Story
1932. After the Great War took both her beloved brother and her fiancé, Violet Speedwell has become a "surplus woman," one of a generation doomed to a life of spinsterhood after the war killed so many young men. Yet Violet cannot reconcile herself to a life spent caring for her grieving, embittered mother. After countless meals of boiled eggs and dry toast, she saves enough to move out of her mother's place and into the town of Winchester, home to one of England's grandest cathedrals.

17th Century Holland. When Griet becomes a maid in the household of Johannes Vermeer in the town of Delft, she thinks she knows her role: housework, laundry and the care of his six children. But as she becomes part of his world and his work, their growing intimacy spreads tension and deception in the ordered household and, as the scandal seeps out, into the town beyond.

Story
On the windswept, fossil-strewn beaches of the English coast, poor and uneducated Mary Anning learns that she has a unique gift: "The eye" to spot fossils no one else can see. When she uncovers an unusual fossilized skeleton in the cliffs near her home, she sets the religious community on edge, the townspeople to gossip, and the scientific world alight. After enduring bitter cold, thunderstorms, and landslips, her challenges only grow when she falls in love with an impossible man.

Story
An elegant, original, and compelling novel, set against a gaslit backdrop of social and political turbulence in early 20th-century London, Falling Angels draws a picture of family life that exposes the prejudices and flaws of a changing time. Chevalier ( Girl with a Pearl Earring) "shows imaginative skill in two neatly accomplished surprises, and the denouement packs an emotional wallop," says Publishers Weekly.

Story
1838: James and Sadie Goodenough have settled where their wagon got stuck - in the muddy, stagnant swamps of northwest Ohio. They and their five children work relentlessly to tame their patch of land, buying saplings from a local tree man known as John Appleseed so they can cultivate the 50 apple trees required to stake their claim on the property. But the orchard they plant sows the seeds of a long battle. James loves the apples, reminders of an easier life back in Connecticut; while Sadie prefers the applejack they make, an alcoholic refuge from brutal frontier life.

Story
Dans les années 1810, à Lyme Regis, sur la côte du Dorset battue par les vents, Mary Anning découvre ses premiers fossiles et se passionne pour ces "prodigieuses créatures" dont l'existence remet en question toutes les théories sur la création du monde. Très vite, la jeune fille issue d'un milieu modeste se heurte aux préjugés de la communauté scientifique, exclusivement composée d'hommes, qui la cantonne dans un rôle de figuration. Mary Anning va trouver heureusement en Elizabeth Philpot, une vieille fille intelligente et acerbe, une alliée inattendue.

Quand Honor Bright se décide à franchir l'Atlantique pour accompagner sa sœur au cœur de l'Ohio, elle pense pouvoir recréer auprès d'une nouvelle communauté le calme de son existence de jeune quaker : broderie, prière, silence. Mais l'Amérique de 1850 est aussi périlleuse qu'enchanteresse. Honor découvre bientôt l'existence d'un "chemin de fer clandestin", réseau de routes secrètes tracées par les esclaves pour rejoindre les terres libres du Canada. Elle fait alors la connaissance de personnages hauts en couleur.

MARY ANNING överlever ett blixtnedslag som spädbarn och betraktas som en ovanlig flicka, kanske ämnad för någonting stort. När Mary som ung flicka upptäcker fossil av okända livsformer i klipporna nära hemmet vaknar den vetenskapliga världens intresse.Men trots att Mary skickligare än någon annat förmår upptäcka de värdefullaste fossilen ses hon enbart som en medhjälpare till de manliga geologerna. Hon får utstå fördomar från det akademiska samfundet, elakt skvaller från sina grannar, och även smärtan i en förbjuden kärlek.

Det är januari 1901 dagen efter drottning Victorias död. Hela London bär sorg. På en välkänd kyrkogård i staden har två familjer valt att besöka sina familjegravar som råkar ligga intill varandra. Redan vid detta första möte blir Gertrud Waterhouse chockerad av Kitty Coleman, iförd en elegant, blå klänning. Själv är hon svartklädd som konventionen påbjuder. Till skillnad från familjen Waterhouse, som håller hårt på de viktorianska idealen, är Colemans öppna för det nya seklets strömningar.

Story
England im 19. Jahrhundert mit Jane-Austen-Atmosphäre. Der Roman "Das Mädchen mit dem Perlenohrring" machte Tracy Chevalier weltberühmt. Ein Millionenpublikum kennt die Geschichte der kleinen Magd, die Vermeer in seinem berühmten Gemälde verewigt hat. In ihrem neuen Roman, der an Jane Austen erinnert, setzt die Autorin zwei Frauen ein literarisches Denkmal, die zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts die männlich beherrschte Welt der Naturforscher herausforderten. Elizabeth Philpot ist eine junge Frau aus besseren Kreisen, deren Familienerbe nicht zu einem standesgemäßen Leben in London reicht.

A toy soldier. A butter dish. A compass. Mundane objects, perhaps, but to the remarkable authors in this collection, artifacts such as these have inspired stories that go to the heart of the human experience of World War I. Each author was invited to choose an object that had a connection to the war - a writing kit for David Almond, a helmet for Michael Morpurgo - and use it as the inspiration for an original short story.
