Sinopse

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.

    Indulge yourself in snowflakes and hot chocolate with this cosy festive romance… 
    Widowed Megan Barnes used to love horses when she was a child, but the last thing she expected was for her deceased husband’s final gift to her to be a series of riding lessons, culminating in a trek through the snow. 
    Nathan Windrush is perfectly content with things just the way they are. He adores his job at the stables, and if he ever feels lonely he has his dog, the horses and a donkey to talk to. 
    But when Megan and Nathan meet, Megan finds herself attracted to him despite her feelings of guilt and betrayal, and Nathan begins to see Megan as more than just another horsey customer. 
    As winter’s grip tightens on the stables on Muddypuddle Lane, will Megan’s heart remain frozen in grief, or will the growing chemistry between her and Nathan be enough to thaw it? And does Nathan feel able to compete with her husband’s memory and try to win her love? 
    This is the fourth novella in the Stables on Muddypuddle Lane series, and although it can be listened on its own, you’ll have much more fun if you listen to the books in sequence and you’ve followed Petra and Harry’s story from the beginning.

    Screaming Woods, where the monster dwell . . . and love goes to die. 
     
     
     
    Or at least it feels that way. Because finding love isn't easy when you're green. Thanks to a mad scientist and his potion spiked punch, I'm a lovely shade of chartreuse and my scary reputation for being obsessed with sparkly shoes precedes me. 
     
     
     
    I'd given up on love until my dark knight literally rode in on a big, black horse. The spark was instantly there, the only thing missing—his head. 
     
     
     
    For once, someone saw me as more than the Wicked Witch, but that might have something to do with him being headless after sundown. 
     
     
     
    The Headless Horseman could be the one to break my dry spell of loneliness, but first I have to break it to him that he's worthy of love to. And I'm going to do that by showing just how wicked I can be. 
     
     
     
    He could be the one to break my dry spell, I just need to show him how good it feels to be wicked. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    She dazzled with Secrets of Whitewater Creek, now Sarah Barrie kicks off a brand–new trilogy about small towns, secrets, and the love that saves lives. 
     
    Successful horse trainer Alissa Morgan–Jones has the world at her feet, until a tragic fire destroys everything. Widowed, in debt and under suspicion for arson, Alissa's life is in tatters. Her mother–in–law's isolated farm gives her the opportunity to pull her life back together and get herself back on her feet. 
     
    Four years after fleeing the city and the scandal that ruined his career, disgraced lawyer Cameron Blakely has a successful new business and a new life. When his neighbour, Mavis Littleton is diagnosed with a terminal illness he volunteers to handle her affairs – and her farm until her daughter–in–law arrives to take over. When Alissa finally shows up, he's drawn to her immediately. But there's more to his new neighbour than her big blue eyes and lost expression. If only she'll open up and let him in. 
     
    But there are secrets in both Alissa's past and Hunters Ridge – secrets that jeopardise far more than Cameron's fledgling feelings. Lurking in the isolated wilderness is a danger that neither anticipates – but one that threatens everything: the town, their love, and their lives.
