Cherry and Violet
by Anne Manning
A Tale of the Great Plague. 1666 was a difficult year in London. With its sordid materialism and its coarse handling of things most sacred, not merely does Manning see, as an Englishwoman, the grandeur of its struggles, but she sees its best embodiment in the tragedy of an almost perfect life. In her description of the plague (much detail taken from the diarist, Pepys), followed by The Great Fire, Manning is taken out of her comfort zone to the sordid realities. Her answer is to take Mistress Cherry to a country house in Berkshire, where peace and tranquility are to be found. - Summary by Lynne Thompson

Clotel, or, The President's Daughter - William Wells Brown
"Clotel, or, The President's Daughter" by William Wells Brown explores the complex intersections of race, identity, and power in a society grappling with the legacy of slavery. This groundbreaking work, often regarded as one of the first African American novels, delves into the struggles of its characters against a backdrop of systemic oppression and personal sacrifice. Its themes of resilience and the quest for freedom remain profoundly relevant today as society continues to confront issues of racial inequality and social justice. Listening to this powerful narrative offers not only a glimpse into America's past but also a deeper understanding of the ongoing fight for dignity and equality.
