Summary

Mary Jane Holmes (April 5, 1825 – October 6, 1907)[1] was an American author who published 39 novels, as well as short stories. Her first novel sold 250,000 copies; and she had total sales of 2 million books in her lifetime, second only to Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Portraying domestic life in small-town and rural settings, she examined gender relationships, as well as those of class and race. She also dealt with slavery and the American Civil War with a strong sense of moral justice. Since the late 20th century, she has received fresh recognition and reappraisal, although her popular work was excluded from most 19th-century literary histories.

    Framley Parsonage by Anthony Trollope is a compelling novel of love, ambition, and moral choice in Victorian England. Set in the quiet cathedral city of Barchester, it follows Mark Robarts, a young clergyman navigating the temptations of high society after his appointment to Framley Parsonage. As he becomes entangled in aristocratic circles, political intrigue, and financial misjudgment, his integrity is tested. Meanwhile, a tender romance blossoms between him and Lucy Robarts, while other couples face societal pressures on matters of heart and duty. With keen insight into human nature and social hierarchy, Trollope weaves a story of personal growth, forgiveness, and the enduring value of honesty and faith. A cornerstone of the Chronicles of Barsetshire.

    There’s something seriously wrong with me. 
    For once, I’m not talking about the health anxiety that randomly pops up and wreaks havoc on my life. I'm talking about, well, everything else. 
    All my roommates have found someone to love them, and it hurts to see the guys who used to have me at the center of their worlds pair off and grow up, especially when it’s a reminder of how alone I've always been. I’ve always had an issue with relationships. With forming a connection with people outside of Seven, but this is more. 
    Because I want to find my someone. 
    Except the one person my brain has latched onto is the one person I can never have. The one person who’s there to help me when my panic attacks get too much. 
    Nurse Derek.

    I should never have offered to treat Xander Moore. 
    And now here I am years later, my life on hold, while I wait day in and day out for the call that Xander needs me. It always comes, and I always answer, but I’m starting to dread those visits. 
    Lately, I’m looking at Xander in a way a medical professional should never look at their patient. 
    When Xander starts volunteering at the same nursing home that I do, I get to see a new side of him. The artistic, charismatic side that draws the residents in. I get glimpses of a man who’s so much more than his anxiety, and it does nothing to help my feelings for him. 
    Lines begin to blur and I have no choice but to stop treating him. That at least allows us to be friends. The only problem is, being friends isn’t enough for either of us. 
    It’s wrong, unethical, and unprofessional, but my heart won’t listen. It’s decided on Xander, and it doesn’t want to wait. Neither does Xander. 
    But if I want to keep my job, I have to resist. 
    I just wish he didn’t make that so difficult.

    Gulli Danda is the story of the annals of time that reverberates in our deep consciousness, where both joy and sadness of the bygone days nurture our memories of the time spent well and its association. Humans outgrow their past, but that past remains rooted in their psyche and keeps drawing them back into its fold as their hearts try to reclaim the magical touch of the moments well past. 
    In this story, legendary litterateur Munshi Premchand, with his characteristic empathetic writing skill, weaves together two yesteryear friends from distinctly differing socio-economic backgrounds. The story unfolds like a thought experiment as it probes the bonding of the two primitive hearts through the filter of social status and class standing in the present. Need we say this literary gem is a collector's souvenir as a testament to a prolific writer's contribution to Hindi literature?
