Sinopsis

George Barr McCutcheon's "The Husbands of Edith" unfolds a captivating narrative that delves into the complexities of marriage, identity, and societal expectations in the early 20th century. This comedic yet poignant work is characterized by McCutcheon's adept use of witty dialogue and keen observational humor, as he explores the lives of its protagonists navigating the often tumultuous waters of love and familial duty. The novel is set within a framework of social conventions that both binds and liberates its characters, skillfully illustrating the dynamics of relationships against a backdrop of post-Victorian ideals and the emerging modern sensibility. McCutcheon, an accomplished American author and playwright, was known for his ability to blend romance with keen social commentary. His experience in the early 1900s—when traditional gender roles were being scrutinized and redefined—fueled his exploration of the evolving marriage landscape. With a background in journalism and a penchant for storytelling, McCutcheon channels his observations into relatable characters, resonating deeply with the anxieties and aspirations of his time. Readers seeking a blend of humor and insight into the intricacies of marital life will find "The Husbands of Edith" both engaging and thought-provoking. McCutcheon's nuanced portrayal of love and loyalty invites reflection on the enduring nature of these themes, making this novel a must-read for those interested in early 20th-century literature and the evolution of romantic relationships.

    The uplifting love story, guaranteed to make you smile from the bestselling winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Award 2024, Maxine Morrey 
    Wedding planner Madeleine lives in a picture-perfect thatched cottage, in a picture-perfect English country village. 
    There’s only one problem - dream cottages take a lot of work, and with a leaking roof, and not enough money to pay for it, what Maddie needs now is a big wedding to plan. 
    So she’s delighted when she takes on the wedding of Californian heiress Peyton, to all-round good guy Patrick. She’s less delighted to find out that she's going to have help – from the admittedly gorgeous, but equally maddening, tall, dark and handsome best man Lorcan. 
    The wedding is set to take place in a castle in rural Ireland, and so, in no time, Maddie and Lorcan are on their way to Ballalee. Life hasn’t always been easy for Maddie, and work has become her refuge. But soon the warmth and humour of Lorcan’s Irish family and friends start to chip away at Maddie’s walls. And as the big day approaches, it might be time for Maddie to focus less on her clients’ love life and more on her own…

    Discover the feel-good and utterly uplifting love story from the top 50 bestselling author Maxine Morrey 
    To find true love, first you have to truly love yourself… 
    Fleur French does not have the best of luck when it comes to life and love, and her current boyfriend Jasper is yet another person who only seems to like Fleur when she moulds herself into his idea of the perfect partner. So, when she finds herself single, jobless and homeless, Fleur has to decide if she’s ready to finally be herself – if only she knew who that was. 
    Matt Morgan saw things he’ll never forget when he was deployed in the military, but now back home in Wales, the recuperative powers of the stunning countryside are working their magic. And when Fleur takes a job at his mother’s hotel, Matt senses she could benefit from that same magic – if only Fleur realised it too. 
    It’s hard to be yourself, when you’ve never felt you quite fitted in. But with new days come new opportunities, and as Fleur begins to flourish and find out who she really is, her luck in love might be about to change too.

    The stories contained in 7 Foot Man Eating Chicken are meant to drive the listener around the  world of professional basketball as seen through the unusual tales of a sports agent.The chapters thankfully are not about me but rather delve into the sometimes surreal and bizarre situations and character's I have encountered during the 35 years I've spent representing over 200 professional basketball players both in the NBA and around the World. 
    It's all meant in good fun with maybe an occasional flash of insight. That's the listener's decision.
