Synopsis

In "Jinny the Carrier," Israel Zangwill crafts a poignant narrative that intertwines themes of identity, societal expectation, and resilience. Set against the vibrant backdrop of East London's immigrant community at the turn of the 20th century, the novel's lyrical prose and vivid characterizations bring to life the struggles of Jinny, a young Jewish girl who navigates a world rife with challenges. Zangwill's use of dialect and colloquialism adds depth to the characters, while his keen social commentary reflects the often overlooked complexities of working-class life and the immigrant experience during this transformative period in British history. Israel Zangwill, born in 1864, was a pivotal figure of his time, embodying the immigrant narrative that defines much of early 20th-century literature. His own experiences as the son of Jewish immigrants from Lithuania deeply influenced his work, fostering a strong sense of empathy towards marginalized communities. Zangwill was not only an accomplished writer but also an outspoken social reformer, advocating for the rights of Jews and immigrants, which is vividly echoed throughout "Jinny the Carrier." This novel is highly recommended for readers seeking a rich exploration of cultural identity and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. Zangwill's compelling storytelling offers not only an engaging fictional experience but also a critical reflection on the historical context that shaped so many lives. For those interested in literature that marries social commentary with heartfelt storytelling, "Jinny the Carrier" is an essential addition to their reading list.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    After four years on the bloody battlefields of Europe during World War II, Army Staff Sergeant Mark Shaw returns home to Arizona with nothing but the hope of living a quiet existence and chasing the sunset on horseback forevermore. Scarred by the war in the way only a soldier who has been on the front lines can be, his every step is haunted by the rattle of machine guns, the roar of artillery, and the screams of dying friends and comrades. 
     
     
     
    The homecoming he receives upon his return, though, is nothing like what he'd hoped for—a wife who couldn't wait for him in an America that has become almost unrecognizable in his absence. Shattered by her betrayal, Mark gives up on love, life, and the possibility of ever finding the peace he longs for. 
     
     
     
    Life is not quite done with Mark, however. While he throws himself into the backbreaking work of building a ranch, fate takes a hand, first in the form of Alma Cornbird, a Pima woman, then in the guise of a beautiful rodeo queen named Julie Wright. Both women are determined not to let him slip further into isolation and despair, and both leave their mark upon him. With their help, the violent afterimages of the war begin to fade, and life blooms again from the hollow shell it left behind. The only thing he lacks is the right horse on which to chase that sunset once more.

    IN THE MIDST OF BLOODSHED AND REBELLION A NEW GENERATION STRUGGLED TO BE BORN...
     
    The fifth book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
     
    In the British colony of Australia, the obstacles are challenging and never-ending. The new governor, Bligh — better known for his command on the Bounty and the mutiny against him — has already gained a relentless enemy: The New South Wales Corps, also known as The Rum Corps due to their profitable side business. Governor Bligh's other enemies are the Irish rebels — who wish to end his life!
    And what will be the fate of Jenny Taggart-Broome now? 
    The hardships of life in the colony, as always, hit "regular" people the hardest.
     
    Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.
