Synopsis

A Journey Through Invasion Narratives: 30 Books offers a compelling exploration into the multitude of ways authors have grappled with the theme of invasion across diverse contexts and literary styles. From historical retellings to speculative fiction, the collection captures an array of reactions to the unsettling prospect of invasion. The anthology weaves together stories of grand confrontations and intimate reckonings, creating a tapestry that challenges and entertains. Standout pieces ponder human resilience and adaptation in the face of external threats, enriching the anthology with multifaceted narratives that transcend time and place. The contributors to this anthology represent a diverse array of backgrounds and literary traditions, including the psychological depth of Pierre Loti, the evocative storytelling of Margaret Ellen James, and the satirical prose of P. G. Wodehouse. This mosaic of experiences reflects the myriad ways in which social, cultural, and historical contexts influence literary depictions of invasion. Drawing from the Romantic era to the post-war period, the anthology aligns with movements that challenge the status quo and seek to expand literature's role in society by raising questions of identity, power, and resilience. Readers of A Journey Through Invasion Narratives will embark on an enriching literary expedition, encountering varying perspectives that encourage reflection on the timeless and globally resonant theme of invasion. This anthology is not only a testament to the authors' distinctive voices but also an invitation to explore the complexities woven into their stories. It serves as a foundation for academic discussion and personal contemplation, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the interconnectedness of literature and human experience.

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

    The heartbreaking yet inspiring account of a young girl who suffered at the hands of nuns in the Nazareth House Convent in Northern Ireland. 
     
     
     
    Frances Reilly and her sisters were abandoned by their mother outside Nazareth House Convent—a Belfast orphanage run by nuns. Little did they know the unimaginable cruelty they'd endure within its walls. 
     
     
     
    Frances suffered horrifically at the hands of the Sisters: brutally beaten, worked like a slave, abused and molested, the convent regime stripped her of everything—education, innocence, and childhood. But the hope of rescue or escape never left her. 
     
     
     
    Years later, Frances would face her demons in court, bringing to account those who so viciously stole her youth. Suffer the Little Children is a gripping and moving story of one child's spirit of survival. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
