Left impoverished upon the death of her aunt, Emma Watson has no option but to be reunited with her estranged father and siblings. Initially delighted with her new life—including the fashionable society balls to which she now has access—Emma soon realizes that her family harbors many ill feelings, not least those springing from the sisters' hopes—and disappointments—in snaring a husband. So when the eligible and suitably rich Tom Musgrove begins to transfer his affections from her sister Margaret to Emma, the result can only be further sibling rivalry and unrest. A delightful, exquisitely drawn portrait of family life, The Watsons is Jane Austen at her storytelling best. Author of the masterpieces Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Jane Austen (1775–1817) is one of the most beloved novelists of all time.Voir livre

What if love didn't end when presence did? What if the ones we've lost could still see us—still root for us—from somewhere just beyond reach? Sara never expected to become a witness to her own absence. When a slick road and a split second changed everything, she found herself in a soft in-between—close enough to feel the warmth of the life she left behind, but unable to reach through. And so she watches. She watches Ryan grieve in the empty chair at their kitchen table. She watches him retreat from the world, hollowed out by loss, unable to breathe without her. She watches—helpless and aching—as the man she loves tries to survive in a world that no longer makes sense. But grief, she learns, doesn't stay frozen. It shifts. It cracks. It makes unexpected room. A soccer ball kicked back to a little girl in the park. A conversation with a widow who understands. A phone call to a sister he'd let drift away. Small moments. Tiny openings. And slowly, painfully, beautifully—Ryan begins to find his way back to life. Not by forgetting her. But by learning to carry her differently. A View From Here is a story about love that refuses to die, grief that transforms instead of disappears, and the truth that those we've lost haven't abandoned us—they've only changed form. For anyone carrying someone they've lost. For anyone learning that moving forward doesn't mean leaving them behind. A Foresight Story. 8 minutes that might change how you hold grief.Voir livre
