Sinopse

In "Her Father's Daughter," Gene Stratton-Porter weaves a poignant narrative that blends themes of familial loyalty, personal ambition, and the struggle for identity within the picturesque settings of early 20th-century Indiana. The novel's lyrical prose and rich imagery reflect Stratton-Porter's background in naturalism, showcasing her ability to intertwine human experiences with the beauty of the natural world. Set against the backdrop of the Great Lakes, the story unfolds through the eyes of a spirited young woman grappling with the expectations of her father and societal norms, revealing complex dynamics of love and independence. Gene Stratton-Porter, an esteemed author and naturalist, drew from her own experiences as a pioneer in environmental advocacy and a strong sense of place. Raised in a rural environment, her appreciation for nature and strong familial bonds greatly influenced her writing. Stratton-Porter's commitment to social issues, particularly women's rights, is evident in her characters, who often face societal constraints, echoing her own struggles and triumphs as a female author in a male-dominated literary landscape. "Her Father's Daughter" is a must-read for those interested in early American literature and the historical context of women's roles within it. Stratton-Porter's eloquent prose and deeply rooted themes of resilience and self-discovery make this novel a timeless reflection, appealing to readers seeking both a heartfelt story and a connection to nature.

There, he intends to conclude his life, as Earth now only has days before it will be engulfed by the dying sun…

    Tommy West is the finest Elvis Presley tribute in the North West of England. At least, that’s what is says on his van. 
    Off stage however, his life is a mess. He can’t pay his rent, his child maintenance is crippling him, and his old Bedford needs new tyres. Tommy is broke, drinks too much Guinness, smokes too much weed and is frightened of his own shadow. 
    So, as Tommy is such a delicate soul, you may ask why, on the first day of lockdown, he finds himself on his way to Folkstone in a borrowed fruit and veg van in the company of a psychotic Rangers fan, a sex starved blonde, a cross dressing navigator and an Afghan slave? 
    Why indeed? 
    All Shook Up is an irreverent look at modern life and pokes a rather sharp stick at political correctness in all its forms.
