Beschreibung

 
   Charlotte Brontë dazzled the world with some of literature's most vital, richly-drawn characters. She spent her brief but extraordinary life in search of love – and eventually found it with Arthur Bell Nicholls, her father's curate, a reserved yet passionate Irishman. The pair honeymooned in Ireland, though their joy was quenched nine months later when Charlotte died in March 1855. The aura of mystery surrounding the enigmatic author was only to intensify after her death.
Charlotte is the story of two marriages and three lives irrevocably intertwined, told by the woman who went on to wed Brontë's widower. Theirs was a love triangle of devotion and heartache, friendship and deception, passion and obsession.
Martina Devlin's enthralling novel re-envisions Charlotte's pivotal time in Ireland, weaving back and forth through the novelist's life and afterlife. It reflects upon the myths built up by those who knew her, those who thought they did, and those who longed to.
   

 'I was utterly enthralled by this fictional rendering of Charlotte Brontë's life—and its aftermath—as viewed through the eyes of her husband's second wife. This is a powerful and compelling novel that expertly imagines the lives and times of those closest to Brontë, and captivates the reader with its cleverness and eloquence.' Mary Costello


   

 'In   Charlotte  , the raw gold of Charlotte Brontë's marriage to Arthur Nicholls has been wrought in a wonderful artefact; this is a beautiful novel full of mystery, intrigue and story.' Carlo Gébler

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    "The Unnamable" is a horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in September 1923, first published in the July 1925 issue of Weird Tales, and first collected in Beyond the Wall of Sleep in 1943. 
    Carter, a weird fiction writer (likely Randolph Carter who features in some of Lovecraft's other tales such as "The Statement of Randolph Carter") meets with his close friend, Joel Manton, in a cemetery near an old, dilapidated house on Meadow Hill in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. As the two sit upon a weathered tomb, Carter tells Manton the tale of an indescribable entity that allegedly haunts the house and surrounding area. He contends that because such an entity cannot be perceived by the five senses, it becomes impossible to quantify and accurately describe, thus earning itself the term unnamable. 
    As the narration closes, this unnamable presence attacks both Carter and Manton. Both men survive and awaken later at St. Mary's hospital. They suffer from various lacerations, including scarring from a large horn-shaped object and bruises in the shape of hoof-prints on their backs.

    Two women. Two revolutions. A lifetime of exile and longing.
    In 1978, seventeen-year-old Omid is forced to flee Iran on the eve of the Islamic Revolution, leaving behind a mother whose defiance against the regime has made her a marked woman. Arriving in America, Omid believes her stay will be temporary. But when her mother is declared a fugitive, her dreams of return collapse, and she is left to build a life in exile—one shaped by loss, resilience, and the echoes of a past she cannot escape.
    Three decades later, Omid is a mother raising her daughters in Connecticut, trying to bury the memories of the country she once called home. But when her eldest daughter, Sayeh, is arrested in Tehran amid a new wave of protests, Omid's past and present collide. As Sayeh disappears into the underground resistance, Omid is thrust into the same fear and defiance that once defined her own youth.
     
    Spanning two generations of women bound by revolution and exile, Tehran's Daughters is a powerful story of resistance, identity, and the unbreakable ties between mothers and daughters.

    Dominatrix Renee Lane and her submissive husband live in Memphis, Tennessee, disguised as an average married couple. In private life, they are mistress and slave. For the last ten years, Ms. Renee has employed erotic S&M, mind control, and brainwashing techniques to forge an intimate and loving bond with her submissive partner. They consider themselves explorers of the boundaries of consensual female domination. 
    Ms. Renee's intense and radical approach to their relationship will challenge the reader who merely dabbles in BDSM. The book collects e-mails from Renee and a close friend, plus Butler's journal detailing his deepening submission. We follow the story as Renee continually challenges him to give up control and abandon his own agency. All the while she urged on by her lover and confidant, Heather, who acts as both observer and accomplice to his total enslavement. 
    Make no mistake, this is a love story. One of unrelenting faith, trust, and devotion, and a couple's willingness to cross boundaries and take things to the limit together. Mind-bendingly erotic, and heart-wrenchingly romantic. It answers misconceptions about BDSM and Total Power Exchange in popular media. 
    This 11-hour audiobook, narrated by Penelope Walters, Ryan Smith, and Maggie Davidson, brings to life the raw emotions and complex dynamics of this unique relationship. Through intimate emails and journal entries, listeners are drawn into a world that challenges conventional notions of love and commitment. 
    Finding Love Through Female Domination offers a thoughtful, intense exploration of a lifestyle that's often misunderstood. It presents a nuanced view of power exchange in relationships, showcasing how such dynamics can foster deep emotional connections. 
    This audiobook is for mature audiences interested in exploring the complexities of love and relationships.
