Lydia
The name and writings of Hugh Miller, born in Cromarty in 1802, have always been and still are well known. Apart from an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography, his wife, Lydia, born in Inverness in 1812, has remained undeservedly in obscurity. Now, in this book, she is at last brought on stage. Here Elizabeth Sutherland tells us of Lydia's upbringing and education, and the romantic story of how she fell in love with and married a 'plain working man', as Hugh described himself, with little formal education and apparently few prospects. We are taken through the tragedy of the early death in Cromarty of their first-born child to their move to Edinburgh in 1840 when Hugh was appointed ed...
Bloomsbury and France
"Bloomsbury on the Mediterranean," is how Vanessa Bell described France in a letter to her sister, Virginia Woolf. Remarking on the vivifying effect of Cassis, Woolf herself said, "I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim.... Complete heaven, I think it." Yet until now there has never been a book that focused on the profound influence of France on the Bloomsbury group. In Bloomsbury and France: Art and Friends, Mary Ann Caws and Sarah Bird Wright reveal the crucial importance of the Bloomsbury group's frequent sojourns to France, the artists and writers they met there, and the liberating effect of the country itself. Drawing upon many previously unpublished letters, memoirs, ...
Britain, France and the Decolonization of Africa
Looking at decolonization in the conditional tense, this volume teases out the complex and uncertain ends of British and French empire in Africa during the period of ‘late colonial shift’ after 1945. Rather than view decolonization as an inevitable process, the contributors together explore the crucial historical moments in which change was negotiated, compromises were made, and debates were staged. Three core themes guide the analysis: development, contingency and entanglement. The chapters consider the ways in which decolonization was governed and moderated by concerns about development and profit. A complementary focus on contingency allows deeper consideration of how colonial powers planned for ‘colonial futures’, and how divergent voices greeted the end of empire. Thinking about entanglements likewise stresses both the connections that existed between the British and French empires in Africa, and those that endured beyond the formal transfer of power.

The French Detection
Everyone agreed that thirteen-year-old Bessie Hightower was strong willed. Some simply called her pigheaded. But no matter what people said, Bessie knew what she wanted: To spend some time in France. A country that had produced a woman like Joan of Arc had Bessie's admiration. France was much more exciting that Texas. When she arrived, the police came to the boarding house she was staying in and checked everyone's passports. It was just like something out of a spy movie. Then she learned that someone wanted her hosts evicted and that the police meant business. So she decided to do some detective work. And Bessie, not one to surrender easily, lived up to her reputation.
The Great Miss Lydia Becker
Fifty years before women were enfranchised, a legal loophole allowed a thousand women to vote in the general election of 1868. This surprising event occurred due to the feisty and single-minded dedication of Lydia Becker, the acknowledged, though unofficial, leader of the women's suffrage movement in the later 19th century. Brought up in a middle-class family as the eldest of fifteen children, she broke away from convention, remaining single and entering the sphere of men by engaging in politics. Although it was considered immoral for a woman to speak in public, Lydia addressed innumerable audiences, not only on women's votes, but also on the position of wives, female education and rights at...
Lydia's Journey
Ten-year-old Lydia's life is upended in 1915 when soldiers storm her village at the start of the Armenian Genocide. Separated from her parents and younger brother, Lydia is marched from her home in Zeitun, through the desert, and into Syria. She's sold into slavery, and endures years of captivity. When her orphanage arranges her marriage, she emigrates to England, only to find herself in London during the World War II bombing. Inspired by family history and supported by extensive research, Lydia' story is a harrowing but ultimately reassuring story of resilience, faith, and survival.
Lydia’s Blue Rolls-Royce
Lydia was just trying to get her wealthy husband to stop cheating on her, when he upped and threw her out into the streets of Miami. She grabbed clothes, a hidden stash of money, her pistol and took off in her Blue Rolls Royce. The Rolls was a gift from her husband before they were married, but he wanted it back – at all costs. Lydia hid the Blue Rolls Royce at a farm in north Florida where she and her friends stashed the spoils of a caper many years ago. She then played hide and seek with the PI firm her husband hired to find her and the Rolls Royce. Lincoln Hightower was sitting on the beach on Marco Island when his penchant for attractive, rich women focused on a blond, svelte Lydia walking off the beach to the resort hotel where he was staying. Little did he realize that engaging this blond was going to change his life.
