As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes.

Beth's shyness conceals a brilliant facility with puzzles, and she becomes one of the Park's few female cryptanalysts. 1947. As the royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip whips post-war Britain into a fever, the three women are reunited by a mysterious encrypted letter-- the key to which lies buried in the long-ago betrayal that destroyed their friendship and left one of them confined to an asylum. -- adapted from back cover]]></description><link>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2077915</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2077915</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Quinn, Kate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2077915121</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063062450/MC.GIF&amp;client=snoislepo&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good Night, Irene]]></title><description><![CDATA["In 1943, Irene Woodward abandons an abusive fiancé in New York to enlist with the Red Cross and head to Europe.

'I'm just not feeling like myself!' This is the battle cry of the perimenopausal woman. Though menstrual cycle changes and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies them are the hallmarks of the transition to menopause, many women with regular periods as young as 35 can also start to feel irregular, with symptoms that include anxiety, fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, sexual symptoms, and volatile moods. This array of symptoms can be hugely disruptive--all the more so when a doctor dismisses a woman's complaints as all in her head or prescribes unnecessary and potentially harmful treatment. In The New Perimenopause, Dr. Mary Claire Haver--the trailblazing voice behind the movement to revolutionize health care for women--sets things straight. She explains that the numerous and varied symptoms of perimenopause occur in direct response to normal endocrine changes; this is the hormonal 'zone of chaos.' A comprehensive, authoritative book of science-backed information and lived experience, The New Perimenopause includes: Clear, science-backed explanations of what's going on in your body, from changes in your menstrual cycle to energy levels, mood, sleep, and sexual issues. How and why dealing with these changes now is preventative medicine for your later years. Checklists, questions for your doctor, and how to insist on good care. The very latest research on the benefits and side effects of progesterone therapy to help ease your hormonal transition. Whether you have symptoms or not, The New Perimenopause helps remove the mystery around this time of change, putting women in control of their health going forward"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2198124</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2198124</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Haver, Mary Claire]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2198124121</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Evidence-based Guide to Surviving the Zone of Chaos and Feeling Like Yourself Again</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593736616/MC.GIF&amp;client=snoislepo&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fallow]]></title><description><![CDATA["Natalie knows one truth: there is no such thing as a good job. As the clock ticks away at the call center where she logs complaints of workplace harassment, she tries to ignore the increasing pain in her jaw. She has no dental insurance. She has no skills or ambitions. She has student loans. And, minute by minute, she hears the many ways workers are not just not getting by, but actually getting hustled. Then, at the blood bank where she sells her plasma, a mysterious flyer leads her to The Company. Natalie turns out to be the perfect candidate for their pilot program, pitched as an opportunity to help women access greater gender equity. She will be their in-house surrogate, delivering seven babies in ten years and enabling their executives to have motherhood without maternity leave. Finally, she will be adequately--generously--compensated. For years, her every need is met: stacks of healthy meals in the refrigerator of a luxury condo, fitness coaches and nutritionists, around-the-clock health care. Between deliveries, she takes time off--a fallow period, with no obligations or expectations. For the first time in her life, she is good at her job; for the first time, she feels free. But just as she's about to fulfill the terms of her contract, a staffing decision upends everything. Natalie is pulled into an entirely different kind of social experiment, one that raises new questions about her future, her freedom, her purpose, what she can expect from the world, and what she can offer to it"-- Jacket flap.]]></description><link>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2216327</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2216327</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anderson, Sarah W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2216327121</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374621148/MC.GIF&amp;client=snoislepo&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Founding Mother]]></title><description><![CDATA["In the heart of revolutionary Boston, Abigail Adams raises her children amid riots, blockades, and the outbreak of war.

With its tumbling ivy and overgrown garden, the cottage is worlds away from the abusive partner who tormented Kate. But she begins to suspect that her great aunt had a secret. One that lurks in the bones of the cottage, hidden ever since the witch-hunts of the 17th century. 1619: Altha is awaiting trial for the murder of a local farmer who was stampeded to death by his herd. As a girl, Altha's mother taught her their magic, a kind not rooted in spell casting but in a deep knowledge of the natural world. But unusual women have always been deemed dangerous, and as the evidence for witchcraft is set out against Altha, she knows it will take all of her powers to maintain her freedom. 1942: As World War II rages, Violet is trapped in her family's grand, crumbling estate. Straitjacketed by societal convention, she longs for the robust education her brother receives--and for her mother, long deceased, who was rumored to have gone mad before her death. The only traces Violet has of her are a locket bearing the initial W and the word weyward scratched into the baseboard of her bedroom. Weaving together the stories of three extraordinary women across five centuries, Emilia Hart's Weyward is an enthralling novel of female resilience and the transformative power of the natural world"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2068786</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2068786</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hart, Emilia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2068786121</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250280800/MC.GIF&amp;client=snoislepo&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women Who Run With the Wolves]]></title><description><![CDATA[The author's premise is that within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.

It also happens to be the day that the first bombs of the 2022 Russian attack land on his homeland. As life for every person in the country is turned upside down in a moment, Vlad is immediately called up to serve in the military. But as much as he wants to defend his country, he is desperate to get his girlfriend, Tatyanna, an orphan whose only home has been the ballet school, out of the country. With their home under siege, Tatyanna tries to make her way to safety in Poland. Also joining the refugees is Yulya, who is torn between getting her young children across the border and staying at the side of her husband, Symon, and her elderly parents, Petro and Oxana, who refuse to abandon their home. As millions flee, Vlad and Symon join a volunteer civilians' unit to fight. Even elderly citizens like Petro and Oxana are given AK-47s, though soon starvation becomes as much of a threat as the encroaching troops. Sasha, an obstetrician, and Anton, a surgeon, who are secretly lovers, stay behind to treat the never-ending waves of wounded. When the Russians bomb hospitals, the heroic couple finds themselves delivering babies in bomb shelters. Through the stories of Vlad, Tatyanna, Yulya, Symon, Sasha, and Anton--each struggling to protect their loved ones and preserve their own humanity--Danielle Steel tells a gripping and deeply moving story of regular people surviving as a war rages around them." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2212825</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S121C2212825</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steel, Danielle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sno-isle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2212825121</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217347605/MC.GIF&amp;client=snoislepo&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Barbie]]></title><description><![CDATA[To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place.
