Sinossi

In Margaret Widdemer's novel, 'Winona of the Camp Fire', readers are transported into a world of adventure and self-discovery as they follow the story of a young girl named Winona who embarks on a journey of friendship, courage, and resilience within the Camp Fire Girls organization. Widdemer's prose is rich in descriptive detail, painting a vivid picture of the natural surroundings and camp activities that Winona experiences. The book is a nostalgic nod to the early 20th century scouting movement, highlighting themes of empowerment and camaraderie among young girls in a time of social change and burgeoning independence. The narrative style is engaging and accessible, making it an enjoyable read for readers of all ages who appreciate a well-crafted tale of personal growth and community bonds. Margaret Widdemer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author known for her contributions to American literature, was inspired to write 'Winona of the Camp Fire' by her own love for nature and her belief in the importance of fostering leadership skills in young women. Her passion for storytelling and commitment to promoting positive values shine through in this heartwarming and uplifting novel. Widdemer's background as a poet and essayist adds depth and lyrical beauty to her prose, enhancing the emotional resonance of the story she tells. I highly recommend 'Winona of the Camp Fire' to readers looking for a captivating and inspiring tale that celebrates friendship, resilience, and the power of community. Margaret Widdemer's novel is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with modern audiences, offering a glimpse into a bygone era while delivering universal themes of personal growth and female empowerment.

Our Mutual Friend

Charles Dickens

Our Mutual Friend, the last novel completed by Charles Dickens, has many plots, twists and turns, from the murky river Thames to the gold and crystal on the tables of ‘Society’. A tale of murder, treachery, jealousy and love, takes us first to a rowing boat on the Thames, where the Hexhams have found a body in the water and are bringing it to shore. We attend the Boffins, a poor naïve couple, who unexpectedly have just become wealthy, after their employer dies and names them in his will. Silas Wegg becomes their ‘literary man’ and John Rokesmith, a mysterious man, becomes their secretary. We meet the Veneerings, new to society, who hold elaborate dinner parties for ‘dear friends’ they’ve never met. Bella and Lizzie, each from different walks of life, find love from unexpected quarters. The Lammles, a society couple, become match makers for their own ulterior motives. Two ne’er do well lawyers, Mortimer Lightwood and Eugene Wrayburn, find themselves caught up in intrigue, and learn how dangerous their work can be. Dickens weaves together some of his most colorful and oft times hilarious characters so cleverly, that even up to the end of the story, surprises are afootProduced by Devin LawerenceEdited by Macc KayProduction executive Avalon GiulianoICON Intern Eden GiulianoMusic By AudioNautix With Their Kind Permission©2020 Eden Garret Giuliano (P) Eden Garret GiulianoGeoffrey Giuliano is the author of over thirty internationally bestselling biographies, including the London Sunday Times bestseller Blackbird: The Life and Times of Paul McCartney and Dark Horse: The Private Life of George Harrison.
