Summary

In "Late & Soon," E. M. Delafield deftly explores the intricate dynamics of human relationships and the passage of time through a narrative that blends introspection with engaging dialogue. The novel, written in a style marked by Delafield's characteristic wit and keen observation, reflects the societal mores of the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I England, it captures the delicate balance of hope and disillusionment as the characters navigate their personal quests for meaning amid the changing landscape of modern life. E. M. Delafield, renowned for her keen insight into the lives of women, draws upon her own experiences as a mother and a writer in this compelling work. Her background, enriched by her education and varied literary influences, informs her nuanced portrayal of character psychology and social commentary. Delafield's keen awareness of the shifting roles of women during her time serves as a lens through which she examines life's transitions and their implications for personal identity and societal expectations. "Late & Soon" is a remarkable literary achievement that resonates with readers seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities of life and love. Enter into Delafield's thoughtfully crafted world, where each character's journey invites reflection on the timeless themes of loss, ambition, and the enduring quest for connection.

    The M.A.G.A. Bibble is a satirical scripture chronicling the rise of political spectacle as sacred tradition. Written in the tone of ancient canon, it mirrors modern conviction with exaggerated reverence and razor-sharp wit. Equal parts parody and cultural artifact.

    This is a solo recording of the play, meaning that all parts including stage directions are performed by one person.  LibriVox has three excellent dramatic recordings with all the parts played by different people so if that is more to your taste, please listen to them.   Little needs to be said about the play itself, a sparkling example of Wilde's amazing ability to poke fun at almost everyone while making you laugh out loud at the witty sayings sprinkled throughout the acts.  As to the plot, if you don't know it already, let me just say that it involves two young English men who fall madly and instantly in love with two young English.women who of course love them back mainly because their name is Earnest.  Unfortunately, that is not their names and there are  many bumps and crashes on the road to the happy wedding bells.  I only hope I have done justice to this jewel of a play.   Please listen and enjoy !

    Get ready for more laughter and sparkling romance in this, the final instalment of the Shackleford Sisters… 
Anthony Shackleford had long been acquainted with the word duty. Indeed, since the moment he could walk, it had been drummed into him every Friday between the hours of two and four in the afternoon, accompanied by tea and apple cake. His mother had always been especially partial to apple cake. 
 
The essence of his obligation was this. The Duke of Blackmore could not be expected to keep his in-laws into their twilight years. Despite the fact that his sisters had all made extremely advantageous marriages, as the only son, it was his job to ensure his parents a comfortable dotage. So, for the most part, his duty had always appeared very simple. Marry an heiress, preferably with a title. But while Anthony was handsome enough to capture the eye of even the pickiest of debutantes, the fact that the Duke had seen fit to gift him with a manor house and twelve acres would certainly help in winning over any unduly ambitious mothers. 
 
Though grateful for his brother in law’s generosity, Anthony was nevertheless determined not to hang onto his benefactor’s coat tails and stubbornly declared he would undertake the repairs to Bovey Manor himself. Unfortunately, that meant he would have to temporarily set aside his duty since the renovations were likely to take some time… 
 
Georgiana didn’t know her last name. In fact it was only by accident that she discovered her first one. Raised in the slums of Exeter, she’d been George to everyone for as long as she could remember and no one but her foster family had any idea she was a girl. She knew nothing of where she came from, only that Henry and Martha Atkins were being paid to keep her alive. Indeed, she’d always been a pain in her foster father’s slovenly arse - until she began to blossom into womanhood. As he suddenly started looking for ways to be alone with her, Georgiana realised she had to escape. 
 
But Henry Atkins was not about to simply let her go. In truth, he dared not, since she was the key to plans years in the making… 
 
When Anthony crossed paths with a raggedy arsed lad named George, employing him out of pity to help with the renovations to Bovey Manor, he had no inkling that his life was about to change forever, and duty would be the very last thing on his mind… 
 
Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam...

    BREAKING UP USED TO BE SIMPLE. 
In 1996, you just asked for your CDs back. Now, in 2025, you're begging your ex to delete that picture of your b*tthole. Welcome to modern breakups—where the pain is digital, the receipts are forever, and your ex is still watching your Instagram stories. 
This book is for anyone who has ever: 
✔️ Sent a “just checking in” text at 2 AM and immediately regretted it. 
✔️ Seen their ex on a dating app three days after the breakup and momentarily blacked out. 
✔️ Considered a full-blown career change just to avoid running into them. 
✔️ Attempted to post a thirst trap but overthought the caption for five hours. 
Sorry, but getting dumped has never been more complicated. From the social media warfare to the existential dread of realizing your ex is suddenly hotter, Sorry About That is the hilariously vicious guide to surviving heartbreak in the digital age. 
Warning: This book will not help you grow. It will, however, make you feel slightly less pathetic while you stalk their LinkedIn page.
