By the time of his death in 1931, Arnold Bennett was a renowned and highly respected author with a prodigious literary output. The variety of subject matter covered by him was immense. He wrote novels, short stories, stage-plays, literary reviews, self-improvement manuals, film scripts, forewords to other authors' books, newspaper columns, his own daily journal, letters to all and sundry, and finally, poetry.Although Bennett produced some of the finest pieces of written English prose of the last 150 years, with such majestic works as Clayhanger and The Old Wives' Tale, his poetic abilities did not receive critical acclaim. Despite requests from Bennett to publishers no collection of his poetry has ever been published, this collection draws on the work of Paul Plant in his dissertation 'A Poetry of the Ordinary' and includes all the poems that can be located together with examples of Bennett's original hand written drafts.
Two high school friends take very different paths during WWII. The traditional Angie falls in love--orever--with a sailor, whose life is suddenly ended by a German torpedo, while her friend Dorothy attempts something unheard of in the forties: going to law school. Newfoundland during the wartime forties was hardly Rosie the Riveter Country. So, when Angie loses her sailor lover and marries the boy next door--who turns out to be a sexual sadist--she fears there is no way out. She turns to her friend Dorothy, a woman lawyer at a time when such aspirations seemed impossible. But it's what happens after that, in a world where feminism did not exist, that's surprising--and unsettling. This novel is a tale of loss, female friendship, and of a time long past, when being a woman had few advantages, and many disadvantages. Filled with tragedy, magic realism, and humour, this novel paints a picture of women's lives in the forties, and of the prevailing and enduring power of female friendship.
