Beschreibung

In "Seth's Brother's Wife: A Study of Life in the Greater New York," Harold Frederic deftly navigates the complexities of early 20th-century American life through a narrative rich with emotional depth. Set against the backdrop of an evolving urban landscape, this novel explores the struggles of its protagonist, Seth, as he confronts familial loyalty, unrequited love, and societal expectations. Frederic employs a naturalistic style, vividly depicting the tensions between personal desires and social conventions, while using sharp dialogue and a deeply evocative setting to capture the spirit of the era. Harold Frederic, an American writer renowned for his portrayal of life in the Northeastern United States, infused his own experiences as a correspondent in New York City into this novel. His keen observations of the city's dynamics reflect an intimate understanding of human relationships within the bustling metropolis, reflecting the transitional nature of American society at the time. Frederic's background in journalism informs his precise and realistic narrative style, offering readers a compelling glimpse into the lives of those navigating the complexities of urban existence. This book is highly recommended for those interested in American literature and the social conditions of the late 19th century. Frederic's vivid storytelling and incisive character studies invite readers to both reflect on and immerse themselves in the intricate tapestry of life within Greater New York, making it a significant work for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of American cultural history.

    Sarai, the last child of her aged father, is beautiful, spoiled, and used to getting her own way. Even as a young girl, she is aware of the way men look at her, including her half brother Abram. When Abram finally requests Sarai's hand, she asks one thing—that he promise never to take another wife as long as she lives. Even her father thinks the demand is restrictive and agrees to the union only if Sarai makes a promise in return—to give Abram a son and heir. Certain she can easily do that, Sarai agrees. 
     
     
     
    But as the years stretch on and Sarai's womb remains empty, she becomes desperate to fulfill her end of the bargain—lest Abram decide that he will not fulfill his. To what lengths will Sarai go in her quest to bear a son? And how long will Abram's patience last? 
     
     
     
    Jill Eileen Smith thrilled readers with The Wives of King David series. Now she brings to life the strong and celebrated wives of the patriarchs, beginning with the beautiful and inscrutable Sarai.

    There is more than one way to fight a war...An extraordinary story of grit, love and loss, based on the true history and real experiences of Australian nurses in World War 1. 
      
    'Heart-achingly raw yet filled with the beauty of the human spirit, this novel is a triumph that will linger in the heart and psyche.' Karen Brooks, author of The Good Wife of Bath 
    In 1915, as World War 1 rages in Europe and the numbers of dead and injured continue to grow, Australian nurse, Sister Cora Barker, leaves her home in Australia for England, determined to use her skills for King and country. When she arrives at Harefield House - donated to the Australian Army by its expatriate Australian owners - she helps transform it into a hospital that is also a little piece of home for recuperating Australian soldiers. 
    As the months pass, her mission to save diggers lives becomes more urgent as the darkest months of the war see injured soldiers from the battlefields of France and Belgium flood into Harefield in the thousands. When the hospital sends out a desperate call for help, a quiet young seamstress from the village, Jessie Chester, steps up as a volunteer. At the hospital she meets Private Bert Mott, a recovering Australian soldier, but the looming threat of his return to the Front hangs over them. Could her first love be her first heartbreak? 
    Cora's and Jessie's futures, their hearts and their lives hang in the balance as the never-ending wave of injured and dying soldiers threatens to overwhelm the hospital and the hopes of a nation rest on a knife edge. The nurses war is a war against despair and death, fought with science and love rather than mustard gas and fear - but can they possibly win it? And what will be the cost?
