She's not a daughter anymore, either. What is she? 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?

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",2025,208,[683],{"id":684,"slug":685,"name":686},"01kx2aj8vkv1crptwtjvsqchvf","katie-yee-06la","Katie Yee",[688,689],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":690,"name":691,"slug":692,"is_fiction":21},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[],{"pace":60,"complexity":7,"audience":63,"mood":695,"themes":696,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[65,66],[],{"key":698,"params":699,"works":700},"genre",{"genre":36},[701,723,746,764,789,809],{"id":702,"slug":703,"title":704,"description":705,"primary_cover_url":706,"cover_blurhash":707,"first_publish_year":708,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":709,"authors":710,"genres":715,"series":718,"enrichment":719},"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]",2007,296,[711],{"id":712,"slug":713,"name":714},"01kx2bce055c6barrt36w8vkvb","thrity-n-umrigar-ambm","Thrity N.

Overworked and underpaid, she lives in a blur of back-to-back classes, side hustles, and job applications for an ever-dwindling number of tenure-track jobs. 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. Then she learns that Tom left his old job for undisclosed reasons—and his long-awaited second novel is about a professor reckoning with his checkered past. As rumors spread that Sam is the inspiration behind a central character, she fights to regain control of the story. An “entertaining, provocative” (Brooklyn Rail) look at how hustle culture has come to define modern academia, The Adjunct offers a bold twist on a tangled MeToo story and turns Sam’s downward spiral into a searing critique of class and the hollow promises of the American dream.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2b7r6a2n3dch6m59kekf4a.jpg?v=ee37c1e789","L9Q$3B_3*Kl;8wMd-:d9p1VHHVxn",2026,352,[774],{"id":775,"slug":776,"name":777},"01kx2b7r63kzcfzgh9pxyhnf7s","maria-adelmann-sis1","Maria Adelmann",[779,783],{"id":780,"name":781,"slug":782,"is_fiction":21},118,"Satire","satire",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":98,"complexity":7,"audience":63,"mood":786,"themes":788,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[787,650],"funny",[515],{"id":790,"slug":791,"title":792,"description":793,"primary_cover_url":794,"cover_blurhash":795,"first_publish_year":153,"community_rating_avg":177,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":796,"authors":797,"genres":802,"series":805,"enrichment":806},"01kx24r6mag3enf51683esxgr0","the-safety-of-objects-bogn","The Safety of Objects","Published to overwhelming critical acclaim, this remarkable collection of short stories established A.
