Beschreibung

The Collected Novels of E. M. Delafield presents a meticulously curated anthology that encapsulates the nuances of early twentieth-century British society through the lens of her various protagonists. Renowned for her keen observational style and sharp wit, Delafield's prose navigates the complexities of gender roles, social expectations, and the subtleties of domestic life, often employing a rich array of characters to illuminate the contradictions of her time. The collection, marked by a blend of realism and satirical humor, offers readers insight into the private struggles and public facades of the era's women, making it an essential study for those interested in the evolution of feminist literature and domestic fiction. E. M. Delafield, also celebrated for her diary entries and the acclaimed novel 'The Diary of a Provincial Lady,' draws from her own experiences as a woman in a patriarchal society. Her background as a writer and editor during a period of significant societal change allows her to thoughtfully explore themes of individuality and conformity. Delafield's unique perspective as a middle-class woman navigating the constraints of her time enriches her narratives with authenticity and depth. This collection is a critical read for anyone interested in the intersection of gender and genre in early 20th-century literature. Delafield's insightful commentary and rich character portrayals invite readers into a world where the mundane becomes poignant, making The Collected Novels an indispensable addition to both literary scholarship and personal libraries.

MEET THE UNFORGETTABLE YOUNG WOMAN, LaDene Faye Howell, who finds herself in police custody recounting her story after her paroled cousin Bobbie Frank appears and engages her in a crime spree. 
 
 
 
LaDene Faye Howell has spent her life in the small town of Devola, on an oxbow of the Muskingum River, in southeast Ohio. Her family is conservative and deeply religious, although another branch of the Howell clan are notorious criminals. When one of her outlaw relatives returns from prison, LaDene hopes the two of them may share an evening of fun, or even a spark of romance. Instead, Bobby Frank embroils her in kidnapping their old high school principal. 
 
  
 
Taken into custody, LaDene recounts her misadventures in the form of a dramatic monologue. Pledging to "tell all in full truth so help me God," she hopes to keep herself out of jail and perhaps even soften Bobby's likely sentence. She also aims to capture her listeners' sympathy by recounting a secret from her past that she has never shared before. 
 
 
 
Told with country noir flair, the heart of the story is LaDene's struggle to live as her own person while remaining true to her heritage and family loyalties.

Through interviews with insiders, the book provides a thrilling glimpse into the world of wealth and power, where figures like former FBI director Jim Comey and political candidates like David McCormick are influenced by Dalio's charisma. It serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the disconnect between making money and understanding human nature.

Welcome to The Problem Club, where logic takes a holiday and wit is the law of the land. In this delightful collection of early 20th-century comic tales by Barry Pain, twelve eccentric gentlemen gather regularly in an upscale London club to tackle bizarre, imaginative challenges—each one a “problem” designed to confound, amuse, and showcase their cleverness. 
From the unforgettable “Giraffe Problem”—in which each member must devise a scheme to make a woman say, “You ought to have been a giraffe”—to other equally ludicrous puzzles, Pain’s sharp humor and dry British charm shine through. 
Narrated with elegance and flair by Mike Polischuk, this audiobook is a perfect escape for lovers of clever banter, satirical storytelling, and tales that celebrate the absurd.

In a world filled with couples, regardless of gender or species, there are always a few misfits that don't quite belong. In this story, there are at least five, if not more, significant misfits that finally create their niche, the Loner's Niche, where outgoing narcissists aren't welcomed. 
The five individual stories that'll be intertwined are as follows and begin with Kiernan Prawl, and he's an exciting persona indeed. While he is entangled in a situation beyond his wildest expectations, Anya wonders why she even bothered to get involved in this mess. 
The second story is about a female, Anya Brody, recovering from a horrible tragedy. She also has some unexpected secrets that slowly get revealed when she's one of the first to learn of Kiernan's predicament. While she does accept Kiernan's issues with his male identity, Anya hadn't anticipated the possibility that she'd become so close to him that he'd reach out to her when he got into trouble. 
Not only that, but she's too familiar with the area he wound up in for comfort. It is where her trauma has driven her out to try and overcome her past. Now, she not only has to face her past, but she'll have to decide whether to become deeply involved with Kiernan and the others or remain a superficial acquaintance that is only good for the occasional chitchat in passing.
