Sinossi

With Russian, English and Irish blood in her veins and described by her uncle Sir Terence O’Kerry, Head of the India Office, as ‘as mysterious as the Sphinx, but as lovely as Cleopatra must have been at that age’, it is no surprise that the beautiful young Quenella O’Kerry has suitors continually falling at her feet. The trouble is that among them is the lecherous Prince Ferdinand of Schertzenberg, who not only has pursued her relentlessly but has even attempted to force himself on her in her bedroom!It seems the only way for Quenella to escape the Prince’s clutches is a marriage of convenience and to leave England for some time.. And this is just what the dashing Major Rex Daviot requires if he is to accept the huge promotion offered to him by Queen Victoria to become the Lieutenant-Governor of India’s North-West Provinces, when India is under British rule.The prospect of a loveless marriage depresses Rex, who enjoys the attentions of many a Society beauty, but even as they journey to India, Quenella’s curiosity, intelligence and loveliness piques his interest. And very soon, despite himself, Rex finds that his marriage of convenience blossoms into something far, far deeper.

    The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

    After the death of her husband, Miriam retreats into the quiet rhythm of quiltmaking and life on the farm. Each stitch is a thread of memory, a safeguard against a world that has taken too much. Her days are measured in silence—safe, predictable, untouched by risk.
     
    Then Levi returns.
     
    Her late husband’s cousin, long absent from the community, arrives to help with the harvest. He brings quiet strength, gentle hands, and a past that lingers like unfinished seams. Miriam never asked for company, especially not from someone who once cared too much, too silently.
     
    Levi has carried his own burden of guilt for years. His feelings for Miriam were always hidden, always wrong. But now, as autumn settles in and hours are shared between fences, fields, and fading light, something stirs again—soft, tentative, undeniable.
     
    In a world stitched by grief and custom, can two hearts find the courage to create something new from the silence between stitches?
