Sinopse

In 'Stinging Nettles' by Marjorie Bowen, readers are transported to the turbulent world of Victorian England, where the main character, Emily, must navigate through societal expectations and personal struggles. Bowen's unique literary style combines elements of gothic fiction with social realism, creating a compelling narrative that delves into the complexities of class, gender, and power dynamics of the time period. The vivid descriptions and character-driven plot make this book a captivating read for those interested in historical fiction and feminist literature. The themes of secrets, betrayal, and redemption are masterfully woven into the story, leaving readers eager to uncover the truth behind Emily's mysterious past. Marjorie Bowen, known for her prolific output of over 150 novels under various pen names, brings a wealth of historical knowledge and literary prowess to 'Stinging Nettles'. Her keen understanding of the social mores and intricacies of Victorian society shines through in her vivid portrayal of the protagonist's struggles and triumphs. Bowen's own experiences as a woman living in a patriarchal society may have influenced her exploration of feminist themes in the novel, adding depth and authenticity to the narrative. I highly recommend 'Stinging Nettles' to readers who enjoy historical fiction with a strong female lead and a thought-provoking storyline. Marjorie Bowen's masterful storytelling and intricate character development will keep you engrossed from the first page to the last, making this novel a must-read for fans of Victorian literature and feminist fiction.

    Jenn Alexander introduces listeners to a different kind of romance—think Buffy the Vampire Slayer in a coffee shop with lesbians, vampires, and a wide selection of coffinated beverages.Still reeling from the unexpected loss of her parents, Edie McLean doesn't have time to grieve. She's the fourth-generation owner of the McLean Family Coffee Shop, her family's legacy. Unfortunately, this legacy is littered with decades worth of bad business, regrettable purchases, and massive debt. The McLean family motto was always that "good coffee is in our blood," but the shop has become an eyesore and its small, loyal customer base isn't enough to keep it afloat—and if Edie doesn't find a way to turn business around quickly, the family's legacy will end with her.As Edie tries to pull all the pieces of her life together, she finds herself drawn to an alluring night-shift nurse who stops by for coffee every evening after sunset, while contending with a quirky new roommate who sleeps in an honest-to-God coffin. When all three worlds collide spectacularly, Edie's eyes are opened to a new and untapped market that just may be the key to saving her family's coffee shop. However, when her Draculattes and Cold Blood Cold Brews begin to raise more alarm than sales, suddenly the stakes involved appear to be of the wooden variety.

    A classic work of experimental poetry by a titan of modernist literatureTender Buttons, Stein’s first published work of poetry, debuted in 1914 as a volume of powerful avant-garde expression. This meditation on ordinary living is presented in three compelling sections—“Objects,” “Food,” and “Rooms”—through which Stein delights in experiments with language. Emphasizing rhythm and sonority over traditional grammar, Stein’s wordplay has garnered praise from readers and critics alike. In “A Piece of Coffee,” for example, Stein plays with conventional language and cubist imagery to produce a stunningly original literary effect:A single image is not splendor. Dirty is yellow. A sign of more is not mentioned. A piece of coffee is not a detainer. The resemblance to yellow is dirtier and distincter. The clean mixture is whiter and not coal color, never more coal color than altogether.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
