Shedding new light on the alternative, emancipatory Germany discovered and written about by progressive women writers during the long nineteenth century, this illuminating study uncovers a country that offered a degree of freedom and intellectual agency unheard of in England. Opening with the striking account of Anna Jameson and her friendship with Ottilie von Goethe, Linda K. Hughes shows how cultural differences spurred ten writers' advocacy of progressive ideas and provided fresh materials for publishing careers. Alongside well-known writers - Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot, Michael Field, Elizabeth von Arnim, and Vernon Lee - this study sheds light on the lesser-known writers Mary and Anna Mary Howitt, Jessie Fothergill, and the important Anglo-Jewish lesbian writer Amy Levy. Armed with their knowledge of the German language, each of these women championed an extraordinarily productive openness to cultural exchange and, by approaching Germany through a female lens, imported an alternative, 'other' Germany into English letters.

For many, Ireland is a magical land full of simplicity and warmth. Its beautiful, green rolling hills and picturesque coastlines are extraordinary reminders of God's natural gifts. But for Kathleen, a native Bostonian, it is merely a distant country across the sea...until she finds adoption papers with her date of birth on them. Full of mystery and the turmoil of buried secrets, Linda Hughes's debut novel is a thought-provoking exploration of identity and the consequences of unconscionable acts. Following the trail to Ireland, Kathleen is met by silence and doors closed for generations to protect the past. Burrowing deeper into the mystery, she is confronted by a disheartening fact: few know the real truth-fewer still remain alive. Through her tenacity Kathleen locates the only person who knows the true story behind her identity. Unfortunately, the elderly nun has vowed to never disclose what happened. On her deathbed, however, she has a change of heart, concluding that some secrets are worth keeping while others need to be set free, revealing what becomes impossible to believe. Inspired by the cultural religious devotion of Ireland's people, Hughes expertly crafts the gradual fraying of a young woman's sense of self with confidence and crushing honesty. Tearing open and exposing the abuse and lies used to conceal the truth. Cloistered Secrets is an unforgettable raw nerve that will leave you forever changed.

Yesterday Forever Gone

The woman wakes up alone and beaten on a remote island beach. She not only has no idea where she is at, she doesn't even know her own name. All she can remember is that somebody tried to kill her by tossing her into the sea. Calling herself Jane after Tarzan's companion, she's taken in by a clan of chimpanzees, until she discovers the one house on the island. Deserted, at least for the time being, she wonders who might return to this opulent home. Why would someone come all the way out here - wherever that might be - to such a retreat so far away from civilization? And what might they do to her when they find her on their island? Terrified, for a month Jane carves out a life for herself at the house, with her chimpanzee friends as her only companions. Then one day as she awakes from her routine nap in the hammock, she sees a speck on the horizon of the ocean. It comes closer and closer, and Jane knows that her life is about to change forever. She just has no idea what that change might bring. In this romantic suspense you'll join Jane as she overcomes her fears and suspicions to find out how she ended up on Haven Island and who tried to kill her, and as she falls in love in the most unexpected of ways with the only person who could help her save herself from danger. Soothing island scenes, tense mystery, and forbidden love make The House on Haven Island one seaside journey you don't want to miss.
