A sanatorium, a deadly disease, and a dire nursing shortage. In the pre-antibiotic days when tuber­culosis stirred people’s darkest fears, killing one in seven, white nurses at Sea View, New York’s largest municipal hospital, began quitting en masse. Desperate to avert a public health crisis, city officials summoned Black southern nurses, luring them with promises of good pay, a career, and an escape from the stric­tures of Jim Crow. But after arriving, they found themselves on an isolated hilltop in the remote borough of Staten Island, yet again confronting racism and consigned to a woefully understaffed sanatorium, dubbed “the pest house,” where it was said that “no one left alive.” Spanning the Great Depression and moving through World War II and beyond, this remarkable true story follows the intrepid young women known by their patients as the “Black Angels.” For twenty years, they risked their lives work­ing under appalling conditions while caring for New York’s poorest residents, who languished in wards, waiting to die, or became guinea pigs for experimental surgeries and often deadly drugs. But despite their major role in desegregating the New York City hospital system—and their vital work in helping to find the cure for tuberculo­sis at Sea View—these nurses were completely erased from history. The Black Angels recovers the voices of these extraordinary women and puts them at the center of this riveting story, celebrating their legacy and spirit of survival.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kt4s3s2w3ymrv7bxab0r8xjv.jpg?v=e0fe0f484a","LQNmm9%f~Wjs9aRQNHkC%$en9tt7",2023,457,[218],{"id":219,"slug":220,"name":221},"01kt4s3s2m4bq8y8wwjq5053fh","maria-smilios-jzhc","Maria Smilios",[223,224,225,226,230],{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":19},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":227,"name":228,"slug":229,"is_fiction":19},117,"Medicine","medicine",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":108,"complexity":7,"audience":110,"mood":233,"themes":234,"setting_period":7,"summary":239,"content_warnings":7},[112,149,113,206],[235,236,237,238],"survival","fish-out-of-water","redemption-arc","found-family","In 1929 New York City, a deadly tuberculosis epidemic led to a severe nursing shortage at Sea View, the city's largest municipal hospital.

To do it she summons Monique Grant, an unknown magazine writer, and offers her the story of a lifetime — an exclusive biography that will only be published after Evelyn's death.\n\nOver a series of long afternoons, Evelyn recounts her rise from a poor Cuban neighborhood in Hell's Kitchen to the pinnacle of mid-century stardom: the seven marriages that made headlines, the ruthless ambition that fueled her career, and the one great love she spent her whole life protecting. As the confession deepens, Monique begins to wonder why Evelyn chose her, and what the fading star still stands to gain by telling everything.\n\nTold largely through Evelyn's own unflinching voice, Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel is a story about the cost of fame, the compromises women make to seize power in a world designed against them, and the difference between the public image and the private heart.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5s63redz87wyv08b9b8ah.jpg","LGCP^JIuU{KK}ZS6wMS2MLkWpGi{","3.67",6,[512],{"id":513,"slug":514,"name":515},"01kjq809s1bz8jkha881zbv9c5","taylor-jenkins-reid-jk5i","Taylor Jenkins Reid",[517,518,522,526,530,534,538],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":519,"name":520,"slug":521,"is_fiction":18},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",{"id":523,"name":524,"slug":525,"is_fiction":18},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":527,"name":528,"slug":529,"is_fiction":18},4,"Romance","romance",{"id":531,"name":532,"slug":533,"is_fiction":18},36,"LGBTQ+ Romance","lgbtq-romance",{"id":535,"name":536,"slug":537,"is_fiction":18},9,"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":539,"name":540,"slug":541,"is_fiction":18},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[543],{"id":544,"slug":545,"name":546,"position":95,"is_main_entry":18,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kve2ck560hws5hr6hqne7fwn","the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-universe-pysh","The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Universe",{"pace":108,"complexity":7,"audience":110,"mood":548,"themes":549,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[146,149],[288,550],"dual-timeline",{"id":552,"slug":553,"title":554,"description":555,"primary_cover_url":556,"cover_blurhash":557,"first_publish_year":558,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":455,"authors":559,"genres":564,"series":580,"enrichment":581},"01kjq83x73n068xsj6zafqe2rg","im-glad-my-mom-died-jwo4","I'm Glad My Mom Died","Jennette McCurdy was six years old when her mother enrolled her in acting, chasing the Hollywood dream she wanted for herself.

It is a book about untangling love from harm, and about learning to want a life of one's own.\n\nA number-one New York Times bestseller that spent years on the list, I'm Glad My Mom Died became one of the most talked-about memoirs of the decade for the clarity and dark wit McCurdy brings to painful material.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4ndmbhgttfmvd27t53x17.jpg","LCQjNP#W_U-VqdoypIi{l]X8P5S1",2022,[560],{"id":561,"slug":562,"name":563},"01kjq83x76re88b05ktxx3jc8n","jennette-mccurdy-f11u","Jennette McCurdy",[565,569,570,574,578,579],{"id":566,"name":567,"slug":568,"is_fiction":19},96,"Psychology","psychology",{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":19},{"id":571,"name":572,"slug":573,"is_fiction":19},78,"Health","health",{"id":575,"name":576,"slug":577,"is_fiction":19},72,"Self-Help & Psychology","self-help-psychology",{"id":395,"name":396,"slug":397,"is_fiction":19},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":108,"complexity":7,"audience":110,"mood":582,"themes":584,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[583,442,149],"dark",[],{"id":586,"slug":587,"title":588,"description":589,"primary_cover_url":590,"cover_blurhash":591,"first_publish_year":272,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":592,"authors":593,"genres":598,"series":607,"enrichment":608},"01kjq72p2nrhssejm0m2mn02v2","born-a-crime-rsol","Born a Crime","Born a Crime (2016) is Trevor Noah's sharp, funny, and moving memoir of growing up mixed-race in South Africa during the final years of apartheid and the turbulent decade that followed.\n\nThe son of a Black Xhosa mother and a white Swiss father, Noah was born when such a union was literally illegal — his very existence was evidence of a crime. He recounts a childhood spent partly in hiding, navigating the absurd and brutal logic of a system built on racial classification, and the poverty, violence, and improvised survival of township life after apartheid's fall.\n\nAt the center of every story is his mother, Patricia — fearless, devout, stubborn, and endlessly resourceful — whose tough love and refusal to be limited shaped the man Noah became.

Drawing on more than three decades of work with combat veterans, abused children, and survivors of assault and disaster, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk shows how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers' capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control and trust.\n\nBlending clinical case studies with cutting-edge neuroscience, van der Kolk explains why traumatized people are haunted by intolerable sensations and emotions long after the danger has passed, and why talk therapy alone is often not enough. He then explores a range of treatments — from EMDR and neurofeedback to yoga, theatre, and mindfulness — that can help the brain to \"rewire\" itself and reactivate the innate capacity for healing.\n\nThe Body Keeps the Score is a landmark work on the science of trauma and recovery, arguing with clarity and compassion that by understanding how trauma lives in the body, we can find genuine paths back to wholeness.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksys4jkraynr2ae4fwwtazjk.jpg","L4BOa#tn0btn5AflxVae04jE-1WB",2014,2,520,[862],{"id":863,"slug":864,"name":865},"01kjq6w9cgyssmewfh75ws11tt","bessel-van-der-kolk-k4kz","Bessel van der Kolk",[867,868,869,870,871,872,873,874],{"id":566,"name":567,"slug":568,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":794,"name":795,"slug":796,"is_fiction":19},{"id":575,"name":576,"slug":577,"is_fiction":19},{"id":571,"name":572,"slug":573,"is_fiction":19},{"id":227,"name":228,"slug":229,"is_fiction":19},{"id":788,"name":789,"slug":790,"is_fiction":19},{"id":636,"name":637,"slug":638,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":108,"complexity":7,"audience":110,"mood":877,"themes":878,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[113,146,849],[],{"id":880,"slug":881,"title":882,"description":883,"primary_cover_url":884,"cover_blurhash":885,"first_publish_year":886,"community_rating_avg":887,"community_rating_count":888,"page_count":889,"authors":890,"genres":899,"series":921,"enrichment":922},"01kjssmfjmzpaj1zk3z41j85am","american-psycho-wglu","American Psycho","Patrick Bateman is twenty-six, works on Wall Street, dines at the city's most exclusive restaurants, and is obsessed with status: the right business card, the right skincare regimen, the right reservation.

Bateman's colleagues are interchangeable; no one truly sees him, and his confessions are met with indifference or misheard entirely. The book leaves it deliberately unclear how much of the violence is real and how much is the fantasy of a man dissolving into the culture that made him.\n\nNotorious for its brutality and long a lightning rod for controversy, it remains a defining work of transgressive fiction — a cold, funny, and genuinely disturbing portrait of emptiness dressed as success.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz63dz75x0ck7q9b61bzm3w.jpg","LBEJGG1{{M=H,Gw{xZag2[#-6%K3",1991,"5.00",1,464,[891,895],{"id":892,"slug":893,"name":894},"01kjssmfqwtcnctbx9216tf2gq","bret-easton-ellis-lhth","Bret Easton Ellis",{"id":896,"slug":897,"name":898},"01kjssmfrmag6ftbt9v65s2rwc","mariano-antolin-rato-nl6q","Mariano Antolín Rato",[900,904,905,906,910,914,915,916,920],{"id":901,"name":902,"slug":903,"is_fiction":18},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":523,"name":524,"slug":525,"is_fiction":18},{"id":535,"name":536,"slug":537,"is_fiction":18},{"id":907,"name":908,"slug":909,"is_fiction":18},7,"Horror","horror",{"id":911,"name":912,"slug":913,"is_fiction":18},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":566,"name":567,"slug":568,"is_fiction":19},{"id":917,"name":918,"slug":919,"is_fiction":18},118,"Satire","satire",{"id":435,"name":436,"slug":437,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":108,"complexity":7,"audience":110,"mood":923,"themes":924,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[583,442],[369],{"id":926,"slug":927,"title":928,"description":929,"primary_cover_url":930,"cover_blurhash":931,"first_publish_year":192,"community_rating_avg":818,"community_rating_count":888,"page_count":932,"authors":933,"genres":946,"series":960,"enrichment":965},"01krp0e5c4qq6s6fvjvvgzqd9k","alhdath-alsayl-5gqi","الحداثة السائلة","This book explores the shift from \"solid\" to \"liquid\" modernity, a period where traditional certainties have dissolved into constant flux.
