Sinossi

In 'Tante,' Anne Douglas Sedgwick masterfully blends elements of fiction and autobiography, encapsulating the complexities of familial bonds and the mirroring of personal and social identities. 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. Her dual heritage, coupled with her exposure to various literary movements, endowed her work with a nuanced understanding of identity crises that resonated during her time. 'Tante' emerges as a reflection of her beliefs about women's roles, both within the domestic sphere and society at large, shedding light on the struggles for autonomy and self-definition that characterized the era. 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. 'Tante' stands as a testament to Sedgwick's literary prowess, making it a worthy addition to any scholarly collection.

    WELCOME TO THE WEDPOCALYPSE 
    His name is Pestilence. 
    At least, that’s what they called him in college after an outbreak of a certain, ahem, intimately transmitted infection on campus. 
    Now in his thirties, Leo St. James is fully reformed from his playboy past. He has a fiancée and everything. 
    Oh, no, wait. He lied about that. 
    His fiancée doesn’t exist. 
    But when Leo’s boss sees him with his hand cupped around Amelia Darcy’s face, Leo has no choice but to call her his bride-to-be and promise to bring her to his company retreat. 
    Amelia isn’t amused, but she does see an opportunity. The data analyst in her recognizes the chance to gather some much needed information from a reputable source. 
    Because what does a shameless libertine know better than anyone else? 
    Only one thing: seduction. 
    Now that Amelia’s hit her professional goals, she’s ready to attack the personal. She’s going to get a boyfriend of her own, and Leo St. James is going to teach her how. Step by sizzling step. 
    All Amelia has to do in exchange is pretend to be Leo’s fiancée for four measly days at his company retreat. Nothing could be easier…as long as she doesn’t fall for the player, and realize her feelings weren’t all that fake after all…

    Let bestselling author T.A. Williams whisk you away to gorgeous Tuscany in this cozy murder mystery featuring a retired DCI and his loyal companion, Oscar. 🐶 It really is murder in paradise! 
    An iconic bridge... 🌉 
    Private investigator, Dan Armstrong, lives and works in Florence and knows the world famous Ponte Vecchio well. Usually a magnet for tourists, on this occasion it is the scene of an unexplained death, and Dan finds himself involved in the intriguing case. 
    An uncompromising man... 😠 
    Dan quickly discovers that the victim, an elderly jeweller, was every bit as hard as the diamonds he sold in his shop on the bridge. Few people liked him, not even his adult children, and his business dealings look murkier than the waters of the River Arno. Dan suspects more secrets lie hidden…perhaps inside the massive safe in the old man's luxury villa… 
    A complex case. 💎🔍 
    As the evidence begins to mount up, so too do the suspects with their different motives. With a fortune in gold bullion and precious stones involved, Dan thinks the only way to catch the killer is to lay a trap, but might he be caught in the killer’s sights? Fortunately, he has Oscar, his canine wingman at his side, always eager to prove that he's as good as gold. 🐶
