Sinossi

The "Fanny Burney Ultimate Collection" encapsulates the enduring brilliance of Frances Burney, showcasing her seminal contributions to the literary landscape of the 18th century. This comprehensive anthology includes her celebrated novels, plays, and insightful diaries, reflecting Burney's keen observations of society, intricate character development, and pioneering mastery of free indirect discourse. Her unique blend of wit and pathos, alongside a vivid narrative style, immerses readers in the social mores and complexities of her time, bridging the worlds of fiction and autobiography with a sophisticated elegance. Frances Burney (1752-1840) was not only an influential novelist but also a French Revolution witness and a courtier in the age of Samuel Johnson and Jane Austen. Her early encounters with prominent literary figures and her own experiences as a woman navigating a patriarchal society shaped her writings, often exploring themes of identity, class, and the trials of female agency. Burney's keen intellect and emotional depth, paired with her insatiable curiosity, positioned her as a crucial precursor to later feminist literature. This ultimate collection is highly recommended for readers seeking to explore the roots of modern novelistic form and feminist thought. Burney's remarkable narratives provide a compelling lens through which to examine the interplay of personal and societal identity, making this anthology an indispensable addition to the library of any literature enthusiast.

    Bah Humbug! 
    It’s almost Christmas and Detective Bunny McGarry is not in the festive spirit. His mood is not improved when an old friend becomes the victim of a violent assault and, for reasons he can’t understand, the police force he is a member of has decided not to investigate. Getting to the bottom of the case ends up putting him on the wrong side of some powerful people. How does all of this involve an Italian heiress who has disappeared? Why is the commissioner of the Gardai seemingly no longer in charge? And why is a certain teenage boy on the rampage swearing bloody vengeance? 
    Strap in as things are about to get seriously festive and the big fella is taking no prisoners. Some people have no appreciation of the fundamentals of the Christmas game. 
    The Family Jewels is book seven in the Amazon bestselling, critically acclaimed and numerically infuriating Dublin Trilogy.
