Sinossi

In "Rainbow Valley," L. M. Montgomery continues the beloved story of Anne Shirley and her family, weaving a narrative rich with themes of childhood, community, and the passage of time. Set within the idyllic backdrop of Avonlea, the novel captures the innocence of youth through the lens of the Blythe children and their lively encounters with the new settlers, the Merediths. Montgomery's characteristic lyrical prose and vivid descriptions breathe life into Prince Edward Island's landscapes, intricately exploring the emotional lives of her characters while intertwining humor with poignant moments of personal growth and moral lessons. This installment serves not only as a continuation of Anne's life but also delves into the vibrant community dynamics that shape the children's experiences. L. M. Montgomery, born on November 30, 1874, in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, drew inspiration from her own childhood experiences and the rich tapestry of her local environment. Her personal challenges, including her struggle with isolation and familial duty, influenced her depiction of character relationships and the quest for belonging in "Rainbow Valley." Writing in the early 20th century, Montgomery was attuned to the shifting societal structures and the emergence of rural Canadian identity, themes that resonate throughout her works. Readers of all ages will find "Rainbow Valley" a delightful exploration of friendship, adventure, and the unbreakable bonds of family. This charming novel offers profound insights wrapped in an engaging narrative that invites contemplation on the joys and trials of growing up. Montgomery's timeless storytelling continues to resonate, making this book a must-read for anyone seeking solace and inspiration in the enchanting world of Anne of Green Gables.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
