  IBPA Ben Franklin Award Winner- "Like Radium Girls and other books detailing how many died before safe labor practices were adopted, this book is a strong addition to historical fiction of this type. Girl In The Triangle presents the reader with a lot to think about: how do we decide about the right attitudes toward gender disputes? How do we "become" Americans? How do we keep traditions alive? All these questions make Girl In The Triangle an excellent historical fiction novel and choice for book groups." - IBPA Feedback 
  "The conversations among the characters led me to give this book 5 stars. They are raw and eye-opening even as the story buds. The Girl In The Triangle is simply a delight to read and will automatically tick the boxes of fans of historical fiction." - Reader Views 
  "That is what historical fiction does for a reader, a slice of history wrapped up in a compelling story that teaches and makes us reflect on the words and our own lives in the stream of time." - Historical Fiction Press Awards

  Author Edith Wharton is best known for her books set amongst the upper-echelon of New York society, including "The House of Mirth" and "The Age of Innocence," (the latter of which won her the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction).   
  But Wharton also wrote two American classics that take place in rural settings: the then-scandalous tale of youthful rebellion,"Summer" and her haunting novel of love and regret, "Ethan Frome." Both have gone on to be considered among the finest novels of the early 20th century.   
  We are proud to present both of these books in one volume, each in their original and unabridged format.

  One of E.M. Forster's most critically-acclaimed works, "A Passage to India" was chosen by Time Magazine as one of the best "All Time 100 Novels" and it won the 1924 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. Modern Library also lists the book as one of the 100 greatest works of 20th-century English literature.   
  The story - one of Forster's darkest tales - revolves around a trip to India by British schoolmistress Adela Quested and her companion, Mrs. Moore. After meeting with a local physician, Dr. Aziz, the two visitors travel with him on a tour of the famous Marabar Caves. While exploring a dark cave alone, Adela is forced to fend off a mysterious attacker and Dr. Aziz - who became separated from the party - is accused of assault.   
  A brilliant and troubling examination of privilege, racial tension and colonial rule, "A Passage to India" is often cited as Forster's masterpiece. The book has been adapted many times for the stage and screen, most famously for the Oscar-winning 1984 film directed by David Lean and starring Judy Davis, Peggy Ashcroft and Alec Guinness.   
  "A Passage to India" is presented here in its original and unabridged format and has been narrated by renowned audiobook narrator Sara Nichols, who also gave voice to Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's "Prairie Trilogy" and the complete works of Jane Austen.
