Sinopse

In "Joyce Morrell's Harvest," Emily Sarah Holt weaves a compelling narrative set against the backdrop of rural England, exploring themes of love, sacrifice, and the harsh realities of farm life. Holt employs a rich, descriptive literary style, immersing readers in the sights and sounds of the countryside while simultaneously delving into the complexities of familial and societal expectations. The novel's contextual backdrop reflects the late 19th-century agrarian society, characterized by rigid social classes and the challenges posed by industrialization, making it a profound commentary on the shifts occurring during the period. Emily Sarah Holt, a notable figure in Victorian literature, drew inspiration from her own life experiences and her deep-rooted connection to the countryside. Her work often reflects her awareness of women's roles in society and their resilience in the face of adversity. Holt's genuine portrayal of agrarian life, along with her nuanced characters, showcases her dedication to illuminating the female perspective during an age of oppression, making this novel a significant contribution to feminist literature of her time. "Joyce Morrell's Harvest" is highly recommended for readers seeking an insightful exploration of rural life and the struggles of women within it. With its intricate character development and evocative prose, Holt's novel is both a poignant reflection on the past and a timeless examination of human resilience.

    Del Norte Town Marshal "Bloody" Joe Mannion and his junior deputy, Henry "Stringbean" McCallister, run down an especially violent as well as beguiling outlaw in the pretty form of Mathilda Calderon. The senorita is just one pretty girl, but she fights like a leg-trapped puma, leaving Mannion with an arm full of buckshot and Stringbean hurting where a man just shouldn't be attacked, gallblastit! 
     
     
     
    Senorita Calderon is wanted not only for aiding and abetting the commission of a federal crime but to testify in a court trial against her boyfriend, the notorious border bandito and revolutionario, Diego Hidalgo, who stole three Gatling guns from the US Army, wiping out a dozen soldiers in the deadly process. Hidalgo and three members of his gang were captured by the Army. The US Marshal for the Southwestern District has sent three deputy US marshals to retrieve the senorita from Del Norte, and to escort her to Tucson.

    Ever wondered about the paths of our ancestors? Wetion (2nd edn) appeals to those open to discovering ways to chart a future using lessons from the past. 
    There’s a part of us all in Addy’s tale. Combining 19 chapters of interconnected short stories with ten scene play, each with its own original song, listeners experience words making history, alongside the drama, tragedies, romance, lessons, lore and more. 
    Addy is the character connecting early human history to the present. Using a DNA test, he establishes the migration routes of the ancestors and conducts an experiment. Using plants gathered from places once inhabited, he concocts a salad. If his theory was correct, consumption would unlock deep memories of ancestors’ past. What follows is a state of altered consciousness too real to be a dream. 
    The highs and lows of 2,000 generations are told in stories revealing the meaning of Wetion. 
    This novel provides a new multimedia experience, is the first of a trilogy and only available in audiobook format. Experimental fiction it is, laced with homage to the bards. 
    Wetion is a 2026 Audie Award entrant for Best Production and Sound Design.
