Synopsis

E. M. Delafield's "Premium Collection: 6 Novels in One Volume" gathers a remarkable array of her literary works that delve into the intricacies of British society during the early 20th century. Delafield's writing is characterized by its keen observations, wit, and a subtle irony that brings to life the follies and virtues of her characters. This collection showcases her diverse narrative styles, from the epistolary form to vivid character-driven tales, which explore themes of social norms, the role of women, and the confines of class within the backdrop of an evolving England. As a prolific author and a keen observer of her times, E. M. Delafield (1890-1943) often drew inspiration from her own experiences and the lives of those around her. Her background, which included her studies in languages and her involvement in various social circles, has infused her narratives with authenticity and depth. Delafield's unique perspective on the societal constraints of her era led her to depict the everyday struggles and triumphs of women, making her works resonate with contemporary readers. This Premium Collection is highly recommended for readers interested in early 20th-century literature, particularly those who appreciate insight into the social fabric of post-Victorian society. Delafield's blend of humor and poignant social commentary makes this volume not only a delightful read but also a valuable addition to the canon of feminist literature, enticing both new and seasoned readers to explore her timeless narratives.

    The end of the world has begun.  
    If I were you, I’d take my valuable time and attention elsewhere. 
    As you well know, Earth is running low on kindness and shame and air. Why put yourself in the shoes of others when, surely, you recognize everything revolves around you and you alone? Besides, the people populating this essentially meaningless plot are frivolous ants simply not worth their weight in words.  
    Believe me, I should know.  
    Certainly not the twins at the heart of the matter of all things Apocalypse, Calvin and Trent, who soon must decide what—or rather whom—they’re willing to sacrifice in order to delay your world’s dying gasps. Definitely not the high school principal, Gary Mustafa, whose hyperfixation on balloons will leave your mind only loosely tethered to your head. Then there’s Love and Yew, the former a government hacker and ex-reality TV star, the latter a psychedelic therapist who thinks she’s better than you. The less said about these two women, the better.  
    And don’t even get me started on the writer. 
    So go on—get away from here. Let these silly ants fizzle under the magnifying glass of the Apocalypse they summoned. You’ll find no world-ending bangs here, but I bet you can already hear them whimpering. 
    Let them.

    Holland My Heart - A slow-burn...

    You know those stress inventories where you check off life's biggest disasters? Yeah, I've lost count. 
    In just one year, I lost my husband (and his brother), sold our home, moved across the country, quit my job, and watched my sister-in-law, who also happens to be my best friend, move away. So, here I am—twenty-seven, an MBA with no job, and a heart held together by sheer willpower. 
    And that's when Naomi, my mother-in-law, who also happens to be my best friend, introduces me to Kai Ipu. He's her oldest and dearest friend, a ridiculously successful, devastatingly handsome Black-Samoan CEO who built a corporate consulting firm from the ground up. He's older, brilliant, and way out of my league. So, obviously, I don't have to worry about falling for him, right? 
    Then he offers me a job. And I never back down from a challenge. 
    Loosely inspired by the Book of Ruth, Holland, My Heart is a full-length (7 hours, 46 minutes) contemporary romance about love after loss, second chances, and figuring out what comes next when your whole life falls apart. With sharp banter, f-bombs from Kai, a drunken confession of adoration, and just the right amount of spice, this slow-burn, witty standalone romance is perfect for fans of heartfelt, character-driven love stories.

    A bestselling author helps readers find radical joy in a world full of constant comparison by accepting that life is a wild ride and happiness fluctuates with our circumstances. Happiness is considered a destination, but the finish line is constantly moving—when we get married, find that dream job, move away from home, have a baby, build a dream house, etc. We are promised that a happy life is tied to these milestones.  But what if society has it wrong? What if happiness isn't the goal at all?  With her trademark candor and hilarious storytelling, MK paints a picture of a different life—one bursting with a force that is far more sustainable and vibrant: joy. Crazy Joy will help readers:  1.    Identify and reject ridiculous expectations that society has placed on their lives.  2.    Liberate their hearts from the comparison prison and feel content in their current circumstances.  3.    View themselves, inside and out, as the masterpiece creations they are.  4.    Find joy (and dare we say, laughter!) in the middle of life's biggest messes.  Witty and refreshingly honest, MK invites her readers to embark on a counter-cultural journey toward a life filled to the brim with contentment, humor, and most importantly, Crazy Joy.
