You must always paint love.' The young Mary Cassatt never thought moving to Paris after the Civil War was going to be easy, but when, after a decade of work, her submission to the Paris Salon is rejected, Mary's fierce determination wavers. Her father is imploring her to return to Philadelphia to find a husband before it is too late, her sister Lydia is falling mysteriously ill, and worse, Mary is beginning to doubt herself. Then one evening a friend introduces her to Edgar Degas and her life changes forever. Years later she will learn that he had begged the introduction, but in that moment their meeting seems a miracle. So begins the defining period of her life and the most tempestuous of relationships. In I Always Loved You, Robin Oliveira brilliantly re-creates the irresistible world of Bell Époque Paris, writing with grace and uncommon insight into the passion and foibles of the human heart. 'What a joy it is to be back in Bell Époque Paris with my old artist friends, guided by the masterful pen of Robin Oliveira whose finely crafted language brings to light the complicated relationships of four of the principals of the Impressionist movement - Cassatt, Degas, Manet, Morisot. Only an omniscient narrator has the latitude to disclose the private yearnings and fears of these four as they grapple with issues of art execution, scathing reviews, self-doubt, elusive fame, tempestuous love, and creeping morality. Here, in beautiful prose, juicy with nuance and depth, is the intimate, heart-wrenching story behind Impressionist art history, with Mary Cassatt at its center. A glorious achievement.' Susan Vreeland, author of Luncheon of the Boating Party 'I Always Loved Youis a marvelous work, enthralling, illuminating, and beautifully rendered. Robin Oliveira brings Bell Époque Paris and the fascinating artists and writers who walked its streets and filled its salons to the fullness of vivid, fiercely passionate life.' Jennifer Chiaverini, author of Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker 'Oliveira's breathtaking, cinematic novel transported me to late-nineteenth-century Paris, to lively salons and cafés, and to the refuge of the studio . . . This story reveals what it means to be an artist who is also a woman, and you will feel both the anguish and the triumph down in your bones.' Kelly O'Connor McNees, author of The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott 'In artfully crafted prose as penetrating and radiant as an Impressionist masterpiece, Robin Oliveira's moving portrait of Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas is a poignant reminder that beneath the majestic sweep of history and ideas are men and women with yearnings and trepidations as urgent and palpable as our own. I Always Loved Youevokes, in brilliant detail, the nuances of culture, art, and society in the cafés and salons of late-nineteenth-century Paris while bringing to life the spellbinding whirl of artists, writers, and savants who made La Belle Époque legendary.'

H. H. Holmes, a charismatic young doctor, built a block-long building near the fairgrounds outfitted with hidden rooms, a gas chamber, and a basement crematorium. Using the anonymity of the fair's crowds — young women drawn to the city for work, tourists passing through — Holmes lured victims into his \"World's Fair Hotel\" and killed an unknown number of them, a case that later shaped how Americans understood the idea of a serial killer.\n\nLarson tells both stories side by side, drawing on letters, court records, and contemporary newspapers to reconstruct the fair's engineering triumphs — the first Ferris wheel, the electric-lit \"White City\" itself — against the quiet horror unfolding a few streets away. It's history written with the momentum of a thriller, without inventing dialogue or events the record doesn't support.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4bjx00dcw0rhx8he9snv7.jpg","L7BpOc~WMy9Z$~j?j[WC004.WB-:",2003,"4.60",5,464,[111],{"id":112,"slug":113,"name":114},"01kjr3bm2ecv24y30jptevz83v","erik-larson-nnxy","Erik Larson",[116,117,118,122,126,130],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"is_fiction":18},70,"History","history",{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":18},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"is_fiction":18},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":131,"name":132,"slug":133,"is_fiction":18},115,"Architecture","architecture",[],{"pace":136,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":137,"themes":140,"setting_period":7,"summary":141,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[138,139],"dark","tense",[],"Two parallel stories unfold in 1893 Chicago: Daniel Burnham, the visionary architect behind the World's Columbian Exposition, races to build a world-class fair while battling fire, funding shortages, and engineering failures; and H.H.

When Beatrice of Savoy, countess of Provence, sends her four beautiful, accomplished daughters to become queens, she admonishes them: Family comes first. As a result, the daughters--Marguerite, queen of France; Eleanor, queen of England; Sanchia, queen of Germany; and Beatrice, queen of Sicily--work not only to expand their husbands' empires and broker peace between nations, but also to bring the House of Savoy to greater power and influence than before. Their father's death, however, tears the sisters apart, pitting them against one another for the legacy each believes rightfully hers--Provence itself. Told from alternating points of view of all four queens, and set in the tumultuous thirteenth century, this is a tale of greed, lust, ambition, and sibling rivalry on a royal scale, exploring the meaning of true power and bringing to life four of the most celebrated women of their time--each of whom had an impact on the history of Europe. \"-- \"This historical novel follows four daughters of Beatrice of Savoy, all of whom became queens in medieval Europe\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7cjc9ew05z9wpczw4232da.jpg?v=07b1453e73","L26*8f0KB;R5}?M|0#$e~CE1%#RP",2012,"4.00",[291],{"id":292,"slug":293,"name":294},"01kx7cj9nge8qdzv2geq8p791v","sherry-jones-mx7n","Sherry Jones",[296,297,298],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":136,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":301,"themes":302,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[224,139],[251,303],"rivals",{"id":305,"slug":306,"title":307,"description":308,"primary_cover_url":309,"cover_blurhash":310,"first_publish_year":311,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":109,"authors":312,"genres":317,"series":320,"enrichment":321},"01kx7dcwp6me3khthbepwta3rb","madame-tussaud-a-novel-of-the-french-revolution-pci5","Madame Tussaud A Novel of the French Revolution","The world knows Madame Tussaud as a wax artist extraordinaire . . . but who was this woman who became one of the most famous sculptresses of all time? In these pages, her tumultuous and amazing story comes to life as only Michelle Moran can tell it. The year is 1788, and a revolution is about to begin.   Smart and ambitious, Marie Tussaud has learned the secrets of wax sculpting by working alongside her uncle in their celebrated wax museum, the Salon de Cire. From her popular model of the American ambassador, Thomas Jefferson, to her tableau of the royal family at dinner, Marie's museum provides Parisians with the very latest news on fashion, gossip, and even politics. Her customers hail from every walk of life, yet her greatest dream is to attract the attention of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI; their stamp of approval on her work could catapult her and her museum to the fame and riches she desires. After months of anticipation, Marie learns that the royal family is willing to come and see their likenesses. When they finally arrive, the king's sister is so impressed that she requests Marie's presence at Versailles as a royal tutor in wax sculpting. It is a request Marie knows she cannot refuse--even if it means time away from her beloved Salon and her increasingly dear friend, Henri Charles.   As Marie gets to know her pupil, Princesse Élisabeth, she also becomes acquainted with the king and queen, who introduce her to the glamorous life at court. From lavish parties with more delicacies than she's ever seen to rooms filled with candles lit only once before being discarded, Marie steps into a world entirely different from her home on the Boulevard du Temple, where people are selling their teeth in order to put food on the table.   Meanwhile, many resent the vast separation between rich and poor.

Sisi tells the little-known story of Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, the Princess Diana of her time, in an enthralling work of historical fiction that is also a gripping page-turner. Married to Emperor Franz Joseph, Elisabeth--fondly known as Sisi--captures the hearts of her people as their \"fairy queen,\" but beneath that dazzling persona lives a far more complex figure. In mid-nineteenth-century Vienna, the halls of the Hofburg Palace buzz not only with imperial waltzes and champagne but with temptations, rivals, and cutthroat intrigue. Feeling stifled by strict protocols and a turbulent marriage, Sisi grows restless. A free-spirited wanderer, she finds solace at her estate outside Budapest. There she rides her beloved horses and enjoys visits from the Hungarian statesman Count Andrássy, the man with whom she's unwittingly fallen in love. But tragic news brings Sisi out of her fragile seclusion, forcing her to return to her capital and a world of gossip, envy, and sorrow where a dangerous fate lurks in the shadows. Through love affairs and loss, dedication and defiance, Sisi struggles against conflicting desires: to keep her family together, or to flee amid the collapse of her suffocating marriage and the gathering tumult of the First World War. In an age of crumbling monarchies, Sisi fights to assert her right to the throne beside her husband, to win the love of her people and the world, and to save an empire. But in the end, can she save herself? Featuring larger-than-life historic figures such as Bavaria's \"Mad King Ludwig\" and the tragic Crown Prince Rudolf, and set against many of Europe's grandest sites--from Germany's storied Neuschwanstein Castle to England's lush shires--Sisi brings to life an extraordinary woman and the romantic, volatile era over which she presided. Praise for Sisi \"Pataki successfully juggles numerous political and personal plot lines while maintaining her focus on a fascinating central character. . . . Readers of Pataki's first book will want to know the rest of Sisi's story, but this novel stands on its own for historical fiction fans.\"--Library Journal \"A deeply moving book about a complex character.\"--BookPage \"A satisfying saga of the late Habsburg period.\"--Kirkus Reviews \"Pataki brings richness and relevance to the story of the woman who worked tirelessly to protect the face of an empire.\"--Publishers Weekly \"Pataki simply stuns me with each new book. I savor each page. Sisi is her best yet!\"--Kathie Lee Gifford \"Readers will enjoy the glorious dilemma of whether to turn the pages swiftly, breathlessly following Empress Sisi from one astonishing, heartbreaking adventure to the next, or to linger and luxuriate in Pataki's vivid, sumptuous descriptions of the Habsburg court.\"--Jennifer Chiaverini, New York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker \"This entire novel is irresistible--completely impossible to put down! Pataki reimagines the reign of the nineteenth-century Princess Diana in this stunning book.\"--Michelle Moran, internationally bestselling author of Rebel Queen \"Emotional, exuberant, masterly, Sisi swept me into the glittering, treacherous world of the waning Habsburg empire. A must-read.\"--Lynn Cullen, bestselling author of Mrs. Poe","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7d8a2bw15207a1tmqgdvhj.jpg?v=0f33d21bc4","L7Edn]-CQ9=d_%r?$jNG00WAl8OY",459,[354],{"id":355,"slug":356,"name":357},"01kx7d888f4tn955539br3fvzn","allison-pataki-wtf9","Allison Pataki",[359,360],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":84,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":363,"themes":364,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,186],[93],{"id":366,"slug":367,"title":368,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":369,"cover_blurhash":370,"first_publish_year":371,"community_rating_avg":372,"community_rating_count":151,"page_count":373,"authors":374,"genres":379,"series":382,"enrichment":383},"01kx7djn1b0z9wsm0x3ry84qsa","brigid-of-kildare-uagv","Brigid of Kildare","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7djn1x8m85w6c31xdrs9ex.jpg?v=8759c57f29","L4K1XMEm^gp000WWxaof~AadWVn$",2009,"2.00",238,[375],{"id":376,"slug":377,"name":378},"01kx7djn1ss6p5b2deyz5n9dsd","heather-terrell-twld","Heather Terrell",[380,381],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":136,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":384,"themes":386,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[224,385],"mysterious",[],[388,563,726,863],{"key":389,"params":390,"works":391},"theme",{"theme":92},[392,431,461,482,505,532],{"id":393,"slug":394,"title":395,"description":396,"primary_cover_url":397,"cover_blurhash":398,"first_publish_year":399,"community_rating_avg":400,"community_rating_count":108,"page_count":401,"authors":402,"genres":407,"series":418,"enrichment":423},"01kjsqczch696dy0mg6t9gmx7g","after-wnas","After","Tessa Young has her life mapped out: a devoted boyfriend, a supportive mother, and a promising academic future.

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?

Layd Arbella Stuart emerges, through Sara Gristwood's masterly storytelling, as a most contemporary royal, a young woman determined to shape her own destiny in the midst of her plot-ridden world. Arbella was part Tudor, part Stuart, and a niece of Mary, Queen of Scots. She was introduced at court as a young girl and acknowledged as the heir to the throne by Elizabeth I. As Gristwood brilliantly shows, Arbella was literally too royal for her own good. A critical pawn in the struggle for succession, particularly during the long, tense period when Elizabeth lay dying, the young Arbella endured years of isolation, confined amid the rural splendors of Hardwick Hall by her scheming and powerful grandmother. The accession of James I, Arbella's first cousin, ended her royal aspirations but thrust her into James's licentious court. Then, at age thirty-five, Arbella risked everything to make her own forbidden marriage. An escape in disguise, a wild flight abroad, and capture at sea led, in the end, to an agonizing death in the Tower of London. Yet nothing is as remarkable as the almost modern freedom with which, in a series of extraordinary letters -- as passionate and extensive as those of any other woman of this suffocating age -- Arbella Stuart revealed her own compelling personality. Arbella is \"an enthralling account of an extraordinary life\" (Spectator). - Jacket flap.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7d3em3cy771hw9vycsbn3h.jpg?v=9ed67e2617","LGGRq~~U5rs8b}IpWURO9GD%%gVt",2005,450,[777],{"id":778,"slug":779,"name":780},"01kx7d3ekzdp0p49hha4zdcwzc","sarah-gristwood-3ask","Sarah Gristwood",[782,783,784],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":18},{"id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":136,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":787,"themes":788,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[224,89],[],{"id":790,"slug":791,"title":792,"description":793,"primary_cover_url":794,"cover_blurhash":795,"first_publish_year":259,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":373,"authors":796,"genres":801,"series":809,"enrichment":810},"01kx2acnq60vrwe321f58xtrtg","the-tenth-island-nqw1","The tenth island","Reporter Diana Marcum is in crisis.

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. In this official memoir, Ian Vorres captures the loneliness and violence of Olga's years in Russia, her loveless first marriage to Prince Peter of Oldenburg, her years of exile in England and Denmark, and her final settlement with her second husband and family in Canada.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nb389wtpv472vsskg8f5w.jpg?v=8f7818a0d3","LBLymSE1Q8rt4mRi%MxvY+xb*0xu",1964,256,[844],{"id":845,"slug":846,"name":847},"01kx6nb384563fnrc58ymtnd9m","ian-vorres-idbg","Ian Vorres",[849,853,857,858],{"id":850,"name":851,"slug":852,"is_fiction":19},34,"Historical Romance","historical-romance",{"id":854,"name":855,"slug":856,"is_fiction":19},55,"World War I","world-war-i",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":184,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":861,"themes":862,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,186],[93,251],{"key":864,"params":865,"works":866},"genre",{"genre":33},[867,891,913,937,967,988],{"id":868,"slug":869,"title":870,"description":871,"primary_cover_url":872,"cover_blurhash":873,"first_publish_year":512,"community_rating_avg":289,"community_rating_count":151,"page_count":874,"authors":875,"genres":880,"series":887,"enrichment":888},"01kx2bk08tj3mt47crfa5kcsk4","long-live-the-tribe-of-fatherless-girls-ucyq","Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls","\"The book I wish I'd had growing up.\" —Chanel Miller, author of Know My Name Best Books of 2019: Esquire O, The Oprah Magazine Variety Lit Hub Book Riot Electric Literature Autostraddle Finalist: NBCC John Leonard First Book Prize Lambda Literary Award New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Selection Paste Best Memoirs of the Decade Elle Best Books of the Season Washington Post Best Books of the Month Indie Next Pick Indies Introduce Pick \"A fearless debut.\" — New York Times \"[A] gorgeous reckoning.\" — Washington Post \"Flat out breathtaking.\" — Lit Hub \"Gripping and gloriously written.\" — Elle \"Utterly unforgettable.\" — NYLON \"Unnervingly satisfying.\" — Oprah Magazine \"Deeply compassionate.\" —NPR.org \"Truly stunning.\" — Cosmopolitan Acclaimed literary essayist T Kira Madden's raw and redemptive debut memoir is about coming of age and reckoning with desire as a queer, biracial teenager amidst the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where she found cult-like privilege, shocking racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hiding in plain sight. 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",1998,[922],{"id":923,"slug":924,"name":925},"01kjqz7rn338hakt9x7rffhvn0","henry-david-thoreau-lynz","Henry David Thoreau",[927,928],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":929,"name":930,"slug":931,"is_fiction":18},93,"Nature","nature",[],{"pace":184,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":934,"themes":936,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[225,935],"philosophical",[],{"id":938,"slug":939,"title":940,"description":941,"primary_cover_url":942,"cover_blurhash":943,"first_publish_year":512,"community_rating_avg":150,"community_rating_count":151,"page_count":944,"authors":945,"genres":954,"series":962,"enrichment":963},"01kx6nsge3ekzh6ggkj314rnmf","the-presidents-aomn","The Presidents","The Presidents collects the complete rankings from C-SPAN's Historians Surveys of Presidential Leadership, the long-running poll in which leading presidential historians and biographers rate every U.S. president across categories such as persuasive ability, moral authority, and administrative skill.\n\nBuilt from decades of interviews C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb and Susan Swain conducted with presidential biographers, the book profiles each of the 43 men who had served as president at the time of the 2017 survey, ordering them from the highest-ranked (Abraham Lincoln) to the lowest (James Buchanan).

Contributors include historians such as Douglas Brinkley and Richard Norton Smith.\n\nDonald Trump is not included in the rankings, since his term was still in progress when the survey and book were completed, though the closing pages touch on how historians were beginning to assess his presidency.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nsgehp0vdqs8t12m2m6hv.jpg?v=d614774246","L15rPwWY4n.T+pjYS*RN00aIbwS6",560,[946,950],{"id":947,"slug":948,"name":949},"01kx6nsgecexnj6fqc8hggkza6","brian-lamb-q5yi","Brian Lamb",{"id":951,"slug":952,"name":953},"01kx6nsged92gvzbsbys0tnt18","susan-swain-auiy","Susan Swain",[955,959,960,961],{"id":956,"name":957,"slug":958,"is_fiction":18},102,"Politics","politics",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"is_fiction":18},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":7,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":964,"themes":966,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[965,225],"informative",[],{"id":968,"slug":969,"title":970,"description":971,"primary_cover_url":972,"cover_blurhash":973,"first_publish_year":106,"community_rating_avg":150,"community_rating_count":151,"page_count":974,"authors":975,"genres":980,"series":983,"enrichment":984},"01kx6nda4pta1h739w8vjpqt3z","natashas-dance-sj6t","Natasha's Dance","Beginning in the eighteenth century with the building of St. Petersburg and culminating with the Soviet regime, Figes examines how writers, artists, and musicians grappled with the idea of Russia itself--its character, spiritual essence, and destiny.
