Sinopse

In "Dodo Wonders," E. F. Benson crafts an exquisite tapestry of wit and social observation set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England. This novel follows the eccentric Dodo, a character who embodies both the absurdities and complexities of upper-middle-class life. With a narrative style that blends comedic prose and sharp commentary, Benson explores themes of identity, social hierarchy, and the trials of modernity. The rich dialogues and vivid characterizations provide a keen insight into the era's cultural mores, making it an inventive reflection of the Edwardian society. E. F. Benson was not only an accomplished author but also a member of a prominent literary family and a notable social commentator of his time. His experiences, including his education at Cambridge and his observations of the British social stratum, deeply influenced his writing. The creation of Dodo—a character that straddles the line between charm and unconventionality—can be seen as Benson's critique of societal norms, distilled through an artful lens of humor and empathy. "Dodo Wonders" is highly recommended for readers seeking a fascinating exploration of character and society, woven into a narrative that balances humor with poignant reflection. Benson's deft storytelling and insightful observations offer a delightful experience for anyone interested in early 20th-century literature and the intricacies of human relationships.

    Joel Foster is a hapless twenty-something. His girlfriend, Beth Lewis, would likely have been a hapless twenty-something, too, had she not been obliterated by a very large cement truck. Some time after Beth's tragic death, Joel is still trying to juggle grief with the world of modern dating. And while he still feels like a widower, he has to find a new love before three years is up.
    The catch? Just as Joel thinks he's finally falling for someone, he starts getting haunted by Beth.
    It's not a ghost story, it's a love story. With ghosts.

    Harry Bannerman drinks his nightly bourbon on the train from New York City to Putnam's Landing, Connecticut. A typical commuter, he has a bald spot, a house, two mortgages, three children, and a wife who is a committed soccer mom and pillar of the community. 
     
     
      
    Second Lt. Guido di Maggio loves baseball less than his last name implies and his fiancée, Maggie Larkin, more than the army allows. College sweethearts, the couple has their future all mapped out: Guido will complete his military service in Maryland while Maggie starts her teaching career in Putnam's Landing. But when Guido is reassigned to Alaska and Maggie loses her job for giving a sex talk to second graders, their plans go up in smoke. 
     
     
      
    To avoid Alaska and save his relationship with Maggie, Guido takes the thankless job directing public relations at a new anti-aircraft base in Putnam's Landing. What happens next in this national bestseller is a dark and funny story of the disaffected and disconnected in Cold War suburbia as tensions mount between the "invading" army and a bevy of local teenagers; between frustrated commuters and their frustrated wives; between social do-gooders and Yankee conservatives; and between romantic dreams of the artist's life in New York and the pedestrian reality of having to earn a living to house and feed a growing family.
