Raising More Hell and Fewer Dahlias by Autumn Stanley Pdf

This book is the first biography of nineteenth-century magazine editor and reformer Charlotte Smith. Based on years of research, and previously untapped sources, it shows both why she should be remembered and why she was forgotten. Her story is quintessentially American: this daughter of Irish immigrants, despite having only a grade-school education and supporting two children alone, became a force to be reckoned with, first in journalism and then in reform. Her first periodical, the Inland Monthly, was doubly rare: edited by a woman but not a women's magazine; and a profitable venture, bringing a large sum when sold.

National treasure Rosalind King, from the original movies. TV Dahlia for thirteen seasons, Caro Hooper. And ex-child star Posy Starling, fresh out of the fame wilderness (and rehab) to take on the Dahlia mantle for the new movie. Each actress has her own interpretation of the character - but this English summer weekend they will have to put aside their differences, as the crimes at Aldermere turns anything but cosy. When fictional death turns into real bodies, can the three Dahlias find the answers to the murders among the fans, the film crew, the family - or even in Lettice's books themselves? ---------- PRAISE FOR THE THREE DAHLIAS 'Dame Agatha would approve' Daily Mail 'The perfect holiday read' Woman and Home 'A wonderful celebration of Golden Age crime. . . a read you can sink into, just like the perfect country house weekend.

Danger Before Dahlias by Aubrey Elle Pdf

Payton’s battle of the bands should mark the end-of-summer celebration and the engagement of her best friends, but finding a dead body in the town square ruins those plans. Madis has the misfortune of finding the councilman’s dead body beside her landscaping truck, but she’s much more unsettled by the fact someone used her shovel to murder him. Randy Gowen leaves a life with more twists and surprises than anyone can expect, but it’s anyone’s guess who could have clocked him in the head with a gardening tool. Ex-wives unhappy about how he spent his money? Rivals competing in the local election? Angry business owners who disliked his decisions on the council? After the only witness to the crime faces similar danger—and death—Madis worries that time is running out to find the killer, especially when a grand gesture of a proposal can’t be delayed again.

Yerma by Federico Garcia Lorca Pdf

Yerma (meaning 'Barren') is one of three tragic plays about peasants and rural life that make up Lorca's 'rural trilogy'. It is possibly Lorca's harshest play following a woman's Herculean struggle against the curse of infertility. The woman's barrenness becomes a metaphor for her marriage in a traditional society that denies women sexual or social equality. Her desperate desire for a child drives her to commit a terrible crime at the end of the play.

The Promenade by Nishtha Kumar Pdf

The Promenade, as the name suggests is all about our journey. It encompasses the sorrows we suffer, the times we smile, the people we meet every day and moments when we genuinely pray. The book is a confluence of different phases we experience in our lives. The poetic narrative of The Promenade doesn't aim to preach but to mirror secrets hidden in the deepest corners of our hearts, which we refuse to talk about in open.

Strangers in the Garden by Andrew Smith Pdf

We all - gardeners or not - appreciate the beauty of familiar garden flowers. But how well do we really know these everyday plants? When do we stop to consider a flower's personality, or to discover the dramatic events that have contributed to its particular identity? What adventures took place as these plants, now part of our daily lives, were transported - often by explorers or botanists who were quirky characters themselves - from their birthplaces in Asia, Africa, or the Americas? Strangers in the Garden, illustrated with over a hundred stunning photographs, prints, and drawings, reveals the characters and personal histories of ten popular flowers - the chrysanthemum, the clematis, the crocus, the dahlia, the geranium, the iris, the lilac, the peony, the rhododendron, and the tulip - by tracking their fascinating journeys from misty peaks, arid valleys, and exotic hillsides to our gardens, decks, and patios.
