Sinopsis

1883–1946
As the child lay huddled in the bed, her face streaked with tears, she listened to the sound of voices from below as neighbours comforted her father. Tomorrow was to be her mother’s funeral and Anne felt very small and frightened. Life was to change immeasurably over the following years from shattered family bonds to the joy and excitement of the Music Hall and falling in love.Over the next decades as the nation battled against a world where loyalties would be tested in two World Wars, Anne would find the strength to move forward, gathering the fragments of her broken family on a journey of resilience and love.

    🎨 Natural dye artist and botanical expert Indigo "Indy" Vatson is hosting a natural dye workshop when the workshop's wealthy sponsor—a ruthless synthetic dye manufacturer—is found dead in her studio, face-down in a vat of her signature madder root dye. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Indy notices the dye bath has been chemically altered and the victim's business contracts contain hidden clauses about color patent theft. With her studio shut down and the dyeing community in turmoil, Indy must extract the truth from this colorful conspiracy. Assisted by her natural dye collective and the handsome forensic chemist analyzing pH levels, Indy uncovers a scheme involving dye formula theft, color patent infringement, and a plot to sabotage natural dyers. From suspicious colorfastness tests that reveal chemical tampering to plant material that doesn't match the growing region, every hue tells a story. But when Indy discovers the victim was systematically stealing ancient dye recipes from indigenous communities to patent them for corporate profit, she realizes the killer is protecting cultural heritage more vibrant than any synthetic color. With the natural dye symposium approaching and the real color thief still stirring the pot, Indy must fix the evidence before her own business bleeds out completely.

    A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
    BOOK 13: Come, bright love of fame, inspire my glowing breast: not thee I will call, who, over swelling tides of blood and tears, dost bear the heroe on to glory, while sighs of millions waft his spreading sails; but thee, fair, gentle maid, whom Mnesis, happy nymph, first on the banks of Hebrus did produce.
