Beschreibung

In "The Shadow Between Them; or, A Blighted Name," Alex McVeigh Mrs. Miller intricately weaves a narrative steeped in the complexities of human relationships and societal mores during the late 19th century. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the ever-persistent shadow of reputation that looms over its characters. Written in a style reminiscent of the psychological realism that characterized the period, the narrative invites readers to delve into the inner worlds of its protagonists while engaging with sharp social commentary that provokes reflection on the conventions of the time. Alex McVeigh Mrs. Miller, a prominent figure in the literary scene of his era, drew upon his own experiences and observations of Victorian society, particularly its rigid social structures and the plight of women. His nuanced understanding of interpersonal dynamics, coupled with a background in journalism, enabled him to craft compelling characters who grapple with the constraints imposed by their environment. Through this novel, Miller not only sought to entertain but also to illuminate the often-overlooked struggles faced by individuals constrained by societal expectations. This novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate literature that blends psychological depth with sharp social critique. Miller's acute observations and rich character development offer profound insights into the human condition, making it a valuable addition to the canon of 19th-century literature. Readers interested in the interplay between personal desire and societal constraints will find this work both thought-provoking and poignant.

    A time-slip fantasy-adventure powered by music that refuses to be bound by time – and an impossible love that defies the tragic fate already determined by history. 
    Crushed with the rejection of joining a world-renowned orchestra, a modern-day cellist finds new hope in an unexpected summons to Scotland. Adeena’s dying grandmother has a gift for her; a lost music score that Adeena performs on the oldest surviving cello ever made in the United Kingdom. 
     As she plays… time transforms. 
     A connection is made through the music to Katharine, another young cellist and composer in Scotland, though the year is 1745. 
    Their connection is cemented by the love of the same man doomed to die after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The magic of a priceless cello connects two souls that share the same heart in all that truly matters to them – love and the maddening drive to compose and to perform.

    Witchbroom is a visionary history of a Caribbean Spanish/French Creole family and an island over four centuries – to 20th-century independence. With an innovative tone and content, its carnival tales of crime and passion are told by the narrator Lavren, who is both male and female. First published in 1992, Witchbroom is a Caribbean classic. The following year it became a BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime, broadcast over eight nights and read by the author. It was shortlisted for a Commonwealth Writers' Prize Best First Book. A pioneering work, it heralded a new generation of modernist Caribbean writers who, like Scott, broke away from a predominantly realist literary tradition; Witchbroom identifies more with magic realism. A richly entertaining and many layered read, its hermaphrodite narrator brings a contemporary flavour to the novel. The title Witchbroom refers to a fungus that attacks cocoa trees, and is also used as a metaphor for the decline of the island's plantocracy.
