Who is Andrea Bern? When her therapist asks the question, Andrea knows the right things to say: she's a designer, a friend, a daughter, a sister. But it's what she leaves unsaid--she's alone, a drinker, a former artist, a shrieker in bed, captain of the sinking ship that is her flesh--that feels the most true. Everyone around her seems to have an entirely different idea of what it means to be an adult: her best friend, Indigo, is getting married; her brother--who miraculously seems unscathed by their shared tumultuous childhood--and sister-in-law are having a hoped-for baby; and her friend Matthew continues to wholly devote himself to making dark paintings at the cost of being flat broke. But when Andrea's niece finally arrives, born with a heartbreaking ailment, the Bern family is forced to reexamine what really matters. Will this drive them together or tear them apart? Told in gut-wrenchingly honest, mordantly comic vignettes, All Grown Up is a breathtaking display of Jami Attenberg's power as a storyteller, a whip-smart examination of one woman's life, lived entirely on her own terms.",2017,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23gxh3tdyhq0n7a66hq3vp.jpg?v=a14ecf8b03","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx23gxgqn75pvjyavaqw97sd.png?v=b60e735752","LMJR8S00nN$^00ITx]R.~7xa-pNL","4.00",1,224,255,0,"complete",false,true,[18,18,18,18,18,18,18,15,18,18],[24],{"id":25,"slug":26,"name":27,"role":28,"bio":7},"01kvrc6wt56j2he158zpmbft8g","jami-attenberg-oz4g","Jami Attenberg","author",[30,34],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",[],[],[41,45,48,52],{"id":42,"name":43,"type":44},"01kjq7gwe6t2q7xpeqzvc9bhsm","Humorous","subject",{"id":46,"name":47,"type":44},"01kjq6wyetsw6tpbsv85znafm0","Literary",{"id":49,"name":50,"type":51},"01kkw43tvpdv9vw8315yz3xk78","Women","place",{"id":53,"name":54,"type":44},"01kr81crmgk563pn39spsa5swq","Urban & Street Lit",[],[57,66],{"id":58,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":59,"format_label":60,"page_count":16,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":61,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":62,"asin":7,"publisher":63,"language":10,"quality_score":64,"submission_status":65},"01kx23gxh3tdyhq0n7a66hq3vp","paperback","Paperback","2018-03-13","9781328915320","HarperCollins Publishers",10,"approved",{"id":67,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":68,"format_label":69,"page_count":16,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":70,"cover_url":71,"cover_blurhash":7,"isbn_13":72,"asin":7,"publisher":73,"language":10,"quality_score":64,"submission_status":65},"01kx23gxh910ntwvcrb4cjax54","kindle","Kindle","2017-03-07","https:\u002F\u002Fimages.isbndb.com\u002Fcovers\u002F26776643482381.jpg","9780544824263","HarperCollins",{"summary":7,"pace":75,"complexity":76,"complexity_score":15,"audience":77,"mood":78,"themes":81,"setting_period":84,"content_warnings":85},"moderate","light","adult",[79,80],"funny","reflective",[82,83],"coming-of-age","multiple-povs","contemporary",[],{"id":58,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":59,"format_label":60,"page_count":16,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"publish_date":61,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":62,"asin":7,"publisher":63,"language":10},[],"2026-07-09T00:12:58.000000Z",[90,114,137,160,183,205,227,247,276,298],{"id":91,"slug":92,"title":93,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":94,"cover_blurhash":95,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":96,"authors":97,"genres":102,"series":109,"enrichment":110},"01kx2eehbe0zedx6j42ptnn412","difficult-women-3mwj","Difficult Women","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2eehdsz2btz0sysgehdgms.jpg?v=5e2645f301","LIDa[E5W=X0$^Ns.oeoL}ls,%2xZ",272,[98],{"id":99,"slug":100,"name":101},"01kjt533e330vxdwastab1mb93","roxane-gay-esg5","Roxane Gay",[103,104,105],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":106,"name":107,"slug":108,"is_fiction":21},142,"Short Stories","short-stories",[],{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":111,"themes":113,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[112,80],"thought-provoking",[],{"id":115,"slug":116,"title":117,"description":118,"primary_cover_url":119,"cover_blurhash":120,"first_publish_year":121,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":122,"authors":123,"genres":128,"series":131,"enrichment":132},"01kx2kjsj54xmt926wzqf27m8t","for-today-i-am-a-boy-72jx","For Today I Am a Boy","A transgender woman narrates her life from a troubled childhood in Fort Michel, Ontario, through adolescence and adulthood in Montreal.

She must decide whether to leave the comforting landscape of her native India for the strange rituals of life in a new country.This is a journey Tehmina, a middle-aged Parsi woman, must travel alone.The Parsis were let into India almost a millennium ago because of their promise to \"sweeten\" and enrich the lives of the people in their adopted country. This is an ancient promise that Tehmina takes seriously. And so, while faced with the larger choice of whether to stay in America or not, Tehmina is also confronted with another, more urgent choice: whether to live in America as a stranger or as a citizen. Citizenship implies connection, participation, and involvement. Soon destiny beckons in the form of two young, troubled children next door. It is the plight of these two boys that forces Tehmina to choose. She will either straddle two worlds forever and live in a no-man's land or jump into the fullness of her new life in America.If Today Be Sweet is a novel that celebrates family and community. It is an honest but affectionate look at contemporary America—the sterility of its suburban life, the tinsel of its celebrity culture, but also the generosity of its people and their thirst for connection and communication.

Spirited and unconventional, they challenged authority and fought for a better world. But over the past thirty years, the quartet has drifted apart, the day-to-day demands of work and family tempering the revolutionary fervor they once shared. Then comes devastating news: Armaiti, who moved to America, is gravely ill and wants to see the old friends she left behind. For Laleh, reunion is a bittersweet reminder of unfulfilled dreams and unspoken guilt. For Kavita, it is an admission of forbidden passion. For Nishta, it is the promise of freedom from a bitter, fundamentalist husband. And for Armaiti, it is an act of acceptance, of letting go on her own terms. The World We Found is a dazzling masterwork from the remarkable Thrity Umrigar, offering an unforgettable portrait of modern India while it explores the enduring bonds of friendship and the power of love to change lives.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2864j1v6cyh4qtsz1tmq31.jpg?v=1589a9f41a","LTOC1YpZ?ZQ.yWWGiwX8~TVZE4jE",2012,221,[193],{"id":194,"slug":195,"name":196},"01kx241wmna6h9pkfq26sn3jj2","thrity-umrigar-ztpe","Thrity Umrigar",[198,199],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":202,"themes":204,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[203,80],"emotional",[],{"id":206,"slug":207,"title":208,"description":209,"primary_cover_url":210,"cover_blurhash":211,"first_publish_year":212,"community_rating_avg":213,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":214,"authors":215,"genres":220,"series":223,"enrichment":224},"01kx2aj8va4akg9k5w3d091gky","maggie-or-a-man-and-a-woman-walk-into-a-bar-n8gs","Maggie; or, a Man and a Woman Walk into a Bar","A man and a woman walk into a restaurant.

Unfolding in fragments over the course of the ensuing months, Maggie; Or, a Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar follows the narrator as she embarks on a journey of grief, healing, and reclamation. She starts talking to Maggie (the tumor), getting acquainted with her body’s new inhabitant. She overgenerously creates a “Guide to My Husband: A User’s Manual” for Maggie (the other woman), hoping to ease the process of discovering her ex-husband’s whims and quirks. She turns her children’s bedtime stories into retellings of Chinese folklore passed down by her own mother, in an attempt to make them fall in love with their shared culture—and to maybe save herself in the process. In the style of Jenny Offill and the tradition of Nora Ephron’s hilarious and devastating writing on heartbreak and womanhood, Maggie is a master class in transforming personal tragedy into a form of defiant comedy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2aj8vp9ja2n4325fqm1b6x.jpg?v=a1c6a8b148","LJDUJJ.,K?b]F?ODoJnSwcsmXNre",2025,"3.00",208,[216],{"id":217,"slug":218,"name":219},"01kx2aj8vkv1crptwtjvsqchvf","katie-yee-06la","Katie Yee",[221,222],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":133,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":225,"themes":226,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[135,80],[],{"id":228,"slug":229,"title":230,"description":231,"primary_cover_url":232,"cover_blurhash":233,"first_publish_year":234,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":214,"authors":235,"genres":240,"series":243,"enrichment":244},"01kx25h6pwhns4gdrxemywdrbf","how-not-to-drown-in-a-glass-of-water-hsil","How Not to Drown in a Glass of Water","A NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR'S CHOICE · A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW NOTABLE BOOK · REVIEWED ON THE FRONT COVER From GMA BOOK CLUB PICK and WOMEN'S PRIZE FINALIST Angie Cruz, author of Dominicana, an electrifying new novel about a woman who has lost everything but the chance to finally tell her story “Will have you LAUGHING line after line...Cruz AIMS FOR THE HEART, and fires.” —Los Angeles Times \"An endearing portrait of a FIERCE, FUNNY woman.\" —The Washington Post Cara Romero thought she would work at the factory of little lamps for the rest of her life.

K. Lee’s blockbuster hit debut, The Piano Teacher, was called “immensely satisfying” by People, “intensely readable” by O, The Oprah Magazine, and “a rare and exquisite story” by Elizabeth Gilbert. Now, in her long-awaited new novel, Lee explores with devastating poignancy the emotions, identities, and relationships of three very different American women living in the same small expat community in Hong Kong. Mercy, a young Korean American and recent Columbia graduate, is adrift, undone by a terrible incident in her recent past. Hilary, a wealthy housewife, is haunted by her struggle to have a child, something she believes could save her foundering marriage. Meanwhile, Margaret, once a happily married mother of three, questions her maternal identity in the wake of a shattering loss. As each woman struggles with her own demons, their lives collide in ways that have irreversible consequences for them all. Atmospheric, moving, and utterly compelling, The Expatriates confirms Lee as an exceptional talent and one of our keenest observers of women’s inner lives. From the Hardcover edition.

Told through alternating first-person narrations from each woman in the circle, Little Altars Everywhere is a warm, funny portrait of female friendship that survives change, distance, and time.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2f9pvm18b93r87zf9y36e0.jpg?v=61b7324740","LMQPBU#R{KKiTIn%r?Sg_}X9B:wI",1996,"5.00",303,[309],{"id":310,"slug":311,"name":312},"01kx2f9psff1ztkc2xegrq12ye","rebecca-wells-u54q","Rebecca Wells",[314,315],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":318,"themes":320,"setting_period":7,"summary":302,"content_warnings":7},[319,79],"nostalgic",[82,83],[322,498,544,573],{"key":323,"params":324,"works":325},"theme",{"theme":82},[326,354,377,408,430,471],{"id":327,"slug":328,"title":329,"description":330,"primary_cover_url":331,"cover_blurhash":332,"first_publish_year":333,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":334,"authors":335,"genres":340,"series":349,"enrichment":350},"01kwzwwp8ad96pa3qdg6a2ydy9","taste-of-sugar-xezr","Taste of Sugar","\"Marisel Vera emerges as a major voice of contemporary fiction with a heart- wrenching novel set in Puerto Rico on the eve of the Spanish-American War. It is 1898, and groups of starving Puerto Ricans, los hambrientos, roam the parched countryside and dusty towns begging for food. Under the yoke of Spanish oppression, the Caribbean island is forced to prepare to wage war with the United States. Up in the mountainous coffee region of Utuado, Vicente Vega and Valentina Sanchez labor to keep their small farm from the creditors. When the Spanish-American War and the great San Ciriaco Hurricane of 1899 bring devastating upheaval, the young couple is lured, along with thousands of other puertorriquenos, to the sugar plantations of Hawaii-another US territory-where they are confronted by the hollowness of America's promises of prosperity. Writing in the tradition of great Latin American storytelling, Marisel Vera's The Taste of Sugar is an unforgettable novel of love and endurance, and a timeless portrait of the reasons we leave home.\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzwwp8ykb7g6evhg5ac79jt.jpg?v=50912094c9","LFOyU.9[~p=eFwIV$*R*TJw|RQNu",2020,384,[336],{"id":337,"slug":338,"name":339},"01kwzwwp8r72ymxpahwfbev4v5","marisel-vera-apax","Marisel Vera",[341,345],{"id":342,"name":343,"slug":344,"is_fiction":21},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",{"id":346,"name":347,"slug":348,"is_fiction":21},55,"World War I","world-war-i",[],{"pace":133,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":351,"themes":352,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[135,319],[82,353],"forbidden-love",{"id":355,"slug":356,"title":357,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":358,"cover_blurhash":359,"first_publish_year":283,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":360,"authors":361,"genres":366,"series":371,"enrichment":372},"01kx23hnt8km2pyvvfbfv3z0hp","charlie-woodchuck-is-a-minor-niner-ixwi","Charlie Woodchuck Is a Minor Niner","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23hntt0qhf46pa8zb4kae5.jpg?v=68dc55587c","LHOfl4?[w?sj0W0@RQVsv_DOoZOY",174,[362],{"id":363,"slug":364,"name":365},"01kx23hntmnwxx45drxe1v34pw","dalya-moon-uaaq","Dalya Moon",[367],{"id":368,"name":369,"slug":370,"is_fiction":21},65,"Middle Grade","middle-grade",[],{"pace":373,"complexity":7,"audience":374,"mood":375,"themes":376,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"fast","children",[79,296],[82],{"id":378,"slug":379,"title":380,"description":381,"primary_cover_url":382,"cover_blurhash":383,"first_publish_year":384,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":385,"authors":386,"genres":391,"series":400,"enrichment":401},"01kx23qmvf9h8sp26hztx5ndhb","the-carrie-diaries-crki","The Carrie Diaries","In the early 1980s, a sharp-tongued high schooler in Connecticut dreams of becoming a writer and moving to New York City.

It’s empowering and surprising—a reminder to put down the phone and enjoy each moment for what it is.” —The Washington Post A deliciously funny, remarkably poignant, and simply unputdownable novel about the power of friendship, the lure of frenemies, and the importance of making peace with yourself through all life’s ups and downs. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good in Bed and Best Friends Forever, Big Summer is the perfect escape with one of the most lovable heroines to come to the page in years. Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn’t spoken one word to Drue in all this time—she doesn’t even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media—so when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless. Drue was always the one who had everything—except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne’s no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She’s built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend’s siren song. A sparkling novel about the complexities of female relationships, the pitfalls of living out loud and online, and the resilience of the human heart, Big Summer is a witty, moving story about family, friendship, and figuring out what matters most.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23cqcdwmwt79685qn809qt.jpg?v=fb7c788486","L8Ss50?b~q?b-;j[xuj[_3ayIUj[",368,[511],{"id":512,"slug":513,"name":514},"01kr6ej2eh8xgqx0t6kawqmtys","jennifer-weiner-niyf","Jennifer Weiner",[516,517],{"id":393,"name":394,"slug":395,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":373,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":520,"themes":521,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[79,319],[522],"second-chance",{"id":524,"slug":525,"title":526,"description":527,"primary_cover_url":528,"cover_blurhash":529,"first_publish_year":530,"community_rating_avg":306,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":531,"authors":532,"genres":537,"series":540,"enrichment":541},"01kx23exw152pdepnjefergk0n","fly-away-playaway-firefly-lane-bk-2-hqdj","Fly Away Playaway Firefly Lane Bk. 2","Fly away is the story of three women who have lost their way and need each other-- plus a miracle-- to transform their lives.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23exwew20cqxs9kh6njyeb.jpg?v=b8628e2561","LsP6Enui+u%#%3ozWAR*%LjsIVWB",2013,16,[533],{"id":534,"slug":535,"name":536},"01kjstbt2etnamk8rhspqrt6wm","kristin-hannah-fmra","Kristin Hannah",[538,539],{"id":393,"name":394,"slug":395,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":542,"themes":543,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[203,180],[],{"key":545,"params":546,"works":547},"genre_mood",{"genre":36,"mood":79},[548],{"id":549,"slug":550,"title":551,"description":552,"primary_cover_url":553,"cover_blurhash":554,"first_publish_year":555,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":556,"authors":557,"genres":562,"series":568,"enrichment":569},"01kx23sbq1xw4p7y0tvtsnmsp9","black-buck-pwib","Black Buck","A New York Times Bestseller A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick!

There's nothing like a Black salesman on a mission. An unambitious twenty-two-year-old, Darren lives in a Bed-Stuy brownstone with his mother, who wants nothing more than to see him live up to his potential as the valedictorian of Bronx Science. But Darren is content working at Starbucks in the lobby of a Midtown office building, hanging out with his girlfriend, Soraya, and eating his mother's home-cooked meals. All that changes when a chance encounter with Rhett Daniels, the silver-tongued CEO of Sumwun, NYC's hottest tech startup, results in an exclusive invitation for Darren to join an elite sales team on the thirty-sixth floor. After enduring a \"hell week\" of training, Darren, the only Black person in the company, reimagines himself as \"Buck,\" a ruthless salesman unrecognizable to his friends and family. But when things turn tragic at home and Buck feels he's hit rock bottom, he begins to hatch a plan to help young people of color infiltrate America's sales force, setting off a chain of events that forever changes the game. Black Buck is a hilarious, razor-sharp skewering of America's workforce; it is a propulsive, crackling debut that explores ambition and race, and makes way for a necessary new vision of the American dream.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23sbqk1qqkxzf4rrcw2cr1.jpg?v=382e43e971","LeMr;M?D~Moc,:E5tPoc^IxVJBa$",2021,388,[558],{"id":559,"slug":560,"name":561},"01kx23sbqepwqceqgqgnnb880s","mateo-askaripour-y9ij","Mateo Askaripour",[563,564],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":565,"name":566,"slug":567,"is_fiction":21},118,"Satire","satire",[],{"pace":373,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":570,"themes":572,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[79,571],"tense",[],{"key":574,"params":575,"works":576},"genre",{"genre":36},[577,598,618,644,665,683],{"id":578,"slug":579,"title":580,"description":581,"primary_cover_url":582,"cover_blurhash":583,"first_publish_year":584,"community_rating_avg":213,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":585,"authors":586,"genres":588,"series":594,"enrichment":595},"01kx241wmax81db7y2v5mv5zpt","bombay-time-omxf","Bombay Time","\"Umrigar's vivid and easy prose carries the reader into the heart of these families, limning their neighborhoods, their desires, their hopes, and failures.\" — Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel At the wedding of a young man from a middle-class apartment building in Bombay, the men and women of this unique community gather together and look back on their youthful, idealistic selves and consider the changes the years have wrought.

Gwendolyn and Estella have always been as close as sisters can be. Growing up in a wealthy, eminent, and sometimes deceitful family, they’ve relied on each other for support and confidence. But now Gwendolyn is lying in a coma, the sole survivor of Estella’s poisoning of their whole clan. As Gwendolyn struggles to regain consciousness, she desperately retraces her memories, trying to uncover the moment that led to this shocking act. Was it their aunt’s mysterious death at sea? Estella’s unhappy marriage to a dangerously brutish man? Or were the shifting loyalties and unspoken resentments at the heart of their opulent world too much to bear? Can Gwendolyn, at last, confront the carefully buried mysteries in their family’s past and the truth about who she and her sister really are? Traveling from the luxurious world of the rich and powerful in Indonesia to the most spectacular shows at Paris Fashion Week, from the sunny coasts of California to the melting pot of Melbourne’s university scene, The Majesties “is a thrilling, tender page-turner” (Krys Lee, author of Drifting House) as well as “a sobering look at the dark side of extreme wealth” (Kirkus Reviews).","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23msfwkr4r0v4zg9xz3yrx.jpg?v=337d042e37","L7S$ov?b~q?b-;j[t7j[~qj[D%ay",[626],{"id":627,"slug":628,"name":629},"01kx23msfpkyjp57x92bny8sjq","tiffany-tsao-99fo","Tiffany Tsao",[631,632,633],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":591,"name":592,"slug":593,"is_fiction":21},{"id":634,"name":635,"slug":636,"is_fiction":21},5,"Thriller","thriller",[],{"pace":75,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":639,"themes":640,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[616,571,135],[641,642,643],"dual-timeline","betrayal","family-saga",{"id":645,"slug":646,"title":647,"description":648,"primary_cover_url":649,"cover_blurhash":650,"first_publish_year":555,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":651,"authors":652,"genres":657,"series":660,"enrichment":661},"01kx23t4yh94jfyywngg4e4npk","milk-blood-heat-stories-9wtl","Milk Blood Heat Stories","SHORTLISTED FOR THE PEN\u002FJEAN STEIN AND PEN\u002FROBERT W. BINGHAM AWARDS A NATIONAL BOOK FOUNDATION 5 UNDER 35 \"A gorgeous debut\" (Lauren Groff) from Dantiel W. Moniz, one of the most exciting discoveries in today's literary landscape, Milk Blood Heat depicts the sultry lives of Floridians in intergenerational tales that contemplate human connection, race, womanhood, inheritance, and the elemental darkness in us all. A livewire debut from Dantiel W. Moniz, one of the most exciting discoveries in today's literary landscape, Milk Blood Heat depicts the sultry lives of Floridians in intergenerational tales that contemplate human connection, race, womanhood, inheritance, and the elemental darkness in us all. Set among the cities and suburbs of Florida, each story delves into the ordinary worlds of young girls, women, and men who find themselves confronted by extraordinary moments of violent personal reckoning. These intimate portraits of people and relationships scour and soothe and blast a light on the nature of family, faith, forgiveness, consumption, and what we may, or may not, owe one another. A thirteen-year-old meditates on her sadness and the difference between herself and her white best friend when an unexpected tragedy occurs; a woman recovering from a miscarriage finds herself unable to let go of her daughter--whose body parts she sees throughout her daily life; a teenager resists her family's church and is accused of courting the devil; servers at a supper club cater to the insatiable cravings of their wealthy clientele; and two estranged siblings take a road-trip with their father's ashes and are forced to face the troubling reality of how he continues to shape them. Wise and subversive, spiritual and seductive, Milk Blood Heat forms an ouroboros of stories that bewitch with their truth, announcing the arrival of a bright new literary star.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx23t4z3s4cydnnc72epw73e.jpg?v=a96f2f11b3","LULgtg_iE|T0o@X8r?r?ImW=bHWU",184,[653],{"id":654,"slug":655,"name":656},"01kx23t4yyj87k8e3b04pdfw8m","dantiel-w-moniz-sq8n","Dantiel W.
