| sail away shawl: Strangers and Wayfarers Sarah Orne Jewett, 2021-05-21 Featuring eleven short works of fiction, Sarah Orne Jewett’s Strangers and Wayfarers invokes sentiment and nostalgia. The opening story, A Winter Courtship, depicts the budding relationship between a wagon driver, Jefferson Briley, and a passenger, Fanny Tobin. Despite their opposing personalities, Fanny and Jefferson enjoy each other’s company as they transition from coy flirting to seriously considering if their unconventional pairing could function as a long-term relationship. As the winter month melts away in The Town Poor, two ladies ride together in a horse-drawn carriage. As they take in the sight of the countryside, the two friends discuss the difficult winter that their hometown was just starting to overcome. While the inhabitants of this town struggled through the winter, few citizens were forced to overcome more obstacles than 19th century immigrants. This is portrayed in The Luck of the Bogans, which follows a beloved Irish family as they migrate to America. Succeeding the theme of family, Fair Day depicts an elderly woman as she spends the day alone after her son and his family go to the local fair, leaving her time for reflection. Born and raised in South Berwick, Maine, author Sarah Orne Jewett knew the New England area intimately, and translated her familiarity with the region to her masterful descriptive prose featured in each of her works of short fiction. Through carriage rides, lonely days on the farm, and discussions of struggling towns, Strangers and Wayfarers by Sarah Orne Jewett allows readers to explore the country and oceanside of New England. With themes of immigration, romance, family, and nostalgia, Strangers and Wayfarers continues to address relevant sentimentality in modern society, despite its original publication in 1890. This edition of Strangers and Wayfarers by Sarah Orne Jewett features an eye-catching new cover design and is presented in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition is accessible and appealing to contemporary audiences, restoring Strangers and Wayfarers to modern standards while preserving the original tranquility and beauty of Sarah Orne Jewett’s work. |

| sail away shawl: Open a New Window Ethan Mordden, 2002-11-16 In the 1960s, the Broadway musical underwent a revolution. What was once a form of entertainment characterized by sentimental standards, such as Camelot and Hello, Dolly! became one of brilliant and bittersweet masterpieces, such as Cabaret and Fiddler on the Roof. In Open a New Window, Mordden continues his history of the Broadway musical with the decade that bridged the gap between the fanciful shows of the fifties, such as Call Me, Madam, and the sophisticated fare of the seventies, including A Little Night Music and Follies. Here in brilliant detail are the decade and the people that transformed the Broadway musical--from the writer who knows it best. |

| sail away shawl: The Orphan Rescue Anne Dublin, 2010-09-15 The Orphan Rescue is inspired by a story from author Anne Dublin's own family history. Set during the spring of 1937 in the small city of Sosnowiec, Poland, it is the story of twelve-year-old Miriam and her younger brother, David. They live with their grandparents, having lost their own parents to illness and poverty. The family does not have much -- they live together in one room behind the grandfather's shop and often there isn't enough food for the four of them -- but they have each other. Miriam is devastated when her grandparents tell her that they can no longer survive as a family, and that the only solution is for David to go to an orphanage. Leaving her young brother behind with strangers breaks her heart, and Miriam decides to rescue him. When Miriam learns that David is being forced to work in a factory by the unscrupulous orphanage director, she realizes that rescuing him may prove difficult. The Orphan Rescue is a historical novel that resonates with the ongoing tragedy of child poverty and the exploitation of children around the world. It also offers a window onto the history of Jews in Europe pre-Holocaust. All of this in an accessible, entertaining story for young readers. |

| sail away shawl: The Murder of Mary Russell Laurie R. King, 2017-03-28 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Laurie R. King’s Mary Russell–Sherlock Holmes series weaves rich historical detail and provocative themes with intriguing characters and enthralling suspense. Russell and Holmes have become one of modern literature’s most beloved teams. But does this adventure end it all? Mary Russell is used to dark secrets—her own, and those of her famous partner and husband, Sherlock Holmes. Trust is a thing slowly given, but over the course of a decade together, the two have forged an indissoluble bond. And what of the other person to whom Mary Russell has opened her heart: the couple’s longtime housekeeper, Mrs. Hudson? Russell’s faith and affection are suddenly shattered when a man arrives on the doorstep claiming to be Mrs. Hudson’s son. What Samuel Hudson tells Russell cannot possibly be true, yet she believes him—as surely as she believes the threat of the gun in his hand. In a devastating instant, everything changes. And when the scene is discovered—a pool of blood on the floor, the smell of gunpowder in the air—the most shocking revelation of all is that the grim clues point directly to Clara Hudson. Or rather to Clarissa, the woman she was before Baker Street. The key to Russell’s sacrifice lies in Mrs. Hudson’s past. To uncover the truth, a frantic Sherlock Holmes must put aside his anguish and push deep into his housekeeper’s secrets—to a time before her disguise was assumed, before her crimes were buried away. There is death here, and murder, and trust betrayed. And nothing will ever be the same. Praise for The Murder of Mary Russell “Leaping narrative energy has always been a hallmark of this series, and it reaches something of a peak in this latest volume. . . . The lean momentum of the story never falters. . . . It’s a stunning prolonged feat of storytelling, and it succeeds in making The Murder of Mary Russell the best installment so far in an excellent series.”—The Christian Science Monitor “[A] sharp, inventive and rewarding series.”—The Seattle Times “Delightful . . . a triumph of plotting . . . Fans, always hungry to know more personal details about King’s iteration of Sherlock Holmes and his world, will get a few more delicious tidbits this time around.”—Booklist (starred review) |
