Review: The Age of Desire by Jennie Fields
As the Victorian era transition into the ‘modern’ era, women were finally discovering that sex and sexuality could be for their enjoyment, not just a wifely duty performed for the pleasure of their husbands. We see evidence of this shift with the rise of female authorship. Many women started writing real books for women about women and things women cared about or longed for. One of the best known authors of this time was Edith Wharton. Wharton wrote popular and influential novels such a The House of Mirth and The Age of Innocents that addressed issues of class (notably the upper class), manners, and of course love and sexual desire. Like…

Review: Cascade by Maryanne O’Hara
Make way for the modern woman. Small town America saw substantial changes during the Great Depression. People were not just out of jobs and desperate for money, another notable shift was the role of women in the workplace and family. The golden age of traditional, Middle American values were on the way out which left many feeling nostalgic for a simpler time.

In the small, rural Massachusetts town of Cascade, Asa runs a small pharmacy, owns a nice house in town, is well known among the locals as a stand up man, and he has married a…
