It is only through their journey to their "marital home" that Catherine discovers that Raefer Montgomery is actually Alexander Cameron, a Scottish Jacobite who has assumed the identity of a merchant to spy on the English. This doesn't sit well with either party, but they have no choice but to oblige. She succeeds with her scheme - so much so that Hamilton challenges Raefer to a duel. When she meets a tall, dark and handsome stranger with gorgeous dark eyes and a mysterious countenance, she decides to make her suitor jealous by flirting with the strange man, a successful merchant by the name of Mr. ![]() Catherine Augustine Ashbrooke, a young English debutante, has one thing in her mind: to marry Hamilton Garner, a lieutenant for the dragoons. Full of history, adventure and sensual romance, The Pride of Lions is indeed a treasure. The moment I extracted the book, dusted it off (shamefully admitting that my TBR pile is not only huge, but some of the books have gathered dust as well) and began to read, I knew I had a special book in my hands. The Canham novel sank somewhere in the heap of my TBR pile, never to be opened. I especially loved the Jacobite history, and was so voracious for a historical novel set during that same conflicting period between England and Scotland that I bought Marsha Canham's The Pride of Lions. Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series made a big impression on me. ![]()

![]() ![]() For this reason, the epistolary style became hugely popular in the late 18th century. Offering a reader a glimpse inside the mind of a character was not something authors had focused on before. It gives France Burney the chance to show the private reactions, thoughts and feelings of her characters. It’s worth noting that this was a brand new technique when Burney was writing. I first read this when I was about 16 and I immediately loved the simplicity of the style. I was intrigued by the way Frances Burney uses the epistolary style (a series of letters). I think it’s the sign of a really great book that, despite the vast choice in the bookshops, you choose to come back to it again, and again.Įvelina by Frances Burney is one of those books for me. It often results in much frustration as the reader struggles to get into any book she picks up! I’m back online track now though and it’s all thanks to Evelina by Frances Burney.

The goal of the treatment was to promote domesticity and calm her agitated nerves. Weir Mitchell believed that nervous depression was a result of overactive nerves and ordered Gilman to cease all forms of creative activity, including writing, for the rest of her life. She was referred to Silas Weir Mitchell, a leading specialist in women’s nervous disorders in the nineteenth century, who diagnosed Gilman with neurasthenia and prescribed a “rest cure” of forced inactivity. In 1887, shortly after the birth of her daughter, Gilman began to suffer from serious depression and fatigue. “ The Yellow Wallpaper” is an exaggerated account of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s personal experiences. ![]() ![]() The truth of what happened at Brisbane is spreading, and so is radiation from the nuclear blast.
