Book Description
For every one of his smiles, she thought of his letter and blushed with shame of what she had done. Oh, that she might have just looked at it! After rejecting Mr Darcy's proposal at Hunsford, Elizabeth Bennet is surprised when he finds her walking the next day and hands her a letter. Without any expectation of pleasure-but with the strongest curiosity-she begins to open the letter, fully intending to read it. It really was an accident-at first. Her shaking hands broke the seal and somehow tore the pages in two. Oh, what pleasure she then felt in tearing the pages again and again! A glorious release of anger and indignation directed towards the man who had insulted her and courted her in the same breath. She did feel remorse, but what could she do? The letter was destroyed, and Elizabeth expected that she would never see Mr Darcy again. Home at Longbourn, she discovers that her youngest sisters are consumed by a scheme to go to Brighton-and Elizabeth finds herself drawn to the idea of a visit to the sea. But the surprises of Brighton are many, beginning with a chance meeting on the beach and ending in unexpected romance all around.

Book Description
This book is about the journey of an unopened letter treasured in a white envelope, which has now turned pale rusty-brown, the color of aging time. It belongs to an author who has resigned to the lap of nature. But when a stranger knocks on his door to interview him, the author shares his life's story by recounting his memories. The letter that was given to him by his beloved upon their separation remained unopened for two decades. It was a companion he could never leave behind yet at the same time never face.Sagar and Deeksha have a bumpy start. But soon the ride turns smooth as the time passes by. Right from their first meeting to the magic of their blossoming love until their separation, the book introduces us to a roller-coaster journey of pure and undiluted love filled with romance, despair and tragedy.Why did the author never open the letter? What choice tore the two loving souls apart? What impact does the stranger have on the author's halted life? What does it take to lose in love and then live with that loss?The story is a work of poetic prose. It delineates all the facets of love: time, distance, promise, patience and hope. A journey light as a breeze and promising a tear on the smiling lips.

Book Description
Ordinary Masochisms reveals how literary works from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries frequently challenged the prevailing view of masochism as a deviant behavior, an opinion supported by many sexologists and psychoanalysts in the 1800s. In these texts, Jennifer Mitchell highlights everyday examples of characters deriving pleasure from pain in encounters and emotions such as flirtations, courtships, betrothals, lesbian desires, religious zeal, marital relationships, and affairs. Mitchell begins by examining the archetypal tale of Samson and Delilah together with Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, from whom masochism gets its name. Through close readings, Mitchell then argues that Charlotte Brontë’s Villette, George Moore’s A Drama in Muslin, D. H. Lawrence’s The Rainbow, and Jean Rhys’s Quartet all experiment with masochistic relationships that are more complex than they seem. Mitchell shows that, far from being victimized, the characters in these works achieve self-definition and empowerment by pursuing and performing pain and that masochism is a generative response rather than a destructive force beyond their control. Including readings of Octave Mirbeau’s The Torture Garden and Ian McEwan’s The Comfort of Strangers, Mitchell traces shifts in public consciousness regarding sex and gender and discusses why masochism continues to be categorized as a perversion today. The literary world, she asserts, has repeatedly questioned this notion as well as masochism’s associations with passivity and femininity, using the behavior to defy heteronormative and heteropatriarchal gender dynamics.

Book Description
Katerina inherits a scented, wooden spice box after her grandmother Mariam dies. It contains letters and a diary, written in Armenian. As she pieces together her family story, Katerina learns that Mariam's childhood was shattered by the Armenian tragedy of 1915. Mariam was exiled from her home in Turkey and separated from her beloved brother, Gabriel, her life marred by grief and the loss of her first love. Dissatisfied and restless, Katerina tries to find resolution in her own life as she completes Mariam's story – on a journey that takes her across Cyprus and then half a world away to New York. Miracles, it seems, can happen—for those trapped by the past, and for Katerina herself.
