Sinopsis

In "The Greater Power," Harold Bindloss crafts a compelling narrative that navigates themes of ambition, nature's majesty, and the relentless struggle between man's aspirations and the elemental forces around him. Set against the rugged backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, the novel employs vivid imagery and lyrical prose, reflecting the author's deep admiration for the natural world. The story intricately weaves together the lives of its characters, showcasing their personal quests for fulfillment and the profound connections they forge with the land and each other, all while encapsulating the social context of the early 20th century that underscored the conflicts of progress and preservation. Harold Bindloss, a British-born Canadian writer, settled in Canada during his formative years, which profoundly influenced his literary output. His intimate familiarity with the Canadian landscape—shaped by his own experiences in agriculture and as a pioneering figure in the literary realm—imbues "The Greater Power" with authenticity and depth. Bindloss's works, often characterized by their exploration of the interplay between civilization and nature, ultimately reflect his belief in the vital connection to the land. Readers seeking an insightful exploration of human resilience against nature's grandeur will find "The Greater Power" a rich and rewarding experience. Bindloss's masterful storytelling invites readers to contemplate both the personal and universal challenges of existence, making this novel a classic worth revisiting for its timeless insights and evocative style.

    Louisa MacDonald was born in 1845, one of eleven children of part Scottish descent.  Together with three of her sisters they were known as the ‘MacDonald sisters’ primarily because of their marriages to well-known men.   
     
    In 1866 she married the wealthy industrialist Alfred Baldwin in a double wedding with her sister Anne.   
     
    After giving birth to Stanley on the 3rd August 1867, who would go on to become Prime Minister, she drifted into an unhappy life in her then residence in Worcestershire.  She had at least one miscarriage and days alone depressed and in darkness. 
     
    During the 1870’s the couple travelled to find a lasting cure and tried a variety of treatments which led to her recovery in 1883.  She now became a leading figure in her local village of Wilden, near Stourbridge. 
     
    Her writing career of novels, short stories and poetry is often overlooked, as was the case with so many women, yet her works reveal many talents and a gift for melding odd and weird circumstances into seemingly everyday life.   
     
    Louisa Baldwin died in 1925.

    "Sports is like war without the killing." "Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. "Ted Turner and President Woodrow Wilson have enlightened us with their innermost thoughts regarding sports and friendship. 
    Framily (friends considered family), in similar fashion to the first two books of the trilogy, "8" Center Field in New York, 1951-1957 and Dopey Bastid coalesces sports and friendship in a unique way. 
    Three friends since childhood, now adults and all reconnected with their teenage girlfriends and starting families; share the spotlight as the recollection of notable sporting events come to life. Relive accounts of the NCAA tournament with Magic and Bird, the USA Olympic hockey team miracle in 1980, the Mets World Series victory over the Red Sox in 1986, the Giants Super Bowl XXI triumph, and many others as you laugh out loud, perhaps shed a tear and reflect on the true meaning of friendship. 
    The Kirkus Review of Framily was highly complementary of the author... "Saulino has developed a smart way of storytelling via weaving his characters plotlines together with contemporary sports events... it's an eye-catching and inventive strategy... this novel will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good story about good friends."
