    A beautiful story following two troubled men, separated by nearly a century, bound by the ghosts of their past 
    When George Allenby is put in charge of building a lake in the grounds of an imposing Irish manor house, he intends to do the job as swiftly as possible and return to Belfast. Allenby is still wrestling with his time as an officer during the First World War, burdened by the many things he could have done differently. 
    Almost a century later, Alex and Ellie are preparing for their wedding, sparing no expense to hire a venue overlooking the very lake Allenby built all those years ago. 
    Like Allenby before him, Alex is haunted by decisions he made in the past. Now, with the wedding drawing ever closer, he is at a crossroads. Telling the truth might free him from his guilt; it might also take away everything he cares about, including Ellie.  
    In this masterful portrait of love and betrayal, David Park reveals the many ways the past seeps into the present: destructive, formidable, but also hopeful, in the moments of fragile beauty that remain.

    "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." — Jane Austen
    
    Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life in the quiet village of Highbury. Wealthy, independent, and perhaps a bit too sure of her own judgment, she occupies her time by orchestrating the romantic lives of those around her. However, her well-intentioned meddling—particularly with her protégé, Harriet Smith—leads to a comedy of errors that threatens the happiness of her friends and herself. As Emma navigates a maze of social blunders and misplaced affections, she must confront the wisdom of her longtime friend and mentor, Mr. Knightley, and finally recognize the true desires of her own heart.
    
    The Art of the "Comedy of Manners": Austen's sharp wit shines as she satirizes the social pretensions and gossip of 19th-century provincial life. Through Emma's eyes, we see a world where a misunderstood glance or a misinterpreted letter can change a person's fate. It is a brilliant study of human nature that remains as relevant today as it was in the Regency era.
    
    A Heroine's Growth: Unlike many romantic leads of her time, Emma doesn't need to marry for money or status. Her journey is internal—it is a transformation from a spoiled, self-important young woman into a mature adult who understands the weight of her influence on others. The tension between her and the stoic, honorable George Knightley provides one of the most satisfying "slow-burn" romances in fiction.
