Sinopse

An Englishman struggles to preserve his dignity in the face of intrigue, deceit, and WWI in the second novel of the celebrated Parade’s End tetralogy.   Christopher Tietjens is an officer and a gentleman, but when he meets the beautiful and spirited Valentine Wannop, he is driven to finally betray his loveless marriage. However, before their love can be consummated, Christopher must leave Valentine and the security of Edwardian England behind in order to serve his country in World War I.   Stationed in France, Christopher soon learns that his wife, Sylvia, is also there. And though her true intentions are as mysterious as ever, she soon has Christopher caught in a dilemma from which his only escape is to join the chaos of the front. No More Parades is both a panoramic portrait of the Great War and a penetrating examination of shifting cultural norms in the early twentieth century.

    A gripping Gothic tale of possession, madness and murder, Hilda Vaughan's Harvest Home, first published in 1936, is set in 'Abercoran' on the south-west coast of Wales during the reign of George III. One fine morning Daniel Hafod rides home from England to become Master of 'Great House' after the death of his uncle. But his obsessive pride and his dark desire for the pretty dairy-maid Eiluned lead to his downfall, as he and his sailor cousin, Dan, compete for her love. One of Vaughan's most appealing heroines, Eiluned herself strives to remain steadfast under pressure.Outstanding in its lyrical evocation of a bygone Welsh rural life, Harvest Home is also a tautly-written psychological study of a man driven mad by desire. It draws on tales of the wreckers then active on the Welsh sea-coast, the legend of Blodeuwedd from the Mabinogi,and superstitions associated with 'Nos Galan Gaeaf' (All Hallows'Eve) when spirit voices call out the names of those soon to die. Hilda Vaughan's portrayal of 'Abercoran' (an ancient name for Laugharne where she often stayed) vividly depicts its haunting estuarine landscape as well as weaving in some of the folklore and folk-customs associated with the area.Harvest Home is the 28th publication in the Welsh Women's Classics series, an imprint that brings out-of-print books in English by women writers from Wales to a new generation of readers.

    Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.Anna's Love Letters:"Are you going to answer Gilbert's letter tonight, Anna?" asked Alma Williams, standing in the pantry doorway, tall, fair, and grey-eyed, with the sunset light coming down over the dark firs, through the window behind her, and making a primrose nimbus around her shapely head.

    This much-loved novel was, by Dickens’s own admission, his ‘favourite child’. It is easy to see why, with its colourful characters ranging from the repulsive Uriah Heep to the endlessly improvident Micawbers, and dominated throughout by the moving story of David’s search for a family and a home…
