Headstrong, accomplished journalist Martha Gellhorn is confident with words but less so with men when she meets disheveled literary titan Ernest Hemingway in a dive bar. Their friendship--forged over writing, talk, and family dinners--flourishes into something undeniable in Madrid while they're covering the Spanish Civil War. Martha reveres him. The very married Hemingway is taken with Martha--her beauty, her ambition, and her fearless spirit. And as Hemingway tells her, the most powerful love stories are always set against the fury of war. The risks are so much greater. They're made for each other. With their romance unfolding as they travel the globe, Martha establishes herself as one of the world's foremost war correspondents, and Hemingway begins the novel that will win him the Nobel Prize for Literature. Beautiful Exiles is a stirring story of lovers and rivals, of the breathless attraction to power and fame, and of one woman--ahead of her time--claiming her own identity from the wreckage of love.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26yntnqnkm14cz76cfm5md.jpg?v=2682340dad","LIGQ|EAc=Y5T}?jYt6t6+@RPoff5",2018,384,[120],{"id":121,"slug":122,"name":123},"01krg431yfpv0nep6vhfebx60c","meg-waite-clayton-ag0l","Meg Waite Clayton",[125,129,130,131],{"id":126,"name":127,"slug":128,"is_fiction":20},33,"Contemporary Romance","contemporary-romance",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":95,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":134,"themes":136,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[100,135],"nostalgic",[],{"id":138,"slug":139,"title":140,"description":141,"primary_cover_url":142,"cover_blurhash":143,"first_publish_year":144,"community_rating_avg":13,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":145,"authors":146,"genres":155,"series":162,"enrichment":163},"01kwzrfwrm5xq16vceesh1dwkv","the-war-i-finally-won-bpg8","The War I Finally Won","When Ada's clubfoot is surgically fixed at last, she knows for certain that she's not what her mother said she was--damaged, deranged, crippled mentally as well as physically.

Joe is desperate to let loose and finally move beyond the heartbreak of having lost his boyfriend to the HIV\u002FAIDS epidemic. The two friends are quickly taken in by a pair of quirky, older house cleaners. But something seems off, and Joe starts to suspect the two older men of being up to something otherworldly. In truth, Howie and Lenny are members of a secret disco witch coven tasked with protecting the island—and young men like Joe—from the relentless tragedies ravaging their community. The only problem is, having lost too many of their fellow witches to the epidemic, the coven’s protective powers have been seriously damaged. Unaware of all the mystical shenanigans going on, Joe starts to fall for the super-cute bisexual ferryman who just happens to have webbed feet and an unusual ability to hold his breath underwater.

It is 1940. France has fallen. Bombs are dropping on London. And President Roosevelt is promising he won't send our boys to fight in \"foreign wars.\"But American radio gal Frankie Bard, the first woman to report from the Blitz in London, wants nothing more than to bring the war home. Frankie's radio dispatches crackle across the Atlantic ocean, imploring listeners to pay attention--as the Nazis bomb London nightly, and Jewish refugees stream across Europe. Frankie is convinced that if she can just get the right story, it will wake Americans to action and they will join the fight.Meanwhile, in Franklin, Massachusetts, a small town on Cape Cod, Iris James hears Frankie's broadcasts and knows that it is only a matter of time before the war arrives on Franklin's shores. In charge of the town's mail, Iris believes that her job is to deliver and keep people's secrets, passing along the news that letters carry. And one secret she keeps are her feelings for Harry Vale, the town mechanic, who inspects the ocean daily, searching in vain for German U-boats he is certain will come. Two single people in midlife, Iris and Harry long ago gave up hope of ever being in love, yet they find themselves unexpectedly drawn toward each other.Listening to Frankie as well are Will and Emma Fitch, the town's doctor and his new wife, both trying to escape a fragile childhood and forge a brighter future. When Will follow's Frankie's siren call into the war, Emma's worst fears are realized. Promising to return in six months, Will goes to London to offer his help, and the lives of the three women entwine.Alternating between an America still cocooned in its inability to grasp the danger at hand and a Europe being torn apart by war, The Postmistress gives us two women who find themselves unable to deliver the news, and a third woman desperately waiting for news yet afraid to hear it.Sarah Blake's The Postmistress shows how we bear the fact that war goes on around us while ordinary lives continue. Filled with stunning parallels to today, it is a remarkable novel.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2cg027cjj26vswvtrnhqny.jpg?v=93fc3324ac","LRNJ?@t7_Nt6?bogDjV@tkWAR6WB",326,[392],{"id":393,"slug":394,"name":395},"01kx2cg00t4qb1bcngwjjfc98g","sarah-blake-smkm","Sarah Blake",[397,398,399,400],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":219,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":20},{"id":157,"name":158,"slug":159,"is_fiction":20},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":231,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":403,"themes":404,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[233,234],[],[406,564,661],{"key":407,"params":408,"works":409},"genre_year",{"genre":31,"year":9},[410,438,469,492,521,542],{"id":411,"slug":412,"title":413,"description":414,"primary_cover_url":415,"cover_blurhash":416,"first_publish_year":417,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":336,"authors":418,"genres":423,"series":432,"enrichment":433},"01kx25dnxt8wx5k76fjyqy1t0n","you-suck-a3cz","You Suck","A foul-mouthed man named Toby is drawn into a bizarre conspiracy involving his ex-girlfriend Tess and her family after he discovers something disturbing about her.

What follows is a series of breathtaking adventures—May’s brief, passionate romance with the gallant young army captain John Bourke; her marriage to the great chief Little Wolf; and her conflict of being caught between loving two men and living two completely different lives. “Fergus portrays the perceptions and emotions of women…with tremendous insight and sensitivity.”—Booklist “A superb tale of sorrow, suspense, exultation, and triumph.” —Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26anazntqcyb1pc9bx6mr3.jpg?v=4c409fbd63","LbKUJ.9bEMobYRxWjYWC0Nt6xZof",1999,[631],{"id":632,"slug":633,"name":634},"01krczf3zpxqjsthc9wppvjxqr","jim-fergus-bype","Jim Fergus",[636],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":95,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":639,"themes":640,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[587,100],[],{"id":642,"slug":643,"title":644,"description":645,"primary_cover_url":646,"cover_blurhash":647,"first_publish_year":648,"community_rating_avg":179,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":649,"authors":650,"genres":655,"series":657,"enrichment":658},"01kx26g5gwrrwv2a0vxczajgkr","child-of-the-northern-spring-nixd","Child of the Northern Spring","This tale of Arthurian legend as seen through the eyes of Guinevere, portrays the wife of the future king as a spirited, passionate woman, schooled in the art of diplomacy and raised to be queen","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26g5hb5gp3d5w3t7qa21e4.jpg?v=2dec8e88cf","LTB:pVxsENof~9s:E3jZ=XjFM}jZ",1987,428,[651],{"id":652,"slug":653,"name":654},"01kx26g5h6v63wgyvrjsqv4nc0","woolley-persia-osms","Woolley, Persia",[656],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":95,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":659,"themes":660,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[100,587],[],{"key":662,"params":663,"works":664},"genre",{"genre":35},[665,714,725,746,766,791],{"id":666,"slug":667,"title":668,"description":669,"primary_cover_url":670,"cover_blurhash":671,"first_publish_year":117,"community_rating_avg":672,"community_rating_count":673,"page_count":674,"authors":675,"genres":688,"series":710,"enrichment":711},"01kmsznh4zzthx1kvm5awx2rrs","the-seven-deaths-of-evelyn-hardcastle-bfsw","The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle","Evelyn Hardcastle will die tonight — and again tomorrow, and the day after that, until someone stops it.

He is not the only guest trying to solve it, and not everyone at Blackheath wants the mystery to be solved at all.\n\nStuart Turton's genre-bending debut fuses a golden-age country-house murder mystery with the puzzle-box structure of a time loop, rewarding readers who track clues across shifting, unreliable vantage points toward a solution that recontextualizes everything that came before.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kmsznh4zzthx1kvm5awx2rrs_69cd2cd70dcb1.jpg","LFN]toD$00oe~Dxtm+jF.mt6?Gs.","4.11",5,528,[676,680,684],{"id":677,"slug":678,"name":679},"01kmsznh6tsjtm6gy90jn500st","stuart-turton-pm5c","Stuart Turton",{"id":681,"slug":682,"name":683},"01kmsznh6xehepn8bpp6tzy2rj","james-cameron-stewart-sl5v","James Cameron Stewart",{"id":685,"slug":686,"name":687},"01kmsznh71zn5jsdfjkkg7hyw4","fabrice-pointeau-idps","Fabrice Pointeau",[689,690,693,694,698,702,706],{"id":512,"name":513,"slug":514,"is_fiction":20},{"id":673,"name":691,"slug":692,"is_fiction":20},"Thriller","thriller",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":695,"name":696,"slug":697,"is_fiction":20},30,"Time Travel","time-travel",{"id":699,"name":700,"slug":701,"is_fiction":20},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":703,"name":704,"slug":705,"is_fiction":20},47,"Gothic","gothic",{"id":707,"name":708,"slug":709,"is_fiction":20},3,"Science Fiction","science-fiction",[],{"pace":7,"complexity":7,"audience":7,"mood":712,"themes":713,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[],[],{"id":361,"slug":362,"title":363,"description":364,"primary_cover_url":365,"cover_blurhash":366,"first_publish_year":367,"community_rating_avg":179,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":368,"authors":715,"genres":717,"series":721,"enrichment":722},[716],{"id":371,"slug":372,"name":373},[718,719,720],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":219,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":20},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":95,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":723,"themes":724,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[167,135],[382,236],{"id":726,"slug":727,"title":728,"description":729,"primary_cover_url":730,"cover_blurhash":731,"first_publish_year":499,"community_rating_avg":732,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":733,"authors":734,"genres":739,"series":742,"enrichment":743},"01kx2ea2jxra1hzmtpkhq2dq4v","the-boy-who-loved-anne-frank-j03w","The Boy Who Loved Anne Frank","\"An appealing and inventive novel…original and cathartic.\" —Dana Kennedy, New York Times On February 16, 1944, Anne Frank recorded in her diary that Peter, whom she at first disliked and eventually came to love, had confided to her that if he got out alive, he would reinvent himself entirely. This novel is the story of what might have happened if the boy in hiding had survived to become a man. Peter arrives in America, the land of self-creation, and passes as a Christian. Successful in business and rich in love in the boom years of the 1950s, he thrives in the present, plans for the future, and has no past. But there is a cost to his charade. When The Diary of a Young Girl is published to worldwide acclaim, it triggers paralyzing memories of his experiences in the secret annex in Amsterdam. The diary is his story too, and once the floodgate of memory opens, his life spirals out of control. Based on extensive research of Peter van Pels and the strange and disturbing life Anne Frank's diary took on after her death, this is a novel about the memory of death, the death of memory, and the inescapability of the past.

Sparked by individual acts of resistance among those enslaved across the American South, their seemingly disparate rebellions fuel a singular inferno of justice, connecting them in ways quiet at times, explosive at others. As these flames rise, so will they. Luke, quick-witted and literate, and Henri, a man with a strong and defiant spirit, forge an unbreakable bond at a Virginia plantation called Magnolia Row. Both seek escape from unimaginable cruelty. And sure as the fires of hell, Luke and Henri will leave their mark, sparking resistance among the lives they touch… One is Josephine, a young, sharp, and observant girl who wields silence as her greatest weapon. A witness to Luke and Henri’s resilience, she listens, watches, waits for the moment to make her move. Then there is Charity Butler, her husband a formerly enslaved man who proved his ferocity as a young boy standing alongside Josephine. At his encouragement, Charity fights for her freedom in court and wins – only to battle a deeply unjust system designed to destroy the life they’ve built. And finally, there is Nathaniel, who ruthlessly exploits other Black people and mirrors the cruelty of the white men who, like him, are enslavers. A perversion of the system of slavery, his fragile and contradictory rule will become a catalyst of its own. Inspired by the true stories of the profoundly courageous men and women who dared to fight back, Burn Down Master’s House is a singular tour de force of a novel—breathtaking in scope, compassion, and a timeliness that speaks powerfully to our present era.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2ey0d6j2kyf80ckcwtjgyg.jpg?v=25ece815c9","LTG[4SkB$zs.^$f6kCj?~9jZoefk",2026,288,[776],{"id":777,"slug":778,"name":779},"01kx2ey0d05xptx7thzgdjrgpp","clay-cane-pfe1","Clay Cane",[781,782,785],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":97,"name":783,"slug":784,"is_fiction":20},"Horror","horror",{"id":86,"name":188,"slug":189,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":95,"complexity":7,"audience":98,"mood":788,"themes":790,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[200,167,789],"atmospheric",[],{"id":792,"slug":793,"title":794,"description":795,"primary_cover_url":796,"cover_blurhash":797,"first_publish_year":629,"community_rating_avg":798,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":799,"authors":800,"genres":805,"series":814,"enrichment":815},"01kx2kb6qzzpn4tvbc533pac8m","confessions-of-an-ugly-stepsister-e5aq","Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister","E-book extras: \"Cinderilla or, The Little Glass Slipper\" (read the original version of the classic fairy tale); reading group guide.From Gregory Maguire, the acclaimed author of Wicked, comes his much-anticipated second novel, a brilliant and provocative retelling of the timeless Cinderella tale.In the lives of children, pumpkins can turn into coaches, mice and rats into human beings....
