Synopsis

The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman H. G. Wells - Although Sir Isaac Harman didn't think much of the suffragette movement, his female employees certainly did, and he thought it prescient that he too should do his bit for women's rights. His wife totally agreed, so he locked her up. However, this gesture was to have far-reaching reverberations as Sir Isaac's wife becomes the absolute embodiment of women's independence. "The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman" is a novel by H. G. Wells, first written in 1914. Contents include: "Introduces Lady Harman", "The Personality of Sir Isaac", "Lady Harman at Home", "The Beginnings of Lady Harman", "The World according to Sir Isaac", "The Adventurous Afternoon", "Lady Harman learns about Herself", "Sir Isaac as Petruchio", "Mr. Brumley is troubled by Difficult Ideas", et cetera. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898).

    Danny Timmons has looked up to Jack Bailey ever since Jack saved two small children from drowning during the Great Flood of 1940. Now, with his father away fighting in World War II and his mother about to have a new baby, Danny relies on Jack’s friendship and guidance more than ever. 
    So when Jack goes missing without a trace from their small Appalachian town, Danny is determined to find him. He wonders if Jack’s abusive father could be behind his disappearance or if it has anything to do with Yonder—a hidden magical town Jack once spoke of, where flocks of rainbow birds fly through the sky and they’ve never heard of war. As answers elude him, Danny begins to fear that he didn’t know Jack as well as he thought. 
    Ultimately, Danny’s investigation forces him to reckon with even larger questions: What is America fighting for in this war? What role do each of us play in stopping injustices, big and small? And is there such thing as a true hero?

    Within the hall of infinite reflections in Mirrorhold, where reflectologists piece shattered gazes from glass webs and image impersonators mimic selves from the fractured light, reflectologist Lira pieces a shattered echo with impersonator Thorne, whose mimicked images hide a mosaic of swiped personas. Their mirror, shattered in glass vows and reflection-kissed shards, pieces truth—or multiplies it in endless halls of deception. As they reflect through hall-laced panes and gaze-bound illusions, shattered by mirror wardens and image rivals, Lira's reflectology craft merges with Thorne's impersonating guile, revealing an infinite legend of echoed fracture. When a broken pane summons doppelganger shades, they must shatter the gaze to realign the hall. In the echoes of fractured mirrors, where every whisper reflects a lie and every impersonation reveals the void, their twisted mystery becomes the shard that cuts to the true self.
