Sinossi

In "A Wreath of Indian Stories," A. L. O. E. masterfully weaves a tapestry of narratives that explore the rich cultural heritage of India. This collection showcases her unique literary style, characterized by vivid imagery, poetic prose, and a deep understanding of indigenous folklore. Set amidst the backdrop of British colonialism, these tales not only enchant readers through their enchanting plots but also serve as a reflection on the complexities of cultural identity and the impact of imperial narratives on traditional stories. A. L. O. E., a pseudonym for Charlotte Maria Tucker, was a prolific author and a keen observer of the social and political landscape of her time. Her extensive travels and interactions with diverse cultures inspired her to create works that blended adventure with moral instruction. Tucker's commitment to advocating for women's education and her engagement with various philanthropic endeavors also influenced her storytelling, allowing her to address themes of social change and the empowerment of marginalized voices within her narratives. This book is a must-read for those interested in the intersection of literature, culture, and history. "A Wreath of Indian Stories" invites readers into a world where imagination and reality collide, offering profound insights into the human experience. Both enlightening and enjoyable, this collection is an essential addition to the library of anyone intrigued by cross-cultural narratives and the art of storytelling.

    Author Edith Wharton is best known for her books set amongst the upper-echelon of New York society, including "The House of Mirth" and "The Age of Innocence," (the latter of which won her the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction).   
    But Wharton also wrote two American classics that take place in rural settings: the then-scandalous tale of youthful rebellion,"Summer" and her haunting novel of love and regret, "Ethan Frome." Both have gone on to be considered among the finest novels of the early 20th century.   
    We are proud to present both of these books in one volume, each in their original and unabridged format.

    There is nothing ordinary about the journey we take in life, or the people in it. A tale of starting over, and an unforgettable odyssey of healing. 
    How We Healed  opens in September 1957, in the segregated Southern U.S. We witness the gripping tale of Drunetta Brown, a woman determined to break free from a life filled with struggles and heartbreak. Drunetta, a middle-aged black woman, burdened by shattered dreams and an alcoholic husband, decides to flee and leave it all behind for a fresh start in New York City with her children. There, she finds unexpected support from two women: Raycie, a talented bar singer, and Rose, a devoted church secretary. As Drunetta navigates the challenges of her new life, her friendships with Raycie and Rose provide the strength she needs to carve out her own path in a changing world. Fans of "The Color Purple" will find themselves drawn to this raw and emotional tale.
