These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: They were no sooner gone but they began to launch out into the praises of Mademoiselle de Chartres, without bounds; they were sensible at length that they had run into excess in her commendation, and so both gave over for that time; but they were obliged the next day to renew the subject, for this new-risen beauty long continued to supply discourse to the whole Court; the Queen herself was lavish in her praise, and showed her particular marks of favour; the Queen-Dauphin made her one of her favourites, and begged her mother to bring her often to her Court; the Princesses, the King's daughters, made her a party in all their diversions; in short, she had the love and admiration of the whole Court, except that of the Duchess of Valentinois: not that this young beauty gave her umbrage; long experience convinced her she had nothing to fear on the part of the King, and she had to great a hatred for the Viscount of Chartres, whom she had endeavoured to bring into her interest by marrying him with one of her daughters, and who had joined himself to the Queen's party, that she could not have the least favourable thought of a person who bore his name, and was a great object of his friendship. ...Madam de Valentinois being jealous of a lady whom he had formerly loved, and whose wit and beauty were capable of lessening her interest, joined herself to the Constable, who was no more desirous than herself that the King should marry a sister of the Duke of Guise; they possessed the deceased King with their sentiments; and though he mortally hated the Duchess of Valentinois, and loved the Queen, he joined his endeavours with theirs to prevent the divorce; but in order to take from the King all thoughts of marrying the Queen my mother, they struck up a marriage between her and the King of Scotland, who had had for his first wife the King's sister, and they did this because it was the easiest to be brought to a conclusion, though they failed in their engagements to the King of England, who was very desirous of marrying her; and that failure wanted but little of occasioning a rupture between the two Crowns: for Henry the Eighth was inconsolable, when he found himself disappointed in his expectations of marrying my mother; and whatever other Princess of France was proposed to him, he always said, nothing could make him amends for her he had been deprived of. ...He frequently went to the Queen-Dauphin's Court, because the Princess of Cleves was often there, and he was very easy in leaving people in the opinion they had of his passion for that Queen; he put so great a value on Madam de Cleves, that he resolved to be rather wanting in giving proofs of his love, than to hazard its being publicly known; he did not so much as speak of it to the Viscount de Chartres, who was his intimate friend, and from whom he concealed nothing; the truth is, he conducted this affair with so much discretion, that nobody suspected he was in love with Madam de Cleves, except the Chevalier de Guise; and she would scarcely have perceived it herself, if the inclination she had for him had not led her into a particular attention to all his actions, but which she was convinced of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel is set in the middle of the 16th century. Madame de Chartres, for many years after the death of her husband, has lived far away from the court, and now came with her daughter to Paris. Mademoiselle de Chartres goes to a jeweler to choose something. There she accidentally meets the Prince of Cleves, the second son of the Duke of Nevers, who falls in love with her at first sight. He wants to know who this young lady is, and the sister of King Henry II, because of the friendship of one of her maids of honor with Madame de Chartres, introduces young beauty at the court the next day, and she causes a general admiration. Seeing that the nobility of the beloved is not inferior to her beauty, Prince of Cleves wants to marry her, but is afraid that the proud Madame de Chartres deems him unworthy of her daughter because he was not the eldest son of the Duke. The Duke of Nevers does not want his son to marry Mademoiselle de Chartres, which hurts Madame de Chartres, thinking her daughter to be an enviable party. The family of another pretender of the hand of a young lady - the Chevalier de Guise - does not want to intermarry, and Madame de Chartres is trying to find her daughter a party, which would have ennobled her over those who considered themselves above her. Her choice falls on the eldest son of the Duke de Montpensier, but because of the intrigues of a longtime mistress of the King Duchesse de Valantinua, her plans suffer crash. The Duke of Nevers suddenly dies, and the Prince of Cleves soon asks for the hand of Mademoiselle de Chartres. Madame de Chartres asked her daughter's opinion and heard that she had no special inclination towards the Prince of Cleves, but respected his dignity so she accepted the proposal; soon, Mademoiselle de Chartres became the princess of Cleves. Being raised in strict rules, she behaves impeccably, and virtue gives her peace and respect. The Prince of Cleves loves his wife, but feels that she does not respond to his passionate love. It clouds his happiness.

Book excerpt: A West Virginia family struggles amid the booms and busts of the Appalachian coal industry in this “powerful, sure-footed, and haunting” novel with echoes of John Steinbeck (New York Times Book Review). Set in present day West Virginia, this debut novel tells the story of a coal mining family—a couple and their four children—living through the latest mining boom and dealing with the mountaintop removal and strip mining that is ruining what is left of their hometown. As the mine turns the mountains “to slag and wastewater,” workers struggle with layoffs and children find adventure in the blasted moonscape craters. Strange as This Weather Has Been follows several members of the family, with a particular focus on fifteen–year–old Bant and her mother, Lace. Working at a motel, Bant becomes involved with a young miner while her mother contemplates joining the fight against the mining companies. As domestic conflicts escalate at home, the children are pushed more and more frequently outside among junk from the floods and felled trees in the hollows—the only nature they have ever known. But Bant has other memories and is as curious and strong–willed as her mother, and ultimately comes to discover the very real threat of destruction that looms as much in the landscape as it does at home.
