Dive into the heart of late 19th-century England in Margot, the first in a stirring trilogy. Young Margot, forced to relinquish her newborn, finds herself torn between the affections of the wealthy Lord Beaufort and the passionate painter, Matthew. As Margot navigates love, loyalty, and loss amidst a tumultuous love triangle, the lingering hope of reuniting with her daughter, Mary, casts a long shadow. Every choice she makes draws her closer to heartache or salvation, leading to a journey of self-discovery in a time of societal constraints.
It's the mid-1950s and Margot Thornsen is growing up between a Park Avenue apartment in New York City and her family's sumptuous Oyster Bay estate, as the presumed heir to her late grandfather's steel fortune. Stuck in the mores and bores of WASP society with its cocktail parties and white-gloved galas, Margot is constantly rubbing against the strictures of her domineering mother, who never misses an opportunity to lecture her on the importance of marrying well. Meanwhile, Margot dreams of microscopes and beetles and books.As she comes of age in the 1960s, a time of war and assassinations and riots, Margot's path diverges and she finds herself in the expansive world of Radcliffe College, navigating a new age of sexual liberation, scientific discovery, acid trips, and rock 'n' roll. The old rule book has been burned. There are no more limits. But now that she can choose, what does Margot really want?Hailed for her "intelligent and heartfelt fiction" (Kirkus Reviews), Wendell Steavenson writes with grace, precision, and great psychological perception. With Margot, she has crafted an intimate portrayal of the quiet torment of young women of the era, a comically caustic mother-daughter story, and a memorable evocation of one woman's passion for the wonder of science.
Anne Frank has long been a symbol of bravery and hope, but there were two sisters hidden in the annex, two young Jewish girls, one a cultural icon made famous by her published diary and the other, nearly forgotten. In the spring of 1959, "The Diary of Anne Frank" has just come to the silver screen to great acclaim, and a young woman named Margie Franklin is working in Philadelphia as a secretary at a Jewish law firm. On the surface she lives a quiet life, but Margie has a secret: a life she once lived, a past and a religion she has denied, and a family and a country she left behind. Margie Franklin is really Margot Frank, older sister of Anne, who did not die in Bergen-Belsen as reported, but who instead escaped the Nazis for America. But now, as her sister becomes a global icon, Margie's carefully constructed American life begins to fall apart. A new relationship threatens to overtake the young love that sustained her during the war, and her past and present begin to collide. Margie is forced to come to terms with Margot, with the people she loved, and with a life swept up into the course of history.
"Sometimes I feel like my whole life is about getting back to how I feel when I'm in Paris"This is a collection of poetry and prose, comprised of short poems about nature (particularly water and the moon as well as plants and soil), travel (paris, venice, nashville, and more), romance, self-respect/self-love, faith (keeping it and losing it), time, love, loss, growing up, breaking up, madness, betrayal, revenge, sadness, and, inexorably: hope.This book is dedicated to the survivors, the broken ones and the people who love them."battle lines drawn around coffee shops, tennessee, npr, you and me.""i guess i will love you glittering in that forgotten doorway in my own way forever.""she didn't realize how strong she was until she realized how far she had come and how far she still intended to go.""loving you will be the death of many things, and the birth of so many, many more" * in other words... * MARGOT compiles the work of an artist who has bitten deeply into the core of the human experience, champions the richness of a paradoxical existence, and relentlessly pursues a more complete way to express the weight of beauty. In this, her debut collection of poetry and prose, Isabella Margot takes truth in its teeth and doesn't let go. Time, mortality, and pain are themes viscerally explored alongside ideas as glittering as stardust, as ephemeral as dreams, and as long-lasting as l̶o̶v̶e̶r̶s̶ ghosts.For Fans of: Mary Oliver, Rupi Kaur, John Keats, Atticus.
Margot has gifted herself with a vacation to Corsica-the fulfillment of a promise made to herself long ago. And she must admit she's enjoying the solitude that traveling alone brings, even if the indulgence prompts a guilty twinge or two.Exploring Corsica's shoreline, museums, and churches, Margot finds herself reflecting on her life and her mortality. Her daughters are grown, and her marriage at this point is best described as comfortable. As she looks back on her past through a series of revealing flashbacks, Margot realizes she's come to a pivotal moment in time.A delicate unfolding of one woman's life, Margot is like the sea surrounding Corsica: beautiful, seductive, and capable of dragging the reader into unexpected depths. Author Lisa De Castro brings both Margot and Corsica to vibrant life, seamlessly blending evocative descriptions of Corsica's weathered, ancient landscapes with Margot's bittersweet memories-and her possible future.
Dear Journal, After spending two months with my parents, boyfriend and his parents, it is time for our families to depart Henley Beach to-morrow, and return home. While Marcus and his parents will be return-ing to Chicago, my parents and I will be returning to Dallas. Even though I am looking forward to return-ing to Dallas, I am not looking forward to saying goodbye to Marcus, his family, and the amazing summer that all of us have had here at Henley Beach.
For sixteen years under Margot's influence, and touched by her love, I grew and thrived, producing and publishing a variety of books. In my painting, despite our totally different styles and techniques, Margot would suggest subtle touches of colour and shading that brought added dimension and perspective to mountains, trees and figures. Margot offered encouragement and praise but was not afraid to admonish when needed. With Margot, I slowly learned to be in the now, and to accept people who thought and believed differently than I. She taught me to see other points-of-view and to treasure people as they are. Her beliefs were quite different from my own, yet she supported mine to the point of accompanying me to church on numerous occasions. I had never before known someone who not only believed in me but taught me to believe in myself.

Die Nacht zum 24. August 1572 war eine Nacht des Terrors. Katharina von Medici ließ in Paris 2000 Hugenotten ermorden, in den folgenden Wochen wurden weitere 20.000 umgebracht. Heinrich Mann beschreibt in seinem historischen Roman, den er Mitte der 30er Jahre des vergangenen Jahrhunderts verfasst hat, das korrupte, von Intrigen und Machtkämpfen beherrschte Hofleben: Anspielungen auf die Gegenwart Heinrich Manns, auf das nationalsozialistische Terrorregime sind deutlich erkennbar. "Margot", ein Kapitel aus der Lebensgeschichte des Königs Henri IV., ist ein Aufruf zur Menschlichkeit, die dem Terror gegenübergestellt wird. Heinrich Mann wollte in einer Zeit des Krieges und des Exils, "dass Deutsch und Französisch sich dies eine Mal durchdrängen. Davon erhoffte ich immer das beste für die Welt."

Margot Fonteyn - born plain Peggy Hookham - was dreamed into existence by the architects of British ballet: Ninette de Valois, Frederick Ashton and Constant Lambert. Carried to fame on a wave of wartime patriotism, Margot's sense of duty rather than ambition propelled her forward. Yet her gifts were such that her pre-eminence would come to eclipse the careers of subsequent generations.Ballet is a fairytale world; if Margot, like the pure and poetic heroine of Swan Lake, was a natural Odette, she would also have to contend with virtue's raw shadow-side in the guise of Constant Lambert, Roberto Arias and Rudolph Nureyev - the men who, like Von Rothbart, were to take possession of her heart.
Margot Asquith's Great War Diary 1914-1916

Margot Asquith was the wife of Herbert Henry Asquith, the Liberal Prime Minister who led Britain into war in August 1914. Asquith's early war leadership drew praise from all quarters, but in December 1916 he was forced from office in a palace coup, and replaced by Lloyd George, whose career he had done so much to promote. Margot had both the literary gifts and the vantage point to create, in her diary of these years, a compelling record of her husband's fall from grace. She once described herself as 'a sort of political clairvoyant', but she did not anticipate the premier's fall, and it is for her candour, not her clairvoyance, that the diary is valuable. Margot was both a spectator of, and a participant in, the events that she describes, and in public affairs could be an ally or an embarrassment - sometimes both. Her diary evokes the wartime milieu, as experienced in 10 Downing Street, and describes the great political battles that lay behind the warfare on the Western Front. Her writing teems with character sketches, including those of Lloyd George ('a natural adventurer who may make or mar himself any day'), Churchill ('Winston's vanity is septic'), and Kitchener ('a man brutal by nature and by pose'). Witty and worldly, Margot also possessed a childlike vulnerability: 'This is the 84th day of the war' she wrote in October 1914, 'and speaking for myself I have never felt the same person since. I don't mean to say I have improved! On the contrary...'. This volume brings together a wealth of previously-unpublished source material with an introductory essay from Michael and Eleanor Brock, two of the leading authorities in the field. This will be vital reading for anyone with an interest in the history of World War I or in British politics of the time.
