Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marie Adelaide Elizabeth Rayner Lowndes, (1868 - 1947), was a prolific English novelist. Active from 1898 until her death, she had a literary reputation for combining exciting incident with psychological interest. Her most famous novel, The Lodger (1913), based on the Jack the Ripper murders of 1888, has been adapted for the screen five different times; the first movie version was Alfred Hitchcock's silent film The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927), followed by Maurice Elvey's in 1932, John Brahm's in 1944, Man in the Attic in 1953, and David Ondaatje's in 2009. Another novel of hers, Letty Lynton (1931), was the basis for the 1932 motion picture of the same name starring Joan Crawford. Born in Marylebone, London and raised in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, France, Mrs Belloc Lowndes was the only daughter of French barrister Louis Belloc and English feminist Bessie Parkes. Her younger brother was Hilaire Belloc, whom she wrote of in her last work The Young Hilaire Belloc (published posthumously in 1956). Her paternal grandfather was the French painter Jean-Hilaire Belloc and her maternal great-great-grandfather was Joseph Priestley. In 1896 she married Frederick Sawrey A. Lowndes (1868-1940).

Book Synopsis The Story of Ivy by : Marie Belloc Lowndes
Download or read book The Story of Ivy written by Marie Belloc Lowndes and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beautiful and ambitious Ivy got exactly what she wanted when she married Jervis Lexton for his money. At least, she thought she had. In fact, she got a whole lot less than she bargained for when he and his father gamble away much of their fortune. As Ivy's frustration grows, Jervis dies from a mysterious illness that investigators think may have been a poisoning. Amid accusations and fear, suspicion builds that Ivy may have been behind it. This is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's 'Miss Marple' books and the crime novels of Raymond Chandler. Marie Belloc Lowndes (1868-1947) was an English novelist and the sister of author Hilaire Belloc. Her first published work was the 1898 biography 'HRH The Prince of Wales: An Account of His Career'. She went on to produce more than 40 novels - mainly mysteries and sometimes based on true crime. Her writing was popular for many decades and had a following among authors, including Ernest Hemingway, who admired her understanding of female psychology.

Download or read book Barbara Rebell written by Marie Belloc Lowndes and published by B. W. DODGE AND COMPANY. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara Rebell As Barbara Rebell, still Barbara Rebell, though she had been a wife, a most unhappy wife, for six years, stepped from the small dark vestibule into the dimly-lighted hall of Chancton Priory, her foot slipped on the floor; and she would have fallen had not a man's hand, small but curiously bony and fleshless, grasped her right arm, while, at the same moment, a deep voice from out the darkness exclaimed, "A good omen! So stumbled the Conqueror!" The accent in which the odd words were uttered would have told a tale as to the speaker's hard-bitten nationality to most English-speaking folk: not so to the woman to whom they were addressed. Yet they smote on her ear as though laden with welcome, for they recalled the voice of a certain Andrew Johnstone, the Scotch Governor of the West Indian island of Santa Maria, whose brotherly kindness and unobtrusive sympathy had been more comfortable to her, in a moment of great humiliation and distress, than his English wife's more openly expressed concern and more eagerly offered friendship. And then, as the stranger advanced, hesitatingly, into the hall, she found herself confronted by an odd, indeed an amazing figure, which yet also brought a quick sense of being at last in a dear familiar place offering both welcome and shelter. For she was at once aware that this must be the notable Jane Turke, Madame Sampiero's housekeeper, one to whom Barbara's own mother had often referred when telling her little daughter of the delights of Chancton Priory—of the Sussex country house to which, when dying, the thoughts of Richard Rebell's wife seemed ever turning with sick longing and regret.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'm telling the man we're not in any hurry, and that he can take us round by the Boulevards. I won't have you seeing Paris from an ugly angle the first time—darling!""But Jack? It's nearly midnight! Surely there'll be nothing to see on theBoulevards now?""Won't there? You wait and see—Paris never goes to sleep!"And then—Nancy remembered it long, long afterwards—something very odd and disconcerting happened in the big station yard of the Gare de Lyon. The horse stopped—stopped dead. If it hadn't been that the bridegroom's arm enclosed her slender, rounded waist, the bride might have been thrown out.The cabman stood up in his seat and gave his horse a vicious blow across the back."Oh, Jack!" Nancy shrank and hid her face in her husband's arm. "Don't let him do that! I can't bear it!"

Download or read book The Chink in the Armour written by Marie Belloc Lowndes and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small, shiny, pink card lay on the round table in Sylvia Bailey's sitting-room at the Hôtel de l'Horloge in Paris.She had become quite accustomed to finding one or more cards—cards from dressmakers, cards from corset-makers, cards from hairdressers—lying on her sitting-room table, but there had never been a card quite like this card.Although it was pink, it looked more like a visiting-card than a tradesman's advertisement, and she took it up with some curiosity. It was inscribed "Madame Cagliostra," and underneath the name were written the words "Diseuse de la Bonne Aventure," and then, in a corner, in very small black letters, the address, "5, Rue Jolie, Montmartre."A fortune-teller's card? What an extraordinary thing!

Download or read book Good Old Anna written by Marie Belloc Lowndes and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Old Anna is an examination of a German villager in a small English town who first works as a nurse for young Rose, before becoming her maid. The novel considers the psychological effects of the first World War between Britain and Germany. Excerpt: "AND now," asked Miss Forsyth thoughtfully, "and now, my dear Mary, what, may I ask, are you going to do about your good old Anna?" "Do about Anna?" repeated the other. "I don't quite understand what you mean." In her heart, Mrs. Otway thought she understood very well what her old friend, Miss Forsyth, meant by the question. For it was Wednesday, the 5th of August, 1914. England had just declared war on Germany, and Anna was Mrs. Otway's faithful, highly valued German servant."

Book excerpt: CLAIRE DE WISSANT, wife of Jacques de Wissant, Mayor of Falaise, stood in the morningsunlight, graceful with a proud, instinctive grace of poise and gesture, on a wind-blownpath close to the edge of the cliff.At some little distance to her left rose the sloping, mansard roofs of the Pavillon deWissant, the charming country house to which her husband had brought her, a seventeenyear old bride, ten long years ago.She was now gazing eagerly out to sea, shielding her grey, heavy-lidded eyes with herright hand. From her left hand hung a steel chain, to which was attached a small key.A hot haze lay heavily over the great sweep of deep blue waters. It blotted out the lowgrey line on the horizon which, on the majority of each year's days, reminds the citizens ofFalaise how near England is to France.Jacques de Wissant had rejoiced in the entente cordiale, if only because it brought such astream of tourists to the old seaport town of which he was now Mayor. But his beautifulwife thought of the English as gallant foes rather than as friends. Was she not greatgranddaughter to that admiral who at Trafalgar, when both his legs were shattered bychain-shot, bade his men place him in a barrel of bran that he might go on commanding, inthe hour of defeat, to the end?And yet as Claire stood there, her eyes sweeping the sea for an as yet invisible craft, herheart seemed to beat rhythmically to the last verse of a noble English poem which thegoverness of her twin daughters had made them recite to her that very morning. How did itrun? Aloud she murmured: "Yet this inconstancy is such, As you too shall adore-"and then she stopped, her quivering lips refusing to form the two concluding lines.To Claire de Wissant, that moving cry from a man's soul was not dulled by familiarity, orhackneyed by common usage, and just now it found an intolerably faithful echo in her sad, rebellious heart, intensifying the anguish born of a secret and very bitter renunciation.With an abrupt, restless movement she turned and walked on till her way along the pathwas barred by a curious obstacle. This was a small red-brick tower, built within a few feetof the edge of the cliff. It was an ugly blot on the beautiful stretch of down, all the uglier thatthe bricks and tiles had not yet had time to lose their hardness of line and colour in the saltwi

Book Synopsis The Dry Wood by : Caryll Houselander
Download or read book The Dry Wood written by Caryll Houselander and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the English-speaking world, the Catholic Literary Revival is typically associated with the work of G. K. Chesterton/Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene. But in fact the Revival’s most numerous members were women. While some of these women remain well known⎯Muriel Spark, Antonia White, Flannery O’Connor, Dorothy Day - many have been almost entirely forgotten. They include: Enid Dinnis, Anna Hanson Dorsey, Alice Thomas Ellis, Eleanor Farjeon, Rumer Godden, Caroline Gordon, Clotilde Graves, Caryll Houselander, Sheila Kaye-Smith, Jane Lane, Marie Belloc Lowndes, Alice Meynell, Kathleen Raine, Pearl Mary Teresa Richards, Edith Sitwell, Gladys Bronwyn Stern, Josephine Ward, and Maisie Ward. There are various reasons why each of these writers fell out of print: changes in the commercial publishing world after World War II, changes within the Church itself and in the English-speaking universities that redefined the literary canon in the last decades of the 20th century. Yet it remains puzzling that a body of writing so creative, so attuned to its historical moment, and so unique in its perspective on the human condition, should have fallen into obscurity for so long. The Catholic Women Writers series brings together the English-language prose works of Catholic women from the 19th and 20th centuries; work that is of interest to a broad range of readers. Each volume is printed with an accessible but scholarly introduction by theologians and literary specialists. The first volume in the series is Caryll Houselander’s The Dry Wood. Houselander is known primarily for her spiritual writings but she also wrote one novel, set in a post-war London Docklands parish. There a motley group of lost souls are mourning the death of their saintly priest and hoping for the miraculous healing of a vulnerable child whose gentleness in the face of suffering brings conversion to them all in surprising and unexpected ways. The Dry Wood offers a vital contribution to the modern literary canon and a profound meditation on the purpose of human suffering.
