Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He is a modern gentleman. She is Some Fine Woman and is rather an old-fashioned one at that, not at all "that kind of girl." Jim Bennett tries to change Dolly Flynn's mind and update her values to fit with the progressive world he inhabits. But the warnings of the nuns who schooled her have lasted well into middle age for Dolly. In her early sixties, she deflects Jim's attempts to update her conservative mindset. The two meet accidentally in Concord, New Hampshire, just before Christmas. Dolly has fallen in the snow in front of a supermarket. Both are widowed. Jim, who considers himself the neighborhood senior stud, has singular designs about Dolly. He takes her out several times with the goal of bedding her, but each time something happens to prevent it. Dolly looks upon Jim as a gentleman, not realizing his intentions are not the most honorable. Can the intensity of love and intimacy reach past youth and into the twilight years, and just how are middle-aged children supposed to react to their parents' courtship? Join Jim and Dolly as they discover that life and love in a new century are quite different from the memories they cherish and the past they respect. About the Author Romelle Winters is a retired teacher who lives in New Hampshire. Her poor eyesight has caused her to put barbecue sauce on salad and chocolate on leftover scalloped potatoes. "I do have one goal in life: I want to meet Barry Manilow." Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/RomelleWinters
Download or read book A Good Girl written by Johnnie Bernhard and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gracey Reiter confronts a painful past and an intimidating future with the approaching death of her father, Henry Mueller, the self-described “last Mohican” from the chaotic gene pool known as the Walsh-Mueller family. The present holds the answer, and the last opportunity for Gracey to understand her father’s alcoholism, her mother’s infidelity, and her siblings’ version of the truth. The voices of the past give Gracey the courage to find her voice. Using biting humor and gut-level truths for the first time in her life, Gracey walks across the land mines created by a crippling family legacy. Henry’s funeral and the Irish wedding of Therese Mueller, Gracey’s and her husband Mark Mueller’s daughter, coincide by a few weeks and serve as a completion of the family circle. With the closing of one door, and the opening of the future, Gracey finds forgiveness by realizing six generations of the Walsh-Mueller family, saints and sinners, criminals and heroes, the abandoned and the celebrated, are forever family, forever bound by blood and the dreams of an Irish girl, Patricia Walsh Mueller. A Good Girl examines the numbing work of raising children and burying parents through six generations.

Download or read book Hesitant Fire written by Max Jacob and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A serious artist and a literary clown nonpareil, Max Jacob was born in Brittany in 1876 and died in a Nazi prison camp in 1944. His influence on modern French poetry was profound, and his modernist lyrical verse is still widely read. Much of hisøother work is equally exciting and original, but has waited decades for capable translators. Hesitant Fire makes available for the first time in English some of his best prose. The translators, Moishe Black and Maria Green, have succeeded in catching his gift for linguistic innovation, for mimicry and buffoonery often a millimeter away from melancholy. This anthology displays Jacob?s versatility, for he wrote in a dozen styles. The Story of King Kabul the First and Gawain the Kitchen-Boy is a fable populated by Balibridgians and Bouloulabassians. Excerpts from In Defense of Tartufe reveal the poet?s mysticism and aestheticism. Those from The Flowering Plant offer brilliant social analysis behind a mask of the Absurd. Flim-Flam studies such characters as ?The Lawyer Who Meant to Have Two Wives Instead of One? and ?The Unmarried Teacher at the High School in Cherbourg.? The Dullard Prince blends autobiography and fiction. Letters to Mrs. Goldencalf and other imaginary members of the bourgeoisie are taken from The Dark Room. Never before published, ?The Maid? was inspired by a contemporary murder case. Also included here are portions of The Bouchaballe Property, Jacob?s favorite of his own novels; entries from A Traveler?s Notebook; personal letters; and four religious meditations. For many English-language readers, Hesitant Fire will be in introduction to a writer who was an immediate precursor of Surrealism, who was a close friend of Picasso and Apollinaire, who converted to Catholicism but retained an intensely Jewish outlook, and who produced work that is still vivid nearly a half-century after his death.

Download or read book The Love of a Good Woman written by Alice Munro and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In eight stories, a master of the form extends and magnifies her great themes—the vagaries of love, the passion that leads down unexpected paths, the chaos hovering just under the surface of things, and the strange, often comical desires of the human heart. Time stretches out in some of the stories: a man and a woman look back forty years to the summer they met—the summer, as it turns out, that the true nature of their lives was revealed. In others time is telescoped: a young girl finds in the course of an evening that the mother she adores, and whose fluttery sexuality she hopes to emulate, will not sustain her—she must count on herself. Some choices are made—in a will, in a decision to leave home—with irrevocable and surprising consequences. At other times disaster is courted or barely skirted: when a mother has a startling dream about her baby; when a woman, driving her grandchildren to visit the lakeside haunts of her youth, starts a game that could have dangerous consequences. The rich layering that gives Alice Munro's work so strong a sense of life is particularly apparent in the title story, in which the death of a local optometrist brings an entire town into focus—from the preadolescent boys who find his body, to the man who probably killed him, to the woman who must decide what to do about what she might know. Large, moving, profound, these are stories that extend the limits of fiction.
