Описание: In 1925, in a small church at the outskirts of Turin, Pier Venturi sings at mass each Sunday, his pure voice lending exquisite grace to the familiar litany of prayers. Pier's talents do not go unnoticed for long, and the day he rides his bicycle into the city centre for the first time, anxiously anticipating a place in the grand cathedral choir, his life changes forever. With his eyes opened to the glittering life of the -gentry, his budding love for opera develops into a -burning desire for the theatre, for literature, for music - in short, for a cultured life - awakening in him a passion he could never have imagined. Meantime, at the FIAT car factory where he works, his incipient refinement catches the eye of the beautiful Lena with its echoes of the perceived perfections of her first - and lost - love, a scion of a Florence haute bourgeoisie family, whom he re-joins at the end of his legal studies in Turin. Pier and Lena soon fall deeply in love, but this love becomes for Pier a further source of conflict and guilt because her sweet and simple working-class desires clash with his passionate craving for a cultured life. As operatic fame beckons and a sultry mezzo-soprano stirs Pier in all the wrong ways, he must decide where his true aspirations lie and overcome the crushing burden of suspicion, mistrust and self-doubt that is the -legacy of his brutish and unhappy childhood.

Описание: Piemonte, 1894. Maria, the impoverished daughter of a once affluent farming family, faces a painful choice: live as a poor relation in her brother's wife's household, or marry a newcomer to the county, the game warden brought in by Maria's mother's godmother, who is the chatelaine of one of the principal estates of the area. She chooses marriage, and it proves to be a disastrous choice. Her husband, Mat , turns out to be a dishonest, violent drunkard who is soon dismissed by his employer for...poaching. A profoundly devout Catholic, Maria appeals to her confessor for guidance; he tells her that it is a wife's duty to receive her husband - even if he is a drunken lout. To refuse him is a mortal sin. She is trapped. But she is not alone: she has friends, and they rally to her. Her own upright character earns her the respect and loyalty of those who know her. Years pass. Maria gives birth to child after child, desperately trying to maintain some decency, to protect her growing family against the shambles Mat makes of their chances. WWI breaks out, depleting the countryside of its young men. Maria's first-born son goes missing in action. He is not heard of again. Through it all, Maria struggles to support her family, to pay off her small farm and to maintain her faith, which falters when, the war over, her second youngest son, -Sandr n, falls victim to diphtheria after the epidemic is over.

Описание: Andrew Basnett may be retired from academia, but that doesn't seem to have stopped his former colleagues from dumping problems in his lap. This time around it's the peppery Constance Camm, whose neighbors keep disappearing. Miss Camm and her sister, Mollie, might be tempted to shrug things off, were it not for a frightening letter. "I know where you buried the body," says the letter, but...to which disappeared neighbor does the letter refer? And why was it sent to Mollie, who hasn't been burying anything? Spurred by a desire to help a friend (and--admit it --by his own curiosity), Professor Basnett starts poking around. But his efforts uncover more than one village skeleton, and they may call up more than anyone has bargained for.
