This beguiling novel is a provocative romantic comedy centered on a young London calligrapher named Jasper, who is an engaging, intelligent serial seducer and a breaker of hearts. But when he meets Madeleine, a captivating but enigmatic woman who is his equal in every way, he falls helplessly in love. Vulnerable for the first time, he is headed for his comeuppance at last. Jasper is transcribing the Songs and Sonnets of that other great lover, John Donne, for a rich American client. As he works on them (revealing to us the fascinating art of the calligrapher), he discovers that these wise and beautiful love poems illuminate his own experiences -- of the difference between love and lust, of the play of truth and deceit between men and women, of the cost of constancy. As well as bringing modern London vividly to life, The Calligrapher is keenly observant of contemporary relationships and modern mores. Underlying its sparkling surface are Jasper's wry but heartfelt lamentations about the diminishment of our culture: the trivial masquerading as the consequential, the rising tide of ignorance, the triumph of the lowest common denominator. At once wickedly witty and deeply serious, sweet and cynical, romantic and reflective, this stylish, wonderfully entertaining novel is an accomplished and exciting literary debut.Binding Type: Paperback

Didn’t get a review on the garlic powder
Size: 1-Pack, Style: Zinnia Dahlia
The seeds were okay but the garlic powder that I ordered was smaller than usual is a case of bait and switch

My favorite flower to grow!
Size: 1-Pack, Style: Zinnia Dahlia
I love my zinnia flowers!!! I had nearly 100% of these seeds sprout right up!!! (I plant a lot of seeds, and that's not very common)! I can't wait for these beauties to grow, so far they're looking healthy

Liked so much, I bought TWICE!
Color: 23 - Ice Blue, Size: Twin
These sheets are such a great quality for the price. They feel soft and comfortable right out of the package and make the bed feel so much more cozy. I’ve washed them multiple times and they still feel great with no fading or pilling.
The fit is also excellent — the fitted sheet stays securely in place and doesn’t slide off the corners during the night. I was so happy with the comfort and overall quality that I ended up purchasing a second set. Definitely worth the money and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for comfortable, well-fitting sheets at a great price.
