Beschreibung

In "Prosperity's Child," Eleanora H. Stooke crafts a poignant narrative that explores the complexities of wealth, privilege, and identity in a rapidly changing society. Through the lens of her well-drawn characters, Stooke employs a rich literary style that blends lyrical prose with sharp social commentary, evoking themes of moral responsibility in the context of affluence. Set against a backdrop of economic upheaval, the novel delves into the psychological struggles faced by those born into wealth, illuminating the emotional disconnect that can accompany prosperity. Eleanora H. Stooke, a noted cultural critic and novelist, draws on her extensive background in sociology and her own experiences as a member of a privileged class to inform her writing. Her academic insights into class dynamics and economic disparities allow her to uniquely capture the tensions that underlie human relationships within wealthy circles. Stooke's previous works have garnered critical acclaim for their nuanced exploration of societal norms and personal existential dilemmas, which are evident in "Prosperity's Child." Recommended for readers who appreciate incisive social narratives and character-driven stories, "Prosperity's Child" challenges us to reflect on our own relationship with affluence and the moral choices that accompany it. Stooke'Äôs masterful storytelling engages the reader to ponder the true cost of prosperity, making this novel a compelling addition to contemporary literature.

    Born a year apart, May and June Anderson were once as close as twins. Time and a loveless marriage changed the once vibrant May into June's timid counterpart. Now, two years after June abruptly disappeared, May receives a letter from her sister, inviting her to visit a mysterious colony in southern California. Eager to match June's boldness for once, May doesn't hesitate. 
     
     
     
    The Colony is located in a magnificent Spanish Revival-style mansion perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific, and is presided over by the group's charismatic leader, Rex. Colony members believe in an afterlife where departed souls mingle, and that the truly enlightened can even summon back the spirits of lost loved ones. May is told that June has recently left on a mission, and she's intrigued enough to accept Rex's invitation to stay until her sister's return. 
     
     
     
    Drawn deeper into the group, and under Rex's seductive spell, May undergoes their initiation ceremony. Yet her questions grow more urgent with June's continued absence—and the warnings of a presumptuous but charming undercover investigator. May has longed for the daring, adventurous life her sister pursued, but her arrival has sparked a dangerous unraveling within the Colony, where nothing and no one is quite as it seems.

    Praise for The Secret Hunter: 
    4 STARS from Romantic Times: 
    "Saville's romp is intriguing, with amusing characters.... although the sexual content is mild, the sensuality is on the mark, and the villain's identity is up for grabs almost to the end of the book." - Faith V. Smith, Romantic Times 
    "With a wounded hero to sigh over, his precious princess, scandalous secrets about to be exposed and a rambunctious, hairy pug of a matchmaker, THE SECRET HUNTER is definitely a delightful historical." - J.T., Romance Junkies 
    "A lively and engaging Regency romance; author Susanne Saville has crafted a fresh look at the fun that can be had when a hairy matchmaker draws two unlikely protagonists together. Daniel is a hero to admire.... Together with Gwenllian the sexual tension is a palpable thing, humming along through the story....To witness their falling in love is beautiful, romantic and emotional while working together to foil a traitor." - Lettetia, Ecataromance 
    The Secret Hunter was a Finalist in the Desert Rose RWA 2008 Golden Quill contest in the Regency category. It was also a finalist in the RWA Beau Monde Chapter's Royal Ascot Contest.

    The third installment of Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, “like Game of Thrones, but real” (The Observer, London)—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit BBC America television series. 
    After achieving victory at King Alfred’s side, Uhtred of Bebbanburg is returning to his home in the North, finally free of his allegiance to the King—or so he believes. An encounter with a vicious slave trader introduces Uhtred to Guthred, the self-proclaimed King of Northumbria. Curious about Guthred’s astounding claim, Uhtred follows him north. But he soon discovers fate has another incredible surprise in store, and begins an unexpected journey that climaxes in the midnight siege of a city thought impregnable—a dangerous seige that results in the forging of England. 
    Lords of the North is Bernard Cornwell’s finest work yet—a breathtaking adventure, but it also tells the story of the creation of English identity, as the English and Danes begin to become one people, appropriating each other’s languages and, thrillingly, fighting side-by-side.
