No Such Thing as Luck: The only woman John Thornton ever loved has gone to London and forgotten all about him. Aching for what he lost, he doesn't have time to grieve because his cotton mill is on the brink of financial collapse. Margaret Hale has thrown away her only chance at love. She longs for what might have been, and wishes more than anything for one more chance to see John Thornton. When a coincidence brings them back together and an accident forces them to depend upon one another, will they learn the path to true love is more than luck? Northern Rain: Margaret Hale never even considered John Thornton's rash proposal of marriage before rejecting it. Now, she has had time to consider, and to regret. But it's impossible to reconcile when he avoids her at all costs. A chance encounter when he is most in need of a friend might just shatter the misunderstandings that have kept them apart. Is friendship even possible after all they've been through? And when John has to weigh the future of the mill against the hope of a future with Margaret, will love win? Nowhere but North: Haunted by sorrow and regret, Margaret Hale has lost everything. She risks the little she has left on the heart she once shattered—hoping somehow to win back his respect, if not his love. Since he was a boy, John Thornton has fought the consequences of his father’s mistakes. Resolved to overcome past failings and the disdain of the world, he has striven for wealth, respect, and personal honour, but he is denied love. Now, all he had previously gained is slipping away, but he cannot resist a second chance with the woman he once lost. Can the pieces of their broken pasts be enough to build a solid future?
An "ethnographic" novel that portrays life in California's Napa Valley as it might be a very long time from now, imagined not as a high tech future but as a time of people once again living close to the land.
Gertie dreamed about the day when Kelley would pull up to her yard and take her away to some new and exciting place. But before she could do that, something wonderful happened, and she met Willard. She felt captivated by the interest he had taken in her. At last, she was beginning to feel important. She had never felt so special, not since she was a little girl back home with her papa. Not only was she impressed by the dark tan on his arms from hoeing tobacco long hours every day in the blazing sun, but also the masculinity of his form left her dazzled. Indeed, she wanted him to come again.
When her father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the north of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of the local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. This is intensified by her tempestuous relationship with the mill-owner and self-made man, John Thornton, as their fierce opposition over his treatment of his employees masks a deeper attraction. In North and South, Elizabeth Gaskell skillfully fuses individual feeling with social concern, and in Margaret Hale creates one of the most original heroines of Victorian literature.
Morgan's criticism of the British Navy in this novel led to the book's limited distribution.
Based on almost 200 previously unpublished letters and extensive interviews with their closest associates, Walker's biography of Margaret Mitchell and her husband, John Marsh, offers a new look into a devoted marriage and fascinating partnership that ultimately created a Pulitzer Prize–winning novel. This edition of Walker's biography celebrates the seventy-fifth anniversary of the publication of Gone With the Wind in 1936. In lively extracts from their letters to family and friends, John and Margaret, who also went by Peggy, describe the stormy years of their courtship, their bohemian lifestyle as a young married couple, the arduous but fulfilling years when Peggy was writing her famous novel, the thrill of its acceptance for publication and its literary success, and the excitement of the making of the movie. In telling the private side of this twenty-four-year marriage, author Marianne Walker reveals a long-suspected truth: Gone With the Wind might have never been written were it not for John Marsh. He was Peggy's best friend and constant champion, and he became her editor, proofreader, researcher, business manager, and the inspiration and motivation behind her writing. At every point, including the turbulent years of Mitchell's first marriage to Red Upshaw, it was John who provided the intellectual stimulation, emotional support, and editorial insights that allowed Peggy to channel her talents into the creation of her astounding Civil War epic. From years of meticulous research, Marianne Walker details the intimate and moving love story between a husband and wife, and between a writer and her editor.
Margaret Atwood enjoys a unique prominence in Canadian letters. With over thirty books to her credit, in genres ranging from children's writing to dystopic novels, she is as creatively diverse as she is internationally acclaimed. Her success, however, has been double-edged: the very popularity that makes her such a prominent figure in the literary world also renders her vulnerable to claims of being a "sell-out," as she relates in her Empson lectures. The Open Eye negotiates the space between these positions, acknowledging Atwood's remarkable achievement while considering how it impacts on national politics and identity. The range of perspectives in this volume is stimulating and enlightening. The Open Eye begins with a focus on Atwood as she presents herself and is presented in Canada and abroad, and then proceeds to consider, more broadly, the intersection of life and literature that Atwood's works and persona effect. It offers fresh insight into Atwood's early writing, redresses the critical void regarding her poetry and shorter prose pieces, and provides a critical base from which readers can assess Atwood's most recent novels. A common thread throughout these essays is the recognition of Atwood's importance in the literary realm in general, and in Canadian literature more particularly.
