World War II continues, and Ada and her brother, Jamie, are living with their loving legal guardian, Susan, in a borrowed cottage on the estate of the formidable Lady Thorton--along with Lady Thorton herself and her daughter, Maggie. Life in the crowded cottage is tense enough, and then, quite suddenly, Ruth, a Jewish girl from Germany, moves in. A German? The occupants of the house are horrified. But other impacts of the war become far more frightening. As death creeps closer to their door, life and morality during wartime grow more complex. Who is Ada now? How can she keep fighting?

It was a grim scene that would, of course, be repeated endlessly throughout the war. Instead of running or giving in to despair, these brothers -- Tuvia, Zus, and Asael Bielski -- fought back, waging a guerrilla war of wits against the Nazis. By using their intimate knowledge of the dense forests surrounding the Belarusan towns of Novogrudek and Lida, the Bielskis evaded the Nazis and established a hidden base camp, then set about convincing other Jews to join their ranks. As more and more Jews arrived each day, a robust community began to emerge, a \"Jerusalem in the woods.\" After two and a half years in the woods, in July 1944, the Bielskis learned that the Germans, overrun by the Red Army, were retreating back toward Berlin. More than one thousand Bielski Jews emerged -- alive -- on that final, triumphant exit from the woods.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26t0agg1ngvkhhv9yyt2km.jpg?v=9d4bff31dd","L6BWSR1401IB~mEhVuxa02$xShtR",2004,336,[239],{"id":240,"slug":241,"name":242},"01kqn921tw9va8xzsx6y3tqy1w","peter-duffy-evzb","Peter Duffy",[244,245,249],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":33},{"id":246,"name":247,"slug":248,"is_fiction":16},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":252,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":253,"themes":255,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[84,254],"inspiring",[],{"id":257,"slug":258,"title":259,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":260,"cover_blurhash":261,"first_publish_year":262,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":263,"authors":264,"genres":273,"series":280,"enrichment":281},"01krg25yws70mg7tm5dg0whg49","los-templarios-cbig","Los templarios","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01krg25yz6mfmz8gx4fp8gkcja.jpg","L+I5VyWBj]j@~qofj[ay%Mt7j[oL",2018,512,[265,269],{"id":266,"slug":267,"name":268},"01kkc8vydx9mrnt6z501xm33sm","dan-jones-ikdb","Dan Jones",{"id":270,"slug":271,"name":272},"01kqfhqrmng5mdwtr1pmd2nr70","joan-eloi-roca-ryz0","Joan Eloi Roca",[274,275,276],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":16},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":16},{"id":277,"name":278,"slug":279,"is_fiction":33},56,"Medieval","medieval",[],{"pace":252,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":282,"themes":284,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[283,84],"dark",[],{"id":286,"slug":287,"title":288,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":289,"cover_blurhash":290,"first_publish_year":291,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":292,"authors":293,"genres":298,"series":301,"enrichment":302},"01kx2nj3d6c2w8jw2fdmcv46py","dressmakers-war-6cnd","Dressmaker's War","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2nj3dw2ew012sty37qgdmm.jpg?v=56a3391867","L3Ql,s_2-.~q~pj?M{R*xsV@Rjof",2016,250,[294],{"id":295,"slug":296,"name":297},"01kx2nj3dnp2mpt35ky13k9xd2","mary-chamberlain-efde","Mary Chamberlain",[299,300],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":33},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":303,"themes":304,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[84,126],[87],{"id":306,"slug":307,"title":308,"description":309,"primary_cover_url":310,"cover_blurhash":311,"first_publish_year":312,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":211,"authors":313,"genres":318,"series":323,"enrichment":324},"01kx2cg00cey39p7w8xm7gg8ek","the-postmistress-bqdz","The postmistress","Those who carry the truth sometimes bear a terrible weight... It is 1940. France has fallen. Bombs are dropping on London. And President Roosevelt is promising he won't send our boys to fight in \"foreign wars.\"But American radio gal Frankie Bard, the first woman to report from the Blitz in London, wants nothing more than to bring the war home. Frankie's radio dispatches crackle across the Atlantic ocean, imploring listeners to pay attention--as the Nazis bomb London nightly, and Jewish refugees stream across Europe. Frankie is convinced that if she can just get the right story, it will wake Americans to action and they will join the fight.Meanwhile, in Franklin, Massachusetts, a small town on Cape Cod, Iris James hears Frankie's broadcasts and knows that it is only a matter of time before the war arrives on Franklin's shores. In charge of the town's mail, Iris believes that her job is to deliver and keep people's secrets, passing along the news that letters carry. And one secret she keeps are her feelings for Harry Vale, the town mechanic, who inspects the ocean daily, searching in vain for German U-boats he is certain will come. Two single people in midlife, Iris and Harry long ago gave up hope of ever being in love, yet they find themselves unexpectedly drawn toward each other.Listening to Frankie as well are Will and Emma Fitch, the town's doctor and his new wife, both trying to escape a fragile childhood and forge a brighter future. When Will follow's Frankie's siren call into the war, Emma's worst fears are realized. Promising to return in six months, Will goes to London to offer his help, and the lives of the three women entwine.Alternating between an America still cocooned in its inability to grasp the danger at hand and a Europe being torn apart by war, The Postmistress gives us two women who find themselves unable to deliver the news, and a third woman desperately waiting for news yet afraid to hear it.Sarah Blake's The Postmistress shows how we bear the fact that war goes on around us while ordinary lives continue. Filled with stunning parallels to today, it is a remarkable novel.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2cg027cjj26vswvtrnhqny.jpg?v=93fc3324ac","LRNJ?@t7_Nt6?bogDjV@tkWAR6WB",2010,[314],{"id":315,"slug":316,"name":317},"01kx2cg00t4qb1bcngwjjfc98g","sarah-blake-smkm","Sarah Blake",[319,320,321,322],{"id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"is_fiction":33},{"id":148,"name":149,"slug":150,"is_fiction":33},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":33},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":163,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":325,"themes":326,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[165,166],[],{"id":328,"slug":329,"title":330,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":331,"cover_blurhash":332,"first_publish_year":102,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":333,"authors":334,"genres":343,"series":363,"enrichment":364},"01kqnm1ft1dy8dhqyaqh3fgfkq","honest-spy-tszm","Honest Spy","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kqnm1fvyc0y16535t1s23bcb.jpg","LOGjBEEh;Mxa}9wvjZxZxaoKNbW;",368,[335,339],{"id":336,"slug":337,"name":338},"01kpk63hmd48bw7mb801vf0can","andreas-kollender-um49","Andreas Kollender",{"id":340,"slug":341,"name":342},"01kqnm1fvv3bg126dyderx8q26","steve-anderson-uhak","Steve Anderson",[344,348,349,353,354,358,362],{"id":345,"name":346,"slug":347,"is_fiction":33},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"is_fiction":33},{"id":350,"name":351,"slug":352,"is_fiction":33},45,"Spy","spy",{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":16},{"id":355,"name":356,"slug":357,"is_fiction":33},214,"Political Thriller","political-thriller",{"id":359,"name":360,"slug":361,"is_fiction":33},46,"Espionage","espionage",{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":33},[],{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":365,"themes":366,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[84,202],[],{"id":368,"slug":369,"title":370,"description":371,"primary_cover_url":372,"cover_blurhash":373,"first_publish_year":102,"community_rating_avg":374,"community_rating_count":104,"page_count":375,"authors":376,"genres":385,"series":405,"enrichment":406},"01kjr37ar04n3ev8epzkd6tsj4","make-your-bed-qsda","Make Your Bed","Admiral William H.

In centering Black women's stories, two award-winning historians seek both to empower African American women and to show their allies that Black women's unique ability to make their own communities while combatting centuries of oppression is an essential component in our continued resistance to systemic racism and sexism. Daina Ramey Berry and Kali Nicole Gross offer an examination and celebration of Black womanhood, beginning with the first African women who arrived in what became the United States to African American women of today. A Black Women's History of the United States reaches far beyond a single narrative to showcase Black women's lives in all their fraught complexities.

In The Modernity of Witchcraft, Peter Geschieres uses his own experiences among the Maka and in other parts of eastern and southern Cameroon, as well as other anthropological research, to argue that contemporary ideas and practices of witchcraft are more a response to modern exigencies than a lingering cultural custom. The prevalence of witchcraft, especially in African politics and entrepreneurship, demonstrates the unlikely balance it has achieved with the forces of modernity.

Operating in Chicago's notorious Levee district at the dawn of the last century, the Club's proprietors, two aristocratic sisters named Minna and Ada Everleigh, welcomed moguls and actors, senators and athletes, foreign dignitaries and literary icons, into their stately double mansion, where thirty stunning Everleigh \"butterflies\" awaited their arrival. Courtesans named Doll, Suzy Poon Tang, and Brick Top devoured raw meat to the delight of Prince Henry of Prussia and recited poetry for Theodore Dreiser. Whereas lesser madams pocketed most of a harlot's earnings and kept a \"whipper\" on staff to mete out discipline, the Everleighs made sure their girls dined on gourmet food, were examined by an honest physician, and even tutored in the literature of Balzac.Not everyone appreciated the sisters' attempts to elevate the industry. Rival Levee madams hatched numerous schemes to ruin the Everleighs, including an attempt to frame them for the death of department store heir Marshall Field, Jr. But the sisters' most daunting foes were the Progressive Era reformers, who sent the entire country into a frenzy with lurid tales of \"white slavery\"--the allegedly rampant practice of kidnapping young girls and forcing them into brothels. This furor shaped America's sexual culture and had repercussions all the way to the White House, including the formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.With a cast of characters that includes Jack Johnson, John Barrymore, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., William Howard Taft, \"Hinky Dink\" Kenna, and Al Capone, Sin in the Second City is Karen Abbott's colorful, nuanced portrait of the iconic Everleigh sisters, their world-famous Club, and the perennial clash between our nation's hedonistic impulses and Puritanical roots. Culminating in a dramatic last stand between brothel keepers and crusading reformers, Sin in the Second City offers a vivid snapshot of America's journey from Victorian-era propriety to twentieth-century modernity.Visit www.sininthesecondcity.com to learn more!Praise for Sin in the Second City:\"Assiduously researched... [Sin in the Second City] describes a popular culture awash in wild tales of sexual abuse, crusading reformers claiming God on their side, and deep suspicion of the threat posed by \"foreigners\" to the nation's Christian values.\" --Janet Maslin, The New York Times \"Lavish in her details, nicely detached in her point of view, [and with] scrupulous concern for historical accuracy, Ms. Abbott has written an immensely readable book. Sin in the Second City offers much in the way of reflection for those interested in the unending puzzle that goes by the name of human nature.\" -- The Wall Street Journal \"Abbott's first book is meticulously researched and entertaining... a colorful history of old Chicago that reads like a novel.\" --The Atlanta Journal Constitution\"With gleaming prose and authoritative knowledge Abbott elucidates one of the most colorful periods in American history, and the result reads like the very best fiction.
