    Summary

    When Mr. Charles Bingley rode into Hertfordshire to acquaint himself with Netherfield Park it was on a purely accidental recommendation. Bingley was the sort of open, easy young man whom people would not scruple to share their opinions with, and the solicitor who took it upon himself to advocate for Netherfield could certainly not be blamed for seeing a very desirable tenant in him. Bingley was at that time not yet of age two years and unmarried, but he had the sort of good-humoured and generous character that must recommend him to almost anybody.

    Summary

    It’s funny how some things in life creep up on you. You roll out of bed, rub at your eyes and knock back a cup of coffee, not knowing that today might be the day that your life’s about to switch tracks. And that was exactly the case for Idgie Threadgoode.

    Summary

    “Are you ever gonna say yes to me, Del Mar?” Jack asked quietly, almost as if he was just voicing his thoughts out loud.

    Ennis opened his mouth to reply, but no words would come. Whenever he tried to say yes, a thousand reasons would tell him not to, and he was afraid. He was so damn afraid.

    Jack caught their reflection in the window and felt that old, familiar blade push back into place. “Yeah.” He whispered, placing his cigarette back between his lips and turning to find his clothes. “I thought as much.”

    Summary

    It was a living, alright, the way Francis saw it, but it wasn’t a life. A life was made of something other than dry red dust and the dregs of a whiskey bottle. When he imagined his grandparents, who he had never met, he thought, That there must have been a life. What they had belonged to them: six children, twelve acres of green Ulster farmland, a body that joined you in slumber and rolled over to touch you in the morning.

    Texas, 1881. Francis Crozier is a cow boss who drinks to drown old hurts. James Fitzjames is a secretive city slicker from New York. Their paths cross at Coppermine Ranch.
