Sinopsis

Set against the backdrop of early 19th-century France, Balzac's "A Woman of Thirty" explores the intricate labyrinth of love, desire, and societal constraints through the life of a woman navigating the complexities of her emotions and relationships. Written in Balzac's signature realist style, the novella intricately weaves detailed character studies with observations on the social norms of the time, offering insight into the struggles faced by women in a patriarchal society. The narrative employs vivid imagery and psychological depth, allowing readers to immerse themselves in both the inner life of the protagonist and the broader societal commentary that underscores her decisions. Honoré de Balzac, a pivotal figure in the literary movement known as Realism, is well-regarded for his extensive catalog that elucidates the human condition. Drawing from his experiences in a changing French society, Balzac's works frequently reflect his interest in the interplay between personal ambitions and social structures. "A Woman of Thirty" showcases his acute observations on gender dynamics and the shifting expectations of women during this period, highlighting the profound emotional conflicts within his characters. For readers seeking a rich exploration of human emotions framed by societal pressures, "A Woman of Thirty" is an essential read. Balzac's masterful storytelling and heartfelt character portrayals invite reflection on timeless themes of love and identity. This novella not only enriches the canon of feminist literature but also serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring struggles women face in pursuit of autonomy and fulfillment.

    Lord Charles Sheridan and his American wife, Kate, are on an archaeologist dig, excavating sections of Hadrian's Wall, when they are summoned to Glamis Castle by King Edward. Nestled in the rugged Grampian Mountains, Glamis is the most historic castle in all of Scotland, a place teeming with dark secrets and haunting shadows. While Kate winds her way through the elaborate manor, gaining inspiration for her next Gothic novel, Lord Charles discovers the reason behind their journey. It seems Prince Eddy, heir to the throne until his purported death in 1892, has actually been alive all these years. Deemed unfit to rule, he has been living secretly at Glamis under an assumed name. But now the prince has gone missing—on the very morning the body of one of his servants was found, her throat slashed in a manner eerily reminiscent of the Ripper's. Now, Charles and his clever Kate must find Eddy and clear his name—while keeping his true identity a secret...

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume the once forgotten literary backwaters of Scandinavia, and its hinterland, reveal the storied works of their own literature.  Some names are familiar, some decidedly not.  But each has literary talents and compelling narratives.

    Castle Gate - The Audiobook

    Castle Gate isn’t just set in the past — it’s haunted by it. 
    Step back in time, and across the veil. 
    Castle Gate is a gorgeously researched, spiritually resonant historical novel rooted in genealogy and the lives lost in Utah’s 1924 Castle Gate Mine Disaster. Woven with ancestral voices and emotional truth, it brings to life what it meant to be an immigrant, a miner, a woman, or a child navigating the injustices of early 20th-century coal town America—where company scrip ruled, housing was tied to the job, and Prohibition-era secrets ran deep. 
    But this is more than a glimpse into the past. 
    It’s a story the dead have been waiting to tell—one of resilience, injustice, and the healing power of being witnessed across generations. 
    Weaving together meticulous research and her own ancestral lineage, award-winning author Lisa Bonnice channels a tale both personal and universal—blurring the line between history and mediumship. This is the kind of story that keeps you walking longer, driving slower, and listening deeper. 
    “… we don’t really die until someone says our name for the last time.” 
    ✨ Narrated with wit and warmth by Scottish voice artist Eleanor Morton. 
    📎 Bonus PDF includes: archival photos, historical references, discussion guide, and a full list of the men lost in the Castle Gate disaster.
