Book Description
The celebrated author of The Group offers a “clever, witty, polished” portrait of the 1940s NYC literary bohemia she knew so well in this debut novel (The New York Times). Margaret Sargent is young and fearless, a deep thinker inspired by the bohemian energy that abounds in New York City in the years leading up to the Second World War. With careless abandon, she destroys her marriage and numerous love affairs as she moves through the social circles of artists and writers, playing at the fringes of political extremism. She is an enigma, often wanton and frivolous, but possessing intelligence and a razor-sharp wit, as well as a troubling core of inner darkness, self-doubt, and puzzling tendencies toward self-destruction. For Margaret, urban life in the 1930s is an ongoing adventure—ever-changing, always surprising, and deeply, profoundly unsatisfying. Mary McCarthy, author of the bestselling American classic The Group, burst boldly onto the literary scene with her provocative debut, The Company She Keeps. A brilliant, stylistically inventive novel, it offers a rich portrait of a truly fascinating protagonist in six revealing episodes. Love her, despise her, or fear for her, you will never forget Margaret Sargent. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary McCarthy including rare images from the author’s estate.

Book Description
"With the best of these stories, Ed Gorman not only transcends the genre of crime fiction, he takes it on an entirely new direction."—REFLECTIONS PRISONERS & OTHER STORIES In a recent interview, Ed Gorman said that his work is essentially about "Outsiders trying to strike some sort of weary bargain with a hostile world.” The prize-winning stories collected here certainly reflect that theme. From the young man visiting his father in prison—to the teenage girl trying to escape the grip of her mother's boyfriend—to the father searching for his daughter's murderer... these are people we see every day, yet did not know intimately until now. As Reflections noted, "Ed Gorman is a serious writer with a voice and vision all his own . . .” And, in the words of The San Francisco Chronicle, "Ed Gorman has a wonderful style of writing that allows him to say things of substance in an entertaining way.” Prisoners offers the reader a variety of moods and styles—from the mournful beauty of “The Wind From Midnight" to the hard-boiled sorrow of “Failed Prayers" to the bitter power of the Shamus-winning “Turn Away." Here you'll find crime, horror and mainstream stories by the writer whose first novel, Rough Cut, Library Journal called "An auspicious debut” and whose most recent novel, The Night Remembers, The San Diego Chronicle said made Gorman “One of today's best crime writers." Prisoners also contains a warm and witty Afterword by best-selling author Dean R. Koontz.

Book Description
Until the nineteen sixties, proper young women were raised to remain virgins until marriage, to be good mothers and wives, and to depend on husbands for status and economic survival. With the feminist movement, women began to understand they could make decisions regarding their own destiny. Women liked it that they could be equal to men in domestic and public life. Many worked hard to earn that equality. Yet certain issues remain universal - love, controlling partners, career, motherhood and aging - subjects of the stories in this book. Equality, however, has brought its kinks to the story. Join author Barbara Wolfenden in The Accidental Jibe to explore how women might handle common and not-so-common problems. You will be surprised. "These relationship stories are fast-paced and written with beautiful language." Judy Osborne, Author, Wisdom for Separated Parents: Rearranging Around the Children to Keep Kinship Strong (Praeger, 2011)
