The main difference is that the homes of Stepford are kept unusually clean by unusually beautiful, and unusually buxom, wives. If you squint you might confuse Stepford with John Updike’s Eastwick, Richard Yates’s Revolutionary Hill Estates, or John Cheever’s Shady Hill. They abandon New York-“the filthy, crowded, crime-ridden, but so-alive city”-for two-point-two acres in Stepford, a “postcard pretty” town with white frame colonial shopfronts and indistinguishable streets with names like Harvest Lane and Short Ridge Road. Joanna and Walter Eberhart move with their two children to the suburbs in the hope of a more comfortable life. ![]() The Stepford Wives has one of the most enduring premises of 20th-century American fiction. And no Stepford husband would ever tolerate a wife with as consuming a personal passion as dressage. They mean to say that he is bland and conformist, but in the context of Ira Levin’s novel, a Stepford husband is an entirely different creature from a Stepford wife: he is conniving, angry, murderous. Yet those who call Mitt a “ Stepford Husband” do so confusedly. ![]() ![]() ![]() They come from faraway places by Carrick Ang They Called Me The Hyacinth Girl by Victor Fernando R. ![]() The Heart of the Rain Tree by Geraldine Choo Tales from the Lonely Tree by Vanessa Ni Qiu Rui ![]() Be entertained by a motley gang of characters both strange and the deranged, uber-rational and supernatural, feathered or plucked in The Ayam Curtain.

The rape did not happen in the "Of Lost Things" episode, and executive producer Maril Davis has revealed why: In the book, Geneva coerced Jamie into sleeping with her, and Jamie ended up losing control and raping her. Season 3 is based on the Voyager novel, and readers knew that Jamie would be sleeping with a woman other than Claire to conceive his son. That said, Outlander has been known to get quite ugly over the years, and the show hasn't shied away from sexual violence. ![]() Outlander is probably best known for telling the grand love story of Claire and Jamie, and the show has already crafted one of the most complex romances of television. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tutorials and Practice Tests for the ACT and SAT Tests LearningExpress ACT® and SAT® Test Preparation Center Login Needed In-Library Use Only ![]() Want 30,000 free ebooks?

Talleyrand-PerigordĬontending for the rights of woman, my main argument is built on this simple principle, that if she be not prepared by education to become the companion of man, she will stop the progress of knowledge and virtue for truth must be common to all, or it will be inefficacious with respect to its influence on general practice. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is this loss from which Sloan is still trying to recover two years later when a precocious pup pops right through her sunroof and all but forces her out of her slump. ![]() In Jimenez’s debut, Sloan lost her fiancé in a horrible accident. Repeat readers of Jimenez’s contemporary fiction will remember Sloan, the best friend of prior protagonist Kristin. It is this type of baggage that the protagonist of Abby Jimenez’s The Happy Ever After Playlist is trying to wrangle at the start of this novel. The kind that leaves you reluctant to open yourself up to anyone else in the future. ![]() While I’m glad that I don’t have any embarrassing past interludes hiding in my closet, just waiting to pop out, I am most thankful that I don’t have the less-commonly discussed type of baggage. Those nights when, after mixing tequila and an empty stomach, you ended up canoodling with a guy who you realized the morning after looks a bit too much like a guest on the Jerry Springer show, and who - you surmise by reviewing a note he left to his roommate on the fridge - doesn’t know the difference between there, they’re, and their. They’re talking about those events you would rather forget. ![]() |
