Sinossi

In "A Sheaf of Corn," Mary E. Mann presents a rich tapestry of rural life in late 19th-century England, weaving together the complexities of human relationships with the backdrop of agricultural society. The novel employs a lyrical prose style that reflects Mann's keen observations of nature and the subtleties of character interactions. Set against the swiftly changing social landscape of the Victorian era, the narrative deeply explores themes of struggle, resilience, and the bonds that unite communities in times of hardship, while illuminating the roles of both men and women in a transitioning world. Mary E. Mann, a prominent figure in the literary landscape of her time, was steeped in the values and norms of Victorian society, which profoundly influenced her work. As the daughter of a farmer and an advocate for women's education, she often drew upon her own experiences and the realities of rural life to craft stories that resonate with authenticity. Mann's connections with prominent literary circles, alongside her advocacy for social reform, equipped her with a nuanced understanding of the human condition, deftly reflected in her writing. "A Sheaf of Corn" is a compelling invitation for readers to engage with the human experience as articulated by Mann's profound insight. This novel is essential for those interested in the intersection of literature and social commentary, particularly in relation to gender and class dynamics. Readers will find themselves captivated by Mann's vivid storytelling and the enduring relevance of her exploration into our shared humanity.

    The war with the Troka Clan, an Albanian mafia organization, is over. Still, Shy is convinced that the gang’s American partner, Daniel Beason, is responsible for the murder of her friend, Reeva Duckworth. Despite her promise to hang up her guns, and her husband’s pleas for her not to  
    get involved because the Albanians are dangerous, Shy is determined to find Beason and ensure he gets what he deserves. Knowing that the boss’s wife can’t be in the streets unprotected, Shy enlists the help of her lifelong BFF, Ryder, the acting captain of Carter Garrison’s crew. 
     
    Ryder has problems of her own to deal with. She’s involved in an escalating dispute with Rodney Mack, aka Truck, one of Kojo’s top drug lieutenants. Their war of words has pushed the already fragile peace between The Family and Kojo’s organization to its breaking point. In addition to  
    the rising tensions with The Family, Kojo has Detective Marita Bautista and her Strike Team coming hard at him, racking up big bust after big bust. Kojo is sure that Bautista has an informant inside of his organization and sends his lieutenants to find the snitch inside his house. 
     
    With the Albanians on one side and Kojo on the other, all Shy and Ryder have to do is solve Reeva Duckworth’s murder without starting a war in the process.
