Sinossi

The best of times and the worst of tidings: it’s Hallowe’en at the House of Werth…
 
Augusta Honoria Werth. Deceased October 31st, 1821. 
 
What passes for family peace is shattered (yet again) with the arrival of Nell, and the Book of Spectres. There, written in good black ink, is the date of Gussie’s death: three days from now, on Hallowtide itself.
 
Not just Gussie, but all the Werths are slated, somehow, to die. With a maleficent Book as the bearer of bad news, the recalcitrant tomes must be involved; but who’s behind the boisterous books, and why have they got it in for Gussie?
 
With no time at all to stave off disaster, and more than the family honour on the line, the Werths must pull together in the face of their greatest crisis yet. Not such a tall order, surely?
 
Rejoin the worst and Wyrdest of families at the spookiest time of the year! The Werths versus inevitable doom: what could possibly go wrong? WARNING, this tale will expose you to: rambunctious revenants, garrulous ghouls, and tumultuous (and terrifying) tomes, handle with care.
Disponibile da: 23/09/2025.
Lunghezza di stampa: 283 pagine.

    How does one atone for the sins of the past? 
    In Resurrection, Leo Tolstoy presents a harrowing yet deeply moving tale of moral reckoning and spiritual awakening. Prince Dmitri Ivanovich, a wealthy aristocrat, is confronted with the consequences of his youthful indiscretions when he discovers that Katerina Maslova—a woman he once seduced and abandoned—has been unjustly sentenced to Siberian exile. Driven by guilt and a newfound sense of justice, he dedicates himself to her cause, only to find himself entangled in a corrupt legal system and an indifferent society. 
    As Dmitri struggles to right his wrongs, his journey exposes the hypocrisy of the elite, the cruelty of the prison system, and the immense power of personal transformation. Tolstoy masterfully weaves a narrative that is both a compelling human drama and a fierce indictment of social inequality.

    "When you are a kid and you think about what your life is going to be, when you imagine what you'll become and the person you are going to marry, you don't wish for just good, no, you wish for more. And, sure, you don't always get that, after all, you grow up and find out that nothing, not even 'just good' comes as easily as you have expected it to, but still, that one person, that 'the one' should make you feel extraordinary, even if your life is anything but." 
    Summary: 
    When love shatters, what remains? 
    George’s world crumbles the day his husband walks away, leaving him with a broken heart and a son to raise. He pours himself into his art, convinced that love is nothing more than a beautiful illusion—one he will never fall for again. 
    But fate has other plans. 
    When a man from his past unexpectedly reappears, old memories and unresolved emotions resurface, challenging the walls George has built around his heart. 
    Told through two intertwining timelines, past and present, 'George' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the question that lingers: Can we ever truly begin again?
