Beschreibung

In "The Pilots of Pomona," Robert Leighton crafts a richly textured narrative that interweaves themes of ambition, identity, and the quest for personal redemption. Set against the backdrop of the sprawling California landscape, the novel employs a vivid and immersive prose style, reminiscent of the naturalist tradition, while also punctuating the story with elements of psychological depth and existential inquiry. Through his compelling characters, Leighton examines the complexities of human relationships amidst the turbulent currents of societal change during the early 20th century, rendering a poignant exploration of loss and aspiration. Robert Leighton, a Scottish author and journalist, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the New World and the vivid tapestry of cultures he encountered. These diverse backgrounds fostered a nuanced understanding of the human condition, which is brilliantly reflected in his narrative choices. His career in journalism likely informed his keen eye for detail and ability to represent the psyche of his characters, making "The Pilots of Pomona" not only a literary achievement but also a cultural critique of its time. Fans of literary fiction and those drawn to character-driven storytelling will find "The Pilots of Pomona" to be an enriching read. Leighton's work invites readers to traverse a landscape where dreams collide with reality, making it a timely reflection on the perseverance of the human spirit against the relentless tides of fate.

Could the past be casting a shadow on the present? The malign legacy of the Everley family who called Evergreen home, cannot be ignored.

Gloucestershire, 1813. Miss Mary Lound of Tapley End would be the first to say that she demonstrates more grace with a fishing rod in her hand than she might ever twirling in a ballroom. This was not, however, a problem until her ne'er-do-well brother sold the family estate, leaving Mary and her mother in very straitened circumstances. When the new owner, Sir Rowland Kempsey, takes up residence, Mary decides to direct her energies into recovering her beloved home by catching a husband. 
 
Promisingly Sir Rowland thinks Miss Lound is a breath of fresh air. But with awkward attempts at flirtation, a duplicitous predator at large in the neighbourhood and the emergence of feelings that complicate her pragmatic goal, Mary discovers that landing the man she wants is more difficult than she had anticipated.

Alaskan Explorer Mikhail Amos can count the number of bad decisions he’s made in his life on one hand. But when he’s called out on the cusp of winter to track down and rescue a team of lost botanists in the wilds of Alaska, he can’t say no. It doesn’t matter that every last instinct tells him he won’t get the team out before winter. The scientists on the expedition are someone’s father and brother. Mikhail knows what it’s like to lose both of those, and he’d never wish that loss on another person. 
But as Mikhail soon discovers, the team also happens to include the lead scientist’s daughter, Bryony Whetherby, whose ability to survive in the wilderness and knack for drawing maps intrigue him in a way no woman ever has before. 
But people on the team are carrying secrets, and Mikhail soon isn’t sure what holds the most danger, the encroaching Alaskan winter, the secrets between the members, or lowering the walls he’s built around his heart. Can love survive when survival itself is uncertain? 
From a USA Today bestselling author comes a frontier family saga filled with a rugged explorer, a dangerous journy, and love that heals wounded hearts.
