A special edition from Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of
stunning classics that make perfect gifts or a treat for any book
lover. Featuring beautiful heritage wallpaper patterns from Jane
Austen's own home in Hampshire, these collectable paperback
editions are a must for all Jane Austen fans. Oft-copied but never
bettered, Jane Austen's Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners.
Austen follows the charming but insensitive Emma Woodhouse as she
sets out on an ill-fated career of match-making in the little town
of Highbury. Taking the pretty but dreary Harriet Smith as her
subject, Emma creates misunderstandings and chaos as she tries to
find Harriet a suitor, until she begins to realize it isn't the
lives of others she must try to transform. With original
illustrations by the celebrated Hugh Thomson, this Macmillan
Collector's Library edition also features bonus material by Jane
Austen expert Sophie Reynolds.
1935, Edinburgh: Beautiful Lindsay 'Lindy' Gillian is determined to
look on the bright side in spite of the Depression: she is lucky
enough to have a job working for her stepmother at Murchie's
Provisions, and her family reside in one of the nicer flats in a
nearby tenement block. There is also dear Neil, a young writer from
the same tenement, whom she has known for years. But when handsome
Roderick Connor walks into the shop one day, Lindy's world is
turned upside down. Soon she has a difficult choice to make between
the two men - but once made, will she live to regret it? A new
arrival, unexpected opportunities and war clouds in the shape of
the Spanish Civil War on the horizon all have unforeseen
repercussions, leading to much soul-searching and heartache before
Lindy can hope to find lasting happiness.
After years of schooling on the East Coast, Constance Browning
returns to Oregon and the reservation where she grew up with her
missionary parents. She is accompanied by Thomas Lowell, her best
friend and colleague, and together they embark on a project to
catalogue the native peoples of Oregon for the Bureau of American
Ethnology. But Connie and Tom have another purpose--to prove her
parents are not involved in a secret conspiracy to goad the
oppressed tribes into a doomed war. Connie finds life on the
reservation much bleaker than she remembered, and she is glad to
have Tom by her side. But she also becomes reacquainted with Clint
Singleton, the government agent on whom she had a crush as a girl.
Now that she's back, Clint finally seems interested in her, but
Connie is no longer sure of her feelings. As tensions on the
reservation rise and war looms ever closer, Connie and Tom search
for whoever is truly behind the uprising. With danger unfolding
amid shocking revelations, Connie will also have a revelation of
the heart.
Turning Point It's a new day in America: The United States' new
Democratic president combats hostile political opponents and
right-wing media while tackling the challenges of terrorism, global
warming and a financial crisis. In the midst of the fray of a
charged first term, the president's liberal daughter, Karen, falls
for a decorated Air Force pilot turned Secret Service agent, Capt.
John Rawhide Cunningham who, as the grandson of a conservative,
swing-vote Supreme Court justice, stands at the opposite end of a
vast, ideological chasm. Inspired by his work in the real-life
presidential elections of 2000 and 2004, author Charles A.
Santangelo weaves a tale of love and political intrigue that speaks
to the very core of American values and the integrity of the
political process. Told through a progressive ideological
perspective, Turning Point makes a compelling case that a scant few
with strong values and a willingness to place the nation s interest
above their own can change the course of history. The
political/historical thriller blends the action of a Tom Clancy
tale with sharp political storytelling and a measure of romance.
Pumafish expands the classic elements of a World War Two thriller
into a harrowing exploration of the shadow realm between reality
and insanity, romance and obsession, set against the backdrop of a
brutal Arctic environment. Norwegian scientist Orjan Ulvskog has
been forced into service at the secret Nazi weather station on the
Spitsbergen Archipelago close to the North Pole. Suspecting him as
an enemy collaborator, his Norwegian countrymen refuse to rescue
Orjan after the German surrender in 1945, leaving him abandoned and
isolated as the long polar night descends. Only the memory of his
fateful love for the married Rebekka La Roche, who may have been
murdered as a Jew under the Nazi terror, keeps him from madness and
gives him the strength to survive his ordeal.
