Sinossi

"Nanny Merry. or, What Made the Difference?" is a compelling narrative that delves into the transformative power of love and family dynamics. Through its poignant storytelling and rich character development, the book explores the nuances of childhood experiences in the Victorian era, addressing themes of social class, identity, and moral rectitude. The anonymous author employs a conversational style that invites empathy, reflecting the didactic literary tendencies of the time while crafting a narrative that remains accessible to contemporary readers. The work not only holds a mirror to the societal norms of its era but also sparks critical reflection on the nature of relationships across generations. The choice of anonymity may reflect the author's desire to prioritize the universal themes in the story over personal recognition, possibly suggesting a background in social work or education that informs the nuanced portrayal of childhood innocence and resilience. The text is likely influenced by the prevailing social reform movements of the 19th century, which sought to illuminate the challenges faced by the less fortunate in society and advocate for change. I highly recommend "Nanny Merry" for readers interested in historical literature that examines the complexities of familial bonds and social commentary. Its insightful exploration of the human condition and its ethical undertones make it a significant contribution to the discourse on Victorian literature, sure to resonate with those who appreciate narratives rich in both heart and moral inquiry.

    Based on the true story of Norwegian maid turned Midwestern farmwife Belle Gunness, the first female serial killer in American history. My Men is a fictional account of one broken woman’s descent into inescapable madness. 
     
    Among thousands of other Norwegian immigrants seeking freedom, Brynhild Størset emigrated to the American Upper Midwest in the late nineteenth century, changing her name and her life. As Bella, later Belle Gunness, she came in search of not only fortune and true faith but, most of all, love. 
     
    From Victoria Kielland, a rising star of Norwegian literature, comes My Men, a literary reimagining of the harrowing true story of Belle Gunness, who slowly but irreversibly turned to senseless murder for release from her pain, becoming America’s first known female serial killer. In pursuit of her American  
    dream, Kielland’s Belle grows increasingly alienated, ruthless, and perversely compelling.Raw, visceral, and altogether hypnotic, My Men is a brutal yet radically empathetic glimpse into the world of a woman consumed by desire.

    Fifteen-year-old Mattie Lee Watson dreams of men, not boys. So when James T. Cullowee, the Kudzu King, arrives in Cooper County, North Carolina, in 1941 to spread the gospel of kudzu—claiming that it will improve the soil, feed cattle at almost no cost, even cure headaches—Mattie is ready. Mr. Cullowee is determined to sell the entire county on the future of kudzu, and organizes a kudzu festival, complete with a beauty pageant. Mattie is determined to be crowned Kudzu Queen and capture the attentions of the Kudzu King. As she learns more about Cullowee, however, she discovers that he, like the kudzu he promotes, has a dark and predatory side. When she finds she is not the only one threatened, she devises a plan to bring him down. Based on historical facts, The Kudzu Queen unravels a tangle of sexuality, power, race, and kudzu through the voice of an irresistibly delightful (and mostly honest) narrator.

    Preorder the next instalment in the emotional Wartime Hotel series from Maisie Thomas 
    'A wonderful and uplifting tale of female friendship' Eva Glyn, author of The Dubrovnik Book Club 
    Manchester, 1942. 
    When Kitty Dunbar was forced to confront her husband’s debts and close the family hotel, she transformed Dunbar’s into a storage business for bombed-out families. But with her daughter to support, and relishing her new independence, Kitty is keen to come up with more ways to use the once prestigious hotel. 
    Sharing her home are former chambermaid Lily, and kind-hearted welfare worker Beatrice, both haunted by past loss. Together, the three women create a new kind of family in the heart of the Manchester Blitz: one built on respect and resilience. When Kitty suggests hosting wedding receptions in the old dining room, her friends are happy and willing to lend a hand – and help to serve ‘Dunbar’s Wartime Wedding Punch’! 
    But when Lily meets a handsome doctor, and Beatrice comes face to face with an old flame, will hearts finally be mended, or broken once more? 
    While war rages around them, can these three women find the courage to keep fighting for their dreams?
