Summary

Theodore Winthrop's novel 'Cecil Dreeme' is a captivating work of fiction that delves into themes of art, identity, and society in mid-19th century New York City. Written in a style reminiscent of the Romantic era, Winthrop's vivid descriptions and emotional depth immerse the reader in the world of the protagonist, an aspiring artist named Robert Byng. The novel's exploration of gender fluidity and personal transformation set it apart from other works of its time, making it a thought-provoking read for those interested in historical fiction and queer literature. Despite its initial controversial reception, 'Cecil Dreeme' remains a significant contribution to American literature. Theodore Winthrop's own experiences as a traveler and writer likely influenced his creation of a character struggling to navigate societal norms and personal desires. Recommended for readers seeking a nuanced portrayal of identity and artistry in 19th century America.

I'm driving her home to the Rockies for her first Christmas—and because I took a boneheaded shortcut, we're stranded in the middle of nowhere. With a blizzard closing in. Fast.

I spend my days with my dog, my horse, and my yaks. I don't do people. Now of all the people in the damn world, he's on my ranch. Stranded with his tiny, helpless baby. I can't abandon them to freeze—even though it means bringing Jake to my cabin to get snowed in. Even though I'll be trapped with the only man I've ever loved.Even though I only have one bed.

    Parker, 
 
 
 
I never meant for any of this to happen, to fall for you. It doesn't matter that we're both adults, or how much we want this to work. The college policy is clear. I can't see a way around this without one of us getting hurt. If I would've known who you were when we met online, I would have never pursued a relationship. I'm new to all of this, and besides my daughter, getting to know you has been the best thing to ever happen to me. But I can't make you hide again. I won't. It's not fair to either of us. 
 
 
 
Deepest regrets, Donovan 
 
 
 
Dear Mr. Brody, 
 
 
 
You're right, we are adults. I'm twenty-four years old, and I think I can decide for myself what's best for me. If this is about you losing your job, I'll walk away. But if this is you trying to protect me, then you're an idiot. I want you. I care about you. My past isn't an issue. What we're doing . . . it isn't the same thing. If we have to hide, so be it. I'm not ready to let you go.

    It’s the nineteen sixties. Life was different then. But Tyneholme, the magnificent, historic home of one of Brisbane’s pioneering families, the well-known Chaseleys, endures. Dickie Chaseley, grandson of the first Chaseley to arrive in Australia, is a respected businessman, and his vivacious wife, Vivienne, is a much-loved patron of a large number of charities. 
  
Circumstances have drastically changed young Laura Dawson’s comfortable and sheltered life and she gratefully accepts what she sees as a lifeline, a job working with Viv Chaseley. Laura moves into Tyneholme and into the unbelievably amazing world of the Chaseleys. Working with Viv gives Laura the confidence she knows she lacks, and it brings new meaning to her previously uninspiring life. 
  
She meets Dickie and Viv’s elder son, Richard, and his lovely wife, Sara, and their younger son, the dark and slightly dangerous, Nicolas. Then the Chaseleys’ only daughter arrives home from the UK. Viv had said she was sure her daughter and Laura would become great friends, but nothing could have prepared Laura for her meeting with the poised, worldly, so very attractive Rosemary Chaseley.
