"In Silvia Moreno-Garcia's sure hands, every uncovered secret is fraught with intrigue and creeping horror."-Tananarive Due, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Reformatory A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, KIRKUS REVIEWS, BOOK RIOT, LIBRARY JOURNAL, CRIME READS, SHE READS "Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches": That was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva-stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales. In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: Decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch. Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.]]></description><link>https://lawrence.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S119C585227</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lawrence.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S119C585227</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moreno-Garcia, Silvia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lawrence.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/585227119</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217076178/MC.GIF&amp;client=lawrencep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young Woman and the Sea]]></title><description><![CDATA[The exhilarating true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel, and inspire a "wave of confidence and emancipation" for women in sports (Parade).   By age twenty, at the height of the Jazz Age, Trudy Ederle was the most accomplished swimmer in the world. She'd won Olympic gold and set a host of world records. But the greatest challenge remained: the English Channel. Only a few swimmers, none of them women, had ever made the treacherous twenty-one mile crossing. Trudy's failed first attempt seemed to confirm what many naysayers believed: No woman could possibly accomplish such a thing.  In 1926, Ederle proved them wrong. As her German immigrant parents cheered her, and her sister and fellow swimmer Meg helped fashion both her scandalous two-piece swimsuit and leak-proof goggles, Trudy was determined to succeed. "England or drown is my motto, " she said, plunging into the frigid Channel for her second attempt at the crossing. Fourteen hours later, two hours faster than any man, and after weathering a gale and waves that approached six-feet, she stepped onto Kingsdowne Beach as the most famous woman in the world.  Based on years of archival research that unearthed Ederle's memory from obscurity, Young Woman and the Sea brings to life the real Trudy Ederle, the challenges that came with her fame, and the historic mark her achievement made for all women athletes who followed.

As a child, she watched her mother, abandoned by her husband, provide for her three small children without &ldquo; resources or voice.&rdquo; Isabel became a fierce and defiant little girl, determined to fight for the life her mother couldn&rsquo; t have. As a young woman coming of age in the late 1960s, she rode the second wave of feminism. Among a tribe of like-minded female journalists, Allende for the first time felt comfortable in her own skin, as they wrote &ldquo; with a knife between our teeth&rdquo; about women&rsquo; s issues. She has seen what the movement has accomplished in the course of her lifetime. And over the course of three passionate marriages, she has learned how to grow as a woman while having a partner, when to step away, and the rewards of embracing one&rsquo; s sexuality. So what feeds the soul of feminists&mdash; and all women&mdash; today? To be safe, to be valued, to live in peace, to have their own resources, to be connected, to have control over our bodies and lives, and above all, to be loved. On all these fronts, there is much work yet to be done, and this book, Allende hopes, will &ldquo; light the torches of our daughters and granddaughters with mine. They will have to live for us, as we lived for our mothers, and carry on with the work still left to be finished.&rdquo;]]></description><link>https://lawrence.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S119C425405</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lawrence.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S119C425405</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Allende, Isabel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lawrence.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/425405119</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593400463/MC.GIF&amp;client=lawrencep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Velvet Was the Night]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mexico in the 1970s is a dangerous country, even for Maite, a secretary who spends her life seeking the romance found in cheap comic books and ignoring the activists protesting around the city. When her next-door neighbor, the beautiful art student Leonora, disappears under suspicious circumstances, Maite finds herself searching for the missing woman— and journeying deeper into Leonora’ s secret life of student radicals and dissidents.  Mexico in the 1970s is a politically fraught land, even for Elvis, a goon with a passion for rock ’ n’ roll who knows more about kidney-smashing than intrigue. When Elvis is assigned to find Leonora, he begins a blood-soaked search for the woman— and his soul.   Swirling in parallel trajectories, Maite and Elvis attempt to discover the truth behind Leonora’ s disappearance, encountering hitmen, government agents, and Russian spies. Because Mexico in the 1970s is a noir, where life is cheap and the price of truth is high.]]></description><link>https://lawrence.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S119C442347</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lawrence.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S119C442347</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Moreno-Garcia, Silvia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lawrence.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/442347119</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593456071/MC.GIF&amp;client=lawrencep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
