    Finn Hemingway knows for a fact that she's been born at the wrong time into the wrong family with the wrong talents, making her three dreams for the future almost impossible to attain. 
     
     
     
    She burns to be a trial lawyer in an era when Ruth Bader Ginsburg is being told to type and when a man who is 500th in his law school class is hired over a woman who is first in hers. 
     
     
     
    She yearns to find true love when the family curse dictates that love always ends for the Hemingways, and usually, it ends badly. And finally, she'd give up the first two dreams if she were able to triumph on the third. 
     
     
     
    She longs to have an impact on the only thing that matters to her father: his writing. To accomplish that would require a miracle. All three dreams are almost impossible, but it's the "almost" that keeps Finn going. 
     
     
     
    Ernest Hemingway had three sons but ached to have a daughter. This is her story.

    The Modern Age is one of information overload.  Bombarded, surrounded, and battered by facts, figures, opinions and seemingly whatever else comes out of anyone’s head from all directions at all hours of the day and night.  It’s exhausting. 
     
    However, in this volume we go back a little way to when social media was an actual chat on the street corner or a dinner party, when breaking news was tomorrow’s newspaper or something momentous when a TV or radio programme could be interrupted with the outbreak of war or the death of a leader or sovereign. 
     
    In the pens of such luminaries as Henry James, E M Delafield, C E Montague, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and many others we connect with old fashioned media from publishing and advertising to telegrams and radio and everything in between in ways that are surprising, enlightening but always entertaining.

    For readers of Elmore Leonard and George Pelecanos, a tense crime novel set in mob-filled Chicago during the 1920s Prohibition
    		 
    It’s 1920 and the start of Prohibition. Circumstances beyond his control find a young man, Huckabee Waller, involved in the death of a gangster in his hometown of New Orleans. Fearing repercussions from the gangster’s associates, Huck hops a northbound freight and heads for the promise of Chicago.
    		 
    Expecting to make an honest living, he’s surprised to find that he’s arrived at the epicenter of crime, corruption, and commerce. Unable to find legitimate work, he gets mixed up in bare-knuckle fights run by the notorious North Side Gang. Reviving his skills as a club fighter, Huck quickly becomes a crowd favorite and makes enough to get by. When it becomes apparent to him that the gang is also heavily involved in running illegal whiskey, a very profitable enterprise, he’s drawn into their world by the desire for more.
    		 
    As Huck starts running booze across the Canadian border for the North Side Gang and gets tangled up in Chicago’s taxi wars, tensions between them and the South Side Gang flare up, and soon he’s in the crosshairs of enforcer Al Capone. The smart thing to do would be to get out of Chicago — fast — that is if the life he wants to leave behind doesn’t kill him first.

    Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

    Dive into the epic masterpiece Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, a cornerstone of American literature that transcends the tale of a vengeful sea captain and his white whale adversary. From the iconic opening line, "Call me Ishmael," Melville unfolds a narrative rich in adventure, philosophical depth, and a profound exploration of the human condition. 
    Discover a world where every chapter navigates the tumultuous seas of ambition, nature, and the thin line between sanity and madness. Join Ishmael, Captain Ahab, and the crew of the Pequod in a relentless pursuit that is more than a hunt for the legendary Moby Dick—it's an odyssey into the heart of human obsession. 
    Melville's Moby-Dick is not just a novel; it's an experience—a blend of thrilling maritime adventure and introspective wisdom, rendered in language that captivates and challenges the reader. Regarded by William Faulkner and D.H. Lawrence as one of the greatest works ever penned, its enduring allure promises a reading journey that is as vast and deep as the ocean itself. 
    Step aboard the Pequod with Moby-Dick and let Melville's masterpiece take you on a voyage that explores the uncharted waters of the soul.
