Why? Because the ethical issues that face modern society never really change all that much. We might as well lose ourselves in the past. We can assume that something important must have happened in order to have inspired the pages in our hands. That’s why we love to read books written in the past tense. Here’s the thing, though: the remembrance of persons, places, and things past enlightens only because we readily recollect important concepts. When we look out at the world, we seek to understand the phenomena-and as we seek to do that, we quickly realize that nothing can help us other than our memories.

Specific to their time yet unquestionably relevant for women today, The Phantom Glare of Day is a compelling interrogation of who gets to decide what is right and what is wrong.Welcome to the March 2nd stop on the blog tour for The Phantom Glare of Day by M. Passion Bearer tells of Manon, a young lady who falls in love with a beautiful actress after taking a post as a script girl for a film company-and is subsequently confronted with the pettiest kinds of homophobia. Not a month later, she realizes that she is pregnant and must decide whether or not to get an abortion.

She longs for the approval of an older man, so when her ice-skating instructor attempts to take advantage of her, she cannot resist. Mouvements Perpétuels tells of Cäcilia, a young lady shunned by her birth father. When she meets Jarvis, a young man obsessed with avenging all those students who delight in his daily debasement, she resolves to intervene before tragedy unfolds. The Phantom Glare of Day tells of Sophie, a young lady who has lived a sheltered life and consequently has no idea how cruel public school bullying can be. In this trio of novellas, three game young ladies enter into dangerous liaisons that test each one's limits and force them to confront the most heartrending issues facing society in the early twentieth century.
