Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass dicuss their efforts to win rights for women and African Americans. Some people had rights, while others had none. Why shouldn't they have them, too? Two friends, Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, get together for tea and conversation. They recount their similar stories fighting to win rights for women and African Americans. The premise of this particular exchange between the two is based on a statue in their hometown of Rochester, New York, which shows the two friends having tea. The text by award-winning writer Dean Robbins teaches about the fight for women's and African Americans' rights in an accessible, engaging manner for young children. Two Friends is beautifully illustrated by Selina Alko and Sean Qualls, the husband-and-wife team whose The Case for Loving received three starred reviews! Two Friends includes back matter with photos of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass.

In this set of novellas, a few facts are constant. Sergio is a young intellectual, poor and proud of his new membership in the Communist Party. Maurizio is handsome, rich, successful with women, and morally ambiguous. Sergio’s young, sensual lover becomes collateral damage in the struggle between these two men. All three of these unfinished stories, found packed in a suitcase after Alberto Moravia’s death, share this narrative premise. But from there, each story unfolds in a unique way. The first patiently explores the slow unfurling of Sergio’s resentment toward Maurizio. The second reveals the calculated bargain Maurizio offers in exchange for his conversion to Sergio’s beloved Communism. And the third switches dramatically to the first person, laying bare Sergio’s conflicted soul. Anyone interested in literature will relish the opportunity to watch Moravia at work, tinkering with his story and working at it from three unique perspectives.

It’s 1870 and the Siege of Paris is in full swing, where the French-Prussian war has brought daily life to a halt. Wearied, starving, and strung out on absinthe, two men meet by chance at their favourite fishing spot. "Two Friends" follows Morissot and Sauvage as they make their way into no man’s land and drink away the miseries of the war. A powerful short story that extolls the virtues of French patriotism and dramatises the cruelties of war. Maupassant’s portrayal yearns for a return to ordinary life and real human connections, through plain philosophy and simple language suited to the styles of Flaubert and Hemingway. Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) was a famous French writer, often referred to as the father of the short story. A prolific writer, his best known works include "Bel-Ami", "Une Vie" and "The Necklace", alongside some 300 short stories, travel books, and poetry. A master of style and dramatic narrative, Maupassant’s stories are drawn to themes of war, the working class, and the human condition. One of his greatest influences was Gustave Flaubert, who introduced him to some of the central names of the time such as Emile Zola, Ivan Turgenev, and Henry James.

Amy Grimes never had any intention of settling down with just one guy. She’s more than happy on her own making six figures as an IT manager, traveling to exotic locales, and keeping her home exactly as she wants it. Her childhood best friend, country boy Owen Durant, feels the same way and has no desire to date just one woman in particular. Even though these platonic friends have harbored a mutual attraction for years, both of them have resisted the urge to explore how they felt about each other. Until now. When Owen’s wealthy, conservative uncle unexpectedly dies, the reading of the will puts him in a predicament — he must forfeit his portion of the inheritance, or find a fiancée, and fast. Owen has no interest in getting married for real, but he also can’t let the prospect of free money get away from him over something as trivial as paperwork. With some fast talk and the promise of a share in the inheritance, Amy readily agrees to travel to their hometown to pose as Owen’s funeral date and fake wife for the weekend. Even though it's just a business transaction, Amy realizes that being in constant close quarters with her long-time best friend and crush and pretending to be married is a little more than she can bear, and they soon find themselves cracking under the pressure. It’s going to take a miracle for them to make it through the funeral and beyond without blowing their cover or catching feelings in this friends-to-lovers romcom!
