VENGEANCE OF A JILTED DRESSMAKER
When Raye Dawkins, a talented dressmaker, is cast aside and forgotten, she doesn’t mend the pieces of her broken heart—she drowns them in the bottle. But with every drink, dark thoughts begin to fester, weaving a sinister thread through her mind. Fueled by vengeance and rage, Raye spirals into a world of debauchery and mayhem, where pain demands repayment and betrayal has a body count. As her past unravels, she stitches together a new identity—one that thrives in recklessness, obsession, and bloodstained retribution. But when vengeance becomes an art form, how far is too far before she loses herself completely?
GI Brides: The Wartime Girls Who Crossed the Atlantic for Love
This “delightful and touching” international bestseller tells the true stories of four British women who married American soldiers after WWII (Daily Mail, UK). American soldiers stationed in the UK came away winning more than just a war, they also won the hearts of young women across Britain. At the end of World War II, more than 70,000 GI brides followed the men they’d married—men they barely knew—to begin a new life in the United States. This volume vividly recounts the stories of four such women as they made America their home. In GI Brides, readers will meet Sylvia Bradley, a loyal, bright-eyed optimist; Rae Brewer, a resourceful, quick-witted tomboy; Margaret Boyle, an English beauty who faced down every challenge; and Gwendolyn Rowe, a brave woman ahead of her time. Though all made the bold choice to leave family and the world they knew, the journey each experienced was unique—ranging from romantic to heartbreaking.
Spain's Forgotten Novelist
Author: Brian J. Dendle
language: en
Publisher: Bucknell University Press
Release Date: 1995
At the turn of the century, Armando Palacio Valdes (1853-1938) enjoyed the reputation of being one of Spain's leading novelists. Widely translated into other languages, he was hailed enthusiastically by such foreign critics as Edmund Gosse and William Dean Howells. In the twentieth century, he was regarded as a "safe" novelist, the paladin of middle-class Catholic virtues. Recently, however, his novels are again attracting interest in Spain. In Spain's Forgotten Novelist, Brian J. Dendle critically examines Palacio Valdes's career and reputation, casting doubt on his benign image and veracity, and establishing that the sales of Palacio Valdes's books in translation were much less than the author claimed.
