Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

E. M. Delafield's "Collected Novels of E. M. Delafield" presents an exquisite compilation of six unabridged works encapsulating the author's keen observations on early 20th-century English society. Delafield's literary style, characterized by its wit and keen social commentary, provides an intriguing blend of realism and irony, illuminating the often mundane lives of her characters while critiquing the societal norms that govern them. The selections include notable works like "The Diary of a Provincial Lady," which employs a unique epistolary format to relay the protagonist's struggles and aspirations, thereby giving readers insight into the complexities of female experience during this era. Emerging from a privileged yet restrictive background, E. M. Delafield (1890-1943) was shaped by her experiences as a writer, mother, and observer of early feminist movements. Her varied career, including work as a journalist and playwright, informed her powerful, relatable narratives. The juxtaposition of her artistic pursuits with the societal expectations of women influenced her storytelling, rendering her an essential voice in the suffragette discourse. This compelling collection is a must-read for those interested in the evolution of women's literature and the complexities of social structures in a rapidly changing world. Delafield's ability to intertwine humor with poignant social critique offers profound insights that resonate even today, making this anthology an indispensable addition to any literary canon.

GOD IS NOT FAIR - Coming To...

Joel A. Freeman

SO WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?
Sometimes life isn't fair, but we expect it to be. Why else would we be so angry and hurt when it isn't?
Written by Joel Freeman and read by Herman Veal, in a listener-friendly and thought-provoking style, Joel Freeman encourages readers to seek a greater understanding of their feelings of loss and grief through personal reflection. He also prompts discussion about their expectations of themselves, God and others.
This book is not filled with glib answers, which serve to drive honest strugglers into deeper disillusionment. Drawing on his years of experience in counseling people through their grief and suffering, Dr. Freeman provides a framework upon which can be found true, lasting peace and security.
Endorsed by Joni Eareckson Tada, Billy Graham, Paul Meier and others, "God Is Not Fair" presents helpful insights, poignant stories and touches of humor in revealing a biblical perspective on these questions. You are about to embark upon a remarkable journey.
ENDORSEMENTS:
When I became paralyzed in a diving accident, I felt that God owed me explanations. My questions were not unlike those of most people who suffer. With wit and disarming style, Joel Freeman helps us find at least some of those answers.
-- Joni Eareckson Tada, Author and Speaker
I was going through treatment for cancer and if one more person gave me some syrupy sweet, overly illustrated, "overly Job," candy coated, "shut-up-and-put-up-God-can-do-what-He-wants-so-you-have-no-right-to-feel-anger-or-grief-or-confusion" books I was going to go insane. Then I stumbled upon this book and it blew me away. It packs a powerful message that helps answer questions, but also helps you learn to deal with life’s problems.
-- Emma, a reader
