Led by the pigs, the most clever of the animals, the farm is renamed and the beasts set about running their world for their own benefit.\n\nBut power reshapes those who hold it. As the ambitious boar Napoleon consolidates control, the founding ideals are quietly rewritten, dissent is punished, and the promises of the revolution curdle into a tyranny that looks unsettlingly like the one it replaced. The other animals, loyal and hardworking, struggle to remember how things were meant to be.\n\nGeorge Orwell's short, savage fable uses a barnyard uprising to trace how revolutions are betrayed, how language is bent to serve power, and how easily the many can be ruled by the few.

The Losers, now scattered adults who have half-forgotten what happened to them, are called back to Derry by a promise they made as children: to return and finish what they started. King tells their story through a nonlinear structure that braids the two eras together, so that childhood and adulthood, memory and present terror, bleed into one another.\n\nOne of Stephen King's most ambitious and enduring novels, It is at once an epic horror story and a meditation on childhood, memory, friendship, and the losses that come with growing up. Beneath the monster lies a portrait of a town poisoned by its own buried violence, and of the fragile, ferocious bonds that let a group of frightened kids stand against it.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz47pqkwte0s6rtqpsy783n.jpg","LJBp98oe56of_Nj]M{j[KiWV$jbH",1987,"3.67",1106,[210],{"id":211,"slug":212,"name":213},"01kjq7cgwx9qy9qa01epjzwzdx","stephen-king-qalr","Stephen King",[215,219,222,226,230,231],{"id":216,"name":217,"slug":218,"is_fiction":16},24,"Dark Fantasy","dark-fantasy",{"id":84,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":16},"Horror","horror",{"id":223,"name":224,"slug":225,"is_fiction":16},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":227,"name":228,"slug":229,"is_fiction":16},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},{"id":232,"name":233,"slug":234,"is_fiction":16},51,"Cosmic Horror","cosmic-horror",[236],{"id":237,"slug":238,"name":239,"position":240,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kvkk2ddsk2cqbfehehtvhbjj","derry-aelz","Derry","1.00",{"pace":242,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":243,"themes":245,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[197,244],"nostalgic",[246,247],"found-family","dual-timeline",{"id":249,"slug":250,"title":251,"description":252,"primary_cover_url":253,"cover_blurhash":254,"first_publish_year":255,"community_rating_avg":207,"community_rating_count":90,"page_count":256,"authors":257,"genres":262,"series":266,"enrichment":267},"01kkfh1fjgahcsa4cd176gq30d","altot-almr-nw8b","التوت المر","التوت المر (The Bitter Mulberry) is a 1967 social-realist novel by the Tunisian writer Mohamed Laroussi el-Metoui, widely regarded as a landmark of modern Tunisian and Arabic literature.

A trip to a \"Savage Reservation\" brings them back to London with John, a young man raised on Shakespeare and outside the World State's control. His collision with a civilization that cannot understand grief, longing, or belief drives the novel toward its unsettling conclusion.\n\nBy turns satirical and chilling, Huxley's book interrogates the price of manufactured happiness and the loss of individuality in a technological age.

Books are illegal, and Guy Montag's job is to burn any that are found, along with the houses that hide them. He does his work without question until a series of encounters cracks the surface of his contented life: a curious teenage neighbor who asks whether he is really happy, a woman who chooses to die with her books rather than live without them, and a wife who has quietly given up on everything but the voices coming from the walls.\n\nUnsettled, Montag begins to steal the books he is supposed to destroy, hoping they hold whatever it is his world has lost. His awakening puts him on a collision course with his superior and with a society engineered to keep everyone entertained, medicated, and incapable of sustained thought.\n\nRay Bradbury's classic dystopian novel is a fierce, lyrical warning about censorship, mass media, and the quiet ways a culture can decide that thinking is too much trouble. Decades after publication it remains one of the most widely read and debated novels about the value of books and the cost of their loss.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7cmgpttgygq4tspg6rp8p.jpg","LAQ9M+?w^HR3L}m*S1SjIQ9EDj?v",1953,"3.47",231,[393],{"id":394,"slug":395,"name":396},"01kjq7cmf58hz75w0429j12vr0","ray-bradbury-snol","Ray Bradbury",[398,402,406,407,408,409,410],{"id":399,"name":400,"slug":401,"is_fiction":16},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":403,"name":404,"slug":405,"is_fiction":15},79,"Education","education",{"id":90,"name":292,"slug":293,"is_fiction":16},{"id":179,"name":180,"slug":181,"is_fiction":16},{"id":171,"name":172,"slug":173,"is_fiction":16},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},{"id":411,"name":412,"slug":413,"is_fiction":16},203,"Social Sci-Fi","social-sci-fi",[415],{"id":416,"slug":417,"name":385,"position":240,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kmrw84sm973e379drn8vadgc","fahrenheit-451-beqa",{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":419,"themes":420,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[197,144,146],[],{"id":422,"slug":423,"title":424,"description":425,"primary_cover_url":426,"cover_blurhash":427,"first_publish_year":428,"community_rating_avg":429,"community_rating_count":73,"page_count":430,"authors":431,"genres":436,"series":450,"enrichment":454},"01kjq7d2fvddaj2avc5hmw9gdm","dune-peln","Dune","On the desert planet Arrakis, the only source in the universe of the spice melange — a substance that extends life, expands consciousness, and makes interstellar travel possible — power is everything and water is worth more than gold. When the Emperor grants stewardship of Arrakis to House Atreides, Duke Leto knows the gift is a trap laid by his mortal enemies, House Harkonnen. He takes it anyway, moving his family and household to the harsh world of sand, sandworms, and the fierce, blue-eyed native Fremen.\n\nAt the center of the story is Leto's young son, Paul Atreides, heir to a noble house and the possible fulfilment of a centuries-old breeding program and prophecy. Betrayal scatters his world, and Paul is forced into the deep desert, where he must survive among the Fremen and reckon with a destiny that could reshape the galaxy — and cost far more than he imagines.\n\nFrank Herbert's landmark novel is a dense, layered epic of ecology, religion, politics, and the perils of messianic power. Winner of the first Nebula Award and co-winner of the Hugo, it founded one of science fiction's most influential universes and remains a touchstone of the genre.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz46djy3gb3tnw80jqgkv9r.jpg","LBMqO{}Fy@$L3Aj[wcae02g1k=WE",1965,"4.13",704,[432],{"id":433,"slug":434,"name":435},"01kjq7d2g1j1txbwyxt00thk7r","frank-herbert-fehf","Frank Herbert",[437,438,439,443,447,448,449],{"id":68,"name":190,"slug":191,"is_fiction":16},{"id":179,"name":180,"slug":181,"is_fiction":16},{"id":440,"name":441,"slug":442,"is_fiction":16},26,"Space Opera","space-opera",{"id":444,"name":445,"slug":446,"is_fiction":16},25,"Epic Fantasy","epic-fantasy",{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},{"id":90,"name":292,"slug":293,"is_fiction":16},{"id":371,"name":372,"slug":373,"is_fiction":16},[451],{"id":452,"slug":453,"name":424,"position":240,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq7d2ktgx21vjpcxqaszgx8","dune-zlrp",{"pace":242,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":455,"themes":457,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[456,197,144],"adventurous",[458,459],"chosen-one","court-intrigue",{"id":461,"slug":462,"title":463,"description":464,"primary_cover_url":465,"cover_blurhash":466,"first_publish_year":467,"community_rating_avg":468,"community_rating_count":90,"page_count":469,"authors":470,"genres":472,"series":492,"enrichment":493},"01kn0k43ee5bk97vhrnnsrfjtz","nineteen-eighty-four-3hhz","Nineteen Eighty-Four","Winston Smith works at the Ministry of Truth in Oceania, one of three perpetually warring super-states, where his job is to rewrite the historical record so that the Party is never wrong. Everywhere he goes, the face of Big Brother watches from posters and the ever-present telescreen watches back, recording every word and expression. Even a private thought against the Party is a crime punishable by death.\n\nWorn down by hunger, surveillance, and the deliberate poverty of daily life, Winston begins to keep a secret diary and to nurse a quiet, dangerous conviction that the past was different and the truth still exists somewhere outside the Party's control. When he falls into a forbidden love affair with a bold young woman named Julia, the two carve out a small world of their own and let themselves imagine resistance. Their rebellion draws the attention of the inner Party and the enigmatic official O'Brien, and Winston is forced to confront just how far a total state will go to own not only a person's actions but their mind.\n\nGeorge Orwell's 1949 novel gave the language \"Big Brother,\" \"doublethink,\" \"thoughtcrime,\" and \"Newspeak,\" and remains one of the most influential warnings ever written about totalitarianism, propaganda, and the manipulation of truth. Bleak, exact, and unsparing, it is a study of how power sustains itself by controlling memory, language, and love.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kn0k43ee5bk97vhrnnsrfjtz.jpg","LLNtnM0ey@%MRjaexFt7{z-BOXn%",1949,"3.50",238,[471],{"id":165,"slug":166,"name":167},[473,474,475,476,480,481,485,489,490,491],{"id":179,"name":180,"slug":181,"is_fiction":16},{"id":134,"name":135,"slug":136,"is_fiction":15},{"id":399,"name":400,"slug":401,"is_fiction":16},{"id":477,"name":478,"slug":479,"is_fiction":15},86,"Essays","essays",{"id":68,"name":190,"slug":191,"is_fiction":16},{"id":482,"name":483,"slug":484,"is_fiction":16},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",{"id":486,"name":487,"slug":488,"is_fiction":16},214,"Political Thriller","political-thriller",{"id":171,"name":172,"slug":173,"is_fiction":16},{"id":90,"name":292,"slug":293,"is_fiction":16},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":494,"themes":495,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[197,146],[],[497,716,884,1044],{"key":498,"params":499,"works":500},"theme",{"theme":101},[501,543,580,612,644,685],{"id":502,"slug":503,"title":504,"description":505,"primary_cover_url":506,"cover_blurhash":507,"first_publish_year":508,"community_rating_avg":117,"community_rating_count":10,"page_count":509,"authors":510,"genres":515,"series":529,"enrichment":535},"01kvnaqmxsfxz7m15mxvkb09jz","one-good-earl-deserves-a-lover-foa7","One Good Earl Deserves a Lover","Lady Philippa Marbury would rather study fossils and flora than navigate the polite expectations of the ton.

It builds to an ending readers rarely forget.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjek4vrn4y7g8yakpspwk9.jpg","LBJ5[myX0~5Q005k1@bbLM;8}toy",2017,[729,733],{"id":730,"slug":731,"name":732},"01kjraxaz8z2rssbjtsep0efpd","agustina-bazterrica-rd1b","Agustina Bazterrica",{"id":734,"slug":735,"name":736},"01kkc4xrrxp5ab4pzsvnqzgxn9","sarah-moses-en5j","Sarah Moses",[738,739,740,741,742],{"id":90,"name":292,"slug":293,"is_fiction":16},{"id":84,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":16},{"id":179,"name":180,"slug":181,"is_fiction":16},{"id":223,"name":224,"slug":225,"is_fiction":16},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":745,"themes":746,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[197,146],[],{"id":110,"slug":111,"title":112,"description":113,"primary_cover_url":114,"cover_blurhash":115,"first_publish_year":116,"community_rating_avg":117,"community_rating_count":68,"page_count":118,"authors":748,"genres":751,"series":756,"enrichment":757},[749,750],{"id":121,"slug":122,"name":123},{"id":125,"slug":126,"name":127},[752,753,754,755],{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":16},{"id":134,"name":135,"slug":136,"is_fiction":15},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},{"id":73,"name":139,"slug":140,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":758,"themes":759,"setting_period":7,"summary":151,"content_warnings":7},[144,98,145,146,147,148],[150],{"id":761,"slug":762,"title":763,"description":764,"primary_cover_url":765,"cover_blurhash":766,"first_publish_year":587,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":767,"authors":768,"genres":777,"series":788,"enrichment":789},"01kkfh3tw964cw9cdj8rvsvq5e","le-desastre-de-la-maison-des-notables-lqcg","Le désastre de la maison des notables","Spanning over fifty years of Tunisian history, this ambitious novel explores the lives of two prominent families and their entanglement with a scandal from 1935.

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{","4.31",16,400,[859],{"id":860,"slug":861,"name":862},"01kjq809s1bz8jkha881zbv9c5","taylor-jenkins-reid-jk5i","Taylor Jenkins Reid",[864,865,866,867,868,872,873],{"id":569,"name":570,"slug":571,"is_fiction":15},{"id":73,"name":139,"slug":140,"is_fiction":16},{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":16},{"id":525,"name":526,"slug":527,"is_fiction":16},{"id":869,"name":870,"slug":871,"is_fiction":16},36,"LGBTQ+ Romance","lgbtq-romance",{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},{"id":652,"name":874,"slug":875,"is_fiction":16},"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[877],{"id":878,"slug":879,"name":880,"position":240,"is_main_entry":16,"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":93,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":882,"themes":883,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[144,269],[150,247],{"key":885,"params":886,"works":887},"genre_mood",{"genre":28,"mood":97},[888,906,940,968,994,1021],{"id":329,"slug":330,"title":331,"description":332,"primary_cover_url":333,"cover_blurhash":334,"first_publish_year":335,"community_rating_avg":336,"community_rating_count":27,"page_count":337,"authors":889,"genres":891,"series":902,"enrichment":903},[890],{"id":340,"slug":341,"name":342},[892,893,894,895,896,897,898,899,900,901],{"id":345,"name":346,"slug":347,"is_fiction":15},{"id":349,"name":350,"slug":351,"is_fiction":16},{"id":353,"name":354,"slug":355,"is_fiction":15},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},{"id":358,"name":359,"slug":360,"is_fiction":15},{"id":362,"name":363,"slug":364,"is_fiction":16},{"id":366,"name":367,"slug":368,"is_fiction":16},{"id":68,"name":190,"slug":191,"is_fiction":16},{"id":371,"name":372,"slug":373,"is_fiction":16},{"id":11,"name":375,"slug":376,"is_fiction":15},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":904,"themes":905,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[144,270,97],[381],{"id":907,"slug":908,"title":909,"description":910,"primary_cover_url":911,"cover_blurhash":912,"first_publish_year":913,"community_rating_avg":117,"community_rating_count":90,"page_count":914,"authors":915,"genres":920,"series":935,"enrichment":936},"01kjq7k09an70vp2stmp0qg1zb","le-petit-prince-58hu","Le petit prince","Un aviateur tombe en panne au beau milieu du désert du Sahara, à mille milles de toute terre habitée.

He keeps careful journals, catalogues the statues, fishes and gathers seaweed, and tends the bones of the dead.\n\nPiranesi believes that only fifteen people have ever existed, and that he is the only living inhabitant apart from the Other — a well-dressed man who appears twice a week to enlist Piranesi's help in a search for A Great and Secret Knowledge. But messages start to appear that Piranesi did not write, evidence mounts of someone else moving through the halls, and the neat certainties of his journals begin to contradict one another. As he pieces the clues together, a terrible truth surfaces about who he is and how he came to the House.\n\nSusanna Clarke's spare, hypnotic second novel — winner of the 2021 Women's Prize for Fiction — is a haunting meditation on solitude, memory, and wonder, told entirely from inside one of the most singular narrators in recent fiction.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjswdg86edn956hz27wnyhh1.jpg","L37Tzrt60KoL00afkXe.~VoJ-ot7","4.50",272,[1031],{"id":1032,"slug":1033,"name":1034},"01kjswdg9qh2fpacdy3zevc87c","susanna-clarke-6tho","Susanna Clarke",[1036,1037,1038,1039],{"id":362,"name":363,"slug":364,"is_fiction":16},{"id":68,"name":190,"slug":191,"is_fiction":16},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},{"id":629,"name":630,"slug":631,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":242,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":1042,"themes":1043,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[641,144,97],[643],{"key":1045,"params":1046,"works":1047},"genre",{"genre":28},[1048,1080,1116,1142,1158,1185],{"id":1049,"slug":1050,"title":1051,"description":1052,"primary_cover_url":1053,"cover_blurhash":1054,"first_publish_year":587,"community_rating_avg":1055,"community_rating_count":349,"page_count":1056,"authors":1057,"genres":1062,"series":1072,"enrichment":1077},"01kjqtygnr8a98z1bkfjhzrt3e","the-midnight-library-zdwq","The Midnight Library","Between life and death, there is a library — and its shelves are endless. When Nora Seed reaches her lowest point, convinced she has nothing left to offer the world, she finds herself in the Midnight Library, a place suspended at the stroke of midnight where the clocks never move. Each book on its shelves opens onto a different version of the life she might have lived: the marriage she walked away from, the Olympic swimming career her father dreamed for her, the rock band she abandoned, the small choices and the enormous ones.\n\nGuided by Mrs. Elm, the school librarian who was once kind to her, Nora begins to slip between these lives, testing the shape of her regrets against the reality of the paths not taken. Each life teaches her something about the difference between the life she imagined and the one she can actually inhabit.\n\nMatt Haig's international bestseller is a warm, quietly philosophical fable about depression, regret, and the possibility of change. It asks a deceptively simple question — if you could undo every disappointment, would you? — and finds an answer in the ordinary, unglamorous business of being alive.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjx3tmgm974jvka9hzw16ny5.jpg","L99tcRt700M_00WA~ooz4UWB?]o#","4.19",299,[1058],{"id":1059,"slug":1060,"name":1061},"01kjqtygnxx0defvm5knq5pt23","matt-haig-kb3p","Matt Haig",[1063,1067,1068,1069,1070,1071],{"id":1064,"name":1065,"slug":1066,"is_fiction":16},30,"Time Travel","time-travel",{"id":68,"name":190,"slug":191,"is_fiction":16},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},{"id":362,"name":363,"slug":364,"is_fiction":16},{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":16},{"id":90,"name":292,"slug":293,"is_fiction":16},[1073],{"id":1074,"slug":1075,"name":1076,"position":240,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kmrw8rhqwvcd38d10brnjn45","the-midnight-world-qesv","The Midnight World",{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":1078,"themes":1079,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[144,270,269],[],{"id":1081,"slug":1082,"title":1083,"description":1084,"primary_cover_url":1085,"cover_blurhash":1086,"first_publish_year":1087,"community_rating_avg":1088,"community_rating_count":399,"page_count":353,"authors":1089,"genres":1095,"series":1100,"enrichment":1113},"01kjstsx50skf7n7txdftxgf2b","1984-niqg","1984","A simplified retelling of George Orwell's dystopian classic, adapted by Michael Dean for the Penguin Readers \u002F Pearson English graded-reader series at Level 4 for learners of English.\n\nWinston Smith lives in Oceania, a state where the Party controls every fact, every image, and every thought, and where the face of Big Brother watches from every wall.

His neighbor is Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire famous for the lavish parties he throws every weekend, though almost no one knows where his fortune came from or what he truly wants.\n\nThrough Nick, we learn that Gatsby's glittering displays are all in service of a single obsession: Daisy Buchanan, the woman he loved before the war and who is now married to the wealthy, brutish Tom Buchanan. As Nick is drawn into the tangled lives of the East Egg and West Egg elite, the distance between old money and new, between illusion and reality, becomes impossible to bridge.\n\nF. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel is a compact, lyrical portrait of the Jazz Age and a piercing critique of the American Dream. Its symbols — the green light across the bay, the fading eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg, the valley of ashes — have become part of the language, and its story of longing, class, and self-invention remains one of the most enduring in American literature.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6hf6gv7fy0wsfvyj48kyt.jpg","LEI4;ktT?dMb0DNFR%%ND-RMNMOb",1925,[1125],{"id":1126,"slug":1127,"name":1128},"01kjq7ncwv2mv5skbjcyd77dvs","f-scott-fitzgerald-mpl7","F.

At school Connell is well-liked and Marianne is a prickly outsider, yet a private understanding forms between them that neither is willing to make public. When both leave for Trinity College Dublin their social positions reverse, and the pull between them survives new relationships, class anxiety, long silences, and repeated misreadings of each other's intentions.\n\nSally Rooney charts the shifting balance of power between the two with unusual attention to the small betrayals and tendernesses that shape an intimate relationship. Money, status, and the difficulty of asking plainly for what you want run beneath nearly every scene, as do questions of mental health, control, and belonging.\n\nWritten in spare, present-tense prose that moves fluidly between the two characters, the novel is less a conventional romance than a study of how two people keep finding their way back to each other while struggling to say what they mean. It is a portrait of first love and its long aftershocks, and of the ordinary damage people do to those they are closest to.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz3pr95f2cejb0bvtzdh96n.jpg","LCB=tt.SVF.S*1WQaRorImInM|NG",2019,"3.54",296,[1169],{"id":1170,"slug":1171,"name":1172},"01kjr36ey7j8s2ratfqdpc0mnt","sally-rooney-qsg5","Sally Rooney",[1174,1178,1179,1180],{"id":1175,"name":1176,"slug":1177,"is_fiction":16},33,"Contemporary Romance","contemporary-romance",{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":16},{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":16},{"id":525,"name":526,"slug":527,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":93,"complexity":7,"audience":95,"mood":1183,"themes":1184,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[144,269],[],{"id":1186,"slug":1187,"title":1188,"description":1189,"primary_cover_url":1190,"cover_blurhash":1191,"first_publish_year":8,"community_rating_avg":1192,"community_rating_count":1193,"page_count":7,"authors":1194,"genres":1199,"series":1207,"enrichment":1208},"01kjqxh46c4sc1gg31pfnprrzh","where-the-crawdads-sing-czay","Where the Crawdads Sing","In the marshes of coastal North Carolina, Catherine \"Kya\" Clark grows up almost entirely alone.
