Sinossi

In "The Pearl of Orr's Island," Harriet Beecher Stowe crafts a poignant narrative that intricately weaves together themes of love, loss, and the intricate tapestry of human relationships. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque Maine island, the novel employs a vivid, descriptive literary style that captures the natural beauty and regional dialect of New England. Stowe's exploration of social issues—particularly the moral and economic dilemmas faced by her characters—reflects her broader literary context as a prominent abolitionist and advocate for social reform during the 19th century. Harriet Beecher Stowe, an influential American author and social activist, was deeply influenced by her own experiences, including her upbringing in a staunchly abolitionist family and her passion for social justice. These formative elements shaped her narrative focus in "The Pearl of Orr's Island," where the struggles of ordinary people mirror the societal challenges of her time. Stowe's commitment to portraying authentic human experiences is evident in her character-driven story, which delves into the complexities of personal sacrifice and moral responsibility. Readers seeking a rich, emotional narrative imbued with social commentary will find "The Pearl of Orr's Island" a compelling addition to their literary collection. Stowe's eloquent prose and profound characterizations invite reflection on the moral choices that define us, making this work a timeless exploration of the human spirit.

    Liberté, Egalité, Sororité 
    It’s 1885. When murderous circumstances force two widows--Annie & Euphémie---and the precocious Auguste to flee their French village, a quartet of missionaries from the Church of Solemn stow them away within the Statue of Liberty’s head on a steamer that arrives in New York after a deadly tempest. From NY, the Solemnites usher the refugees to the staid village of Solemn, Indiana, where pleasure is forbidden. 
    The village embraces the refugees while at the same time avoiding certain delicate subjects, including the relationship between the two widows, as well as Auguste’s endless blasphemies. 
    These delicate subjects become unavoidable when Solemn is tapped to host the All-Tent Revival. The revival calls itself a “multi-denominational marketplace for God.” More accurate would be: “a time-bomb composed of two-hundred rival factions of late-19th-century American crack-pot religious sects.”  
    Guess who sets off that bomb. 
    With its cast of obedient romantics, mystical nutbags, and adorable cynics, Sister Liberty is the rollicking, thunderous introductory volume to The Stables Family Chronicles. 
    WARNING! THIS AUDIOBOOK CONTAINS DESCRIPTIONS OF: whistling, allegorical situations, lesbians, apostasy, and a pleasure wheel. Also: Eleven instances of the word fuck.
