Lucy Maud Montgomery
Valancy Stirling has spent twenty-nine years being quietly miserable under her family's thumb — until a doctor's letter convinces her she has almost no time left, and she finally decides to actually live. L.M. Montgomery's only novel written for adults is funny, defiant, and deeply satisfying, with a romance as wholesome as her more famous Anne books.
Classics

Medieval Norway through the life of one stubborn, vivid woman. Undset's Nobel-winning saga begins here — rich, immersive, and morally serious. Now in one volume, Tiina Nunnally’s award-winning definitive translation brings this remarkable work to life with clarity and lyrical beauty.
