Sinossi

In "The War-Workers & Consequences," E. M. Delafield delves into the multifaceted experiences of women during World War I, showcasing their resilience and adaptability in an era defined by turmoil. Through a blend of poignant narrative and sharp social commentary, Delafield employs a keenly observant literary style that juxtaposes the domestic sphere against the backdrop of war. Her exploration of gender roles and societal expectations highlights the transformative impact of conflict on the female experience, while rich characterizations and vivid settings anchor the reader in a turbulent historical context. E. M. Delafield, known for her keen insights into women's lives, drew on her own experiences as a nurse during the war and her broader experiences in a rapidly changing society to craft this compelling narrative. Her background as a novelist and a social commentator informed her nuanced portrayals of characters who grapple with love, duty, and survival amidst the challenges of wartime, revealing her commitment to highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of women. This essential read not only enlightens readers about the historical significance of women's roles in wartime but also invites reflection on current social transformations. Delafield's adept storytelling and empathetic character portrayals resonate powerfully, making "The War-Workers & Consequences" a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of war, gender, and society.

    A delightfully subversive essay collection from Laci Mosley, host of the award-winning “Scam Goddess” podcast, about the frauds, cons, and schemes that make up our world—and how the scammer mindset has affected her own upbringing, career, friendships, love life, and more. ​ From an early age, comedian and actress Laci Mosley knew her path would be riddled with scams, cons, robberies, and frauds. Little ones. Ones that didn’t hurt people or get her in trouble. But ones that would get her where she needed to be. “You see,” she writes, “everyone’s a scammer and everything’s a scam. Some people are better at it than others, but we all do it. The system wasn’t built for people like me. Scamming saved me and has taught me how to navigate a messy and unfair world while looking out for myself, too.” In Scam Goddess, Laci recounts how her scammer instincts have guided her throughout her life—from a religious childhood in rural Texas, to a stint as a city bartender at what might have been a drug front, to swindling her way past the gatekeepers of Hollywood—recounting the greatest true-crime scam stories that inspired her along the way. Whether it’s by the beauty industry, capitalism, or the people we date, we’re all getting scammed. In this book, Laci identifies the secrets to flipping the script and coming out ahead.

    Book 3: Lovely Lethal GardensRiches to rags. … Chaos calms. … Crime quiets. … But does it really?After getting involved in two murder cases in the short time she’s lived in picturesque Kelowna, divorcee and gardener Doreen Montgomery has developed a reputation almost as notorious as her Nan’s. The only way to stop people from speculating, is to live a life of unrelieved boredom until the media and the neighbors forget about her. And Doreen aims to do just that with a tour of Kelowna’s famed Carnation Gardens. Plants, more plants, and nothing whatsoever that anyone could object to.But when she sees a fight between a beautiful young woman and her boyfriend, she can’t help but be concerned. Concerned enough that she follows the couple out of the parking lot and through town. And when gunshots interrupt the placid afternoon, it’s too late to worry about how her nemesis, Corporal Mack Moreau, will feel about her getting involved in yet another of his cases.With bodies turning up in the carnations, and a connection to a cold case of a missing child from long ago, Doreen has her hands full, not least with trying to keep her involvement in the investigations a secret from her Nan, Mack Moreau, and especially the media. But someone’s keeping up with Doreen’s doings… and that someone can’t afford for her to find the answers to the questions she’s asking.

    For lovers of Catherine Newman, Lorrie Moore, and Ottessa Moshfegh comes a debut collection of 14 insightful, witty, and often laugh-out-loud stories. 
    My Mother’s Boyfriends is populated by angels, earthquakes, sibling complexity, love affairs gone bad, and children left to figure it out on their own. Woven throughout is an abiding sympathy for the mess-ups, bad choices, and missteps humans make despite their best intentions. 
    “Witty and utterly enchanting.” —Vendela Vida, author of We Run the Tides 
    "In My Mother's Boyfriends, Samantha Schoech writes with precision, grace, and considerable wit on subjects ranging from the magical to the mundane. Packed with sharply observed characters and surprising sentences that masterfully turn a story inside out, this collection is as unsettling as The Big One, but so much more fun. These are voices you'll hear in your head long after you've closed the book. A terrific read with a big San Francisco heart." —Michelle Richmond, bestselling author of The Marriage Pact and The Wonder Test

    Menopause: so many symptoms, so few remedies, so many years, so few heads-ups.  
    In Steamy, you’ll find forty-five of the ever-expanding list of things people can encounter when going through The Change, including challenges (such as #4 Night Sweats and #21 Anxiety) and boons (such as #41 Individuation and #45 Fewer Shits). In this raucous memoir, Susan Holbrook opens up an experience still constrained by cultural silences and myths. Steamy is honest, vulnerable, gross, and might just be the funniest book you’ve ever read about menopause, or anything else (see #37 Bloating). If, at a certain stage of life, you find yourself sucker-punched by a sweaty fistful of symptoms you can’t believe no one told you about, Steamy is for you – and for all the other hot-and-bothereds out there.
