FREE - In the Company of Secrets (Postcards from Pullman Book #1) by Judith Miller

  • Print Length: 386 pages
  • Publisher: Bethany House Publishers (April 1, 2007)



Spoiler:
The truth could cost her everything....

Olivia Mott didn't intend to lie. Somehow, it just happened. And wasn't it all Lady Charlotte's fault anyway?

Now Olivia's position as assistant chef at Pullman's elegant Hotel Florence is dependant upon her keeping her secrets. And sometimes lies have a way of leading to other lies. Should Olivia admit her real past and accept the consequences or keep quiet in order to preserve her comfortable new circumstances?

Deception seems to be part of everyday life in the company town of Pullman, Illinois, where the grand Pullman Palace Car is manufactured. Samuel Howard, Olivia's friend and the town manager, seems to think everything is fine, but Olivia observes something quite different. Could it be that Olivia is not the only one harboring secrets?

Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods."

Dear Thief by Samantha Harvey. 99 cents

Amazon US
Kobo
Nook

From acclaimed Orange Prize and Guardian First Book Award finalist Samantha Harvey, a stunning novel of female friendship, betrayal, and revenge

"You were going to work your way into my marriage and you were going to call its new three-way shape holy," writes the unnamed narrator of Dear Thief.

The thief is Nina, or Butterfly, who disappeared eighteen years earlier and who is being summoned by this letter, this bomb, these recollections, revisions, accusations, and confessions.

"Sometimes I imagine, out of sheer playfulness, that I am writing this as a kind of defence for having murdered and buried you under the patio."

Dear Thief is a letter to an old friend, a song, a jewel, and a continuously surprising triangular love story. Samantha Harvey writes with a dazzling blend of fury and beauty about the need for human connection and the brutal vulnerability that need exposes.

"While I write my spare hand might be doing anything for all you know; it might be driving a pin into your voodoo stomach."

Dear Thief is a rare novel that traverses the human heart in a striking and indelible way.

The London Train by Tessa Hadley $1.99

Amazon US
Kobo
Nook

Unsettled by the recent death of his mother, Paul sets out in search of Pia, his daughter from his first marriage, who has disappeared into the labyrinth of London. Discovering her pregnant and living illegally in a run-down council flat with a pair of Polish siblings, Paul is entranced by Pia’s excitement at living on the edge. Abandoning his second wife and their children in Wales, he joins her to begin a new life in the heart of London.

Cora, meanwhile, is running in the opposite direction, back to Cardiff, to the house she has inherited from her parents. She is escaping her marriage, and the constrictions and disappointments of her life in London. But there is a deeper reason why she cannot stay with her decent Civil Service husband—the aftershocks of which she hasn’t fully come to terms with herself.

Connecting both stories is the London train, and a chance meeting that will have immediate and far-reaching consequences for both Paul and Cora.

The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgeralds

is $1.99 at Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Great-Gatsby-F...e+great+gatsby

Below is the blurb:
The exemplary novel of the Jazz Age, F. Scott Fitzgeralds' third book, The Great Gatsby (1925), stands as the supreme achievement of his career. T. S. Eliot read it three times and saw it as the "first step" American fiction had taken since Henry James; H. L. Mencken praised "the charm and beauty of the writing," as well as Fitzgerald's sharp social sense; and Thomas Wolfe hailed it as Fitzgerald's "best work" thus far. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when, The New York Times remarked, "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s that resonates with the power of myth. A novel of lyrical beauty yet brutal realism, of magic, romance, and mysticism, The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature.

Some high-quality low-cost literary & international fiction bargains which are couponable @ Kobo, if you were wondering what you might want to use that unlimited 50% off weekend promo code upon.

@ $1.99 each from Steerforth Press' Pushkin & Archipelago imprints, which do new translations of classic & modern foreign fiction, respectively.
  • Harlequin's Millions by the late Bohumil Hrabal (Wikipedia), considered to be one of the best Czech writers of the 20th century, some sort of literary novel about eccentric elderly characters
  • Gate of the Sun by prominent Lebanese author Elias Khoury (Wikipedia), 1st in his sweeping historical saga about 1940s Palestine
Algonquin Press also has $1.99 sale selections both fiction and non, some by acclaimed contemporary literary fiction novelists: linkage for the lot here.

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is apparently couponable in Canada, and at the $2.99 mark, have a handful of literary novels on sale as well: linkage for the lot, filtered under the Fiction & Literature category.

A good collection but not complete however note it has The Rover, his last completed novel, which is often omitted and which Gutenberg US hasn't got.

I had it set for 'O-level' English Literature and it's quite a good Napoleonic Wars sea adventure.

The missing completed novel is (I fudge the title)

Slightly better set out and a better TOC and including all 19 novels (* even the rare unfinished novel SUSPENSE, not available anywhere else as a digital book) is
