"'My dear, I don't give a damn.' The pampered daughter of a wealthy Georgian plantation owner, sixteen-year-old Scarlett O'Hara soon realises that young men can't resist her charms, despite her forthright manners and her refusal to embrace her mother's ladylike ways. She enters into an early marriage, but when the war between the Union and the Southern States breaks out and she is left a young widow, Scarlett's life is turned upside down, and she finds herself embroiled, together with the world surrounding her, in a long struggle for survival. Widely considered the great American novel, winning both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer prize, and inspiring the iconic 1939 Oscar-winning film starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, Gone With The Wind's achievements are unparalleled and it remains an enduring classic."

3 Stories About - Women's Sexuality

"There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.From their pens to your your ears. 01 - 3 Stories About - Women's Sexuality02 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield03 - The Giant Wisteria by Charlotte Perkins Gilman04 - The Storm by Kate Chopin"

Wonder Of Women - Haunted House Stories

"Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - Haunted House - An Introduction2 - The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman3 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit4 - The Open Door - Part 1 by Margaret Oliphant5 - The Open Door - Part 2 by Margaret Oliphant6 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman7 - The Ghost in the Clock Room by Hesba Stretton8 - The Ghost at the Rath by Rosa Mulholland9 - The Last of Squire Ennismore by Charlotte Riddell10 - The Villa by Elinor Mordaunt11 - Decay by Marjorie Bowen12 - To Let by B M Croker13 - The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth by Rhoda Broughton14 - The First Evening by Catherine Crowe15 - Man Size In Marble by Edith Nesbit"

Dear Diary - A Short Story Collection

"The diary is that most intimate of journals, of records. Within its pages the writer records and gives expression to their thoughts, their feelings, their emotional state on all the things that make up and surround them in this world. For most people the diary is a way to record the milestones of life; a birthday, a new love, the passing of someone as well as the minutiae of everyday life that seems worth passing into written memory. It may be a daily task, or an occasional flurry of words whenever it's deemed necessary yet, apart from politicians and celebrities, these pages are never really shared. The truth they hold is personal to the writer, and others are not privy to its contents. With authors of the calibre of Bulgakov, Woolf, Tolstoy, Twain and many others this volume explores characters who lives seemed dominated by these diaries, and the events that unfold are both compelling and literary journeys into the very personal and intimate side of their characters' lives. 1 - Dear Diary - A Short Story Collection - An Introduction 2 - Diary of a Lunatic by Leo Tolstoy 3 - The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 4 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain 5 - Eve's Diary by Mark Twain 6 - Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov 7 - The Horror of the Heights by Arthur Conan Doyle 8 - The Legacy by Virginia Woolf 9 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol 10 - The Horla by Guy De Maupassant"

The Top 10 Short Stories - Madness

"Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted 'Top Tens' across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions - Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. In this volume our esteemed authors tackle the difficult subject of madness, its forms of expressions and the usually dark consequences of its nature. Our literary storytellers include Nathaniel Hawthorne, Anatole France, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, H P Lovecraft and many others. What they reveal is both riveting and disturbing. 1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - Madness - An Introduction 2 - The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 3 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol 4 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 1 by Edgar Allan Poe 5 - The Fall of the House of Usher - Part 2 by Edgar Allan Poe 6 - The Mass of Shadows by Anatole France 7 - The Devil In Manuscript by Nathaniel Hawthorne 8 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft 9 - The Call of Cthulhu - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft 10 - Hide And Seek or Pliatki by Fyodor Sologub 11 - Brothers by Sherwood Anderson 12 - A Red Flower by Vsevolod Garshin 13 - Diary of a Lunatic by Leo Tolstoy"

The Wren, The Wren: The Booker Prize-winning author

"Brought to you by Penguin. Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2024. Carmel had been alone all her life. She had been alone since she was twelve years old. The baby knew all this. They looked at each other; one life into another life, and the baby knew exactly how alone her mother had been. Nell - funny, brave and so much loved - is a young woman with adventure on her mind. As she sets out into the world, she finds her family history hard to escape. For her mother, Carmel, Nell's leaving home opens a space in her heart, where the turmoil of a lifetime begins to churn. And across the generations falls the long shadow of Carmel's famous father, an Irish poet of beautiful words and brutal actions. This is a meditation on love: spiritual, romantic, darkly sexual or genetic. A generational saga that traces the inheritance not just of trauma but also of wonder, it is a testament to the glorious resilience of women in the face of promises false and true. Above all, it is an exploration of the love between mother and daughter - sometimes fierce, often painful, but always transcendent. ©2023 Anne Enright (P)2023 Penguin Audio"

The Bakery at Clamshell Bay: A gorgeously uplifting and unforgettable story of love, friendship and

"Where the sea laps the coast at Clamshell Bay in the Pacific Northwest, four women meet in a baking class. They're as different as salt, flour, yeast and water - yet when they combine, the results are as strong and unbreakable as the best friendships. Cleo Duvall is a middle-aged baker who runs the Clamshell Bay Bakery and Café in the pretty tourist town on the Washington State coast, and her cinnamon buns are Instagram-famous. The coffee shop is the heart of the village - neighbors gossip over coffee and pastries, and if you want to know anything about anyone, the café is the place to ask. As a way to share her love for the art and craft of baking, Cleo teaches a weekend class. Her students this time include Brooke Mattson, a former supermodel who dreams of being a mom but is struggling to have a baby; Libby Brown, a proud homemaker whose happy family isn't as perfect as it seems; and Megan Alexander, the local painter who may be free-spirited - or a commitment-phobe. Cleo survived her no-good husband running out on her three years ago with a young neighbor. She lived down the humiliation and is satisfied with a life so predictable she knows exactly how many loaves of French bread to bake on Thursdays. Then a man who looks strangely familiar strolls into her café and upsets the balance of her carefully ordered world. While the four women bond over bread dough, their lives begin to change, too. On the surface, Clamshell Bay is as calm as a sunny day in August, but anyone who's lived by the ocean knows that one good storm can change everything. There are secrets buried in Clamshell Bay, and they are about to be exposed by a tide no one can stop. Treat yourself to a cinnamon bun and lose yourself in the utterly charming world of Clamshell Bay - you won't want to leave. Fans of Firefly Lane, Pamela Kelley and Nancy Thayer will adore the Clamshell Bay series.
