This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III "I SHOULD not have considered Guthrie's cult of the Starkey as a wasted devotion if it had broken up his intimacy with Chubbs, as at one time it threatened. Evans and I were near enough to hear the affair, and I was never more sorry in my life than when this quarrel came to nothing. Here is how it happened: "The apostle of light had been playing shuffle-board, and, as she went aft, Chubbs made some laughing observation about her red and perspiring state of collapse. It was not much of an impertinence, but Guthrie turned on him and tongue-lashed him until the silk-merchant was dumb with astonishment. I could hear Evans chuckle as the cattle king's voice thundered out, 'Ain't you 'shamed of yourself, to speak that way of a lady old enough to be your mother? Lord, man! is a woman a horse or a dog that you can't see nothing but her looks? Miss Starkey is a great woman, I tell you; she's doing a noble work, teaching and elevating the people she meets in her travels. There ain't no pride nor selfishness in her. She sees her mission clear, and fulfils it faithful. Look how kind she's been to me, if you want to see what stuff she is made of. She ain't extra good-looking, nor as young as she used to be, but I don't notice that that hinders her being a help to behave decent!' "We shook with suppressed laughter. 'Queer, one-sided flirtation that, ' Evans said. 'I believe the old girl would die of heat apoplexy if she could hear her champion. The eulogy is worse than the offence.' "' Yes, ' I said; 'it would be disconcerting for any spinster to hear such a filial tone employed by her knight.'

Summer by the Sea is a beautiful, heart-warming summer read about sisters, first love and not always getting what we want – but sometimes ending up with exactly what we need. They say there’s always one summer that changes you. For Faith the one summer she can’t forget is when she fell in love as a teenager – only for her sister, Casey, to steal her man. Now, at the request of her beloved ninety-year-old Grandmother, Faith has agreed to a family holiday – at their childhood beach house, where it all began. Faith hasn’t seen her sister in years but is finally ready to forgive and forget, enjoy the sunshine and relive happy memories. What she’s not ready for is meeting Jake Buchanan – the owner of the beach house – or the long-forgotten feelings he ignites in her. Can Faith overcome the hurt of the past, rekindle the close bond she had with Casey and make this summer THE ONE to remember?

Full of tension and heart wrenching feelings that have you biting your lower lip in either frustration or sadness. Have a lump in your throat, a tear in your eye or giggling like a schoolgirl.’ The Book Geek Wears Pajamas

Celebrating 50 years of Tove Jansson's classic, bestselling novel Featured in the BBC 2 Between the Covers Bookclub Special (Eurovision series 2023) 'Distils the essence of summer' Robert Macfarlane 'Magical, life-affirming' Elizabeth Gilbert The Worldwide Classic about a tiny island and larger love. An elderly artist and her six-year-old grand-daughter while away a summer together on a tiny island in the gulf of Finland. As the two learn to adjust to each other's fears, whims and yearnings, a fierce yet understated love emerges - one that encompasses not only the summer inhabitants but the very island itself. Written in a clear, unsentimental style, full of brusque humour, and wisdom, The Summer Book is a profoundly life-affirming story. Tove Jansson captured much of her own life and spirit in the book, which was her favourite of her adult novels. With a foreword by Esther Freud and an afterword by Sophia Jansson (on whom the child 'Sophia' is based) who returns to the island during the pandemic at the point of becoming a grandmother herself. Includes a 15pp epilogue by Tove's niece Sophia Jansson - the inspiration for 'Sophia' - on a personal and moving return to the island. 'Eccentric, funny, wise, full of joys and small adventures. This is a book for life.' Esther Freud 'Tove Jansson was a genius. This is a marvellous, beautiful, wise novel, which is also very funny.' Philip Pullman

It's a hot August Saturday on Nantucket Island. Over the course of the next 24 hours, two lives will be transformed forever. Marguerite Beale, former chef of culinary hot spot Les Parapluies, has been out of the public eye for over a decade. This all changes with a phone call from Marguerite's goddaughter, Renata Knox. Marguerite has not seen Renata since the death of Renata's mother, Candace Harris Knox, fourteen years earlier. And now that Renata is on Nantucket visiting the family of her new fiance, she takes the opportunity, against her father's wishes, to contact Marguerite in hopes of learning the story of her mother's life--and death. But the events of the day spiral hopelessly out of control for both women, and nothing ends up as planned. Welcome to "The Love Season"--a riveting story that takes place in one day and spans decades; a story that embraces the charming, pristine island of Nantucket, as well as Manhattan, Paris and Morocco. Elin Hilderbrand's most ambitious novel to date chronicles the famous couplings of real lives: love and friendship, food and wine, deception and betrayal--and forgiveness and healing. Praise for "The Blue Bistro" ""The Blue Bistro" is a wonderful, wonderful love story, the kind that you read, then recommend to many many friends - and so, I recommend it to you. Highly." -James Patterson, bestselling author of "Beach Road" "A wonderfully poignant behind-the-scenes journey into the world of high-end restaurants, island life, and the inner workings of the human heart. A great summer story." -Lolly Winston, author of "Good Grief" Praise for "Summer People" ""Summer People" is striking not only for the ingenuity of its rivetingplot, but also for the acute sense of character and the finely tuned craftsmanship with which Elin Hilderbrand brings its every nuance to life." -Madison Smartt Bell, author of "The Stone That the Builder Refused" Praise for "Nantucket"" Nights" "What a perfect summer pleasure Elin Hilderbrand provides...mixing the complexities of family life and friendship with suspense, romance, and moonlit Nantucket nights." -Nancy Thayer, author of "Hot Flash Holidays" "Things get more twisted at every turn, with enough lies and betrayals to fuel a whole season of soap operas....Readers will be hooked." -"Publishers Weekly" Praise for the Booksense/NEBA Bestseller "The Beach Club" "Elin Hilderbrand's first novel holds up as a surprisingly touching...work of fiction you're likely to think about weeks after you put it down." -"People "magazine

A successful restaurateur gets a second chance with her childhood sweetheart in this romance classic by a #1 New York Times–bestselling author. With a little determination and a lot of charm, Rosa Capoletti took a run-down pizza joint and turned it into an award-winning restaurant, voted the “best place to propose” three years in a row. For Rosa, though, there has been no real romance since her teenaged love affair with Alexander Montgomery ended without explanation a decade ago. But guess who’s just come back to town? Reunited at the beach house where they first fell in love, Rosa and Alexander discover that the secrets of the past are not what they seem. Now, Rosa searches for happiness with the man who once broke her heart—and learns that in love, as in life, there are second chances. Originally published in 2004. “This is the perfect beach read.” —Debbie Macomber “Wiggs excels at portraying the delicate dynamics among lovers, friends and family members, and her keen awareness of sensory detail ensures that the scents and sounds of Rosa’s kitchen are just as palpable as the heady attraction between the protagonists.” —Publishers Weekly “A delightful summertime story of star-crossed lovers. . . . The romance reader will enjoy Summer by the Sea. It’s made a new fan out of this reviewer.” —BookReporter
