But as the Lord Chamberlain's mistress, she has access to all theater in England, and finds a way to bring her work to the stage secretly. And yet, creating some of the world's greatest dramatic masterpieces comes at great cost: by paying a man for the use of his name, she will write her own out of history. In the present, playwright Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the life of her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. Although the challenges are different four hundred years later, the playing field is still not level for women in theater. Would Melina, like Emilia, be willing to forfeit her credit as author, just for a chance to see her work performed? Told in intertwining narratives, this sweeping tale of ambition, courage, and desire asks what price each woman is willing to pay to see their work live on, even if it means they will be forgotten.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1771081</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1771081</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Picoult, Jodi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1771081002</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593948057/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Standing in the Shadows]]></title><description><![CDATA[Detective Superintendent Alan Banks and his team are called in to investigate when an archaeologist unearths a skeleton that turns out to be far more contemporary than the Roman remains she is seeking.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1677896</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1677896</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robinson, Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1677896002</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063295186/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Great Siege]]></title><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C926528</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C926528</guid><category><![CDATA[MP3_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bradford, Ernle Dusgate Selby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/926528002</comments><format>MP3_CD</format><subtitle>Malta 1565</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781470830298/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Last Battle]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Battle for Berlin was the culminating struggle of World War II in the European theater.

All are enrolled in a postgraduate program covering the history of witchcraft, folklore, and spiritualism.All evidence points to Sharyn Karr--an American student. Prior to the professor's death, he had thrust a centuries-old book upon her. It appears to be the handwritten and encrypted diary of an eighteenth-century mystic and occultist, the Comte de Saint-Germain. The professor begged her to keep the text safe, ending with a warning: Trust no one. Such a responsibility forces her into cooperation with Duncan Maxwell, a fellow postgrad and the sixteenth in line to the British Crown. Already, Duncan has proven himself a savant with encryptions. Unfortunately, the pair clash at every level, but they both need one another. Especially when they discover the book's opening words: Herein lies the secret to my immortality. Come find me, if you dare.As dark forces close upon the pair, she and her friends are forced to flee, pursued by law enforcement and hunted by a powerful cabal. In an explosive chase across Europe--from the Tower of London to Parisian chateaus to a fortress in the Italian Alps--Sharyn must learn the true secret hidden in Saint-Germain's text. It will send her and the others across history and deep into the heart of one of the world's greatest mysteries, a secret buried at the roots of Western Civilization, a discovery that could topple empires and change humanity forever.For what lies at the end of Saint-Germain's diary is as shocking as its opening words. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1875824</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1875824</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rollins, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1875824002</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Thriller</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063413252/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Olivetti]]></title><description><![CDATA[Being a typewriter is not as easy as it looks. Surrounded by books (notorious attention hogs) and recently replaced by a computer, Olivetti has been forgotten by the Brindles--the family he's lived with for years. The Brindles are busy humans, apart from twelve-year-old Ernest, who would rather be left alone with his collection of Oxford English Dictionaries. Once a collector of words, now Olivetti only collects dust. He gets a rare glimpse of action from Ernest's mom, Beatrice--his used-to-be frequent visitor--only for her to drop him off at Heartland Pawn Shop and leave him behind. When Olivetti learns Beatrice has mysteriously gone missing afterward, he believes he can help find her. He breaks the only rule of the typewriterly code and types back to Ernest, divulging Beatrice's memories stored inside him. Their search takes them across San Francisco--chasing clues, dodging a dumpster diving girl, maybe committing a few misdemeanors. As Olivetti spills out the past, Ernest is forced to face what he and his family have been running from, the Everything That Happened. Only by working together will they find Beatrice, belonging, and the parts of themselves they've lost.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1734474</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1734474</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Millington, Allie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1734474002</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798891782297/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Girl in the Eagle's Talons]]></title><description><![CDATA[Change is coming to Sweden's far north: its untapped natural resources are sparking a gold rush with the criminal underworld leading the charge.

Sometime religious outsider and social disaster, sometime celebrity preacher and establishment darling, John Donne was incapable of being just one thing. In his myriad lives he was a scholar of law, a sea adventurer, a priest, an MP--and perhaps the greatest love poet in the history of the English language. Along the way he converted from Catholicism to Protestantism, was imprisoned for marrying a sixteen-year old girl without her father's consent, struggled to feed a family of ten children, and was often ill and in pain. He was a man who suffered from black surges of misery, yet expressed in his verse many breathtaking impressions of electric joy and love.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1786545</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1786545</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rundell, Katherine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1786545002</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>The Transformations of John Donne</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798212030816/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the Seas of the World]]></title><description><![CDATA[Returning triumphantly to the brilliantly evoked near-Renaissance world of A Brightness Long Ago and Children of Earth and Sky, international bestselling author Guy Gavriel Kay deploys his signature 'quarter turn to the fantastic' to tell a story of vengeance, power, and love. On a dark night along a lonely stretch of coast a small ship sends two people ashore. Their purpose is assassination. They have been hired by two of the most dangerous men alive to alter the balance of power in the world. If they succeed, the consequences will affect the destinies of empires, and lives both great and small. One of those arriving at that beach is a woman abducted by corsairs as a child and sold into years of servitude. Having escaped, she is trying to chart her own course--and is bent upon revenge. Another is a seafaring merchant who still remembers being exiled as a child with his family from their home, for their faith, a moment that never leaves him. In what follows, through a story both intimate and epic, unforgettable characters are immersed in the fierce and deadly struggles that define their time. All the Seas of the World is a page-turning drama that also offers moving reflections on memory, fate, and the random events that can shape our lives--in the past, and today.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1557657</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1557657</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kay, Guy Gavriel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1557657002</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593557150/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Game of Fear]]></title><description><![CDATA[Spring, 1921.

Instead of discovering Connor's murderer, however, the grainy and blurred footage reveals another crime: a brutal rape. If they can discover the woman's identity, it could lead to more than justice for the victim; it could change everything the police think they know about Connor and why anyone would want him dead.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1440669</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1440669</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robinson, Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1440669002</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle>A DCI Banks Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063065901/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ash House]]></title><description><![CDATA[An unsettling, gripping middle grade debut about searching for a sense of belonging in the wrong places, and the bravery it takes to defy those who seek to control us. When eleven-year-old Sol arrives at the Ash House, desperate for a cure for his complex pain syndrome, he finds a community of strange children long abandoned by their mysterious Headmaster. The children at the Ash House want the new boy to love their home as much as they do. They give him a name like theirs. They show him the dorms and tell him about the wonderful oasis that the Headmaster has created for them. But the new boy already has a name. Doesn't he? At least he did before he walked through those gates ... This was supposed to be a healing refuge for children like him. Something between a school and a summer camp. With kids like him. With pain like his. But no one is allowed to get sick at the Ash House. NO ONE. And then The Doctor arrives ... Strange things are about to happen at the mysterious Ash House. And the longer Sol spends on the mysterious grounds, the more he begins to forget who he is, the more the other children begin to distrust him, and the worse his pain becomes. But can he hold onto reality long enough to find an escape? And better yet, can he convince the others?]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1533408</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1533408</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Walker, Angharad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1533408002</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781338701951/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Jealousy Man and Other Stories]]></title><description><![CDATA["A dark, thrilling collection of stories probing twisted minds and vengeful hearts from a true master of suspense.

The man appears to have fallen from the canal aqueduct spanning the valley. But there is no identification on the body, he isn't a local, and no one will admit to having seen him before. With little to go on, the village police turn to Scotland Yard for help. When Inspector Ian Rutledge is sent from London to find answers, he is given few clues--a faded military tattoo on the victim's arm and an unusual label in the collar of his shirt. They eventually lead him to the victim's identity: Sam Milford. By all accounts, he was a good man and well-respected. Then, why is his death so mysterious? Looking for the truth, Rutledge uncovers a web of lies swirling around a suicidal woman, a child's tragic fate, another woman bent on protecting her past. But where among all the lies is the motive for murder? To track a killer, Rutledge must retrace Milford's last journey. Yet death seems to stalk his every move, and the truth seems to shift at every turn. Man or woman, this murderer stays in the shadows, and it will take desperate measures to lure him--or her--into the light.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1430278</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1430278</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Todd, Charles]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1430278002</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063069176/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Fatal Lie]]></title><description><![CDATA[A peaceful Welsh village is thrown into turmoil when a terrified boy stumbles on a body in a nearby river.

London, 1941: In a cramped bunker in Winston Churchill's Cabinet War Rooms, underneath Westminster's Treasury building, civilian women huddle at desks, typing up confidential documents and reports. Since her parents were killed in a bombing raid, Rose Teasdale has spent more hours than usual in Room 60, working double shifts, growing accustomed to the burnt scent of the Prime Minister's cigars permeating the stale air. Winning the war is the only thing that matters, and she will gladly do her part. And when Rose's fluency in French comes to the attention of Churchill himself, it brings a rare yet dangerous opportunity. Rose is recruited for the Special Operations Executive, a secret British organization that conducts espionage in Nazi-occupied Europe. After weeks of grueling training, Rose parachutes into France with a new codename: Dragonfly. Posing as a cosmetics saleswoman in Paris, she ferries messages to and from the Resistance, knowing that the slightest misstep means capture or death.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1473550</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1473550</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hlad, Alan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1473550002</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781666147001/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
