Book Description
A Windy Night is set in 1799, a turning point in the development of British social conscience which will ultimately lead to the Welfare State. The beautiful Lucy Travertine is the heiress daughter of a wealthy London banker who is determined that his grandson shall bear a noble title. She is delighted when a romance of the heart with handsome young Lord Greatjoy flourishes into a proposal, and she succeeds in persuading her father to accept her choice rather than consign her to a marriage of convenience with an elderly Duke. Little does she expect the complex of obstacles, some perilous and some comic, awaiting her at her vast castle on Dorset's south coast before she finds the perfect happiness she expects. Almost immediately upon their arrival, a detachment of marines arrives to impress 20 men into the Navy and Lucy is nearly embroiled in a riot. A separate military detachment and a Customs Officer arrives to investigate claims of brandy smuggling. A Scottish landscaper appears seeking approval of his plan to create major changes on the estate farm. Entirely inexperienced with such responsibilities, Lucy has the character to master every challenge in turn.

Book Description
An insightful and haunting new collection from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Charles Simic Irreverent and sly, observant and keenly imagined, Come Closer and Listen is the latest work from one of our most beloved poets. With his trademark sense of humor, open-hearted empathy, and perceptive vision, Charles Simic roots his poetry in the ordinary world while still taking in the wide sweep of the human experience. From poems pithy, wry, and cutting—“Time—that murderer/that no has caught yet”—to his layered reflections on everything from love to grief to the wonders of nature, from the story of St. Sebastian to that of a couple weeding side by side, Simic’s work continues to reveal to us an unmistakable voice in modern poetry. An innovator in form and a chronicler of both our interior lives and the people we are in the world, Simic remains one of our most important and lasting voices on the page.
