Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Plumbing Why continue to carry water for the house, for the stock or the garden, trudging through the rain and snow, when you can have running water any place you want it on the farm for such a small investment? Did you ever stop to think of the number of tons of water that are carried on the average farm in the course of a year where there is no Modern Water Supply System installed? Just stop a moment and figure the number of bucket fuls of water that you carry from the pump every day, and then figure what this amounts to in the way of hard labor in the course of a year. When this is reduced to actual figures, the result is really startling, and if those folks who continue to carry water day after day could realize how easy it is to eliminate all this unnecessary labor, we feel sure there would not be a farm home in the country without one of these Modern Water Supply Systems.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
The Vet's Daughter combines shocking realism with a visionary edge. The vet lives with his bedridden wife and shy daughter Alice in a sinister London suburb. He works constantly, captive to a strange private fury, and treats his family with brutality and contempt. After his wife's death, the vet takes up with a crass, needling woman who tries to refashion Alice in her own image. And yet as Alice retreats ever deeper into a dream world, she discovers an extraordinary secret power of her own. Harrowing and haunting, like an unexpected cross between Flannery O'Connor and Stephen King, The Vet's Daughter is a story of outraged innocence that culminates in a scene of appalling triumph.
