Sinopse

In "Mountain-Laurel and Maidenhair," Louisa May Alcott weaves a rich tapestry of nature and emotional introspection, reflecting her keen understanding of the human experience amidst the beauty of the natural world. The collection of short stories and sketches reveals the interconnection between characters and their surroundings, with a distinctive tone that balances lyrical prose with vibrant imagery. Alcott'Äôs exploration of themes such as love, loss, and personal growth is framed within the context of mid-19th century America, a period marked by burgeoning feminist ideals and a deepening appreciation for the pastoral. Louisa May Alcott, renowned for her seminal work "Little Women," drew heavily from her own life experiences, navigating the challenges of gender expectations and societal norms. Growing up in a progressive household where literature and social reform were passionately discussed, Alcott found her voice in writing. Her deep affinity for nature, fostered during her formative years in Concord, Massachusetts, profoundly influences this collection, as she captures the serenity and turmoil of the human spirit through the lens of the natural landscapes that she cherished. "Mountain-Laurel and Maidenhair" is not only a testament to Alcott's literary prowess but also an invitation to explore the complexities of life through the lens of nature. This collection is ideal for readers interested in exploring the intersection of natural beauty and emotional depth, enriching their understanding of Alcott'Äôs nuanced characters and the challenges they face. It is a delightful read for anyone willing to engage with the tender landscapes Alcott so skillfully creates.

    Captain Ian Bell is a tortured man fighting through grief and guilt over the loss of his sister. Now, three years later, Ian still hunts for her murderer in the dangerous criminal underworld of Edinburgh. Then one night, a young woman narrowly escapes death and lands at his feet...his late sister's best friend, Phoebe Pennington.
    Lady Phoebe Pennington—dreamer and storyteller to her family—is a committed reformer writing articles anonymously for an Edinburgh newspaper. One night, Phoebe descends into the corrupt and seething netherworld known as the Vaults. When she tries to save a street urchin from an assailant, she becomes the target of a violent attack, only to be saved by the one man she has desired for years.
    Ian's attraction to Phoebe is as undeniable as it is unexpected, and she awakens in him passions he thought long dead. Phoebe's blood burns for Ian, but when she learns that he may be implicated in the scandal she is set on exposing, she finds herself torn between love and truth. But fate is taking a hand, for Phoebe is the only one who has seen the face of the killer, and the shadows of evil are closer than they imagine.
