But Charlotte has also sought solace in the Ku Klux Klan, a relationship that jeopardizes Josephine's family. Nearly one hundred years later, Josephine's descendant, Ava, is a single mother who has just lost her job. She moves in with her white grandmother Martha, a wealthy but lonely woman who pays her grandchild to be her companion.

This is a novel that rewards reading, and even re-reading. The World We Found is a powerful meditation.” —Boston Globe Thrity Umrigar, acclaimed author of The Space Between Us and The Weight of Heaven, returns with a breathtaking new novel—a skillfully wrought, emotionally resonant story of four women and the indelible friendship they share As university students in late 1970s Bombay, Armaiti, Laleh, Kavita, and Nishta were inseparable. 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,[268],{"id":269,"slug":270,"name":271},"01kx241wmna6h9pkfq26sn3jj2","thrity-umrigar-ztpe","Thrity Umrigar",[273,274],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":119,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":277,"themes":279,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[278,124],"emotional",[],{"id":281,"slug":282,"title":283,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":284,"cover_blurhash":285,"first_publish_year":8,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":286,"authors":287,"genres":292,"series":296,"enrichment":297},"01kx2dbzgb32289cddehd1asb6","young-jane-young-i9gs","Young Jane Young","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2dbzh389wg41wn9bwxm2yw.jpg?v=e1975e30b1","LXN[mUVv}Pso^aV_OrWCV=oKNLj?",304,[288],{"id":289,"slug":290,"name":291},"01kjz443apt564vhpn6qqex45t","gabrielle-zevin-629y","Gabrielle Zevin",[293,294,295],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":217,"name":218,"slug":219,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":197,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":298,"themes":299,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[124,199],[],{"id":301,"slug":302,"title":303,"description":304,"primary_cover_url":305,"cover_blurhash":306,"first_publish_year":307,"community_rating_avg":308,"community_rating_count":243,"page_count":309,"authors":310,"genres":315,"series":318,"enrichment":319},"01kx2bcdzsj65zyqpj3f6xyg1k","if-today-be-sweet-upzs","If Today Be Sweet","Tehmina Sethna's beloved husband has died this past year and she is visiting her son, Sorab, in his suburban Ohio home. Now Tehmina is being asked to choose between her old, familiar life in India and a new one in Ohio with her son, his American wife, and their child. 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. Eloquently written, evocative, and unforgettable, If Today Be Sweet is a poignant look at issues of immigration, identity, family life, and hope. It is a novel that shows how cultures can collide and become better for it.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2bce0d0p365hxy1snfr51p.jpg?v=c96882c6e2","LYP?p?oex^xu_NWBxaog9Ef5oLj]",2007,"4.00",296,[311],{"id":312,"slug":313,"name":314},"01kx2bce055c6barrt36w8vkvb","thrity-n-umrigar-ambm","Thrity N.

The woman expects a lovely night filled with endless plates of samosas. Instead, she finds out her husband is having an affair with a woman named Maggie. A short while after, her chest starts to ache. She walks into an examination room, where she finds out the pain in her breast isn’t just heartbreak—it’s cancer. She decides to call the tumor Maggie. 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,[336],{"id":337,"slug":338,"name":339},"01kx2aj8vkv1crptwtjvsqchvf","katie-yee-06la","Katie Yee",[341,342],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":197,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":345,"themes":346,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[199,124],[],{"id":348,"slug":349,"title":350,"description":351,"primary_cover_url":352,"cover_blurhash":353,"first_publish_year":354,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":141,"authors":355,"genres":360,"series":363,"enrichment":364},"01kx2cw392xdcr1n3ypbgj9seh","the-ones-who-dont-say-they-love-you-eczj","The Ones Who Don't Say They Love You","\"Maurice Carlos Ruffin has an uncanny ability to create spaces.

Her already precarious existence is thrown into disarray when she runs into her former grad school adviser, Dr. Tom Sternberg, on campus. Tom and Sam have a complicated history, and it’s the last thing she wants to think about as she navigates academic politics, institutional hurdles, and romantic entanglements with men and women that further complicate a sexuality not even she can define.

Tariq Khan is a Pakistani born and raised in Norway. An outsider in his own country--adrift between two worlds divided by class, race, and culture--he's always been searching for home. Alongside a flock of other streetwise young men, each looking for direction and each easily susceptible, Tariq finds his cause in the Muslim revival. Idealistic, driven by faith, and empowered with purpose, he's drawn to radical Islam--his last resort for achieving a sense of belonging, for embracing and being embraced. It's only when he enlists in the war against Assad that Tariq's eyes are truly opened. Dispirited with the violence, faced with the consequences of his choices, and increasingly distanced by the brutalities of jihad, Tariq contends with spiritual struggles that are his alone. So are the stories he will tell to make sense of his life. In this daring and unprecedented work of literary fiction, Demian Vitanza explores the power of memory, the lure of rebellion, the search for meaning amid chaos--and the toll that such a journey can take before finally finding one's way home.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25myy11q6wj71aebxrd7yc.jpg?v=f3baf7f15a","L9N0r45F%%?c00b_WC9F9bJWDjIp",2018,[589],{"id":590,"slug":591,"name":592},"01kx25myxx7d12t4vqk7f25fs5","demian-vitanza-4nmt","Demian Vitanza",[594,595,598],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":97,"name":596,"slug":597,"is_fiction":17},"Thriller","thriller",{"id":599,"name":600,"slug":601,"is_fiction":17},40,"Suspense","suspense",[],{"pace":119,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":604,"themes":605,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[256,175,123],[324],{"key":607,"params":608,"works":609},"genre",{"genre":36},[610,647,676,706,728,746],{"id":611,"slug":612,"title":613,"description":614,"primary_cover_url":615,"cover_blurhash":616,"first_publish_year":617,"community_rating_avg":618,"community_rating_count":85,"page_count":619,"authors":620,"genres":625,"series":642,"enrichment":643},"01kjqxshyz61m2czb9z2ge03rz","the-bell-jar-fr3g","The Bell Jar","Esther Greenwood is bright, ambitious, and, by every outward measure, succeeding. Awarded a coveted month-long guest editorship at a New York fashion magazine in the summer of 1953, she moves through a world of luncheons, parties, and photo shoots that leaves her feeling numb rather than dazzled. Beneath the polished surface, she finds herself unable to reconcile the future she is expected to want — marriage, motherhood, quiet domesticity — with the writer and free self she longs to become.\n\nWhen Esther returns home to the Boston suburbs, the disconnection deepens into a full mental collapse. Sylvia Plath traces her descent with unnerving clarity, following Esther through insomnia, paralysis, and hospitalization, and into a course of psychiatric treatment that is by turns frightening and, eventually, steadying. The bell jar of the title becomes Plath's enduring image for depression: a transparent enclosure that seals a person off from the air everyone else breathes.\n\nPublished in 1963 shortly before Plath's death, and drawing closely on her own experiences, The Bell Jar is a landmark of twentieth-century literature. Its sharp, wry, unsparing voice made it a touchstone for readers grappling with mental illness and with the narrow expectations placed on women in mid-century America — a portrait that remains startlingly immediate.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjqxshyz61m2czb9z2ge03rz.jpg","LGF;[@RNEnIo}?RjIqbc4pK6M_%2",1963,"3.69",326,[621],{"id":622,"slug":623,"name":624},"01kjqxshz7fy35z2w9j67t1g67","sylvia-plath-p0us","Sylvia Plath",[626,627,628,632,633,637,641],{"id":499,"name":500,"slug":501,"is_fiction":17},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":629,"name":630,"slug":631,"is_fiction":17},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":217,"name":218,"slug":219,"is_fiction":17},{"id":634,"name":635,"slug":636,"is_fiction":17},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":638,"name":639,"slug":640,"is_fiction":16},96,"Psychology","psychology",{"id":573,"name":574,"slug":575,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":119,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":644,"themes":645,"setting_period":7,"summary":646,"content_warnings":7},[256,199],[],"A talented, ambitious young woman in 1950s New England spirals into a mental breakdown while struggling with the expectations of her generation.

So why is his whole life quietly coming apart? As a savage storm barrels toward Brisbane, Noah is swept into a swirling squall of secrets, forced to reckon with the stories he chased and the ones he has spent years refusing to tell.\n\nMoving between ambition and marriage, truth-telling and truth-omitting, self-deception and self-preservation, Trent Dalton's novel asks how the stories we lock away come to define us. It is at once a mystery, a portrait of a marriage, and a meditation on the cost of a life built on other people's tragedies.\n\nDescribed by Dalton as the most personal book he has written, Gravity Let Me Go is a tender, propulsive, big-hearted novel from the bestselling author of Boy Swallows Universe.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kttejgwrcah4vy4pxtaxt3p0.jpg?v=6d486d1736","LPGc}htPv[xb0cbX$-WB?IR*NWM{","4.50",420,[686],{"id":687,"slug":688,"name":689},"01ktt0xmy8j9z3qe05pp08r42r","trent-dalton-fgoq","Trent Dalton",[691,692,695,696,700,701],{"id":217,"name":218,"slug":219,"is_fiction":17},{"id":108,"name":693,"slug":694,"is_fiction":17},"Mystery","mystery",{"id":629,"name":630,"slug":631,"is_fiction":17},{"id":697,"name":698,"slug":699,"is_fiction":17},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":573,"name":574,"slug":575,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":554,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":704,"themes":705,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[256,175,199],[],{"id":707,"slug":708,"title":709,"description":710,"primary_cover_url":711,"cover_blurhash":712,"first_publish_year":713,"community_rating_avg":333,"community_rating_count":243,"page_count":714,"authors":715,"genres":720,"series":723,"enrichment":724},"01kx2eeex68x56gxr9dswjatn8","incendiary-xyvh","Incendiary","A distraught woman writes a letter to Osama bin Laden after her four-year-old son and her husband are killed in a massive suicide bomb attack at a soccer match in London. She tries to convince Osama to abandon his terror campaign by revealing to him the desperate sadness - \"I am a woman built on the wreckage of myself\"--And the broken heart of a working-class life blown apart. But the bombing is only the beginning. While security measures transform London into a virtual occupied territory, the narrator, too, finds herself under siege. At first she gains strength by fighting back, taking a civilian job with the police to aid the antiterrorist effort. But when she becomes involved with an upper-class couple, she is drawn into a psychological maelstrom of guilt, ambition, and cynicism that erodes her faith in the society she's working to defend. And when a new bomb threat sends the city into a deadly panic she is pushed to acts of unfathomable desperation - perhaps her only chance for survival.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2eeey4ts876yx4aqx8yt64.jpg?v=b5cefe8d96","L~Ms+OWXjboM{boJj?jYY2n+bHf*",2006,292,[716],{"id":717,"slug":718,"name":719},"01knsymrqx8ppyrq6bahge97vk","chris-cleave-iy5m","Chris Cleave",[721,722],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":573,"name":574,"slug":575,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":119,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":725,"themes":726,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[256,175,199],[727],"survival",{"id":729,"slug":730,"title":731,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":732,"cover_blurhash":733,"first_publish_year":354,"community_rating_avg":242,"community_rating_count":243,"page_count":13,"authors":734,"genres":739,"series":742,"enrichment":743},"01kx2detcgt4sqcfm0e80j6v0r","in-the-quick-fag8","In the Quick","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2detcwesch8t151pfwsr5y.jpg?v=1d5826a1e2","LGP#]On%}]-VI:WBxaxu$Qa|S2s:",[735],{"id":736,"slug":737,"name":738},"01kx2detcsea4bfs9rj9xeeyy1","kate-hope-day-n5ed","Kate Hope Day",[740,741],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":573,"name":574,"slug":575,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":554,"complexity":7,"audience":121,"mood":744,"themes":745,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[256,175],[],{"id":747,"slug":748,"title":749,"description":750,"primary_cover_url":751,"cover_blurhash":752,"first_publish_year":587,"community_rating_avg":308,"community_rating_count":243,"page_count":753,"authors":754,"genres":759,"series":762,"enrichment":763},"01kx2bqt4w2ddfz8jsn72106k2","milkman-jh2t","Milkman","Set during the height of The Troubles in 1970s Northern Ireland, this novel follows an unnamed eighteen-year-old woman as she is stalked and harassed by a man known only as Milkman — a high-ranking paramilitary figure who becomes obsessed with her.
