading memories, where tears dried out soon and joy withered in void.
It called to itself people broken and crying, ruined and ruiners, and it was place where people either slid down below unremembered and unimportant, or where tragedies were crafted by destiny and worst luck.
But perhaps, something beautiful and gentle might be grown there?
