In historical fiction, the time period is an important part of the setting and often of the story itself.<br /><br />Historical fiction may include fictional characters, well-known historical figures or a mixture of the two. Authors of historical fiction usually pay close attention to the details of their stories (settings, clothing, dialogue, etc.) to ensure that they fit the time periods in which the narratives take place.<br /><br />In some historical fiction, famous events appear from points of view not recorded in history, showing historical figures dealing with actual events while depicting them in a way that is not recorded in history. Other times, the historical event or time period complements a story's narrative, forming a framework and background for the characters' lives. Sometimes, historical fiction can be for the most part true, but the names of people and places have been in some way altered.<br /><br />As this is fiction, artistic license is permitted in regard to presentation and subject matter, so long as it does not deviate in significant ways from established history. If events should deviate significantly, the story may then fall into the genre of <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/alternate-history" rel="nofollow noopener">alternate history</a>, which is known for speculating on what could have happened if a significant historical event had gone differently. On a similar note, events occurring in historical fiction must adhere to the laws of physics. Stories that extend into the magical or fantastic are often considered historical fantasy.<br /><br />See also <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/historical" rel="nofollow noopener">historical</a> and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/historical-romance" rel="nofollow noopener">historical romance</a>.</span> <a data-text-id="14902527329494341615" href="#" onclick="swapContent($(this));; return false;">...more</a> </div> <br/> <div class="coverBigBox clearFloats bigBox" show_header="true"><div class="h2Container gradientHeaderContainer"><h2 class="brownBackground"><a href="/genres/new_releases/historical-fiction">New Releases Tagged "Historical Fiction"</a></h2></div><div class="bigBoxBody"><div class="bigBoxContent containerWithHeaderContent"> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover576821_203578730"> <a href="/book/show/203578730-a-song-to-drown-rivers"><img alt="A Song to Drown Rivers" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1727713627l/203578730._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> //<![CDATA[ function submitShelfLink(unique_id, book_id, shelf_id, shelf_name, submit_form, exclusive) { var checkbox_id = 'shelf_name_' + unique_id + '_' + shelf_id; var element = document.getElementById(checkbox_id) var checked = element.checked if (checked && exclusive) { // can't uncheck a radio by clicking it! return } if(document.getElementById("savingMessage")){ Element.show('savingMessage') } var element_id = 'shelfInDropdownName_' + unique_id + '_' + shelf_id; Element.update(element_id, "saving..."); if (submit_form) { Element.hide('shelfDropdown_' + unique_id) var form = document.getElementById('addBookForm' + book_id) if (form) { form.shelf.value = shelf_name form.onsubmit() } } else { var action = checked ?

When Xishi draws the attention of the famous young military advisor, Fanli, he presents her with a rare opportunity: to use her beauty as a weapon. One that could topple the rival neighboring kingdom of Wu, improve the lives of her people, and avenge her sister’s murder. All she has to do is infiltrate the enemy palace as a spy, seduce their immoral king, and weaken them from within.\n\nTrained by Fanli in everything from classical instruments to concealing emotion, Xishi hones her beauty into the perfect blade. But she knows Fanli can see through every deception she masters, the attraction between them burning away any falsehoods.\n\nOnce inside the enemy palace, Xishi finds herself under the hungry gaze of the king’s advisors while the king himself shows her great affection. Despite his gentleness, a brutality lurks and Xishi knows she can never let her guard down. But the higher Xishi climbs in the Wu court, the farther she and Fanli have to fall—and if she is unmasked as a traitor, she will bring both kingdoms down.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"6577123453687749420\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover576821_203578730').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover576821_203578730').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover576821_203578730').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover576821_203578730').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover576821_203579107"> <a href="/book/show/203579107-the-love-elixir-of-augusta-stern"><img alt="The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1705086569l/203579107._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover576821_203579107'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203579107-the-love-elixir-of-augusta-stern?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/14056202.Lynda_Cohen_Loigman\">Lynda Cohen Loigman<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.15 avg rating — 7,469 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer9091041835397656837\">It's never too late for new beginnings.\n\nOn the cusp of turning eighty, newly retired pharmacist Augusta Stern is adrift.

When she relocates to Rallentando Springs—an active senior community in southern Florida—she unexpectedly crosses paths with Irving Rivkin, the delivery boy from her father’s old pharmacy—and the man who broke her heart sixty years earlier.\n\nAs a teenager growing up in 1920’s Brooklyn, Augusta’s role model was her father, Solomon Stern, the trusted owner of the local pharmacy and the neighborhood expert on every ailment. But when Augusta’s mother dies and Great Aunt Esther moves in, Augusta can’t help but be drawn to Esther’s curious methods. As a healer herself, Esther offers Solomon’s customers her own advice—unconventional remedies ranging from homemade chicken soup to a mysterious array of powders and potions.\n\nAs Augusta prepares for pharmacy college, she is torn between loyalty to her father and fascination with her great aunt, all while navigating a budding but complicated relationship with Irving. Desperate for clarity, she impulsively uses Esther’s most potent elixir with disastrous consequences. Disillusioned and alone, Augusta vows to reject Esther’s enchantments forever.\n\nSixty years later, confronted with Irving, Augusta is still haunted by the mistakes of her past. What happened all those years ago and how did her plan go so spectacularly wrong? Did Irving ever truly love her or was he simply playing a part? And can Augusta reclaim the magic of her youth before it’s too late?<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"9091041835397656837\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover576821_203579107').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover576821_203579107').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover576821_203579107').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover576821_203579107').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover576821_203747795"> <a href="/book/show/203747795-the-stone-witch-of-florence"><img alt="The Stone Witch of Florence" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1709395289l/203747795._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover576821_203747795'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203747795-the-stone-witch-of-florence?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Stone Witch of Florence<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/47365465.Anna_Rasche\">Anna Rasche<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.68 avg rating — 1,566 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer5259648917498977084\">Ancient sorcery.

Lila Pereira is two years old when her angry, abusive father has her mother committed to an asylum. Lila never sees her mother again. Three decades later, having mustered everything she has—brains, charm, talent, blond hair—Lila rises to the pinnacle of American media as the powerful, brilliant executive editor of The Washington Globe. Lila unapologetically prioritizes her career, leaving the rearing of her daughters to her generous husband, Joe. He doesn’t mind—until he does.\n\nBut Grace, their youngest daughter, feels abandoned. She wishes her mother would attend PTA meetings, not White House correspondents’ dinners. As she grows up, she cannot shake her resentment. She wants out from under Lila’s shadow, yet the more she resists, the more Lila seems to shape her life. Grace becomes a successful reporter, even publishing a bestselling book about her mother. In the process of writing it, she realizes how little she knows about her own family. Did Lila’s mother, Grace’s grandmother, die in that asylum? Is refusal to look back the only way to create a future? How can you ever be yourself, Grace wonders, if you don’t know where you came from?\n\nSpanning generations, and populated by complex, unforgettable characters, Like Mother, Like Mother is an exhilarating, portrait of family, marriage, ambition, power, the stories we inherit, and the lies we tell to become the people we believe we’re meant to be.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"7149078179891018894\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover576821_203164564').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover576821_203164564').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover576821_203164564').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover576821_203164564').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover576821_206777707"> <a href="/book/show/206777707-strange-beasts"><img alt="Strange Beasts" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1711179024l/206777707.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover576821_206777707'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/206777707-strange-beasts?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Strange Beasts<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/7008098.Susan_J_Morris\">Susan J.

And at the same time, baffling messages and codes arrive on their doorstep while a menacing inspector lurks outside the gates of the Bletchley mansion. Are the messages truly for them, or are they a trap? Could the riddles of Enigma and their mother\'s disappearance be somehow connected? Jakob and Lizzie must find a way to work together as they race to decipher clues which unravel a shocking puzzle that presents the ultimate challenge: How long must a secret be kept?<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"1005456020462817891\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover576821_205064698').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover576821_205064698').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover576821_205064698').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover576821_205064698').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover576821_199793426"> <a href="/book/show/199793426-polostan"><img alt="Polostan (Bomb Light, #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1714031079l/199793426._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover576821_199793426'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/199793426-polostan?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Polostan (Bomb Light, #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/545.Neal_Stephenson\">Neal Stephenson<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.98 avg rating — 1,354 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer15740999644556096098\">The first installment in Neal Stephenson’s three-part Bomb Light cycle, Polostan follows the early life of the enigmatic Dawn Rae Bjornberg.

The premonitions and fainting spells she has endured since childhood are getting worse, and Nena worries she’ll end up like the scary old curandera down the street. Nena prays for help, and when the mysterious Sister Benedicta arrives late one night, Nena follows her across the borders of space and time. In colonial Mexico, Nena grows into her power, finding love and learning that magic always comes with a price.\n\nIn the present day, Nena’s grandniece, Marta, balances a struggling legal aid practice with motherhood and the care of the now ninety-three-year-old Nena. When Marta agrees to help search for a daughter Nena left in the past, the two forge a fierce connection.

Most of us, without looking far, could find something that had harmed us, and oppressed us, and unfairly held us back. I tried not to dwell on it, thought it healthier not to, though I’d lived my short life so far in a chaos of privilege and prejudice.\n\nDave Win, the son of a British dressmaker and a Burmese man he’s never met, is thirteen years old when he gets a scholarship to a top boarding school. With the doors of elite English society cracked open for him, heady new possibilities lie before Dave, even as he is exposed to the envy and viciousness of his wealthy classmates, above all that of Giles Hadlow, whose worldly parents sponsored the scholarship and who find in Dave someone they can more easily nurture than their brutish son.\n\nOur Evenings follows Dave from the 1960s on—through the possibilities that remained open for him, and others that proved to be illusory: as a working-class brown child in a decidedly white institution; a young man discovering queer culture and experiencing his first, formative love affairs; a talented but often overlooked actor, on the road with an experimental theater company; and an older Londoner whose late-in-life marriage fills his days with an unexpected sense of happiness and security.\n\nMoving in and out of Dave’s orbit are the Hadlows. Estranged from his parents, who remain close to Dave, Giles directs his privilege into a career as a powerful right-wing politician, whose reactionary vision for England pokes perilous holes in Dave’s stability. And as the novel accelerates towards the present day, the two men’s lives and values will finally collide in a cruel shock of violence.\n\nThis is “one of our most gifted writers” (The Boston Globe) sweeping readers from our past to our present through the beauty, pain, and joy of one deeply observed life.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"8411577632589502131\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover576821_209891406').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover576821_209891406').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover576821_209891406').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover576821_209891406').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover576821_199793688"> <a href="/book/show/199793688-women-s-hotel"><img alt="Women's Hotel" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1711069954l/199793688._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover576821_199793688'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/199793688-women-s-hotel?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Women's Hotel<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/18433804.Daniel_M_Lavery\">Daniel M.

There’s Katherine, the first-floor manager, lightly cynical and more than lightly suggestible. There’s Lucianne, a workshy party girl caught between the love of comfort and an instinctive bridling at convention, Kitty the sponger, Ruth the failed hairdresser, and Pauline the typesetter. And there’s Stephen, the daytime elevator operator and part-time Cooper Union student.\n\nThe residents give up breakfast, juggle competing jobs at rival presses, abandon their children, get laid off from the telephone company, attempt to retrain as stenographers, all with the shared awareness that their days as an institution are numbered, and they’d better make the most of it while it lasts.\n\nAs trenchant as the novels of Dawn Powell and Rona Jaffe and as immersive as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Lessons in Chemistry, Women’s Hotel is a modern classic—and it is very, very funny.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"6671334255676182559\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover576821_199793688').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover576821_199793688').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover576821_199793688').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover576821_199793688').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover576821_203751835"> <a href="/book/show/203751835-the-specimen"><img alt="The Specimen" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1714083387l/203751835._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover576821_203751835'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203751835-the-specimen?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Specimen<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/6917410.Jaima_Fixsen\">Jaima Fixsen<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.14 avg rating — 342 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer15635992910226130913\">Walk carefully, lest you become a part of Dr. Burnett's collection…\n\n1826.

Isobel Tait finds herself, by chance, staring at a tiny human heart floating in a jar. It should be of little consequence; Dr. Burnett is renowned for his collection of oddities and medical specimens, and this, a juvenile heart with a damaged mitral valve, is not the strangest thing on display. Except that the condition is rare, and that Isobel\'s young son, who has been missing for months, suffered from the ailment. \n\nA phantom pulse beats in Isobel\'s ears. She knows something here isn\'t right.\n\nMissing persons cases are all too common in Edinburgh, where people simply vanish like mist. But Burnett is obsessed with his specimens – how far would he go to acquire a new one? Determined to investigate, Isobel joins his staff as the keeper of his collection. What she\'ll unearth, though, is far worse than any of her nightmares…\n\nBased on true crimes, The Specimen is a mesmerizing story about one woman\'s search for truth and vengeance in the darkest of places—where the deadliest secrets lie hidden in plain sight, on a freshly dusted shelf.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"15635992910226130913\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover576821_203751835').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover576821_203751835').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover576821_203751835').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover576821_203751835').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover576821_206101580"> <a href="/book/show/206101580-the-great-when"><img alt="The Great When (The Long London Quintet, #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1714651357l/206101580._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover576821_206101580'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/206101580-the-great-when?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Great When (The Long London Quintet, #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/3961.Alan_Moore\">Alan Moore<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.73 avg rating — 502 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer17220402356389588670\">From the New York Times bestselling author and legendary storyteller Alan Moore, the first book in an enthralling new fantasy series about murder, magic, and madness in post-WWII London.\n\nDennis Knuckleyard is a hapless eighteen-year-old who works and lives in a second-hand bookstore.

One day, his boss and landlady, Coffin Ada, sends him to retrieve some rare books, one of which, Dennis discovers, should not exist. A London Walk by Rev. Thomas Hampole is a fictitious book that appears in a real novel by another author. Yet A London Walk is physically there in his hands, nonetheless.\n\nCoffin Ada tells Dennis the book comes from the other London, the Great When, a version of the city that is beyond time. In the Great When, epochs blend and realities and unrealities blur, while concepts such as Crime and Poetry are incarnated as wondrous and terrible beings. But, Coffin Ada tells Dennis, if he does not return the book to this other London, he will be killed.\n\nSo begins Dennis\' adventure in Long London. Delving deep into the city\'s occult underbelly and tarrying with an eccentric cast of sorcerers, gangsters, and murderers, Dennis finds himself at the center of an explosive series of events that may endanger both Londons.\n\nMystical, hilarious, and magnificently imagined, The Great When is an unforgettable introduction to the consciousness-altering world of Long London.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"17220402356389588670\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover576821_206101580').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover576821_206101580').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover576821_206101580').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover576821_206101580').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover576821_203751793"> <a href="/book/show/203751793-the-secret-war-of-julia-child"><img alt="The Secret War of Julia Child" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1710537672l/203751793.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover576821_203751793'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203751793-the-secret-war-of-julia-child?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Secret War of Julia Child<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/953770.Diana_R_Chambers\">Diana R.

The Secret War of Julia Child traces Julia\'s transformation from ambitious Pasadena blue blood to Washington, DC file clerk, to head of General "Wild Bill" Donovan\'s secret File Registry as part of the Office of Strategic Services. \n\nThe wartime journey takes her to the Far East, to Asia\'s remote frontlines of then-Ceylon, India, and China, where she finds purpose, adventure, self-knowledge – and love with mapmaker Paul Child. The spotlight has rarely shone on this fascinating period of time in the life of ("I\'m not a spy") Julia Child, and this lyrical story allows us to explore the unlikely world of a woman in World War II spy station who has no idea of the impact she\'ll eventually impart.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"1755819862209054277\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover576821_203751793').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover576821_203751793').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover576821_203751793').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover576821_203751793').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover576821_63242183"> <a href="/book/show/63242183-much-ado-about-margaret"><img alt="Much Ado About Margaret" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1684815910l/63242183.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover576821_63242183'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63242183-much-ado-about-margaret?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Much Ado About Margaret<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/4051426.Madeleine_Roux\">Madeleine Roux<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.47 avg rating — 253 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer12824553115307299111\">Madeleine Roux’s next season in Regency England follows a rebellious writer and the man who risks everything to publish her.\n\nIn a world where women are expected to be demure and dainty, Margaret Arden would much rather be passionate and daring like the characters in her novel.

The idyllic life at Mosely Cottage with her two younger sisters and mother is fine, but Margaret knows there’s so much more to achieve. After a particularly brutal rejection letter from a renowned publisher, Margaret fears the worst; She’ll amount to nothing more than what society expects of her. That’s until her cousin\'s glamorous wedding masquerade brings her out of her stupor and onto a collision course with scandal, notoriety, and even love.\n\nCaptain Bridger Dryden is starting over after years of bloody action fighting for his country. Now home and struggling with all he’s seen and experienced; Bridger is turning to his love of books as a new partner at Dockarty & Dryden publishing. So when he journeys to Pressmore Estate for the wedding of his dearest friend, and stumbles upon loose pages of an astonishing book, Bridger knows he must publish it. But upon meeting the author, Bridger is stunned to discover that he is in fact she , and his publisher has already rejected her.\n\nWhile Bridger is keen to gain her trust and rescind the initial rejection, Margaret can’t help but be skeptical of his intentions. He may be smart, witty, and handsome, but what does he have to gain from taking such a risk? Sparks fly between the two, just as the wedding of the season starts to descend into chaos when a masked dance leads to a case of mistaken identities. But undeniable chemistry has a way of defying such obstacles. . .<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"12824553115307299111\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 });

As a midwife and healer, she is privy to much of what goes on behind closed doors in Hallowell. Her diary is a record of every birth and death, crime and debacle that unfolds in the close-knit community. Months earlier, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town’s most respected gentlemen—one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion, declaring the death to be an accident, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own.\n\nOver the course of one winter, as the trial nears, and whispers and prejudices mount, Martha doggedly pursues the truth. Her diary soon lands at the center of the scandal, implicating those she loves, and compelling Martha to decide where her own loyalties lie.\n\nClever, layered, and subversive, Ariel Lawhon’s newest offering introduces an unsung heroine who refused to accept anything less than justice at a time when women were considered best seen and not heard. The Frozen River is a thrilling, tense, and tender story about a remarkable woman who left an unparalleled legacy yet remains nearly forgotten to this day.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"17530940280004838995\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_112975658').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_112975658').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_112975658').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_112975658').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover941491_65678550"> <a href="/book/show/65678550-the-heaven-earth-grocery-store"><img alt="The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1685350945l/65678550.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover941491_65678550'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/65678550-the-heaven-earth-grocery-store?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/11728.James_McBride\">James McBride<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.97 avg rating — 233,590 ratings<\/span> — published 2023\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer1036650579663383029\">In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new housing development, the last thing they expected to uncover was a human skeleton.

Who the skeleton was and how it got buried there were just two of the long-held secrets that had been kept for decades by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side, sharing ambitions and sorrows. \n\nChicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, which served the neighborhood\'s quirky collection of blacks and European immigrants, helped by her husband, Moshe, a Romanian-born theater owner who integrated the town\'s first dance hall. When the state came looking for a deaf black child, claiming that the boy needed to be institutionalized, Chicken Hill\'s residents—roused by Chona\'s kindess and the courage of a local black worker named Nate Timblin—banded together to keep the boy safe.\n\nAs the novel unfolds, it becomes clear how much the people of Chicken Hill have to struggle to survive at the margins of white Christian America and how damaging bigotry, hypocrisy, and deceit can be to a community. When the truth is revealed about the skeleton, the boy, and the part the town’s establishment played in both, McBride shows that it is love and community—heaven and earth—that ultimately sustain us.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"1036650579663383029\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_65678550').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_65678550').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_65678550').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_65678550').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover941491_55404546"> <a href="/book/show/55404546-malibu-rising"><img alt="Malibu Rising" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1618293107l/55404546.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover941491_55404546'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55404546-malibu-rising?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Malibu Rising<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/6572605.Taylor_Jenkins_Reid\">Taylor Jenkins Reid<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.03 avg rating — 1,129,876 ratings<\/span> — published 2021\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer12930383127657120492\">Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer.

But over the course of twenty-four hours, their lives will change forever. \n\nMalibu: August, 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together, the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer, Mick Riva.\n\nThe only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth.\n\nJay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there.\n\nAnd Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone.\n\nBy midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come bubbling to the surface.\n\nMalibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of a family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from the people who made them... and what they will leave behind.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"12930383127657120492\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_55404546').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_55404546').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_55404546').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_55404546').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover941491_127280062"> <a href="/book/show/127280062-ruthless-vows"><img alt="Ruthless Vows (Letters of Enchantment, #2)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1684911482l/127280062.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover941491_127280062'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/127280062-ruthless-vows?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Ruthless Vows (Letters of Enchantment, #2)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/14926516.Rebecca_Ross\">Rebecca Ross<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.03 avg rating — 284,462 ratings<\/span> — published 2023\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer13159141383760060450\">The epic conclusion to the intensely romantic and beautifully written story that started in Divine Rivals.\n\nTwo weeks have passed since Iris Winnow returned home bruised and heartbroken from the front, but the war is far from over.

Roman is missing, and the city of Oath continues to dwell in a state of disbelief and ignorance. When Iris and Attie are given another chance to report on Dacre’s movements, they both take the opportunity and head westward once more despite the danger, knowing it’s only a matter of time before the conflict reaches a city that’s unprepared and fracturing beneath the chancellor’s reign.\n\nSince waking below in Dacre’s realm, Roman cannot remember his past. But given the reassurance that his memories will return in time, Roman begins to write articles for Dacre, uncertain of his place in the greater scheme of the war. When a strange letter arrives by wardrobe door, Roman is first suspicious, then intrigued. As he strikes up a correspondence with his mysterious pen pal, Roman will soon have to make a decision: to stand with Dacre or betray the god who healed him. And as the days grow darker, inevitably drawing Roman and Iris closer together…the two of them will risk their very hearts and futures to change the tides of the war.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"13159141383760060450\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_127280062').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_127280062').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_127280062').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_127280062').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover941491_181110045"> <a href="/book/show/181110045-the-briar-club"><img alt="The Briar Club" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1703605988l/181110045.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover941491_181110045'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/181110045-the-briar-club?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Briar Club<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/2974095.Kate_Quinn\">Kate Quinn<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.31 avg rating — 57,092 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer10722142718770457593\">A haunting and powerful story of female friendships and secrets in a Washington, D.C. boardinghouse during the McCarthy era. \n\nWashington, D.C., 1950.

But when the lovely, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; police officer’s daughter Nora, who is entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Bea, whose career has ended along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous, gung-ho Arlene, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare. \n\nGrace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears apart the house, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: Who is the true enemy in their midst?<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"10722142718770457593\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_181110045').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_181110045').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_181110045').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_181110045').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover941491_123036004"> <a href="/book/show/123036004-the-berry-pickers"><img alt="The Berry Pickers" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1677605623l/123036004.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover941491_123036004'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123036004-the-berry-pickers?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Berry Pickers<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/29566882.Amanda_Peters\">Amanda Peters<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.13 avg rating — 130,803 ratings<\/span> — published 2023\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer9446318221453855529\">A four-year-old Mi’kmaq girl goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine, sparking a tragic mystery that haunts the survivors, unravels a community, and remains unsolved for nearly fifty years.\n\nJuly 1962.

A Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, four-year-old Ruthie, the family’s youngest child, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother, Joe, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain distraught by his sister’s disappearance for years to come. \n\nIn Maine, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret. \n\nFor readers of The Vanishing Half and Woman of Light, this showstopping debut by a vibrant new voice in fiction is a riveting novel about the search for truth, the shadow of trauma, and the persistence of love across time.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"9446318221453855529\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_123036004').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_123036004').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_123036004').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_123036004').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover941491_198281740"> <a href="/book/show/198281740-the-life-impossible"><img alt="The Life Impossible" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1707411860l/198281740._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover941491_198281740'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/198281740-the-life-impossible?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Life Impossible<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/76360.Matt_Haig\">Matt Haig<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.52 avg rating — 36,576 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer17162260996351168386\">The remarkable next novel from Matt Haig, the author of #1 New York Times bestseller The Midnight Library, with more than nine million copies sold worldwide\n\n“What looks like magic is simply a part of life we don’t understand yet…”\n\nWhen retired math teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText17162260996351168386\" style=\"display:none\">The remarkable next novel from Matt Haig, the author of #1 New York Times bestseller The Midnight Library, with more than nine million copies sold worldwide\n\n“What looks like magic is simply a part of life we don’t understand yet…”\n\nWhen retired math teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on a Mediterranean island by a long-lost friend, curiosity gets the better of her.

His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves.\n\nThe story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother. The two wealthy siblings are thrown back into the poverty their parents had escaped from and find that all they have to count on is one another. It is this unshakable bond between them that both saves their lives and thwarts their futures.\n\nSet over the course of five decades, The Dutch House is a dark fairy tale about two smart people who cannot overcome their past. Despite every outward sign of success, Danny and Maeve are only truly comfortable when they’re together. Throughout their lives, they return to the well-worn story of what they’ve lost with humor and rage. But when at last they’re forced to confront the people who left them behind, the relationship between an indulged brother and his ever-protective sister is finally tested.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"4580009805903085569\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_44318414').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_44318414').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_44318414').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_44318414').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover941491_53288434"> <a href="/book/show/53288434-the-lost-apothecary"><img alt="The Lost Apothecary" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1593013000l/53288434.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover941491_53288434'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53288434-the-lost-apothecary?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Lost Apothecary<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/19788573.Sarah_Penner\">Sarah Penner<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.75 avg rating — 411,586 ratings<\/span> — published 2021\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer4604813059756633592\">A female apothecary secretly dispenses poisons to liberate women from the men who have wronged them - setting three lives across centuries on a dangerous collision course.\n\nRule #1: The poison must never be used to harm another woman.\nRule #2: The names of the murderer and her victim must be recorde<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText4604813059756633592\" style=\"display:none\">A female apothecary secretly dispenses poisons to liberate women from the men who have wronged them - setting three lives across centuries on a dangerous collision course.\n\nRule #1: The poison must never be used to harm another woman.\nRule #2: The names of the murderer and her victim must be recorded in the apothecary’s register.\n\nOne cold February evening in 1791, at the back of a dark London alley in a hidden apothecary shop, Nella awaits her newest customer. Once a respected healer, Nella now uses her knowledge for a darker purpose - selling well-disguised poisons to desperate women who would kill to be free of the men in their lives. But when her new patron turns out to be a precocious twelve-year-old named Eliza Fanning, an unexpected friendship sets in motion a string of events that jeopardizes Nella’s world and threatens to expose the many women whose names are written in her register.\n\nIn present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, reeling from the discovery of her husband’s infidelity. When she finds an old apothecary vial near the river Thames, she can’t resist investigating, only to realize she’s found a link to the unsolved “apothecary murders” that haunted London over two centuries ago. As she deepens her search, Caroline’s life collides with Nella’s and Eliza’s in a stunning twist of fate - and not everyone will survive.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"4604813059756633592\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_53288434').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_53288434').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_53288434').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_53288434').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover941491_52735921"> <a href="/book/show/52735921-kingdom-of-the-wicked"><img alt="Kingdom of the Wicked (Kingdom of the Wicked, #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1578938260l/52735921._SX318_SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover941491_52735921'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52735921-kingdom-of-the-wicked?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Kingdom of the Wicked (Kingdom of the Wicked, #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/14584166.Kerri_Maniscalco\">Kerri Maniscalco<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.88 avg rating — 311,249 ratings<\/span> — published 2020\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer16595942057893586757\">Two sisters.\nOne brutal murder.\nA quest for vengeance that will unleash Hell itself...\nAnd an intoxicating romance.\n\nEmilia and her twin sister Vittoria are streghe - witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution.

As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla is the girl who has everything—beauty, wealth, and the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses—but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets. Imperious self-made Mab, product of East-End London poverty, works the legendary code-breaking machines as she conceals old wounds and looks for a socially advantageous husband. Both Osla and Mab are quick to see the potential in local village spinster Beth, whose shyness conceals a brilliant facility with puzzles, and soon Beth spreads her wings as one of the Park’s few female cryptanalysts. But war, loss, and the impossible pressure of secrecy will tear the three apart. \n\n1947. As the royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip whips post-war Britain into a fever, three friends-turned-enemies are reunited by a mysterious encrypted letter—the key to which lies buried in the long-ago betrayal that destroyed their friendship and left one of them confined to an asylum. A mysterious traitor has emerged from the shadows of their Bletchley Park past, and now Osla, Mab, and Beth must resurrect their old alliance and crack one last code together. But each petal they remove from the rose code brings danger—and their true enemy...<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"14954784565538355855\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_53914938').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_53914938').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_53914938').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_53914938').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover941491_53152636"> <a href="/book/show/53152636-mexican-gothic"><img alt="Mexican Gothic" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1607462569l/53152636._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover941491_53152636'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53152636-mexican-gothic?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Mexican Gothic<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/4088550.Silvia_Moreno_Garcia\">Silvia Moreno-Garcia<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p6\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p0\"><\/span><\/span> 3.67 avg rating — 389,182 ratings<\/span> — published 2020\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer804682725838382753\">After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside.

She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. \n \nNoemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemí’s dreams with visions of blood and doom.\n \nHer only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. \n \nAnd Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"804682725838382753\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_53152636').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_53152636').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_53152636').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_53152636').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover941491_199798217"> <a href="/book/show/199798217-the-lion-women-of-tehran"><img alt="The Lion Women of Tehran" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1719409771l/199798217._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover941491_199798217'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/199798217-the-lion-women-of-tehran?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Lion Women of Tehran<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/6547914.Marjan_Kamali\">Marjan Kamali<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.49 avg rating — 25,853 ratings<\/span> — published 2024\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer4629674535896381534\">From the nationally bestselling author of the “powerful, heartbreaking” (Shelf Awareness) The Stationery Shop, a heartfelt, epic new novel of friendship, betrayal, and redemption set against three transformative decades in Tehran, Iran.\n\nIn 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort u<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText4629674535896381534\" style=\"display:none\">From the nationally bestselling author of the “powerful, heartbreaking” (Shelf Awareness) The Stationery Shop, a heartfelt, epic new novel of friendship, betrayal, and redemption set against three transformative decades in Tehran, Iran.\n\nIn 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances, Ellie dreams of a friend to alleviate her isolation.\n\nLuckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind, passionate girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions for becoming “lion women.”\n\nBut their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later, however, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives.\n\nTogether, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences.\n\nWritten with Marjan Kamali’s signature “evocative, devastating, and hauntingly beautiful” (Whitney Scharer, author of The Age of Light) prose, The Lion Women of Tehran is a sweeping exploration of how profoundly we are shaped by those we meet when we are young, and the way love and courage transforms our lives.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"4629674535896381534\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover941491_199798217').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover941491_199798217').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover941491_199798217').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover941491_199798217').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="moreLink"> <a class="actionLink" href="/genres/most_read/historical-fiction">More most read this week...</a> </div> <div class="clear"></div></div></div><div class="bigBoxBottom"></div></div> <div class=" clearFloats bigBox"><div class="h2Container gradientHeaderContainer"><h2 class="brownBackground"><a href="/list/show_tag/historical-fiction">Lists</a></h2></div><div class="bigBoxBody"><div class="bigBoxContent containerWithHeaderContent"> <div class="listRowsFull"> <div class="row" id="topRow"> <div class="cell"> <div class="listImgs"> <a href="/list/show/5490.YA_Books_Far_Better_than_Twilight"><img alt="The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins" title="The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1586722975l/2767052._SX98_.jpg" /></a><a href="/list/show/5490.YA_Books_Far_Better_than_Twilight"><img alt="Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins" title="Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1586722941l/6148028._SX98_.jpg" /></a><a href="/list/show/5490.YA_Books_Far_Better_than_Twilight"><img alt="Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K.

The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will be busier still.\n\nBy her brother\'s graveside, Liesel\'s life is changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Gravedigger\'s Handbook, left behind there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her accordian-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor\'s wife\'s library, wherever there are books to be found.\n\nBut these are dangerous times. When Liesel\'s foster family hides a Jew in their basement, Liesel\'s world is both opened up, and closed down.\n\nIn superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.\n\n(Note: this title was not published as YA fiction)<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"14309229394411522918\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover760335_19063').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover760335_19063').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover760335_19063').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover760335_19063').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover760335_18143977"> <a href="/book/show/18143977-all-the-light-we-cannot-see"><img alt="All the Light We Cannot See" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1451445646l/18143977.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover760335_18143977'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18143977-all-the-light-we-cannot-see?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">All the Light We Cannot See<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/28186.Anthony_Doerr\">Anthony Doerr<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.31 avg rating — 1,777,805 ratings<\/span> — published 2014\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer2343243579440447775\">Marie-Laure lives in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where her father works.

She doesn’t believe that the Nazis will invade France…but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne’s home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.\n\nVianne’s sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gaëtan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can…completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"10765401624999631805\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover760335_21853621').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover760335_21853621').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover760335_21853621').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover760335_21853621').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover760335_10964"> <a href="/book/show/10964.Outlander"><img alt="Outlander (Outlander, #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1659086907l/10964._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover760335_10964'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10964.Outlander?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Outlander (Outlander, #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/3617.Diana_Gabaldon\">Diana Gabaldon<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.26 avg rating — 1,092,392 ratings<\/span> — published 1991\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer42571518133649265\">The year is 1945.

Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743.\n \nHurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart.

She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.\n\nAibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.\n\nMinny, Aibileen\'s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody\'s business, but she can\'t mind her tongue, so she\'s lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.\n\nSeemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.\n\nIn pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women, mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends, view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don\'t. \n\n\nLibrarian\'s note: An alternate cover edition can be found here<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"3257200354168408271\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover760335_4667024').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover760335_4667024').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover760335_4667024').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover760335_4667024').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover760335_5043"> <a href="/book/show/5043.The_Pillars_of_the_Earth"><img alt="The Pillars of the Earth (Kingsbridge, #1)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1576956100l/5043.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover760335_5043'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5043.The_Pillars_of_the_Earth?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Pillars of the Earth (Kingsbridge, #1)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/3447.Ken_Follett\">Ken Follett<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.34 avg rating — 784,793 ratings<\/span> — published 1989\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer2734839962530296054\">Ken Follett is known worldwide as the master of split-second suspense, but his most beloved and bestselling book tells the magnificent tale of a twelfth-century monk driven to do the seemingly impossible: build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has ever known.\n\nEverything readers expect from F<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText2734839962530296054\" style=\"display:none\">Ken Follett is known worldwide as the master of split-second suspense, but his most beloved and bestselling book tells the magnificent tale of a twelfth-century monk driven to do the seemingly impossible: build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has ever known.\n\nEverything readers expect from Follett is here: intrigue, fast-paced action, and passionate romance. But what makes The Pillars of the Earth extraordinary is the time the twelfth century; the place feudal England; and the subject the building of a glorious cathedral. Follett has re-created the crude, flamboyant England of the Middle Ages in every detail. The vast forests, the walled towns, the castles, and the monasteries become a familiar landscape. \n\nAgainst this richly imagined and intricately interwoven backdrop, filled with the ravages of war and the rhythms of daily life, the master storyteller draws the reader irresistibly into the intertwined lives of his characters into their dreams, their labors, and their loves: Tom, the master builder; Aliena, the ravishingly beautiful noblewoman; Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge; Jack, the artist in stone; and Ellen, the woman of the forest who casts a terrifying curse. From humble stonemason to imperious monarch, each character is brought vividly to life.\n\nThe building of the cathedral, with the almost eerie artistry of the unschooled stonemasons, is the center of the drama. Around the site of the construction, Follett weaves a story of betrayal, revenge, and love, which begins with the public hanging of an innocent man and ends with the humiliation of a king.\n\nFor the TV tie-in edition with the same ISBN go to this Alternate Cover Edition\n<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"2734839962530296054\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover760335_5043').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover760335_5043').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover760335_5043').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover760335_5043').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover760335_32620332"> <a href="/book/show/32620332-the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo"><img alt="The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1664458703l/32620332._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover760335_32620332'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32620332-the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/6572605.Taylor_Jenkins_Reid\">Taylor Jenkins Reid<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.41 avg rating — 3,403,191 ratings<\/span> — published 2017\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer10075235965688474364\">Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life.

But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?\n\nMonique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.\n\nSummoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story nears its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"10075235965688474364\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover760335_32620332').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover760335_32620332').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover760335_32620332').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover760335_32620332').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover760335_929"> <a href="/book/show/929.Memoirs_of_a_Geisha"><img alt="Memoirs of a Geisha" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1409595968l/929.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover760335_929'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/929.Memoirs_of_a_Geisha?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">Memoirs of a Geisha<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/614.Arthur_Golden\">Arthur Golden<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.15 avg rating — 2,039,731 ratings<\/span> — published 1997\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer774425272604626393\">A literary sensation and runaway bestseller, this brilliant novel presents with seamless authenticity and exquisite lyricism the true confessions of one of Japan's most celebrated geisha.\n\nIn "Memoirs of a Geisha," we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl's virginity is auction<\/span>\n <span id=\"freeText774425272604626393\" style=\"display:none\">A literary sensation and runaway bestseller, this brilliant novel presents with seamless authenticity and exquisite lyricism the true confessions of one of Japan\'s most celebrated geisha.\n\nIn "Memoirs of a Geisha," we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl\'s virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love is scorned as illusion.

Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers." January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she\'s never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb...\n\nAs Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends—and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society—born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island—boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all.\n\nJuliet begins a remarkable correspondence with the society\'s members, learning about their island, their taste in books, and the impact the recent German occupation has had on their lives. Captivated by their stories, she sets sail for Guernsey, and what she finds will change her forever.\n\nWritten with warmth and humor as a series of letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises and of finding connection in the most surprising ways.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"12396713940947861315\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'rightMiddle', hook: { tip: 'rightMiddle', target: 'leftMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover760335_39832183').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover760335_39832183').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover760335_39832183').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover760335_39832183').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="coverRow "> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover760335_37470"> <a href="/book/show/37470.The_Other_Boleyn_Girl"><img alt="The Other Boleyn Girl (The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels, #9)" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1355932638l/37470.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover760335_37470'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37470.The_Other_Boleyn_Girl?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Other Boleyn Girl (The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels, #9)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/9987.Philippa_Gregory\">Philippa Gregory<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.08 avg rating — 503,536 ratings<\/span> — published 2001\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer13750084896816069241\">This is an alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780743227445\n\nTwo sisters competing for the greatest prize: The love of a king\n\nWhen Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII.

He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant—and that her lover is married—she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son\'s powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations. \n\nRichly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan\'s finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee\'s complex and passionate characters—strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis—survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"11964148286580355352\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover760335_34051011').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover760335_34051011').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover760335_34051011').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover760335_34051011').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover760335_2657"> <a href="/book/show/2657.To_Kill_a_Mockingbird"><img alt="To Kill a Mockingbird" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1553383690l/2657.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover760335_2657'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2657.To_Kill_a_Mockingbird?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">To Kill a Mockingbird<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/1825.Harper_Lee\">Harper Lee<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.26 avg rating — 6,380,617 ratings<\/span> — published 1960\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer10151610455125480207\">The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it.

"To Kill A Mockingbird" became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.\n\nCompassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, "To Kill A Mockingbird" takes readers to the roots of human behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.<\/span>\n <a data-text-id=\"10151610455125480207\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"swapContent(\$(this));; return false;\">...more<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n", { style: 'addbook', stem: 'leftMiddle', hook: { tip: 'leftMiddle', target: 'rightMiddle' }, hideOn: false, width: 400, hideAfter: 0.05, delay: 0.35 }); $('bookCover760335_2657').observe('prototip:shown', function() { if (this.up('#box')) { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: $('box').getStyle('z-index')})}); } else { $$('div.prototip').each(function(i){i.setStyle({zIndex: 6000})}); } }); newTip['wrapper'].addClassName('prototipAllowOverflow'); $('bookCover760335_2657').observe('prototip:shown', function () { $$('div.prototip').each(function (e) { if ($('bookCover760335_2657').hasClassName('ignored')) { e.setStyle({'display': 'none'}); return; } e.setStyle({'overflow': 'visible'}); }); }); $('bookCover760335_2657').observe('prototip:hidden', function () { $$('span.elementTwo').each(function (e) { if (e.getStyle('display') !== 'none') { var lessLink = e.next(); swapContent(lessLink); } }); }); //]]> </script> </div> <div class="leftAlignedImage bookBox"> <div class="coverWrapper" id="bookCover760335_77203"> <a href="/book/show/77203.The_Kite_Runner"><img alt="The Kite Runner" title="" width="115" class="bookImage" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1579036753l/77203._SY475_.jpg" /></a> </div> <script> //<![CDATA[ var newTip = new Tip($('bookCover760335_77203'), "\n\n <h2><a class=\"readable bookTitle\" href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77203.The_Kite_Runner?from_choice=false&from_home_module=false\">The Kite Runner<\/a><\/h2>\n\n <div>\n by <a class=\"authorName\" href=\"/author/show/569.Khaled_Hosseini\">Khaled Hosseini<\/a><span title=\"Goodreads Author!\">*<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"smallText uitext darkGreyText\">\n <span class=\"minirating\"><span class=\"stars staticStars notranslate\"><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p10\"><\/span><span size=\"12x12\" class=\"staticStar p3\"><\/span><\/span> 4.35 avg rating — 3,257,713 ratings<\/span> — published 2003\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"addBookTipDescription\">\n \n<span id=\"freeTextContainer3440136463838795431\">1970s Afghanistan: Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the local kite-fighting tournament and his loyal friend Hassan promises to help him.
