One theme in this novel is about human trafficking. While the story is fiction, it reflects what is happening in reality.
Another UN study says that the number of people be One theme in this novel is about human trafficking. Another UN study says that the number of people being trafficked into Europe is on the rise, yet the number of arrests is on the decline. While the UN, the European Union, and the United States Government are calling for tighter controls on this practice, sometimes it feels like empty words, and their failure to do something makes it seem they are indirectly culpable. In fact, there have been a number of cases where UN workers at refugee camps have traded food for sex, exploiting under-aged girls.
There are few penalties being charged and the UN investigations into these cases seem to be lost in a bureaucratic sea of oblivion. The world must be made aware of the immeasurable human suffering caused by this, and something must be done about it. Another underlying theme in this book has to do with social conventions.
In Pursuit we find two women who both love the same man. In fact, they find themselves in a bizarre situation that is not of their own choosing. Within their world-view is a belief system of marriage relationships as being between one man and one woman.
So, how can they find reconciliation? If anything, the two woman are not relativists who believe that anything goes, where you just make up your own rules as you go along. If they go against social standards, upon what presuppositions should this be based? In the end, they need to ground their decisions on something concrete. It looks like Chantal has indeed made the decision for them as she heads back to Paris to find a new life and join up with her sister who has problems of her own. That leads us to Blue Fate 6 , which I expect will be the concluding novel in this series.

They have not, and rather than getting a pleasant surprise or two from the minor-leagues, only Teoscar Hernandez has come up and provided impact.
Asked Tuesday night if facing the Yankees was like going to a gunfight with a knife, Gibbons replied: CC Sabathia has always been tough on us, he was again. It got away from us, no doubt about that.
We still like our team. True to himself, Gibbons stuck up for his players the way he always has, believing the best way to manage is to essentially have two rules: That goes a long way in a big-league clubhouse and what the Blue Jays have had since the season has been an ideal players search for.
But the cruel realities and established conventions of the business are closing in on the Blue Jays right now, and if he ends up paying the price for this season off the rails that no manager could have avoided, his firing will mark the beginning of the changes, not the end.
