Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the internationally bestselling author of The Atomic City Girls, a provocative novel set in eastern Tennessee that "explores the legacies of passion and violence, music and faith that haunt one family across the generations" (Jillian Medoff, author of This Could Hurt). Ten-year-old Grace is in search of a subject for her fifth-grade history project when she learns that her four times-great grandfather once stabbed his lover to death. His grisly act was memorialized in a murder ballad, her aunt tells her, so it must be true. But the lessons of that revelation to be careful of men and desire are not just Grace s to learn. Her family s tangled past is part of a dark legacy in which the lives of generations of women are affected by the violence immortalized in folk songs like "Knoxville Girl" and "Pretty Polly" reminding them always to know their place or risk the wages of sin. Janet Beard s stirring novel, informed by her love of these haunting ballads, vividly imagines these women, defined by the secrets they keep, the surprises they uncover, and the lurking sense of menace that follows them throughout their lives even as they try to make a safe place in the world for themselves. "This inspired story of Appalachian folklore" (Publishers Weekly) will move and rouse you.

Oprah Daily \* "Takes off with magnificent speed and never lets up." The New York Times \* "Revolutionary." NPR s Morning Edition \* A Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year A provocative and "darkly funny" (Cosmopolitan) novel about a woman who desperately wants a child but struggles to accept the use of assisted reproductive technology a "riotous, visceral" (Vanity Fair) send-up of feminism, fame, art, commerce, and autonomy.On the eve of her fourth album, singer-songwriter Aviva Rosner is plagued by infertility. The twist: as much as Aviva wants a child, she is wary of technological conception, and has poured her ambivalence into her music. As the album makes its way in the world, the shock of the response from fans and critics is at first exciting and then invasive and strange. Aviva never wanted to be famous, or did she Meanwhile, her evolving obsession with another iconic musician, gone too soon, might just help her make sense of things. Told over the course of nine menstrual cycles, this utterly original novel is a "fast, fiery, and often funny" (The Boston Globe) interrogation of our cultural obsession with childbearing. It s also the story of one fearless woman at the crossroads, ruthlessly questioning what she wants and what she s willing or not willing to do to get it.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'When Sarah Taylor arrives at the exclusive St. Ambrose School, she's carrying more baggage than just what fits in her suitcase. She knows she's not like the other girls-if the shabby, all-black, non-designer clothes don't give that away, the bottle of lithium hidden in her desk drawer sure does. St. Ambrose's queen bee, Greta Stanhope, picks Sarah as a target from day one-the most popular, powerful, horrible girl at school is relentless in making sure Sarah knows what the pecking order is. Thankfully, Sarah makes an ally out of her roommate Ellen 'Strots' Strotsberry, a cigarette-huffing, devil-may-care athlete who takes no bullshit. Also down the hall is Nick Hollis, the devastatingly handsome RA, and the object of more than one St. Ambrose student's fantasies. Between Strots and Nick, Sarah hopes she can make it through the semester, dealing with not only her schoolwork and a recent bipolar diagnosis, but Greta's increasingly malicious pranks. Sarah is determined not to give Greta the satisfaction of breaking her. But when scandal unfolds, and someone ends up dead, her world threatens to unravel in ways she could never have imagined. THE ST. AMBROSE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS is a dangerous, delicious, twisty coming-of-age tale that will stay with you long after you turn the last page'.
