Two Turtle Doves
At $24,263.18, The Cost Of Christmas Is Up 3.5 Percent This Year (fastcompany)
The annual PNC Christmas Price Index is a giant, interactive infographic on
the price tag for The 12 Days of Christmas.
The 12 Days of Christmas is the granddaddy of holiday memes. For centuries,
the seasonally inclined have sung of that elaborate parade of presents that
includes various fowl, prancing performers and, of course, five golden rings.
But in these budget-minded times, is it realistic to shell out for any of
these gifts? What does a French hen go for these days?
For 28 years, U.S. financial institution PNC has made a tradition of
calculating the cost of Christmas based on the items included in the classic
carol. Borrowing the market basket principles of the commodity price index,
the Christmas Price Index is a tongue-in-cheek economic indicator that
provides insight into how the price of goods increases or decreases year over
year. Economists, presumably, appreciate the whimsy of it and PNC enjoys a PR
high when the results are released.
Still, no matter how festive the source material, data in itself isn’t exactly
cheerful, which is why for the past three years, PNC has tapped the Deutsch
agency to bring the index to life. Following a …

Harmless as Doves $19.19 As he goes about his milking chores on a cold October morning, Bishop Leon Shetler daydreams of escaping the Ohio winter and taking a bus to the Pinecraft Amish community in Florida for a vacation. His reverie is suddenly interrupted when young Crist Burkholder enters the barn, head down, hat in hand, to make a confession. "I just killed Glenn Spiegle." "An Amish murderer?" Sheriff Robertson asks when he arrives on the scene. "Who will believe that?" But Burkholder is adamant about his guilt, fueled by the passion of his love for Vesta Miller, the young woman both he and Spiegle so desperately wanted to marry. No sooner does the sheriff start his investigation than he learns of two more murders in the Pinecraft community, and a startling connection is made. There’s no way around it–Professor Mike Branden will have to put his research trip on hold and, along with detective Ricky Niell, travel south to investigate. There they discover the disturbing truth about Spiegle’s conversion to the Amish faith and the reason for the long-smoldering hatred that has reached into the secluded pastoral valleys of Holmes County. In "Harmless as Doves, "P. L. Gaus takes the action to Florida in one of the most exciting mysteries in the series. This is Gaus at his best. |

The Plague of Doves $9.99 Louise Erdrich's mesmerizing new novel, her first in almost three years, centers on a compelling mystery. The unsolved murder of a farm family haunts the small, white, off-reservation town of Pluto, North Dakota. The vengeance exacted for this crime and the subsequent distortions of truth transform the lives of Ojibwe living on the nearby reservation and shape the passions of both communities for the next generation. The descendants of Ojibwe and white intermarry, their lives intertwine; only the youngest generation, of mixed blood, remains unaware of the role the past continues to play in their lives. Evelina Harp is a witty, ambitious young girl, part Ojibwe, part white, who is prone to falling hopelessly in love. Mooshum, Evelina's grandfather, is a seductive storyteller, a repository of family and tribal history with an all-too-intimate knowledge of the violent past. Nobody understands the weight of historical injustice better than Judge Antone Bazil Coutts, a thoughtful mixed blood who witnesses the lives of those who appear before him, and whose own love life reflects the entire history of the territory. In distinct and winning voices, Erdrich's narrators unravel the stories of different generations and families in this corner of North Dakota. Bound by love, torn by history, the two communities' collective stories finally come together in a wrenching truth revealed in the novel's final pages. The Plague of Doves is one of the major achievements of Louise Erdrich's considerable oeuvre, a quintessentially American story and the most complex and original of her books. |
