Sinopsis

In 'The Lone Black Cowboy,' Oscar Micheaux weaves a compelling narrative that intertwines the themes of identity, perseverance, and racial discrimination within the American West. Written in the early 20th century, this work serves as a counter-narrative to the prevailing stereotypes of African Americans in Westerns. Micheaux employs a straightforward yet evocative literary style that reflects both the grit of frontier life and the complexities of the black experience. The novel encapsulates the struggles of its protagonists who traverse a landscape marred by prejudice, ultimately striving towards a sense of belonging and dignity. Oscar Micheaux was a trailblazing filmmaker and novelist, known for being one of the first African American filmmakers in the United States. His life experiences—growing up in a racially segregated society and encountering the injustices faced by black people—impart a fierce authenticity to his works. Micheaux's commitment to portraying black narratives in a nuanced and multifaceted manner stems from his desire to challenge societal norms and provide representation for marginalized communities. This book is a must-read for those interested in the intersections of race, culture, and the American West. Micheaux's unapologetic storytelling invites readers to confront historical narratives while exploring the resilience and agency of black characters in a sweeping landscape. 'The Lone Black Cowboy' not only enriches the discourse on American literature but also offers a timeless perspective on the quest for identity and belonging.

    There is more than one way to fight a war...An extraordinary story of grit, love and loss, based on the true history and real experiences of Australian nurses in World War 1. 
      
    'Heart-achingly raw yet filled with the beauty of the human spirit, this novel is a triumph that will linger in the heart and psyche.' Karen Brooks, author of The Good Wife of Bath 
    In 1915, as World War 1 rages in Europe and the numbers of dead and injured continue to grow, Australian nurse, Sister Cora Barker, leaves her home in Australia for England, determined to use her skills for King and country. When she arrives at Harefield House - donated to the Australian Army by its expatriate Australian owners - she helps transform it into a hospital that is also a little piece of home for recuperating Australian soldiers. 
    As the months pass, her mission to save diggers lives becomes more urgent as the darkest months of the war see injured soldiers from the battlefields of France and Belgium flood into Harefield in the thousands. When the hospital sends out a desperate call for help, a quiet young seamstress from the village, Jessie Chester, steps up as a volunteer. At the hospital she meets Private Bert Mott, a recovering Australian soldier, but the looming threat of his return to the Front hangs over them. Could her first love be her first heartbreak? 
    Cora's and Jessie's futures, their hearts and their lives hang in the balance as the never-ending wave of injured and dying soldiers threatens to overwhelm the hospital and the hopes of a nation rest on a knife edge. The nurses war is a war against despair and death, fought with science and love rather than mustard gas and fear - but can they possibly win it? And what will be the cost?
