Becoming May Furlong (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Through war, tragedy, love, and death emerges a woman who refuses to be constrained by expectations, charting her own path amidst the sights and sounds of turn-of-the-century Newfoundland.

May Furlong should have been born a man--at least, according to her beloved brother, Martin. With a surging career and an independent ambition, May continually puts off marriage, much to the chagrin of her family and friends. At the turn of the twentieth century in Newfoundland, such independence is not expected. Driven by her passion and conviction, May forges a new path, defying the role that society would have her accept. But even as she overcomes tragedy to seize the success she craves, will her gut-wrenching choices continue to haunt her forever?

Inspired by real historical figures and the events of their lives that have been nearly forgotten, Becoming May Furlong tells the story of a dynamic woman who lived ahead of her time--defying boundaries, charting her own life course, and making a difference in the lives of others.
