Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. On her fortieth birthday, Madame Wu carries out a decision she has been planning for a long time: she tells her husband that after twenty-four years their physical life together is now over and she wishes him to take a second wife. The House of Wu, one of the oldest and most revered in China, is thrown into an uproar by her decision, but Madame Wu will not be dissuaded and arranges for a young country girl to come take her place in bed. Elegant and detached, Madame Wu orchestrates this change as she manages everything in the extended household of more than sixty relatives and servants. Alone in her own quarters, she relishes her freedom and reads books she has never been allowed to touch. When her son begins English lessons, she listens, and is soon learning from the foreigner, a free-thinking priest named Brother Andre, who will change her life. Few books raise so many questions about the nature and roles of men and women, about self-discipline and happiness.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Barbara Gordon's groundbreaking memoir tells the extraordinary story of a woman who has it all, or thinks she does: a career as an Emmy-award-winning documentary producer, a man she loves, a world of friends, and a beautiful apartment in Manhattan.But in spite of the pills prescribed by her doctor, a nameless terror disrupting her daily life intensifies until she is besieged by crippling anxiety attacks. A formerly strong, independent, successful woman, Barbara's life becomes a nightmare of paralysis and fear.When Barbara finds herself unable to leave her apartment or walk the streets of New York alone, she decides to take charge of her life. She doesn't want pills, she wants answers. Instead of ending her fears, quitting the medicine leads to the unraveling of what she thought was her perfect life, and Barbara becomes a casualty of a flawed and inept mental health system. I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can is a strikingly honest look at a life gone off the rails. Throughout her journey, Gordon's hope and strength make her an incredible heroine worth rooting for.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. The measurement of manners--as devotees of Anthony Trollope are well aware--can offer readers an amusing course in the vanities and verities of the human heart. Among modern novelists who have taken up the instruments of sophisticated observation, Angela Thrikell stands out as a droll yet sympathetic chronicler of town and country. Her intuitive grasp of the comedy of social relations among the cultivated gentry of 20th-century Britain, and the elegantly entertaining manner in which she translates her intuitions to the page, has won her a legion of dedicated and well-deserved admirers.O, These Men, These Men! first published in 1935 and long out of print, is one of Angela Thirkell's few non-Barsetshire novels. Believed to be something of a roman-a-clef, it deftly chronicles the sorrows and renewals, the heartbreak and graduation of happiness in the life of a refined young woman who has weathered the end of an ill-starred marriage.

We all love a beadtime story and here we have a philosophical meditation wrapped in the simple clothes of a journey across Europe to Bethlehem.

Elisabet has been taken back through time and right across Europe to Palestine, to see the Holy Family in Bethlehem. Two thousand years of history flash by, and angels, shepherds and wise men join her on her joyful pilgrimage. It is Joachim who, through the Advent calendar, makes it possible for her to come home.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. In this mid-century installment of her much-loved modern Barsetshire chronicles, Angela Thirkell weaves two colorful strands into the fabric of a charming plot. The first continues her narrative of the social a romantic entanglements of the generations in her fictional stretch of English countryside, which, as the novel opens, has been cast into mourning by the death of King George VI.Soon enough, however, local gossip takes center stage, and other pieces of news, the appointment of a new Rector, "Tubby" Fewling from Northbridge, and the return to the vicinity of the beautiful Rose Fairweather ("A better antidote to true grief for a departed king could not have been imagined") begin to occupy the minds (and tongues!) of denizens. The second strand of this captivating novel is nothing less than a Barsetshire fairy tale. It begins when Canon Fewling meets, among his new parishioners, Margot Phelps, the impoverished spinster daughter of a retired admiral. Led by Rose Fairweather, the women of the community take it upon themselves to treat Margot to a make-over. It begins with hair and clothes and ends with her self-confidence that leads everyone to see her in a new light. Like Cinderella, Margot Phelps is transformed, and all her fortunes, from the romantic to the financial to even the literary, are happily enhanced.

Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Simone Weil (1909-1943) was a teacher, classical scholar, philosopher, political activist and seeker of the truth. She confronted the rootlessness of modern life and the death of the spirit in an age of materialism. Her writing was visionary and her vision, radical.Born in France, a contemporary of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, Weil inspired T.S. Eliot to say of her, We must simply expose ourselves to the personality of a woman of genius, of a kind of genius akin to that of a saint. Today, nearly sixty years after her death, her work has, perhaps, an even greater immediacy and relevance. This book is a collection of the best of her writings from The Notebooks of Simone Weil, Oppression and Liberty and Gravity and Grace.
