Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Evelyn From the windows of the back room I look out on the flank of the big apartment-house that stands on the corner, and little slips of yard, side by side, with fences between. Among them ours has a lost or strayed appearance. Never did an unaspiring, city-bred yard look more homesick and out of place. It has a sun-dial in the middle, circled by a flagged path, and in its corners, sheltered by a few discour aged shrubs, several weather-worn stone ornaments. It suggests a cemetery of small things that had to have correspondingly small tombstones. I hear from Mrs. Bushey, the landlady, that a sculptress once lived on the lower floor and spent three hundred dollars lifting it out of the sphere in which it was born.

Download or read book THE BOOK OF EVELYN written by GERALDINE BONNER and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2023-04-30 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The household gods that have lain four years in storage are grouped round me, showing familiar faces. It’s nice of them not to have changed more, grown up as children do or got older like one’s friends. They don’t harmonize with the furniture—this is an appartement meublé—but I can melt them in with cushions and hangings. It’s going to be very snug and cozy when I get settled. This room—the parlor—is a good shape, an oblong ending in a bulge of bay window. Plenty of sun in the morning—I can have plants. Outside the window is a small tin roof with a list to starboard where rain-water lodges and sparrows come to take fussy excited baths. Across the street stands a row of brownstone fronts, blank-visaged houses with a white curtain in every window. The faces of such houses are like the faces of the people who live in them. They tell you nothing about what’s going on inside. It’s a peculiarity of New York—after living in a house with an expressionless front wall you get an expressionless front wall yourself. From the windows of the back room I look out on the flank of the big apartment-house that stands on the corner, and little slips of yard, side by side, with fences between. Among them ours has a lost or strayed appearance. Never did an unaspiring, city-bred yard look more homesick and out of place. It has a sun-dial in the middle, circled by a flagged path, and in its corners, sheltered by a few discouraged shrubs, several weather-worn stone ornaments. It suggests a cemetery of small things that had to have correspondingly small tombstones. I hear from Mrs. Bushey, the landlady, that a sculptress once lived on the lower floor and spent three hundred dollars lifting it out of the sphere in which it was born. I am going to like it here. I am going to make myself like it, get out of the negative habit into the positive. That’s why I came back from Europe, that a sudden longing for home, for Broadway, and the lights along the Battery, and dear little Diana poised against the sky. Four years of pension tables and third-class railway carriages do not develop the positive habit. I was becoming negative to the point of annihilation. I wanted to be braced by the savage energies of my native city. And also I did want some other society than that of American spinsters and widows. The Europeans must wonder how the land of the free and the home of the brave keeps up its birth-rate— But I digress...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you could write a new ending for yourself? England, 1898. When Evelyn first married the famous novelist William Aubrey, she was dazzled by his brilliance. But their newlywed bliss is brief when William is gripped by writer’s block, and he becomes jealous of Evelyn’s writing talent. When he commits the ultimate betrayal—stealing a draft of her novel and passing it off as his own—Evelyn decides to write her way out of their unhappy marriage. California, 2006. Abigail always wondered about her father, his identity forever lost when her mother unexpectedly died. Or so Abigail thought, until she stumbled upon his photo and a message that her great-great-grandmother was the author Evelyn Aubrey, leading Abigail on a journey to England in search for answers. There, she learns of Evelyn’s shocking disappearance and how London society believed she was murdered. But from what she uncovers about Evelyn, Abigail believes her brilliant great-great-grandmother had another plot up her sleeve. Rich in atmosphere and emotion, The Stolen Book of Evelyn Aubrey tells the story of literary secrets, a family curse and the lengths women will go to take charge of their future.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evelyn's Folly: A Novel HE Scotch express was just starting. It was a bright, ii warm afternoon in September, and the railway sta tion at Euston Square looked more cheerful than usual. There was the usual noise, bustle, and excitement. Cab after cab had driven up, deposited its load of passengers and luggage, and driven away; there was a ringing of bells, and the confused voices of men, porters growing angry as they became busy; and the express from London to Aberdeen was to start at three, and it wanted now but one quarter of an hour. There were not quite so many passengers as usual. Perhaps the saddest group was that composed of five little motherless children dressed in deep mourning, who were ao companied by a careworn, haggard man with a deep crape band round his hat.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evelyn: A Story of the West and the Far East The work is therefore primarily a story of the development of Evelyn's mind and soul, under the devoted tutelage of Allis to, he who is proficient in all lore and arts Of the East as well as master of the subtil ties of love. But the reader will not fail to feel the note Of serious scientific thought to which the narrative is keyed, every page pregnant with purposeful portrayal of the great renaissance of thought and ideals which marked the period of the seventies and eighties in the West and which effected such amarvellous change in the position held by woman in society.
