I just submitted the following:
The Heroines: A Novel by Eileen Favorite
although a true lover of books, Anne-Marie Entwhistle prefers not to
read to her spirited daughter, Penny, especially from the likes of
Madame Bovary, Gone With the Wind, or The Scarlet Letter. These
novels, devoted to the lives of the Heroines that make them so
irresistible, have a way of hitting too close to home-well, to the
Homestead actually, where Anne-Marie runs the quaint family-owned bed
and breakfast.
In this enchanting debut novel, Penny and her mother encounter great
women from classic works of literature who make the Homestead their
destination of choice just as the plots of their tumultuous,
unforgettable stories begin to unravel. They appear at all hours of
the day and in all manners of distress. A lovesick Madame Bovary
languishes in their hammock after Rodolphe has abandoned her, and
Scarlett O'Hara's emotions are not easily tempered by tea and
eiderdowns. These visitors long for comfort, consolation, and
sometimes for more attention than the adolescent Penny wants her
mother to give. Knowing that to interfere with their stories would
cause mayhem in literature, Anne-Marie does her best to make each
Heroine feel at home, with a roof over her head and a shoulder to cry
on. But when Penny begins to feel ignored by
her mother's indulgence of each Heroine, havoc ensues, and the
thirteen-year-old embarks on
her own memorable tale.
Enjoy!
