Sinopsis

Basil King's "The High Heart" is a profound exploration of love, sacrifice, and the complexities of human relationships, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century societal norms. The narrative follows the intertwined lives of its characters, drawing readers into a nuanced exploration of their emotional landscapes. King's literary style is marked by rich descriptions and keen psychological insights, allowing for an intimate connection with the characters. The prose reflects the transitional period of the time, capturing the tension between traditional values and modern sensibilities, and thus situating the work within the broader context of early 1900s literature that grapples with the evolving definitions of morality and personal fulfillment. Basil King, a Canadian writer and social commentator, drew inspiration for this novel from his own experiences and observations of human nature. His background in law and his travels across North America and Europe enriched his understanding of diverse social settings, which he deftly incorporates into his narratives. King's literary career was also influenced by the period's philosophical inquiries about individuality and community, which resonate throughout "The High Heart." This pivotal work is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricacies of human connections and the societal pressures that shape them. King's ability to weave emotive narratives with philosophical depth invites readers to reflect on their own lives and relationships, making "The High Heart" not only a captivating story but also a thought-provoking examination of the human experience.

Damaris has heard the whispers that accuse Gavin Hamilton of his wife’s death and his young daughter’s crippling injury.

    In a scheme to pay for his endless wars and lavish court, Henry Tudor seizes England's rich monasteries and convents. Thousands of illuminated manuscripts are stolen and destroyed. 
    Squire Henry Truelove of Cornwall, hero of this novel, has simpler ambitions: to win the hand of his reluctant ladylove, Morwenna. But life takes a bad turn for the squire when his family's estate faces ruinous taxation. Truelove and his friends form a band of "holy pirates" to bring down the corrupt taxman, and to rescue the precious lost books. 
    This tale of tumultuous Tudor times will especially please readers who enjoy little known histories and interesting language. The narrative is often lighthearted, with amusing repartee. The mission of the Holy Pirates, though, is vital and dangerous — to save the precious books and their own skins.

    Eleonora of Somerset Hall: A Victorian Romance of Love, Betrayal, and Freedom 
    In Victorian England, Lady Eleonora Somerset is trapped in a gilded cage where her beauty is a commodity and her future a transaction. But beneath her exquisite gowns beats a heart yearning for a fierce, untamed freedom. A loveless marriage teaches her that to survive, she must take control. Her rebellion begins with a stolen, forbidden book, awakening a desire that will change everything.

    Perfect for fans of sweeping historical romances with strong female characters, complex moral dilemmas, and the intricate social worlds of Downton Abbey and Philippa Gregory. 
    Will Eleonora find redemption, or is her empire of ashes the last testament of a heart that learned too late?
