A Little Nook News...
This weeks theme for the Free Classic eBooks from Barnes & Noble is Women Who Inspired Us. And what a great selection it is... there's Alexandra Bergson, "a fiercely independent young Swedish immigrant girl who inherits her fathers farm in Nebraska A model of emotional strength, courage, and resolve, Alexandra fights long and hard to transform her father s patch of raw, wind-blasted prairie into a highly profitable business." from Willa Cather's O Pioneer. And Socialite Lily Bart who "falls in love with lawyer Lawrence Selden, whose lack of money spoils their chances for happiness together. Dubious business deals and accusations of liaisons with a married man diminish Lily s social status, and as she makes one bad choice after another, she learns how venal and brutally unforgiving the upper crust of New York can be." from Edith Wharton's House of Mirth. These eBooks are part of Barnes & Nobles "Build Your Own Library of Classic eBooks" Promotion.
