Summary

IL libro "NONNO OLIVER A CASA VERDIANA" apre al lettore un mondo molto vicino alle famiglie Inglesi, Italiane e di tutto il mondo civile, cioè quello relativo alle Case di Riposo per persone della terza età cosiddette AUTOSUFFICIENTI,ma che spesso per muoversi utlizzano un carrello deambulatore. Sono presenti aspetti della vita quotidiana, delle amicizie e delle relazioni tra loro, con le Suore che gestiscono Casa Verdiana, con i medici, gli operatori civili e i loro famigliari. Quest'ultimi sono fondamentali per la loro salute fisica e mentale, perché con il loro affetto e le loro visite hanno l'effetto paragonabile a quello ottenuto con le terapie mediche e con una buona assistenza materiale, fisica e spirituale. Riflette la società Inglese, Italiana e di altre nazioni del mondo, perché le persone ospitate sono per la maggior parte donne, che vivono più a lungo degli uomini. Iniziano ad essere presenti anche stranieri come NONNO OLIVER, segno che la società italiana è sempre più internazionale e multirazziale.

As one of the most popular Sherlock Holmes stories, "Silver Blaze" focuses on the disappearance of the famous winning race horse Silver Blaze on the eve of an important race and on the apparent murder of its trainer. The tale is distinguished by its atmospheric Dartmoor setting and late-Victorian sporting milieu. The plotting hinges on the "curious incident of the dog in the night-time"

    The daughter of a wealthy bandit, Sophia Dawson once lost herself in the arms of Black Hawk, the most infamous pirate ever to command the high seas.

    Praise for Alexandra Benedict’s Too Great a Temptation 
     
    “Benedict has not only picked a fresh setting for her historical, she's brought considerable chemistry to the romance . . . Supporting turns by the Hawkins brothers are keen and comical, and dialogue is both snappy and strong. Fans of historical romance will thoroughly enjoy this fresh take on the genre.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    Topsy-Turvy… or Right-Side Up? 
    Green Acres newcomer Chelsea Riehl is annoyed. After all, she signed on as an event planner, not to pit plums alongside the mission-minded hippie Keanan Welsh, the only other single on the farm. 
    Discouraged by Chelsea’s lack of spiritual depth, Keanan is confused when she offers to arrange meals for the church Alpha program he is co-hosting. Maybe he misjudged her, after all. 
    When fake it ’til you make it gives way to a leap of faith, both Chelsea and Keanan have some soul-searching to do. Will getting on the same page spiritually be enough to flip their budding romance right-side up?
