Sinopse

Spring 1944: In a fortified chateau hidden deep in the valleys of France, the Nazis are in the final stages of developing a terrifyingly deadly new weapon. Success would mean sure destruction for much of England and would dash all Allied hopes for a Normandy invasion. It’s up to the daring fighter pilots and crack navigators of the 633 Squadron to penetrate German defenses and, in the black of night, blast the doomsday project into extinction. Against incredible odds, this is the 633’s Operation Cobra...failure could forever alter the future of the free world.
 
Frederick E. Smith (1919-2012) joined the R.A.F. in 1939 as a wireless operator/air gunner and commenced service in early 1940, serving in Britain, Africa and finally the Far East. At the end of the war, he married and worked for several years in South Africa before returning to England to fulfill his lifelong ambition to write. Two years later, his first play was produced and his first novel published. Since then, he wrote over forty novels, about eighty short stories and two plays. Two novels, 633 Squadron and The Devil Doll, were made into films and one, A Killing for the Hawks, won the Mark Twain Literary Award.

    From the author of I, Claudius: “A re-weaving of Homeric myth reveals the true story of The Return of Odysseus for Nausicaa” (Kirkus Reviews).   In this innovative re-imagining of the Odyssey’s history, Sicilian princess Nausicaa recounts her story, and how she, not the poet Homer, came to write the Odyssey. Set in the eighth century BC, it recounts the story of a determined young woman who lives an adventurous life: rescuing her father’s throne from outside threats, freeing herself from an abusive marriage, and saving her two younger brothers from certain death. Nausicaa is a passionate, religious, and dynamic heroine who is more than a match for the heroes in the epic poem she claims to have authored.   “A great imagination and above all a powerful intellect.” —The Daily Telegraph

    Welcome to a town where men are an afterthought, and the women rule with elegant economy and iron wills. 
    In the quiet, provincial English town of Cranford, a formidable society of unmarried women and widows maintains the strict local social order. They are governed by rigid rules of propriety, observing everything with razor-sharp wit and masking their modest means behind a veil of aristocratic pride. But when the modern world begins to encroach—in the form of shocking male arrivals, scandalous romances, and the terrifying rumble of the new railway—the even tenor of Cranford life is thrown into sudden chaos. At the heart of it all is Miss Matty Jenkyns, a gentle soul hiding a quiet heartbreak, who must navigate personal tragedy and financial ruin while clinging to the unwavering support of her eccentric, fiercely loyal friends. 
    Why you will love this: This poignant and gently satirical gem of Classic Fiction is a masterful exploration of nineteenth-century female friendship, small town secrets, and the enduring power of community. Perfect for fans of Victorian literature, quiet domestic dramas, and stories of strong women defying societal expectations in rural England. Experience a lush, character-driven world full of humor, sorrow, and ultimate triumph. 
    Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (1810-1865) was a prominent Victorian author known for her sharp social observation, psychological nuance, and compassionate portrayals of all classes of society. Her works cemented her legacy as one of the nineteenth century's most essential and beloved literary voices.
