Sinossi

In 'Summer' by Edith Wharton, a captivating tale set in the rural landscapes of New England, the author explores the complex themes of morality, social class, and female sexuality. Written with Wharton's signature elegant prose and sharp wit, the novel delves into the turbulent love affair between the poor, young Charity Royall and the sophisticated Lucius Harney, challenging societal conventions and shedding light on the limitations imposed on women in the early 20th century. Wharton's keen observations of human nature and attention to detail make 'Summer' a compelling read that offers valuable insights into the constraints faced by individuals in a traditional society. The novel is a must-read for those interested in feminist literature and historical fiction, as it provides a nuanced portrayal of gender dynamics and class struggles during the Gilded Age.

    Seth Tanner and Evan Malone head to Savannah, Georgia, to hunt the seventh of the coven members responsible for the death of Seth's brother and so many other victims over the past hundred years. 
     
    Seth and Evan fell in love when Seth rescued Evan from one of the dark witches, and they went on the road together to stop the murders. Their relationship is new and intense, growing deeper with the danger, giving them both a reason to survive and gain vengeance. 
     
    Sterling Vernon is a prominent restaurateur with a thriving array of businesses, and he's also the seventh witch-disciple with a new victim in his sights.

    Paxton Miller is Vernon's next intended victim. When Vernon puts a killing curse on Evan to force a confrontation with Seth, it's going to take all of Seth's courage and cleverness, as well as help from their friends with supernatural abilities, to save Evan and Paxton and stop Vernon once and for all.

    “Chloé Caldwell’s 2014 novella Women, about a woman falling in love with another woman for the first time, became a queer cult classic. In Trying, the writer again uses the fragmentary form, candor, and wit to study ‘the brain of someone trying to get pregnant.’ … When another form of grief suddenly bursts into her life, it ultimately signals a rebirth.”—Jasmine Vojdani, Vulture 
      
    If you’re writing about your life in real time, are you inherently fucked? 
      
    Over the years that Chloé Caldwell had been married and hoping to conceive a child, she’d read everything she could find on infertility. But no memoir or message board reflected her experience; for one thing, most stories ended with in vitro fertilization, a baby, or both. She wanted to offer something different. 
      
    Caldwell began a book. She imagined a selective journal about her experience coping with stasis and uncertainty. Is it time to quit coffee, find a new acupuncturist, get another blood test? Her questions extended to her job at a clothing boutique and to her teaching and writing practice. Why do people love equating publishing books with giving birth? What is the right amount of money to spend on pants or fertility treatments? How much trying is enough? She ignored the sense that something else in her life was wrong that was not on the page … until she extracted a confession from her husband. 
      
    Broken by betrayal but freed from domesticity, Caldwell felt reawakened, to long-buried desires, to her queer identity, to pleasure and possibility. She kept writing, making sense of her new reality as it took shape. With the candor, irreverence, and heart that have made Caldwell’s work beloved, Trying intimately captures a self in a continuous process of becoming—and the mysterious ways that writing informs that process.
