The narrative unfolds through the reflections of its protagonist, who grapples with her relationships, particularly with her enigmatic aunt, intertwining themes of feminist consciousness with early 20th-century societal mores. Sedgwick's lyrical prose, coupled with her incisive dialogue, presents a vivid tableau that invites readers to contemplate the subtleties of interpersonal dynamics against a backdrop of emerging modernity. Sedgwick, an influential figure in early 20th-century literature, drew upon her own experiences as an expatriate American in Europe to inform her storytelling.

This compelling novel is a must-read for those interested in feminist literature, narrative complexity, and the exploration of personal identity. Sedgwick's captivating storytelling and character development will engage readers who appreciate historical contexts while reflecting on timeless themes of love, loss, and the search for belonging.

With a career-ending injury, Olympic kickboxer Sheila Stone is forced back to her small hometown, where her older sister, the local sheriff, offers her a spot on the local police force.

The Ground
by Siné Kang
"To read is to perform. I have many names, however, that cannot be true. The title of this text has been changed many times, and these are the names I can still recall: 'Drinking milk', 'Look!', 'The Breath', and 'Sin'. I am afraid of making mistakes. It seems mistakes are omnipresent, and the phobia about making a mistake is never discontinued. I am afraid I am alone."
So starts Sine Kang's existential tale of a mother and son. Sine's work delves into the ideas of hatred, knowledge, the world, perfection, and the concept of words themselves.
With confidence in the written word, Sine's masterful work rouses the readers mind in concepts and thoughts that will preoccupy a mind long after the work has been completed. Through witnessing the discussion between a mother and son, a son's whose voice is ignored, and a mother whose ignorance is forced, we come to understand that the long discussions of Mother and Son on the page is merely an example of the discussions we wish to have with our friends, our loved ones, and ourselves.

On a peaceful Sunday afternoon, Arthur Rowe comes upon a charity fete in the gardens of a Cambridgeshire vicarage where he wins a game of chance. If only this were an ordinary day. Britain is under threat by Germany, and the air raid sirens that bring the bazaar to a halt expose Rowe as no ordinary man. Recently released from a psychiatric prison for the mercy killing of his wife, he is burdened by guilt, and now, in possession of a seemingly innocuous prize, on the run from a nest of Nazi spies who want him dead. 
 
 
 
Pursued on a dark odyssey through the bombed-out streets of London, he becomes enmeshed in a tangle of secrets that reach into the dark recesses of his own forgotten past. And there isn't a soul he can trust, not even himself. Because Arthur Rowe doesn't even know who he really is.
