Excerpt from The Heavenly TwinsFrom the high Cathedral tower the solemn assurance floated forth to be a warning, or a promise, according to the mental state of those whose ears it filled; and the mind, familiar with the phrase, continued it involuntarily, carrying the running accompaniment, as well as the words and the melody, on to the end. After the last reverberation of the last stroke of every hour had died away, and just when expectation had been succeeded by the sense of silence, they rang it out by day and night - the bells - and the four winds of heaven by day and night spread it abroad over the great wicked city, and over the fair flat country, by many a tiny township and peaceful farmstead and scattered hamlet, on, on, it was said, to the sea - to the sea, which was twenty miles away!But there were many who doubted this; though good men and true, who knew the music well, declared they had heard it, every note distinct, on summer evenings when they sat alone on the beach and the waves were still; and it sounded then, they said, like the voice of a tenor who sings to himself softly in murmurous monotones.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

What is Arcadium? Florence knows but she’s not telling anyone, and it could just be the key to the survival of the human race. Sixteen-year-old Florence West must journey across a disease ravaged Melbourne with her nine-year-old sister, Liss, and she’ll do anything to survive. Mostly that means staying clear of all people, the healthy ones on the run and the infected ones hungry for human flesh. But when she meets a man that speaks no English and a defiant set of brothers, Florence will be forced to question her ways. Because there’s only so far you can go alone, right? Arcadium is a heart-stopping journey of hope across a ravaged urban land where survival always comes at a heavy price.
