Book Description
Hidden in an attic, tucked under the eaves, is a dusty box containing a treasure more precious than gold… Every year, Sarah Campbell throws an annual spring cleaning party. These days, she recruits some of her grandkids to get the job done. She knows to expect joking, teasing, friendly shenanigans, and not a little laughter from her family. This year’s crew doesn’t disappoint - with Colin, Easton, and Sadie helping, there’s never a dull moment. But in the middle of cleaning, Colin stumbles across an old chest in the attic, a chest that contains a box of letters thought to have been lost decades earlier. The housework screeches to a halt as she and her husband, Owen, surrounded by family, explore the memories contained within the wooden box. Spanning more than a decade, the correspondence tells the story of the early years of their marriage, commemorating the events that pepper a relationship through time - births, deaths, losses, joys, arguments, frustrations… and, most of all, love. Letters from Owen is a bonus, standalone novella. While it can be read at any point, to avoid spoilers, it’s probably best to read it after Burning Springs.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
This new, select edition of Wilfred Owen's letters provides a fresh understanding of the poet's life in his own words. Wilfred Owen's fame as one of the great war poets of the twentieth century is unsurpassed, with Dulce et Decorum est possibly the defining piece of World War literature. Owen's letters reveal the man behind the cultural icon; human with all his foibles, whose 25 years were marked by great highs and lows, by emerging modernity, and the violence of war. Evocative, lyrical, and often surprisingly funny, the letters act as both autobiography and companion to the famous war poems. He was both an accomplished poet and one of the finest letter-writers of the twentieth century. Accompanied by new notes and new introduction, as well as previously redacted and omitted material, the new edition of Owen's Selected Letters brings together past and contemporary scholarship to provide fresh insights into Owen's character and poetic development.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
A bold and unabashed guide to finding your voice, harnessing your true desires, and leading the life you really want. Women are tired of worrying that they are being "too loud" if they speak up and say what they believe, want, or need, and are ready to feel their power and make themselves heard. A certified life coach and author of the bestseller How to Stop Feeling Like Shit, Andrea Owen knows that this is absolutely attainable if women can channel their righteous anger and desire. But she also knows that they'll need to disrupt a status quo in which women have been conditioned and socialized to remain on the sidelines and to put others before themselves. With all of the expertise of a veteran feminist and hell-raiser, and the relatability of a dear friend, Make Some Noise will push women to step outside of rigid societal expectations and show them how to take back control of their lives, and make them all their own. In Make Some Noise, Owen deconstructs common behavior patterns that sabotage our power as women, and instead suggests new behaviors for creating a life that truly serves our desires and needs. From unlearning the notion that women should stay quiet and take up little space to trusting your inner wisdom, Make Some Noise is a raw and honest guidebook, and, ultimately, a call to arms.

Praise for Ruth Ware’s instant New York Times, USA TODAY, and Los Angeles Times bestseller: “So many questions....Until the very last page! Needless to say, I could not put this book down!” —Reese Witherspoon “Once again the author of The Woman in Cabin 10 delivers mega-chills.” —People “Missing Big Little Lies? Dig into this psychological thriller about whether you can really trust your nearest and dearest.” —Cosmopolitan From the instant New York Times bestselling author of blockbuster thrillers In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10 comes a chilling new novel of friendship, secrets, and the dangerous games teenaged girls play. On a cool June morning, a woman is walking her dog in the idyllic coastal village of Salten, along a tidal estuary known as the Reach. Before she can stop him, the dog charges into the water to retrieve what first appears to be a wayward stick, but to her horror, turns out to be something much more sinister… The next morning, three women in and around London—Fatima, Thea, and Isa—receive the text they had always hoped would never come, from the fourth in their formerly inseparable clique, Kate, that says only, “I need you.” The four girls were best friends at Salten, a second-rate boarding school set near the cliffs of the English Channel. Each different in their own way, the four became inseparable and were notorious for playing the Lying Game, telling lies at every turn to both fellow boarders and faculty. But their little game had consequences, and as the four converge in present-day Salten, they realize their shared past was not as safely buried as they had once hoped… Atmospheric, twisty, and with just the right amount of chill to keep you wrong-footed, The Lying Game is told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspenseful style, lending itself to becoming another unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.

The Complete Novels of Anthony Trollope is a comprehensive collection of the works of one of the Victorian era's most prolific and esteemed authors. Trollope's writing is known for its keen observations of society, politics, and human relationships, often presented with subtle humor and wit. His novels, including 'The Warden', 'Barchester Towers', and 'The Last Chronicle of Barset', provide a rich tapestry of characters and settings that capture the complexities of life during the 19th century. Trollope's style is marked by his detailed character development and exploration of moral themes, making his works both entertaining and thought-provoking.
