Book excerpt: The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot Tom and Maggie Tulliver are two children who grew up in Dorlcote Mill, which has been in their family for generations. The children have many extended families living nearby, and their aunts and uncles often come to argue with each other and to scold Tom and Maggie. Tulliver's boys have a stormy relationship. They spend most of their time getting along or arguing horribly. Maggie in particular is very intelligent and very emotional and is always in trouble. Two main things are in the works for the Tullivers: school and a lawsuit. Tom and Maggie are both sent to school and Tom receives an extravagant, if pointless, education. At school he meets a deformed boy named Philip Wakem, son of Mr. Tulliver's archenemy. Mr. Tulliver does not like Mr. Wakem, a lawyer, as he is involved in a lawsuit against one of Wakem's clients. Mr. Tulliver loses the case and things quickly go downhill for the Tulliver family. They fail and Mr. Tulliver's health begins to deteriorate. Mr. Wakem buys the Tulliver family mill, which causes Mr. Tulliver to hate the Wakem even more and to curse them in the family Bible. After the case fails, Tulliver's kids are forced to drop out of school and start working. Tom is a slave to one of his uncles and is obsessed with paying off family debts. Maggie finds solace in an extreme form of religion, but she later sets it aside in favor of a secret friendship with Philip Wakem, who has been in love with Maggie since their first meeting. Maggie's passionate nature continues to cause her a lot of emotional distress. Tom discovers Maggie's relationship with Philip and forbids her to see him again. Maggie is torn, but decides that family loyalty comes first. Her relationship with Tom is severely damaged. Shortly thereafter, Tom manages to pay off his family debts, but the triumph is ruined when Mr. Tulliver attacks Mr. Wakem and then dies shortly thereafter. The Tullivers must get away from the mill. A few years pass and Maggie returns from a period as a governess to be with her cousin Lucy. Tom has made his way into his uncle's business and is now successful. Maggie meets Stephen Guest, Lucy's boyfriend, and the two quickly fall in love. Philip also returns and Maggie is involved in a messy love quadrilateral. Eventually, Stephen and Maggie are unable to control their feelings and the two try to escape. But Maggie has a crisis of conscience and she leaves Stephen, returning home in disgrace. Although Maggie reconciles with those closest to her, she is unable to make amends with the critic Tom. After a period of intense emotional pain for Maggie, the local river floods. Maggie goes to rescue Tom and the two reconcile their differences. But Tom and Maggie drowned in the flood. The other characters survive and move on with their lives and Tom and Maggie are buried together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Laetitia Rodd is a warm and engaging heroine' The Times For readers of The Thursday Murder Club, M.C. Beaton and James Runcie, The Mystery of the Sorrowful Maiden is the charming third mystery in Kate Saunders's series about Laetitia Rodd, the indomitable Victorian lady detective. In the spring of 1853, private detective Laetitia Rodd receives a delicate request from a retired actor, whose days on the stage were ended by a theatre fire ten years before. His great friend, and the man he rescued from the fire, Thomas Transome, has decided to leave his wife, who now needs assistance in securing a worthy settlement. Though Mrs Rodd is reluctant to get involved with the scandalous world of the theatre, she cannot turn away the woman in need. She agrees to take the case. But what starts out as a simple matter of negotiation becomes complicated when a body is discovered in the burnt husk of the old theatre. Soon Mrs Rodd finds herself embroiled in family politics, rivalries that put the Capulets and Montagues to shame, and betrayals on a Shakespearean scale. Mrs Rodd will need all her investigative powers, not to mention her famous discretion, to solve the case before tragedy strikes once more. Praise for the Laetitia Rodd Mystery series: 'A witty, genteel tale of secrets, lies and hidden gold... Enormous fun' The Times 'With a well-crafted plot, an engaging protagonist, and astute nods to the literature and theological squabbles of the period, this is a perfect novel for a summer afternoon' Guardian 'A Dickensian glow pervades this immensely satisfying novel. Hugely enjoyable' James Runcie, author of the 'Grantchester Mysteries' 'Pure delight' Sunday Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Edmund White, a bold and sweeping new novel that traces the extraordinary fates of twin sisters, one destined for Parisian nobility and the other for Catholic sainthood. Yvette and Yvonne Crawford are twin sisters, born on a humble patch of East Texas prairie but bound for far more dramatic and tragic fates. Just as an untold fortune of oil lies beneath their daddy's land, both girls harbor their own secrets and dreams-ones that will carry them far from Texas and from each other. As the decades unfold, Yvonne will ascend the highest ranks of Parisian society as Yvette gives herself to a lifetime of worship and service in the streets of Jericó, Colombia. And yet, even as they remake themselves in their radically different lives, the twins find that the bonds of family and the past are unbreakable. Spanning the 1950s to the recent past, Edmund White's marvelous novel serves up an immensely pleasurable epic of two Texas women as their lives traverse varied worlds: the swaggering opulence of the Dallas nouveau riche, the airless pretension of the Paris gratin, and the strict piety of a Colombian convent. For nearly half a century, Edmund White's work has revitalized American literature, blithely breaking down boundaries of class and sexuality, and A Saint From Texas is one of his most joyous, gorgeously written, and piercing works to date.
