Synopsis

This beautifully illustrated book charts the life, works and legacy of one of the world's most beloved authors, offering a seasonal guide to Jane Austen's life through the objects that surrounded her, the personal letters and manuscripts that she created, and the events that shaped her life and understanding.
It is created by Jane Austen's House - the enchanting Hampshire cottage where her genius flourished, now a museum that attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year - and reveals highlights from the museum's collection.
Arranged over the course of a calendar year, from snowy scenes in January to festive recipes in December, specially commissioned photography of Austen's home and possessions are brought together with extracts from her books, reproductions of her letters, and stories of her life throughout the seasons. Highlights include affectionate letters to her sister Cassandra, the story of the publication of the first edition of Pride and Prejudice, and the 'topaze crosses' that inspired Mansfield Park.
Read this book for a unique and intimate insight into Jane Austen's world. Dip into it as you will, or visit each month, and enjoy a full year of Austen – her life, works and letters, people and objects she knew, and of course her idyllic, inspiring home.

    How the Hell Did I Not Know...

    After quitting her job with an awkward text to her boss, Lucie Frost planned to live out her early retirement fantasy. Except she was lost, an empty nester with no job, no structure, no identity, and no clear purpose. Everything changed after she binge-watched the television program 90 Day Fiancé one day, which led to a stream of answers to her question about midlife stagnation: What do we do with our lives when our jobs or children are no longer making those decisions for us? 
    Her trivia-filled memoir, How the Hell Did I Not Know That?, follows the first year of Frost’s postretirement era, a year when curiosity pulled her off the couch and into a world where she discovered how to build a fulfilling life from the smallest of wonders—things like how to unboil an egg with urine (but why, oh why?), where the vice president of the United States lives (something we should know?), and why the sky is blue (wait, didn’t we learn that in third grade?). 
    How the Hell Did I Not Know That? is a witty and honest companion, a girlfriend, if you will, for women in midlife who are struggling to find their place in the world, who are concerned about misogyny, climate change, and the industrial prison complex, just not while watching the latest episode of The Bachelor. Frost shows us that women “of a certain age” need to take themselves seriously while remembering to laugh at inappropriate things and that they can find meaning in life by relying on the power of curiosity.

    There have been a decent amount of hard truths I've had to embrace as a gay Latter-day Saint in order to feel secure and confident in my role as a husband and father. As I've done so, however, I've been able to be successful in creating a joyous and lasting eternal marriage with an amazing woman. It's not a contrived marriage that I have to white-knuckle my way through; it's an intuitive, natural love and companionship that has stood the test of time and the most bitter of trials. From facing public controversy, to losing our son, to dealing with infertility, we've only become more resilient and connected, and our love has only deepened.

    The inside story of Israel’s secret negotiations to bring home their soldiers taken hostage by terrorist groups.  
     
    Suppose one day, your son or husband, while serving in the military or working as a journalist, is taken hostage by a terrorist group—and you have no idea whether your loved one is dead or alive or how to even make contact with the insurgents holding him. It’s a nightmare scenario that has sadly taken place dozens of times in the past twenty years in the Middle East. 
     
    Here in the U.S., the government does not always get involved. Instead, it will engage the services of a neutral country to negotiate with the terrorists.  
     
    Unfortunately, many times the terrorists insist on never-ending demands in order to torment the family of the hostage. Unlike Israel, we’ve never had a central address for these types of scenarios. But maybe after reading this book, it’s an idea we could, and should, consider. Ory Slonim, the international “door knocker,” was an invention of necessity by the Israeli government. 
     
    There were many good and brave human beings involved in this matter. Here for the first time is the story of the one man in Israel who, for more than two decades, was known as the “door knocker.” He had been a private Israeli lawyer when he was asked to undertake, on behalf of the Israeli government, secret negotiations to find out the whereabouts of Israeli soldiers who were taken alive. In his capacity as negotiator, his story will take you into the worlds of the furtive Mossad, the twisted minds of terrorists, the forever traumatized lives of the parents whose children never came home from battle, and into Ory’s own resilient, compassionate, and amazingly resolute negotiations when ordinary people would have easily broken down.hostage by terrorist groups. His ultimate mission was to bring them home, dead oralive. In his capacity as negotiator, his story will take you into the worlds of the furtive Mossad, the twisted minds of terrorists, the forever traumatized lives of the parents whose children never came home from battle, and into Ory’s own resilient, compassionate, and amazingly resolute negotiations when ordinary people would have easily broken down.
