Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johanna is a serving girl to Dame Margery Kempe, a renowned medieval holy woman. Dame Margery feels the suffering the Virgin Mary felt for her son, but cares little for the misery she sees every day. When she announces that Johanna will accompany her on a pilgrimage to Rome, the suffering truly begins. After walking all day, Johanna must fetch water, wash clothes, and cook for the entire party of pilgrims. Then arguing breaks out between Dame Margery and the other travelers, and Johanna is caught in the middle. As the fighting escalates, Dame Margery turns her back on the whole group, including Johanna. Abandoned in a foreign land where she doesn't even speak the language, the young maidservant must find her own way to Rome. Inspired by the15th-century text, The Book of Margery Kempe, the first autobiography in English, Rebecca Barnhouse chronicles Johanna's painful journey through fear and anger and physical hardship to ultimate redemption. Fans of Karen Cushman and other medieval historical fiction will be spellbound.

Book excerpt: “Once bitten twice shy. If minor mistakes could get me in trouble, what if I make a major mistake? One may run away from temptation but may not hide from it,” Ngozi cautioned. But that was the night she succumbed to temptation. Then came the beating: dum, dum, dum, tim, tim . . . Ngozi couldn’t protect her face anymore. She cried out in pain, “Sorry, sorry, I swear I will never dance again in my life. O heaven help me! Please! Please!” MmA and Jon beat Ngozi for hours until she gave up her dream. A maid’s patience could be compared to the patience of a farmer, one who plants and patiently waits for harvest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-Independence Hindi literature is by and large dominated by the representations of urban, middle class life. Given this context, the focus of Krishna Baldev Vaid's The Diary of a Maidservant is unusual. While the setting is still the big city, the novel bridges the class-divide to delineate the life and thoughts of a young woman who earns a living as a casual household help. The story revolves around Shanti, a teenage maidservant. The generous and literate Mrs Varma gives Shanti a notebook to write in. Through this 'diary' Shanti gradually discovers all kinds of things about herself-impulses, dreams, contradictions. The same diary unfolds the forces an intelligent but poor girl has to contend with in burgeoning New Delhi. Shanti must cope with a family struggling to survive, predatory males, demanding mistresses, and a multitude of her own desires. Even the kindness of her middle-aged employers Biji and Newspaper Sahab-two people who idealistically set out to improve Shanti'slot in life-brings problems with it. Dedicated to hard-working women domestics, Krishna Baldev Vaid thrusts the reader directly into the complications of everyday relationships between masters and servants, and men and women. The Introduction to the volume has been written by Ashok Vajpeyi, a distinguished poet, critic, and editor. The novel, an absorbing read, and the analytically rich introduction by Professor Ashok Vajpeyi, a distinguished poet and academic, will appeal to students and scholars of literature in general and Indian literature in translation in particular, comparative literature, gender studies, cultural studies, as well as general readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever been so desperate that you would do literally anything for money? This is the tragic situation Giselda finds herself in, with no money for an operation her younger brother desperately needs to save his life, and no one to turn to. Ground down by poverty she plucks up her courage to offer the only thing she has of value - her purity. Choking back her pride and knowing that she is about to forfeit his respect, she approaches her wealthy employer, the handsome Earl of Lyndhurst, who is recovering from his injuries sustained in the Battle of Waterloo. Appalled that this frail and innocent young girl should be faced with such a terrible decision, he vows to find a way to help her without offending her dignity. He knows she would never accept his charity, and she refuses to confide in him the reasons for her family's poverty. Intrigued by the air of mystery about a girl of obvious quality reduced to the role of maidservant, the Earl decides to discover why a beautiful young woman of strong principles has been reduced to such extreme measures. Discovering her to have gentle hands and wonderful nursing skills he employs her as his private nurse and turns his sharp mind to uncovering her secrets - and learns his own lessons in love in the process.

She will marry the son of her father's rival, the King of Italy, taking her place one day as its queen. As Adelheid grows up, she dreads her impending marriage, longing instead for a life of contemplation and devotion in an abbey. But aware it is her duty, she and King Lothair of Italy are wed. The marriage is as unhappy as it is brief, their lives dominated by Berengar, the true ruler of Italy and his vicious wife, Willa. When Lothair meets a brutal end, Adelheid hopes she can at last take up the religious life she has always dreamed of. But tenth century Italy proves to be a treacherous land for the beautiful young queen. Berengar, now the King of Italy, is jealous of Adelheid's popularity. He plots to marry her to his own son, the odious Adalbert and he will not take no for an answer. Only one man can help her - Otto, the King of Germany and the most powerful man in Christendom. But Otto's help will come at a price. A widower, whose heart lies in the grave with his beloved wife, he demands Adelheid's lands and her beauty for his own...
