Seasons Under the Sun
Seasons Under the Sun begins where Heart of Texas ends and follows the Franklin Bailey family twelve additional years from 1934 through 1946. The family homestead is in Oak Hill, Texas, a small community on the outskirts of Austin. Although the narrator of Heart of Texas was the Bailey’s limestone house, each chapter in Seasons Under the Sun holds an account of each character—a blending of short stories. Seasons Under the Sun expands from within the walls of the house in Central Texas and travels with the reader to other cities in Texas, California, Arizona, and spans across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The Baileys, both corporately and individually, discover joy, adventure, disappointment, anguish, happiness, dreams fulfilled, and dreams unrealized. Walk with them through this innovative and turbulent time in U.S. history and see how their lives were affected.
Heart of Texas
Imagine for a moment that your house could tell your story. What would it say about your life and the deep secrets you thought no one else knew? The Heart of Texas introduces the Franklin Bailey family. The story, as witnessed by their house, traces the family’s life experiences from 1918 through 1933. This fifteen-year period encompasses major events such as the Great World War, the Spanish Flu, women’s suffrage, the Stock Market Crash, and the Dust Bowl. The story is set in Oak Hill, Texas, a small town on the outskirts of Austin. How did the Baileys cope during these chaotic times? Come meet the Baileys. The door is open, waiting for you.
Metaphysical Animals
WINNER OF THE HWA NON-FICTION CROWN AN IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW NOTABLE BOOK A FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD Elizabeth Anscombe: defiantly brilliant, chain-smoking, trouser-wearing Catholic and (eventual) mother of seven. Philippa Foot: pathalogically discreet, quietly rebellious granddaughter of a US president. Mary Midgley: witty scholar and careful observer of humans and animals alike. Iris Murdoch: aspiring novelist and Francophile with the power to seduce (almost) anyone. Written with expertise and flair, Metaphysical Animals is a vivid portrait of the endeavours and achievements of these four remarkable women. As undergraduates at Oxford during the Second World War, they shared ideas (as well as shoes, sofas and lovers). From the disorder and despair of war, they went on to breathe new life into philosophy, creating a radically fresh way of thinking about freedom, reality and human goodness that is there for us today.
