  Before you can change the world, you must survive the drawing room. 
  In the quiet, gossiping lanes of 19th-century provincial England, nineteen-year-old Dorothea Brooke is a dangerous anomaly. She is beautiful, wealthy, and entirely consumed by a burning desire to live a life of grand, spiritual purpose. While her sister Celia navigates the sensible waters of ribbons, jewels, and aristocratic suitors, Dorothea yearns for intellectual martyrdom. 
  Enter the Reverend Edward Casaubon—a dry, middle-aged scholar compiling a labyrinthine history of the world. To the wealthy and practical society of Tipton Grange, he is a dried-up bookworm with one foot in the grave. But to Dorothea, he is a towering intellect, a modern Augustine, and a ticket out of the petty confines of her female existence. When she accepts his sudden proposal of marriage, she believes she is stepping into a world of profound illumination. 
  She is about to discover the suffocating weight of her own ideals. 
  In Middlemarch Book 1: Miss Brooke, George Eliot lays the brilliant, psychological foundation of one of the greatest novels in the English language. With biting wit, profound empathy, and razor-sharp social commentary, Eliot paints a portrait of a woman whose vast soul is utterly mismatched with her reality. 
  Immerse yourself in this stunning exploration of ambition, illusion, and the quiet tragedies of the human heart.

  The dark marsh stretches around Margery. She can hear the sound of her mother’s voice, crying. Or is it the wind…? Will she get out of here alive? 
  1665: When Margery arrives in Saltmarsh looking for her mother, she finds silence, secrets, and backs turned. 
  But she is not the only thing that has arrived. As the Plague falls on the village, leaving almost no man, woman or child alive, rumours circulate – about a demon dog, about lights floating above the waters, about voices in the dark… And about a girl, one who has brought a curse. 
  With Margery’s mother missing, it becomes clear that these remote, desolate marshes are about to become the most dangerous ground she’s ever stepped on… 
  Now: A beautiful young opera singer named Angel Bailey has arrived in Saltmarsh. She’s there to visit her adoptive brother, but she’s also running away.

  When Mercy Mulcahy was 40 years old, she was accused of killing her elderly and tyrannical father. Now, at the end of her life, she has written a book about what really happened on that fateful night of Christmas Eve, 1989. 
  The tragic and beautiful Mercy has devoted her life to protecting Star from her father, Star's grandfather. His behavior so blighted her own life – she never wanted it to touch her darling daughter. 
  Yet Star won't even read the manuscript. Star's contempt for Mercy is as painful as it is inexplicable. 
  Why? What has Mercy done? What is she hiding? Was her father's death, as many believe, an assisted suicide? 
  Or something even more sinister? 
  In this book, nothing is what it seems on the surface, and everywhere there are emotional twists and surprises. 
  Set in Ireland and California, Blue Mercy is a compelling novel, combing lyrical description with a page-turning style. It is an enthralling tale of love, loss, and the ever-present possibility of redemption.
