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. Sex, opulence, murder -- What's not to love?\" -- Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants\"A detailed and intimate portrait of the Ritz of brothels, the famed Everleigh Club of turn-of-the-century Chicago.

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,[882],{"id":883,"slug":884,"name":885},"01kx6nb384563fnrc58ymtnd9m","ian-vorres-idbg","Ian Vorres",[887,888,892,896],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":889,"name":890,"slug":891,"is_fiction":19},55,"World War I","world-war-i",{"id":893,"name":894,"slug":895,"is_fiction":18},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":178,"name":179,"slug":180,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":235,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":899,"themes":900,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[117,198],[119,532],{"id":902,"slug":903,"title":904,"description":905,"primary_cover_url":906,"cover_blurhash":907,"first_publish_year":908,"community_rating_avg":782,"community_rating_count":493,"page_count":909,"authors":910,"genres":915,"series":918,"enrichment":919},"01kx7cv142998my6mjqph18fq3","the-seventh-veil-of-salome-a-gma-book-club-pick-tn2c","The Seventh Veil of Salome: A GMA Book Club Pick","GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK • A young woman wins the role of a lifetime in a film about a legendary heroine—but the real drama is behind the scenes in this sumptuous historical epic from the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic. “Whenever I want to read a book I know will be good, I go to Silvia Moreno-Garcia.”—Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, BookPage, CrimeReads 1950s Hollywood: Every actress wants to play Salome, the star-making role in a big-budget movie about the legendary woman whose story has inspired artists since ancient times. So when the film’s mercurial director casts Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingenue, in the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town. Vera also becomes an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, a bit player whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves. Two actresses, both determined to make it to the top in Golden Age Hollywood—a city overflowing with gossip, scandal, and intrigue—make for a sizzling combination. But this is the tale of three women, for it is also the story of the princess Salome herself, consumed with desire for the fiery prophet who foretells the doom of her stepfather, Herod: a woman torn between the decree of duty and the yearning of her heart. Before the curtain comes down, there will be tears and tragedy aplenty in this sexy Technicolor saga.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7cv14d6cg47j5wmm3c4a7g.jpg?v=65e5ef8e04","L4Ac6%Rn0L1H{eEM?Gb]02E|^P}Y",2024,352,[911],{"id":912,"slug":913,"name":914},"01kjv2nvnbabh774q7e90dkdnk","silvia-moreno-garcia-2wbg","Silvia Moreno-Garcia",[916,917],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":174,"name":175,"slug":176,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":80,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":920,"themes":921,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[117,197],[532,241],{"id":923,"slug":924,"title":925,"description":926,"primary_cover_url":927,"cover_blurhash":928,"first_publish_year":829,"community_rating_avg":194,"community_rating_count":493,"page_count":100,"authors":929,"genres":934,"series":937,"enrichment":938},"01kx2fm6t06rfdfy0fn0sr6gds","edmund-bertrams-diary-wznd","Edmund Bertram's diary","At ten years of age, Fanny Price came to live with Edmund Bertram and his family at Mansfield Park.
