To renovate the complex but keep rent down, the city and county are considering investing $12 million so affordable housing developers can buy it and fix it up. “I suppose I feel like I have changed as a writer and I wanted the work to be deeper, and sort of cooler, and maybe slower, even though I still think, don’t say slower, no one is going to want to read that. But also, when I think about the book, all that anxiety falls away. The novel is about a woman who abandons her job, home and husband to live with a rural community of nuns. She is not religious, but she participates in their rituals, seeking peace in her passivity. I mean, I think when you have two parents dying of cancer when they’re young, you’re sort of like, it doesn’t look good,” says Wood, who lives in Sydney’s inner west.

"This will definitely help us keep people housed and this will help us address [the] affordable housing crisis," Councilwoman Dimple Ajmera said at the May city council meeting where the proposal was presented. The novel is also the first time Wood has written directly about her mother, and her grief at her death nearly three decades ago. Her mother was a deeply private and reserved person, whom Wood feels she never really knew. She never talked about approaching death after her brain cancer diagnosis, Wood says, preferring to stick to the practicalities. The narrator of her new novel is a woman in political retreat, grappling with her own “vision of failure” to affect change. Stone Yard Devotional is Wood’s 10th book, more acutely personal than her previous work.

Both, if they put aside preconceptions, will enjoy this playful and moving feminist fairytale. Middleton, who is currently being treated with chemotherapy, explained in her announcement video that she delayed sharing to help George, Charlotte and Louis “process” the news in an “appropriate” way.

Prince William, 41, and Princess Kate, 42, have issued a new portrait (or portraits) of each of their children in honor of their birthdays since 10-year-old Prince George was a baby. The sweet portrait was also reposted on the royal family's official Instagram and X pages, which share updates on King Charles, Queen Camilla and other royals. Do you have a question about King Charles III, William and Kate, Meghan and Harry, or their family that you would like our experienced royal correspondents to answer? Charlotte joined her family for Princess Kate's annual "Together at Christmas" community carol concert at Westminster Abbey on December 8, 2023. The princess was met by members of the clergy and watched musical artists such as Jacob Collier perform. Charlotte's eighth birthday was marked with a new portrait taken in 2023 by her mother, Princess Kate.

Law Enforcement Officers Are Shot in Charlotte

Her regal curtsies and composure during these appearances have won her praise online and a growing fan base among royal watchers. Stone Yard Devotional offers line-by-line writing that haunts, and descriptions and ways of seeing the world that linger. Ideas of “rightness”, “risk” and “belonging” are further explored when the skeletal remains of a murdered nun are returned to the compound from Thailand, where she had moved to work with battered women. As I grew into my twenties, then thirties […] I began to understand how rare such a simple and powerful trust had been. I wished again that I had been able to say any of this to her when she lived. Virginia’s chapter of the NAACP might take Gov. Glenn Youngkin to court over an alleged failure to respond to public records requests.

Along with the junk they unearth old conflicts – and a big secret. HuffPost believes news should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay for it. Any contribution you can make — even as little as $2 — goes directly toward supporting the impactful journalism that we will continue to produce this year. "We mourn for them and their loved ones. And we pray for the recoveries of the courageous officers who were wounded," the president said in a statement. He also called for more funding for law enforcement and for Congress to do more to combat gun violence. In February, two police officers and a paramedic were killed near Minneapolis after a man, who was barricaded in his home, opened fire on the police.

Wood’s oldest sister, who received the diagnosis first after a routine scan, prompting the other siblings to get tested, was the same age as their mother had been when she died of brain cancer when Wood was 28. Their father had died, 10 years before their mother, of stomach cancer when Wood was 19. She admires Anne Enright, Deborah Levy, Joan London, Jude Rae, Céline Sciamma, Joan Silber, Elizabeth Strout – women whose ostensibly quiet art “is about more than one thing”. A mother and teenage daughter walk by us holding hands – a rich, unexplained moment that wouldn’t be out of place in one of Wood’s stories. The beach house perches on the steep block like a stage, “high on its poles, its murky olive weatherboards blurring into the surrounding bush and the pale sky”. The women enter one by one via an inclinator, a rusting platform that will later deliver the inevitable disruptors of the weekend in operatic style.

In July 2016, five officers were killed in Texas after an armed sniper opened fire in downtown Dallas during a demonstration against fatal police shootings. Four Dallas police officers and one transit officer were killed. The police killed the gunman, Micah Johnson, 25, with an explosive sent by a remote-controlled robot. Four members of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department were also shot, one of whom died from his injuries on Monday night, the police said on social media.

In the vein of her award-winning The Natural Way of Things, Wood continues to explore relationships between women in isolated groups, and more broadly, tensions between the individual and the collective. An example of the city and county investing in a NOAH opportunity to keep rent prices down is the Peppertree Apartments near Plaza Midwood. It’s the first time she has written in the first person since her first novel, Pieces of a Girl, was published in 1999. The story is set in the Monaro plain, where she and her four siblings were raised in Cooma, their father working for the Snowy Mountains Scheme, and her mum as an occasional florist. Wood is not religious, but religion was important to the family. There was Catholic schooling and church every weekend; her mother was a believer and her father had once spent a year with an order of Cistercian monks.

"I ask that all Charlotteans keep them, and the other injured officers, and their families in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time." In a shift from tradition, Prince William and Princess Kate released both Louis and Charlotte’s latest birthday photos on their actual birthdays. Until now, the couple almost always published celebratory portraits on the eve of their children’s birthdays, often taken by Kate, who is known for her photography hobby.

The Weekend is more Big Chill than Handmaid’s Tale, with a dash of Big Little Lies and an echo of Atwood’s The Robber Bride. Wood uses the classic theatrical set-up of a house party to concentrate tension in a tight space. The novel was both sharply contemporary and timeless in its portrayal of women under duress. Wood perfectly captured the zeitgeist, anticipating not only the TV adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, The Handmaid’s Tale, but the entire #MeToo movement. When the royal underwent abdominal surgery in January, she was diagnosed with cancer. Notably, Middleton was not behind the camera for the heavily-edited family photo released on Mother’s Day in March, but she did apologize via X for the Photoshop job.

The family has taken some time away from the spotlight as Kate undergoes “preventative chemotherapy” for an undisclosed type of cancer. On March 22, the Princess shared a video message in which she revealed she had been diagnosed following a planned abdominal surgery. Wood’s plot brings together three women, longtime friends in their 70s, for three days over Christmas at the beach house owned by a fourth woman who has died. They are there not to celebrate but to empty the house for sale.

The chapter’s president Rev. Cozy Bailey said at a press conference Monday morning outside of the Capitol that Youngkin was being served legal action that day. The pending legal back-and-forth stems from an initial August 2023 public records request to determine if the administration has been complying with state law regarding DEI work. On Thursday, Virginia’s Supreme Court ruled that he had been wrongfully denied his earned sentence credits. This story is part of ‘I Can’t Afford to Live Here,’ a collaborative reporting project focused on solutions to the affordable housing crisis in Charlotte. Housing officials hope to keep the cheaper prices at one Scaleybark apartment called Charlotte Woods. It was built in the 1970s and has 266 units of one- and two-bedroom apartments.
