Married off for dynastic advantage, each carried the Victorian inheritance of royal blood, and in several cases the hemophilia gene, into marriages that shaped the fate of their adopted countries.\n\nDrawing on letters, diaries, diplomatic records, and interviews with descendants, Julia P. Gelardi follows these women from childhood in their grandmother's court through the upheavals of the First World War and its aftermath, as monarchies across Europe collapsed around them. Some, like Alexandra, met catastrophe; others endured exile, revolution, or the slow erosion of royal power in the century's opening decades.\n\nThe book is a work of popular history focused on the domestic and political lives of its five subjects rather than a single connected narrative, tracing how they navigated marriage, motherhood, and rule inside the collapsing world of Europe's royal houses.",2005,null,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nmd8s7bscnzxz6ak7ssn9.jpg?v=e55b2c2fe6","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx6nmd8bz1gk5pf1hcwqbdgj.png?v=678203e135","LFFYN2t8IWxb~3ofE2oL^%oLE1Rj",0,477,542,"complete",true,false,[21],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24,"role":25,"bio":10},"01kx6nmd8ndscbj2j7rqbevq23","julia-p-gelardi-dftl","Julia P.

Her sister has been dead for fifteen years when she sees her on the TV news... Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It's what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit's world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions--grief, loss, and anger--that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who's been living a lie. After arriving in New Zealand, Kit begins her journey with the memories of the past: of days spent on the beach with Josie. Of a lost teenage boy who'd become part of their family. And of a trauma that has haunted Kit and Josie their entire lives. Now, if two sisters are to reunite, it can only be by unearthing long-buried secrets and facing a devastating truth that has kept them apart far too long. To regain their relationship, they may have to lose everything.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27q307fkcc6kw8f1n6txfb.jpg?v=a7b3ea5c58","LjPOxM%ewJoI~BbYr?s:4WV@WVof",[480],{"id":481,"slug":482,"name":483},"01kqmpkjemdkvg0gbwh41jp96z","barbara-samuel-pue8","Barbara Samuel",[485,489],{"id":486,"name":487,"slug":488,"is_fiction":18},33,"Contemporary Romance","contemporary-romance",{"id":490,"name":491,"slug":492,"is_fiction":18},38,"Romantic Comedy","romantic-comedy",[],{"pace":112,"complexity":10,"audience":115,"mood":495,"themes":496,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[316,252],[497,121],"dual-timeline",{"id":499,"slug":500,"title":501,"description":10,"primary_cover_url":502,"cover_blurhash":503,"first_publish_year":504,"community_rating_avg":420,"community_rating_count":421,"page_count":505,"authors":506,"genres":511,"series":520,"enrichment":521},"01kx2h470shq776eqg8jsnh3d6","members-only-owpg","Members Only","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2h471abbw5ft8wq650kzbf.jpg?v=c233946b01","L69eQpu518cGl,WExus+06WUs*Wr",2020,368,[507],{"id":508,"slug":509,"name":510},"01kx2h4714rkemktv9npy4wfh3","sameer-pandya-l4oa","Sameer Pandya",[512,516],{"id":513,"name":514,"slug":515,"is_fiction":18},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":517,"name":518,"slug":519,"is_fiction":18},119,"Humor","humor",[],{"pace":112,"complexity":10,"audience":115,"mood":522,"themes":523,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[214,252],[218,121],{"id":525,"slug":526,"title":527,"description":10,"primary_cover_url":528,"cover_blurhash":529,"first_publish_year":530,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":531,"authors":532,"genres":537,"series":540,"enrichment":541},"01kx6n6gc1pakmqx6ev510sbk3","roots-of-resilience-6usz","Roots of Resilience","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx6n6gc1pakmqx6ev510sbk3.jpg?v=c9fc47a1ed","LPON5uxu_N%ME1WB%2j[aIoftSV@",2025,198,[533],{"id":534,"slug":535,"name":536},"01kx6n6gcccp17vfe0h6maem46","emily-taing-watson-r0yb","Emily Taing Watson",[538,539],{"id":246,"name":247,"slug":248,"is_fiction":19},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":112,"complexity":10,"audience":115,"mood":542,"themes":543,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[289,118],[218,121],{"id":545,"slug":546,"title":547,"description":548,"primary_cover_url":549,"cover_blurhash":550,"first_publish_year":551,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":552,"authors":553,"genres":558,"series":577,"enrichment":583},"01krtssb9dmfa9vdzknnry1q8q","a-tapestry-of-secrets-plxs","A Tapestry of Secrets","Perla Phillips, now in her eighties, has held a secret for sixty years.

He covers the rise and fall of Rome, the barbarian invasions, the Papacy's struggles for power, the Renaissance and Reformation, the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, the two World Wars, and the Cold War's end.\n\nInterspersed through the narrative are nearly 300 short \"capsules\" — self-contained notes on specific people, places, events, and concepts (from persecuted minorities to obscure terms) that step outside the main chronological thread.

Four years later all had vanished in the chaos of World War I. One event precipitated the conflict, and at its heart was a tragic love story. When Austrian heir Archduke Franz Ferdinand married for love against the wishes of the emperor, he and his wife Sophie were humiliated and shunned, yet they remained devoted to each other and to their children. The two bullets fired in Sarajevo not only ended their love story, but also led to war and decades of conflict. Challenging a century of myth, this moving portrait of the end of an era also offers the startling truth behind the Sarajevo assassinations--including Serbian complicity--and examines rumors of conspiracy and official negligence.--From publisher description.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6pdrfyn0x2vx6hqnvh2m22.jpg?v=738ff85ac7","L04-;A0e00M|^+M|0LWV00?H?F-o",2013,384,[857,861],{"id":858,"slug":859,"name":860},"01kx6pdrfrev9d852607s3xmxf","greg-king-hcww","Greg King",{"id":862,"slug":863,"name":864},"01kx6nacznktxab0tnp6kdfx1r","sue-woolmans-xowp","Sue Woolmans",[866,867,868,869,870],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":743,"name":744,"slug":745,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":871,"name":872,"slug":873,"is_fiction":19},104,"True Crime","true-crime",[],{"pace":112,"complexity":10,"audience":115,"mood":876,"themes":878,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[117,877,166],"tense",[],{"key":880,"params":881,"works":882},"genre",{"genre":37},[883,905,923,951,973,997],{"id":884,"slug":885,"title":886,"description":887,"primary_cover_url":888,"cover_blurhash":889,"first_publish_year":890,"community_rating_avg":420,"community_rating_count":421,"page_count":891,"authors":892,"genres":897,"series":901,"enrichment":902},"01kx27p2svvwepgyk3gnd4q0xm","aint-i-a-woman-5dwr","Ain't I a Woman","A world renowned author, scholar, public intellectual, and activist, bell hooks was 19 years old when she wrote *Ain't I a Woman* (published ten years later).

The Last Grand Duchess is a valuable account of the final decades of the house of Romanov as seen through the eyes of its last surviving member. Through Olga, we meet Queen Victoria, George V of England, Rasputin, Mrs. Anderson - on whose story the movie Anastasia was made - and other impostors who plagued the exiled duchess with false hope.

As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name. But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful.

Nowhere in Europe has the Roman Catholic Church exerted a more mystical hold on the life of a nation than it has in Spain. Yet this hold has not been unchanging or unchallenged. By the mid-eighteenth century the Church was no longer the only legitimate source of authority, the all-pervasive presence that it had been, most forcefully in the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Still, its power remained formidable. The Spanish Church imposed standards of conduct over the entire range of society, from the aristocracy to the peasant masses, and it possessed the material resources necessary to maintain an elaborate ecclesiastical network that influenced every aspect of Spanish life. The heart of the book deals with the reactions of the Church to the dramatic, sometimes violent, changes that occurred during the critical nineteenth-century period of national transition from royal absolutism to popular liberalism. The study examines the responses of the Church to the new social and political forces that could no longer be excluded or contained, among them an emergent secular--even anticlerical--culture and a developing capitalism.Callahan demonstrates that these changes engendered resentments and frustrations deep within the ecclesiastical order that persisted well into the twentieth century, notably with the Spanish Church's embrace of Franco.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx2a91wdrsvq8m8cab2zp44t.jpg?v=40f5ef3581","LwKSg$WDoKxW~8jHR+WV%JWCsmWp","1.00",[982],{"id":983,"slug":984,"name":985},"01kjqz7rn338hakt9x7rffhvn0","henry-david-thoreau-lynz","Henry David Thoreau",[987,988],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":989,"name":990,"slug":991,"is_fiction":19},93,"Nature","nature",[],{"pace":163,"complexity":10,"audience":115,"mood":994,"themes":996,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[118,995],"philosophical",[],{"id":998,"slug":999,"title":1000,"description":1001,"primary_cover_url":1002,"cover_blurhash":1003,"first_publish_year":1004,"community_rating_avg":420,"community_rating_count":421,"page_count":1005,"authors":1006,"genres":1011,"series":1018,"enrichment":1019},"01kx26t0a3tz8hpv509x3djyp8","the-bielski-brothers-the-true-story-of-three-men-who-defied-the-nazis-built-a-village-in-the-forest-and-saved-1200-jews-y9ga","The Bielski Brothers The True Story of Three Men Who Defied the Nazis, Built a Village in the Forest, and Saved 1,200 Jews","In 1941, three brothers witnessed their parents and two other siblings being led away to their eventual murders. 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,[1007],{"id":1008,"slug":1009,"name":1010},"01kqn921tw9va8xzsx6y3tqy1w","peter-duffy-evzb","Peter Duffy",[1012,1016,1017],{"id":1013,"name":1014,"slug":1015,"is_fiction":18},54,"World War II","world-war-ii",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":212,"complexity":10,"audience":115,"mood":1020,"themes":1021,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[877,289],[],[]]
