Until a chance meeting with a traveller leads her to Glenmara, a beautiful coastal village in the far west of the country.

Sing Them Home

Feeling Backward
'Feeling Backward' weighs the cost of the contemporary move to the mainstream in lesbian and gay culture. It makes an effort to value aspects of historical gay experience that now threaten to disappear, branded as embarrassing evidence of the bad old days before Stonewall. Love argues that instead of moving on, we need to look backward.
Appuntamento a Glenmara
Un romanzo al femminile, magico come il cielo d'Irlanda, romantico come un corsetto di pizzo. Ripartire, disfare un punto nella trama della vita e prendere in mano un filo nuovo: è qualcosa che Kate non può più rimandare, ora che la sua carriera di stilista va a rotoli, l'uomo che amava l'ha piantata in asso, e sua madre non c'è più. Quel che le serve è una vacanza, niente più che un temporaneo cambio d'orizzonte. Perciò decide di volare lontano da Seattle, nell'Irlanda dei suoi antenati, dove il destino la sta aspettando per condurla verso una sosta fuori programma, una trascurabile deviazione nel villaggio gaelico di Glenmara. Qui l'incontro con Bernie e le sue amiche, le ragazze del circolo del merletto, sarà l'innesco di un'inattesa, eccitante magia capace di trasformare la vita di ciascuna di loro. E lo scontro con Dean riaprirà un'altra partita che sembrava chiusa una volta per tutte: quella con l'amore.
Beatrix Farrand's Plant Book for Dumbarton Oaks
The Plant Book for Dumbarton Oaks was prepared as a resource for those charged with maintenance of the gardens following their acquisition by Harvard University in 1941. Beatrix Farrand here explains the reasoning behind her plan for each of the gardens and stipulates how each should be cared for in order that its basic character remain intact. Her resourceful suggestions for alternative plantings, her rigorous strictures concerning pruning and replacement, her exposition of the overall concept that underlies each detail, and the plant lists that accompany her discussion of each garden make this a volume of interest to every student, practitioner, and lover of landscape design.
