Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.
DESCRIPTION:
A New York Times–bestselling novel of the lives, loves, and foibles of five generations of a British family occupying a manor house in Wales.
For nearly one hundred and fifty years the Quin family has lived at China Court, their magnificent estate in the Welsh countryside. The land, gardens, and breathtaking home have been maintained, cherished, and ultimately passed along–from Eustace and Adza in the early nineteenth century to village-girl-turned-lady-of-the-manor Ripsie Quin, her children, and her granddaughter, Tracy, in the twentieth.
Brilliantly intermingling the past and the present, China Court is a sweeping family saga that weaves back and forth through time. The story begins at the end, in 1960, with the death of the indomitable Ripsie, whose dream of a life at the grand estate was realized through her marriage to the steadfast Quin brother who loved her–though he wasn’t the one she had always loved.
With thrilling literary leaps across the decades, the story of a British dynasty is told in enthralling detail. It is a chronicle of wives and husbands; of mothers, sons, and daughters; of those who could never stray far from the lush grounds of China Court and the outcasts and outsiders who would never truly belong.
Bearing comparison to One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez, Rumer Godden’s novel relates the history of a family with sensitivity, wit, compassion, and a compelling touch of magical realism. A family’s loves, pains, triumphs, and scandals are laid bare, forming an intricate tapestry of heart-wrenching humanity, in a remarkable work of fiction from one of the most acclaimed British novelists of the twentieth century.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of the author including rare images from the Rumer Godden Literary Estate.

Available through April 24 at
Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.
DESCRIPTION:
Two tales. One location. Mystery and suspense with a twist.
Every place in the American West has a story. Shadows of the men and women who fought to survive the deadly challenges of the Old West remain, some inspiring, some dark, all of them waiting to be discovered.
The Old West Suspense series follows the adventures of journalist, Beverly Conners, as she hunts down modern day stories in small town America while also telling the lost tales of the people who lived and died in that same town long ago.
Alpine Glow is a parallel tale masterfully woven between a passionate western mystery and a modern day thriller, both taking place in the same desert town of Alpine, Texas…over 100 years apart.
Beverly Conners, a big time Denver Post journalist, finds herself at a crossroads, personally, professionally, financially and geographically. Newly divorced, unemployed and far from home under the beautiful Texas sky she has to make some tough choices.
Little does Bev know that her decision to work for Alpine’s small town newspaper will bring her into the most dangerous, fast breaking news story of her life.
In this small Texas border town Bev searches for the next best story in the desert southwest. Her digging uncovers the town’s passionate past filled with violence between rival ranches and competing brothers and also lands her in the middle of a current day arson investigation.
Bev’s sleuthing nature eventually leads her down a smoke veiled pathway of murder, destiny, betrayal and love.
Bev could not have predicted that her keen interest in the history of her new western home would give her insight and strength to fight off a modern day madman. Nor could she have known that her unfortunate introduction to Officer Sam Gant would touch her heart as it had never been touched before.
Before she is through, Bev must choose her path, make peace with her own past, catch the perpetrator and have her story…but will she ever get what she truly wants most?
