Evaline
'Evaline: A Feminist's Tale' is a chronicle of the impact of the sixties women's liberation movement on the life of a woman called Evaline Sadlier. The story deftly shifts from the mature, accomplished Evaline to the youthful Eva setting out to make her mark as a person and as a businesswoman, helping the reader understand along the way how she got to where she is. In her first media profile, at an early point in her career, when asked to describe her ambition, Eva responds: "I just want to be more than I am. I want to know more, to accomplish more, to give and receive more unconditional love, to have a happy and fulfilling life. I want to keep growing to the very end - preferably not in siz...
When Harvey Didn't Meet Sheelagh
Harvey: Quo vadis leadership, Sheelagh? Sheelagh: You're just asking that 'cause you know I'm a big fan of Hannibal's leadership and the Romans finally got him. Harvey: Yeah, I know, old question. But do you have some new answers? Sheelagh: Well, I have some fresh takes on old answers. Try me. And he did! Harvey, a management columnist, and Sheelagh, a retired CEO and board member, have never met but through emails share what they have learned over the years while challenging conventional wisdom on notions of ambition, success, ethics, getting communication right, gender at work, and legacy. Their volleys back and forth are unusual for a business book; two different minds grappling with issues of modern leadership, disagreeing as often as they agree, prodding each other to move beyond simple truths and over-used arguments to find illumination and greater understanding for themselves and readers. The email exchanges make it a great book for dipping in and out. AND you'll encounter some interesting people along the way.
The Slaidburn Angel
Two sisters conduct a modern-day investigation into a Victorian-era murder of a toddler and discover their grandmother was a key witness. While researching her ancestry on the Internet one gloomy evening, Penny is astonished by what she finds. Urgently, she instructs her sister Sheelagh, "Search ’Slaidburn Suspected Child Murder!’ Now!" So begins a remarkable story within a story spanning more than a century. In 1885 Yorkshire, sisters Grace and Isabella, accused of murdering Grace’s secret illegitimate toddler, were on trial for their lives. A sadly neglected two-year-old boy was dead following a failed attempt to lodge him at a workhouse. A tense and sensational trial followed in Victorian-era Leeds. Sheelagh and Penny began keenly re-investigating these events. They feel personally involved because a prosecution witness at the murder trial, nine-year-old Margaret Isherwood, would later become their grandmother. The book grips us with dramatic events, but also touches us with the abiding loyalty of sisterhood, the desperate power of our need for love, and the crazy things that it can make us do.
