Synopsis

In "The Coming of Peace (A Family Catastrophe)," Gerhart Hauptmann intricately weaves a narrative that explores the psychological and emotional repercussions of war on familial bonds. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I Germany, the novel employs a naturalistic literary style, characterized by its attention to detail and a deep focus on character development. Hauptmann's prose reflects the chaos and disillusionment of the era, as it chronicles the fallout from a family's fracture, revealing how external societal upheavals interface with intimate personal crises. Themes of reconciliation, loss, and the yearning for peace resonate throughout, emphasizing the fragility of human connections in tumultuous times. Gerhart Hauptmann, a Nobel laureate and a pivotal figure in German literature, was deeply influenced by the socio-political climate of his time, including his experiences in the Pan-European cultural milieu and the impact of industrialization. His engagement with existential themes, as well as his rich understanding of human psychology, culminate in this poignant work. "The Coming of Peace" not only reflects Kern's personal convictions but also serves as a commentary on the broader human condition, forever scarred by conflict. For readers grappling with the complexities of family dynamics and the enduring scars of war, Hauptmann's novel is a compelling read that encourages reflection on our shared humanity. "The Coming of Peace" invites contemplation on the paths to healing and understanding within the human experience, making it an essential addition to the shelves of those interested in psychological fiction and historical discourse.

    “An utterly engrossing, hilarious, and often tender novel of how one hundred-plus creative people made Broadway’s legendary, much-loved musical Camelot from scraps and sheer determination." 
    -- Stephanie Cowell, award winning author of Marrying Mozart, Claude & Camille, and The Boy in the Rain  
    ---- 
    What if the most conflicted lovers in Broadway’s Camelot aren’t Lancelot and Guenevere?  
    Set backstage during the out-of-town chaos of Lerner and Loewe’s now-classic 1960 musical, One More Seat at the Round Table portrays the struggles of feisty drama school grad Jane Conroy, who lands a plum Gal Friday job, and Bryce Christmas, a gifted, if insecure, actor on the verge of his big break. When Jane and Bryce fall helplessly in love during Toronto tryouts, their relationship is tested by mistakes they make and endless work woes: Camelot’s four-hour length, poor reviews, the illness of librettist Alan Jay Lerner, and the near-fatal coronary of director Moss Hart who quits. 
    As Lerner, composer Loewe, and their stars, Richard Burton and Julie Andrews, trudge on to Boston, doubts besiege Jane who hopes to buck convention and skip marriage and Bryce who wants a wife. They also discover hidden strengths as Jane gains agency backstage and Bryce takes charge of his talent. But will Jane’s commitment phobia derail their future? Will Camelot become a glittering hit? These questions create a tense roller-coaster ride to the end of Susan Dormady Eisenberg's wise and witty novel, a story about the transformative power of love and the luminous pull of Broadway as it casts its spell on performers and fans alike.

    ‘Truly gripping… I loved it.’ Jill Mansell, Sunday Times bestseller

    1944, the Cote d’Azur. 
    Artist Marguerite Segal is recruited by British Intelligence into befriending Etienne Valade, a local priest. Her mission is to persuade him to pass on information from the high-ranking German officers who attend his church: evidence of their war crimes. 
    Connected by a passion for art, Marguerite and Etienne soon fall in love, but their association increasingly puts her at danger of violent reprisals. With his church frequented by Nazis, Etienne is a suspected collaborator, and distrust is high.

    Mairynne has loved, lost, and found. And now. . . she returns. 
    Nantai is no longer as Mairynne remembers. Her journey to find her father took too long. The City by the Sea is no more than ash, and there is only one explanation: dragon fire. 
    In Ise, Mairynne fulfilled her destiny and accepted a companion from the Fey Queen. Now, the great pearlescent dragon is now bound to her soul. Although her dragon is innocent, what will returning mean for them? And if another dragon is burning cities, will putting her father back upon the Serpentine Throne be enough? 
    As she retraces her steps, she sees Nantai from a new perspective. Friends become enemies and enemies become friends, and she no longer has the strongest person she’s ever known to rely upon. Her father at her side reassures her, but she also fears his judgment when he learns of her dragon. 
    How will she handle the new state of her beloved country?
