Sinopsis

In "The Eustace Diamonds," Anthony Trollope crafts a masterful narrative interweaving themes of wealth, morality, and the complexities of Victorian society. The novel, part of Trollope's celebrated Palliser series, centers on the fortunes of the beautiful and enigmatic Lizzie Eustace, whose possession of a valuable set of diamonds ignites a tumultuous exploration of class and gender dynamics. Trollope's astute social commentary is delivered through his characteristic wit and a keen awareness of the era's societal norms, inviting the reader to engage deeply with questions of honesty, love, and ambition amid a backdrop of legal intrigue and personal betrayal. Anthony Trollope, an astute observer of his times, drew upon his experiences as a postal clerk and a novelist to illuminate the intricacies of human relationships. His ability to depict the nuances of Victorian life stemmed from a profound understanding of both the upper echelons of society and the moral predicaments faced by its members. Trollope's personal views on gender and wealth are woven intricately into Lizzie's character, illustrating his intention to reflect the conflicts and aspirations of women during this transformative period. Readers seeking a richly textured narrative that probes the intersection of personal desires and societal expectations will find "The Eustace Diamonds" a compelling read. Trollope's unparalleled storytelling and intricate character development not only entertains but also provokes thoughtful reflection on ethical dilemmas, making this novel a vital addition to any literary collection.

    One chaotic hip-hop dancer with no direction in life. One outrageously handsome scientist who is determined to go back to the Antarctic. Over a shared interest in beekeeping, things start to heat up. But can the path to true love ever flow as smoothly as honey? 
     
    Sunny Moritz needs a change. She’s thirty-three, single, weary of?tedious romances with the wrong kind of men?and, according to her disappointed parents, drifting about like a tumbleweed. Her former high school crush, orthopaedic surgeon Adam Harrison,?might be meeting all her physical demands (and requiring a subtotal of zero emotional headspace), but what about the rest of her life?  
     
    When Sunny decides to start beekeeping, the man with the information she needs is an?odd, enigmatic and indecently sexy Antarctic scientist. Surely, though, she's way?too pragmatic to be affected by his magnetism …  
     
    But as her hunger for meaning starts to bloom, Sunny begins to think that maybe it’s not too late to reconnect with her parents, maybe it’s time to start dancing again and maybe even?she?could have a lasting relationship.  
     
    Dancing with Bees ?is easy to read, but hard to put down. In the tradition of Emily Henry and Marian Keyes, this delightful novel bubbles with charm, warmth and humour, but also speaks of the important things in life – like love. 
     
    ‘A laugh-out-loud funny debut that’s both sexy and heartfelt. A real winner!’ MAYA LINNELL

    How do you continue on with life while grieving something you were never prepared for? 
    One moment, Leslie Harter-Berg had it pretty darn good, and the next, she was a thirty-year-old widow and single mom to two rowdy boys under the age of three. Thrust into the arms of grief, her new life consisted of strange tasks, like notifying AT&T that her husband no longer needed unlimited data and deciding what to do with his grown-man Lego collection while she also planned a memorial and parented solo. 
    This is Leslie Harter-Berg's story, but it could be anyone's. Anyone who has lost a spouse or experienced another kind of grief--when life doesn't go as planned, but it keeps right on truckin' without waiting for you to catch your breath. 
    But Leslie's learned a thing or two since her husband's sudden death in 2019. Throughout her poignant and funny attempts to "do grief right," she came to accept that no one was grading her on her grief and that surviving is often a lot more profound and beautiful than thriving. 
    In this poignant, humorous, slightly irreverent yet totally relatable memoir-meets-grief-guide, Leslie will help you:Let go of the need to find a silver lining or a greater purpose in your griefValidate the odd, mundane, and very real things that happen after the death of a loved one or another traumatic life eventRedefine the stages of grief--and do the best living you can musterEmbrace the beautiful tension of conflicting emotions as you accept a life you never expected to liveKnow that life can still be amazing as you move forward and find hope again 
      
    You can be simultaneously splitting your gut laughing while carrying a constant ache of sadness in that very same gut. You can look forward to a future with someone while also resenting that a future has stopped being with another. And you can move through life after loss by relinquishing the need to "be so strong" and allowing yourself to fall apart--so you can find that God is right there, grieving alongside you.
