Beschreibung

In "Laddie," Gene Stratton-Porter crafts a poignant coming-of-age story infused with themes of nature, familial bonds, and the trials of youth. Set against the backdrop of rural Indiana, the narrative follows the adventures of a spirited young girl and her beloved brother, Laddie. Stratton-Porter's vivid descriptions and lyrical prose immerse the reader in the natural world, reflecting her deep appreciation for the flora and fauna that surround the characters. The book's literary style harmonizes personal experience with a broader commentary on the passage of time and the innocence of childhood, revealing the interconnectedness of human lives and the environment. Gene Stratton-Porter, an avid naturalist and a prominent figure in early 20th-century American literature, drew upon her own idyllic childhood experiences in creating "Laddie." Her passion for nature and wildlife, coupled with her dedication to storytelling, profoundly influenced her writing. Stratton-Porter was also a pioneering woman in the literary field, advocating for conservation and women's rights, themes that resonate through her extensive body of work, including this celebrated novel. "Laddie" is a masterful exploration of the joys and challenges of growing up, and is highly recommended for readers seeking a nostalgic yet insightful glimpse into a simpler time. Stratton-Porter's engaging narrative and rich characterizations make it a timeless read, appealing to both young and adult audiences alike who appreciate stories that celebrate the intertwined relationship between humanity and nature.

    Lady Susan

    This high-spirited tale, told through an exchange of letters, is unique in Jane Austen’s small body of work. It is the story of Lady Susan, a brilliant, beautiful and morally reprehensible coquette who delights in making men fall in love with her, deceiving their wives into friendship and even tormenting her own daughter, cruelly bending her to her will.
    
    Austen clearly delighted in her wicked heroine—tracing Lady Susan’s maneuverings to remarry yet continue on with her lover, and to marry off her young daughter, with great wit, zest and unfailing panache.
    
    This little-known gem, Austen’s only epistolary work, is perhaps both her funniest and bitchiest book.

Adding to the pressure? Her entire band is depending on her. But Domino has never been one for responsibility. So, instead of writing, she surfs, drinks, and finds pretty women to keep her company.

    When Domino's band hires Sabrina to organize Dom's house to hopefully get her back on track to get in a songwriting state of mind, the two women find themselves spending a lot of time together.

    It is winter in the Cotswolds and a suspicious death has occurred. Psychic medium ‘Madame Zelda’ is found dead on Christmas morning, an open box of chocolates by her side. DCI Hayley Pascal and her new oppo, DS Artie Frobisher, have little to occupy themselves over the dead time that is Christmas at Oxford Police Station, until the chocolates are found to contain a poisonous substance. Cold cases can wait. They now have a new case to solve: one of MURDER.  
    There are no shortage of suspects: the victim’s feckless husband Charlie, her simple-minded son Luke and Grant Vaughan, the man she has cut out of his mother’s will. Added to these complications, Hayley Pascal is missing her daughter, who lives with her ex-husband in Paris and who has promised to visit her at New Year, but doesn’t. Here is a straightforward murder mystery in the tradition of Agatha Christie, but it is also a story of ordinary people driven to drastic measures through loneliness, misery and the need for revenge.
