  ‘Offers a glimpse into the lives and dilemmas of women in America’s Gilded Age … a clever reworking of Mansfield Park’ Luisa A. Jones 
  Newport, 1895. After failing to make a positive impression on New York’s ‘old money’, Madeline Crosby and her beloved brother and protector, Hugh, escape to their inherited summer house in Newport. As Hugh’s half-sister who spent most of her childhood in a brothel until her mother died – something society is unwilling to forgive – Beachlands is the fresh start Madeline desperately needs. 
  The siblings expand their social circle, making ‘new money’ acquaintances. Despite his good nature, Hugh is prone to flirting and Madeline captures the unwanted attention of the man whose family destroyed her mother and continues to exploit women. 
  As lines are crossed and reputations threatened, Madeline becomes determined to ignore her heart and fix the situation. But can she keep her tarnished past buried? And will she ever allow herself to love?

  The Fairy Tale of Fr Brown - A...

  Despite his prosaic appearance and generally practical walk of life, Father Brown was not without a certain streak of romance in his composition, though he generally kept his daydreams to himself, as many children do. Amid the brisk, bright colours of such a day, and in the heraldic framework of such a town, he did feel rather as if he had entered a fairy tale. He took a childish pleasure, as a younger brother might, in the formidable sword-stick which Flambeau always flung as he walked, and which now stood upright beside his tall mug of Munich. Nay, in his sleepy irresponsibility, he even found himself eyeing the knobbed and clumsy head of his own shabby umbrella, with some faint memories of the ogre's club in a coloured toy-book. But he never composed anything in the form of fiction, unless it be the tale that follows:

  Robert A. Heinlein's Delilah and the Space Rigger is a sharp and thought-provoking science fiction short story that explores themes of gender roles, workplace dynamics, and progress in space exploration. First published in 1949, this story showcases Heinlein's trademark blend of humor, social commentary, and hard science fiction.The story takes place on a space station under construction, where an all-male crew is suddenly thrown into disarray when a female technician, Delilah, joins their ranks. The station's foreman is convinced that women have no place in such a harsh and demanding environment, fearing that her presence will disrupt discipline and efficiency. However, as the story unfolds, Delilah proves herself more than capable, challenging outdated prejudices and demonstrating that skill and competence matter far more than gender.With Delilah and the Space Rigger, Heinlein delivers a witty and insightful examination of societal attitudes toward women in traditionally male-dominated fields, set against the backdrop of humanity's expansion into space. The story remains relevant today, highlighting the importance of merit over bias and showcasing Heinlein's forward-thinking approach to science fiction.Fast-paced and engaging, Delilah and the Space Rigger is not only an entertaining tale of life in space but also a reminder of the evolving nature of human progress, both technologically and socially.
