Sinopsis

In "The Silver Canyon: A Tale of the Western Plains," George Manville Fenn weaves a riveting narrative set against the backdrop of the untamed American West. The novel combines elements of adventure and coming-of-age, as it portrays the journey of young heroes navigating the challenges of frontier life. Fenn's descriptive prose captures the expansive plains and treacherous canyons, lending an atmospheric depth to the characters' quests for identity, belonging, and moral integrity amid lawlessness. Structurally, the work reflects the Victorian literary tradition, exhibiting an ethical undertone and a deep-seated optimism that characterizes much of Fenn's oeuvre, while also aligning with the era's fascination with exploration and the frontier spirit. George Manville Fenn, a prolific writer and educational reformer, immersed himself in the themes of adventure and morality often found in his works, influenced by his own experiences in the great outdoors and collaborative ventures with local communities. His background, including his engagement with the struggles of rural life, informed both the setting and the moral undercurrents of "The Silver Canyon." Fenn sought not only to entertain but to instill a sense of courage and honor within his readers. For readers who cherish tales of exploration enriched with ethical dilemmas and vivid landscapes, "The Silver Canyon" stands out as a quintessential Western saga. Fenn'Äôs masterful storytelling invites readers to experience the vitality of the Western frontier while provoking thoughtful reflections on humanity's resilience and moral choices. This novel is a must-read for enthusiasts of classic adventure literature.

    Set in Vienna from 1910 to 1946, All of You Every Single One is an atmospheric, original, and deeply moving novel about family, freedom, and how true love might survive impossible odds.Julia Lindqvist, a woman unhappily married to a famous Swedish playwright, leaves her husband to begin a passionate affair with a female tailor named Eve. The pair run away together and settle in the more liberal haven of Vienna, where they fall in love, navigate the challenges of their newfound independence, and find community in the city’s Jewish quarter. But Julia’s yearning for a child throws their fragile happiness into chaos and threatens to destroy her life and the lives of those closest to her. Ada Bauer’s wealthy industrialist family have sent her to Dr. Freud in the hope that he can cure her mutism—and do so without a scandal. But help will soon come for Ada from an unexpected place, changing many lives irrevocably.Through the lives of her queer characters, and against the changing backdrop of one of the greatest cities of the age, Hitchman asks what it’s like to live through oppression, how personal decisions become political, and how far one will go to protect the ones they love. Moving across Europe and through decades, Hitchman’s sophomore novel is an intensely poignant portrait of life and love on the fringes of history.

    The indefatigable Miss Phryne Fisher returns to solve what may be her most puzzling murder. 
     
    When Phryne Fisher is invited to Bendigo to witness the investiture of her old friend Lionel, who is being made a Bishop, her expectations of the solemn and dignified ceremony do not include a murder. 
     
    Phryne is soon working with perspicacious local Constable Watson and eagle-eyed Inspector Mick Kelly to identify the perpetrator. It becomes quickly apparent the murder victim had been an overzealous deacon with a nose for trouble. Nobody seems very inclined to mourn his passing. 
     
    Applying her quick wits and magnetic charm, Phryne and her expanding team of sleuths discover murky layers of church politics, social scandals and business scams and blackmail. Soon, various suspects begin to form a long list, all with excellent motives for killing the deacon. Could the murderer be his own wife? A visiting dignitary? The mysterious organist? The angelic Brookes? The unemployed teacher? And why is the Bishop's Court being burgled? 
     
    Meanwhile the clock is ticking ... Will Phryne be able to bring to light the proof she needs before the killer strikes again or disappears completely?

    Murder Most Foul is a dark, witty and fast-paced novel, from one of Britain’s best-loved screenwriters. 
    It’s 1593, Elizabeth I is Queen and everyone is terrified of the worst outbreak of plague in a generation. Shakespeare has only written six plays and is lagging behind his friend Christopher Marlowe, London’s leading playwright. 
     
    When Marlowe is stabbed to death in mysterious circumstances, rumours abound – but the one that won’t go away is that Shakespeare did it to remove his greatest rival. Will is determined to clear his name, and teams up with his old flame, Marlowe’s sister Ann, who has plenty of secrets of her own. 
     
    In their search to solve the crime, Will and Ann uncover a dark world of treachery, murder, and corruption – which in turn provides Shakespeare with scenes and characters which will appear in his greatest plays.
