During the political upheaval of Tudor-era England, the lawyer Matthew Shardlake must decide where his loyalties lie in "one of the best ongoing mystery series" for fans of Hilary Mantel (Christian Science Monitor). LONGLISTED FOR THE SIR WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION Spring, 1549. Two years after the death of Henry VIII, England is sliding into chaos. The nominal king, Edward VI, is eleven years old. His uncle, Edward Seymour, Lord Hertford, rules as Edward's regent and Protector. In the kingdom, radical Protestants are driving the old religion into extinction, while the Protector's prolonged war with Scotland has led to hyperinflation and economic collapse. Rebellion is stirring among the peasantry. Matthew Shardlake has been working as a lawyer in the service of Henry's younger daughter, the lady Elizabeth. The gruesome murder of one of Elizabeth's distant relations, rumored to be politically murdered, draws Shardlake and his companion Nicholas to the lady's summer estate, where a second murder is committed. As the kingdom explodes into rebellion, Nicholas is imprisoned for his loyalty, and Shardlake must decide where his loyalties lie -- with his kingdom, or with his lady?

This book is fiction. The story that inspired it was not. In 1990, a box of very old documents was found on a small farm in the west of Ireland. They had been stored for well over a hundred years and told an incredible story of suffering, of love and of courage. In 1846, a young couple met during the worst days of the Great Irish Famine. The Killing Snows is a way to imagine what led to their meeting and what followed from it.

In 'The Complete Works: Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick & Branwell Brontë,' readers are presented with a breathtaking panorama of nineteenth-century literary artistry. This collection transcends mere anthology, weaving together the distinct yet harmoniously interconnected oeuvres of the Brontë family. With a range that spans from the windswept moors of 'Wuthering Heights' to the subdued, fiery passions of 'Jane Eyre,' and the less traversed but equally compelling works of Anne and Patrick Brontë, alongside Branwell's artistic contributions, the anthology showcases a remarkable diversity of style and theme. Such an assembly underlines the profound impact these authors have had on English literature and the Gothic Romantic genre in particular. The second paragraph delves into the unique literary heritage of the Brontë siblings, shaped amidst the isolation of the Yorkshire moors. Their writings, a product of intense creativity and intellectual discourse within their secluded home, emerged against a backdrop of Victorian constraints and personal tragedies. This collection, therefore, does not merely collate texts; it maps the convergence of individual genius with shared familial and historical influences, underscoring the Brontës' collective role in championing new literary forms and depths of psychological insight. For enthusiasts and scholars alike, 'The Complete Works' offers a singular opportunity to engage with the full spectrum of Brontë genius. It invites a deep, comparative appreciation of how these authors' contrasting approaches to narrative, character, and theme reflect the complexity of human experience. This anthology is not just a comprehensive collection; it is an invitation to explore the rich dialogues between the works of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick, and Branwell Brontë, fostering a deeper understanding of their individual and collective literary achievements.

Hailed by national leaders as politically diverse as former Vice President Al Gore and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Generations has been heralded by reviewers as a brilliant, if somewhat unsettling, reassessment of where America is heading. William Strauss and Neil Howe posit the history of America as a succession of generational biographies, beginning in 1584 and encompassing every-one through the children of today. Their bold theory is that each generation belongs to one of four types, and that these types repeat sequentially in a fixed pattern. The vision of Generations allows us to plot a recurring cycle in American history -- a cycle of spiritual awakenings and secular crises -- from the founding colonists through the present day and well into this millenium. Generations is at once a refreshing historical narrative and a thrilling intuitive leap that reorders not only our history books but also our expectations for the twenty-first century.
