Excerpt from Poor Nellie, Vol. 3 of 3Nellie missed a mail before she answered this letter; but she was always unsatisfactory about catching the mails, and, of late especially, her letters had come very irregularly. The letter she finally did write would, I think, have seemed rather a disappointing one to most husbands with a heart as full of warm love as Charlie's was for her.So little changed was he by those five long years of absence and some time of danger, that it seemed to him as if it were only yesterday that he had been with his wife, and heard her voice, and seen her sweet face; only yesterday he had said good - bye to her, and felt so moved by her beauty that to think of it moved him still, - for her pathetic beauty had touched him more in tears and sorrow even than in joy. He remembered her pain at parting from him, her wish to go with him, as we remember that which is very near to the present hour. The love she had shown him, surpassing far her love for her child, had stilled the grief of parting to him, and made what was deep sorrow at the moment feel afterwards like a sort of rapt and sacred joy.There is one kind of love which has a very holy spirit in it. Like a guardian angel of all that is noblest in the soul, that holiness can go with a man unchanged, unspotted over the whole world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Sixteen-year-old Anselm Andros has several clearly defined roles in his family and they’re ones that he plays very well: he is confidante to his mother, Maria, who at age 15 gave birth to him and so grew up alongside him; he is the confessor to his stepfather Leo, a man haunted by the secrets of his past; and he is also the patient, caring brother to his precocious sister Jasmine. When the political landscape of Malonia starts to shift, Anselm’s ordinary world begins to unravel — all because of the choices Leo and Maria made fifteen years earlier. The voices from the past still echo in the present and shape the lives of the family, especially for Anselm, who is desperate to uncover the secret surrounding his birth. With so much uncertainty at home and in his world, it is more important than ever for Anselm to piece together the past. He must listen to his own voice and acknowledge his fears and desires — whatever the cost.
