Synopsis

In 'Sun Hunting,' Kenneth Lewis Roberts employs a vivid and evocative prose style to explore the intricate relationship between humanity and the natural world, particularly in the context of hunting and survival. The narrative unfolds in a richly textured setting, showcasing Roberts' deep appreciation for nature while delving into the moral complexities of hunting. Through the lens of his characters' experiences, the book raises profound questions about ethics, tradition, and the balance between man and the environment, all woven seamlessly into the fabric of early 20th-century American literature, marked by its regionalism and realism. Kenneth Lewis Roberts, a native of Maine, was heavily influenced by his surroundings and the traditions of rural life, which shaped his literary voice. His experiences as a newspaper editor and political commentator allowed him to develop a keen understanding of societal issues. Coupling this with his passion for the outdoors, Roberts brought a unique perspective to 'Sun Hunting,' making it a reflection of his own life and the conflicts that defined the American identity during an era of rapid change. Readers seeking a profound exploration of nature and morality will find 'Sun Hunting' to be a compelling read. Roberts' masterful narrative not only captivates but also provokes thoughtful reflection on our place within the ecosystem, making it an essential addition to the canon of American literature.

    The French Revolution comes to vivid life as the USA Today–bestselling author’s Devereux Trilogy continues. “A joy to read!” (RT Book Reviews).   As the newly appointed commissioner, Philippe Duhet has the power of life and death over the local French aristocracy. In return for her family’s safe passage out of the country, the breathtakingly lovely Claire Devereux agrees to be his mistress. She is to live in his luxurious quarters, to be seen with him about town, and to accommodate his desires whenever he wishes.   Claire surrendered her body to Duhet, but swore he’d never break her spirit. What she didn’t know was that the real Duhet had been abducted, and his American twin brother, Adam Dillon, was installed in his place as a spy. And she was devastated to find that her body was not at all immune to the pleasures of Duhet’s caress, nor her heart to his intoxicating company.   “I consider Elizabeth Thornton a major find.” —Mary Balogh, New York Times–bestselling author of the Westcott Novels
