Synopsis

Lie of the Land is a dark, domestic literary thriller set in the Black Country in the Midlands, UK. When Rory and Jemma meet, Rory already has a girlfriend, but that doesn't stop them getting together and, much sooner than Jemma would like, they're buying their first house together in the heart of the grimy Midlands.
'The Rocks' is a run-down, 'doer-upper' and right from the off, Jemma is reluctant and unhappy, far from ready for commitment. But there is something about the house that is both compelling and sinister, and the situation takes a darker turn when a terrible accident happens involving their new next door neighbours, forcing both Jemma and Rory to tackle their inner demons.
Themes of toxic relationships, secrets and deceit are intensified by a judgmental narrative voice which propels the plot to its even darker resolution.

    A Haunting Exploration of the Human Heart and the Price of Sin.
    
    Step back into the rigid, shadow-filled world of 17th-century Puritan Boston with Nathaniel Hawthorne's most celebrated work, The Scarlet Letter. When Hester Prynne is found guilty of adultery, she is sentenced to wear a permanent mark of shame: a vibrant, embroidered "A" upon her chest.
    
    As Hester struggles to build a life of dignity for herself and her daughter, Pearl, she remains bound to two men—one consumed by secret guilt and the other by a thirst for cold-blooded revenge. Hawthorne's masterful prose delves deep into the psychological toll of hidden sin, the hypocrisy of society, and the possibility of ultimate redemption.
    
    This definitive edition presents the quintessential work of American Dark Romanticism. A cornerstone of classic literature, this novel continues to provoke profound questions about morality, law, and the resilience of the human spirit.

    Goudge's singular gift is the depth and insight she brings to her characters. Mary Lindsay is a born and bred Londoner who has enjoyed her city life--a prestigious job, and friends with whom she takes in the city pleasures of theatre, art and music. But fleeting memories of a childhood visit to her father's elderly cousin out in the country are revived with the news that the woman has willed her home, the Laurels, to Mary. She makes an uncharacteristically sudden and life-changing decision to leave London for the country. The gradual unfolding of her understanding of herself, of the now-deceased woman who has bequeathed her home to Mary, and of the people of Appleshaw, all weave together in a most memorable story of love's redemptive power.

    Louisa May Alcott, born on November 29, 1832, was a 19th century American novelist best known as author of the novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys. Raised by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May Alcott and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Nevertheless, her family suffered severe financial difficulties and Alcott worked to help support the family from an early age. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. She was also an aficionado of “blood and thunder tales,” short, sensational stories (like “Lost in a Pyramid, or The Curse of the Mummy) that she could sell to magazines. She found them easier to write than something as detailed as a novel. Early in her career, she sometimes used the pen name A. M. Barnard. She passed from the picture on March 6, 1888.  Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominated (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) Special Makeup FX Artist. Contact Email edwardfrench06@hotmail.com.
