Emotional, addictive, and unabashedly dramatic, it's a story of obsessive first love and the messy work of figuring out who you are.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4pahbs86c2aqeke7xpavp.jpg","LCBhy5lo#7xa0KVrMdNu00x]RjV@",2015,"2.50",5,592,[375],{"id":376,"slug":377,"name":378},"01kjsqcze2et74d9z2cvgk4my5","anna-todd-rai8","Anna Todd",[380,381,382,383],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":348,"name":349,"slug":350,"is_fiction":20},{"id":180,"name":181,"slug":182,"is_fiction":20},{"id":384,"name":385,"slug":386,"is_fiction":20},207,"New Adult Romance","new-adult-romance",[388],{"id":389,"slug":390,"name":366,"position":391,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjsv7fgfac485d357jn1897z","after-qodd","1.00",{"pace":189,"complexity":7,"audience":323,"mood":393,"themes":394,"setting_period":7,"summary":397,"content_warnings":7},[150,276,222],[154,278,395,396],"slow-burn","grumpy-sunshine","A sheltered freshman at Washington State University crosses paths with Hardin Scott — her reckless, scarred stepbrother who has been expelled from a previous school for fighting.

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 wife gains a measure of freedom, but how does the repressive, abandoned husband feel about that freedom? Set in the early 1900s in the fictional New England college town of Thrupp, and narrated by the pompous Nicholas Van Tassel, All He Ever Wanted is at once an academic satire, a period novel, and a tale of suspense. Shreve's ability to nimbly hop through genres brings a liveliness to this story of love gone depressingly wrong. Van Tassel is an undistinguished professor of rhetoric at Thrupp College and a confirmed bachelor when he meets--in no less flamy a scenario than a hotel fire--the arresting Miss Etna Bliss. Immediately smitten, he woos and wins her. At least, he persuades her to become his wife. But Van Tassel hasn't really won her. Etna keeps her secrets and her feelings to herself. The extent of her withholding only becomes clear after a couple of kids and a decade or so of marriage. Then we find out that she's been creating a secret haven for herself all along. Van Tassel is in turn revealed--through his own priggish, puffed-up sentences--as something of a monster. The book is cleverly done; watching Etna through Van Tassel's eyes is like looking at beautiful bird from a hungry cat's point of view. But Van Tassel's voice might be too well written; he's pedantic and dull and snarky all at once, and by the end we find that we, like Etna, can't bear his company a minute longer.--Claire Dederer","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx246t19kn1s0n7xnpqy9g93.jpg?v=fdd69be1c5","LCF~BetQ?w4T00WXX9xb0fMxxa.8",2005,372,[832],{"id":833,"slug":834,"name":835},"01kx246t13e4k2f90rbmx61ang","anita-shreve-upzf","Anita Shreve",[837,838],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":308,"name":309,"slug":310,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":246,"complexity":7,"audience":148,"mood":841,"themes":842,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[150,325],[154,327,224],{"id":844,"slug":845,"title":846,"description":847,"primary_cover_url":848,"cover_blurhash":849,"first_publish_year":850,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":851,"authors":852,"genres":857,"series":860,"enrichment":861},"01kx253536nprt15k4z1wrxxzb","soul-pkjd","Soul","Learner's The Witch of Cologne is an erotically-charged novel of people swept inexorably along by events they could not control. In Soul, Learner relates the story of Lavinia and Julia Huntington, passionate women trapped in emotional whirlpools that threaten to drown them and everyone they love. In 19th century Britain, Lavinia is married to an older man who seems to appreciate her lively curiosity. Lavinia proves to be an apt pupil in both the study and the bedroom, glorying in the pleasures of the physical. In 21st century Los Angeles, geneticist Julia is trying to identify people who can kill without remorse. Stunned to discover that she seems to possess the trait she is looking for, Julia is reassured of her emotions by her intense passion for her husband and her delight in her pregnancy. In the past, Lavinia's desire for her husband grows, but his cools as he becomes fascinated with another. In the present, Julia's love overwhelms her husband, who leaves her. Lavinia and Julia feel the tortures of passion unspent. Cold logic tells them that the deaths of their tormentors will bring them peace. Separated by a hundred years, two Huntington women face the same decision.
