Book Description
From the bestselling author of The Orphan in the Peacock Shawl Wakefield 1870 On the banks of the River Calder, Meg Taylor struggles to care for her younger siblings and sick mother whilst her father is away working as a boatman on the canals. The slums where they live are rife with disease, and Meg longs for a different life, away from the grinding poverty, but she'll never leave her family. But with the canals slowly dying as trade moves to the railways, and with Meg’s father stubbornly holding onto the past, Meg fears her family’s future is going to get even bleaker. If only there was a way she could save them.... Christian Henderson is tired of the greed of his wealthy family. He sees the poverty around him and wishes he could do more to help the proud working-class people he meets. People like Meg Taylor, whose courage he so admires. From the moment he meets Meg, Christian is captivated – Meg might be poor, but she is proud and spirited! Meg’s dreams of being with a man like Christian are fantasy. How can a lass from the waterfront be with a wealthy man such as he? And worse, if she follows her heart to be with him, what will happen to the family she loves?

'Tis Herself
Author: Maureen O'Hara
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439127689
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
A first-ever revealing and candid look at the life and career of one of Hollywood’s brightest and most beloved stars, Maureen O’Hara. In an acting career of more than seventy years, Hollywood legend Maureen O’Hara came to be known as “the queen of Technicolor” for her fiery red hair and piercing green eyes. She had a reputation as a fiercely independent thinker and champion of causes, particularly those of her beloved homeland, Ireland. In ‘Tis Herself, O’Hara recounts her extraordinary life and proves to be just as strong, sharp, and captivating as any character she played on-screen. O’Hara was brought to Hollywood as a teenager in 1939 by the great Charles Laughton, to whom she was under contract, to costar with him in the classic film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She has appeared in many other classics, including How Green Was My Valley, Rio Grande, The Quiet Man, and Miracle on 34th Street. She recalls intimate memories of working with the actors and directors of Hollywood’s Golden Age, including Laughton, Alfred Hitchcock, Tyrone Power, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, and John Candy. With characteristic frankness, she describes her tense relationship with the mercurial director John Ford, with whom she made five films, and her close lifelong friendship with her frequent costar John Wayne. Successful in her career, O’Hara was less lucky in love until she met aviation pioneer Brigadier General Charles F. Blair, the great love of her life, who died in a mysterious plane crash ten years after their marriage. Candid and revealing, ‘Tis Herself is an autobiography as witty and spirited as its author.

Where Three Roads Meet
Author: John Barth
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0547349114
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
From the National Book Award winner, three linked novellas that “will stretch your mind, challenge your thoughts, and bend your reality” (Charlotte Observer). John Barth, “one of the greatest novelists of our time” (Washington Post Book World) and “the master of experimental fiction” (Details), presents a lively triad of tales that delight in the many possibilities of language and its users. The first novella, “Tell Me,” explores a callow undergraduate’s initiation into the mysteries of sex, death, and the Heroic Cycle. The second, “I’ve Been Told,” traces no less than the history of storytelling and examines innocence and modernity, ignorance and self-consciousness. And the three elderly sisters of “As I Was Saying . . . ” record an oral history of their youthful muse-like services to (and servicing of) a subsequently notorious and now mysteriously vanished novelist. Sexy, humorous, and brimming with Barth’s deep intelligence and playful irreverence, Where Three Roads Meet “employs all of his familiar devices—alliteration, shifts in diction and time, puns—to tease and titillate, while at the same time articulate—obliquely, sadly, angrily, gloriously—a farewell to language and its objects: us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Barth is markedly intelligent about language and often very funny.” —The New York Times “Perhaps the most prodigally gifted comic novelist writing in English today.” —Newsweek
