Struggling with grief, trauma, and the loss of her place in a world that refuses to see her, she must learn to rebuild her life, find her voice, and honor the women who stood beside her. Both harrowing and inspiring, this story illuminates the courage of women whose sacrifices were long overlooked, asking what it truly means to serve, to survive, and to heal.

  LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 BOOKER PRIZE 
   
   
   
  An exhilarating debut from a radiant new voice, After Sappho reimagines the intertwined lives of feminists at the turn of the twentieth century. 
   
   
   
  "The first thing we did was change our names. We were going to be Sappho," so begins this intrepid debut novel, centuries after the Greek poet penned her lyric verse. Ignited by the same muse, a myriad of women break from their small, predetermined lives for seemingly disparate paths: in 1892, Rina Faccio trades her needlepoint for a pen; in 1902, Romaine Brooks sails for Capri with nothing but her clotted paintbrushes; and in 1923, Virginia Woolf writes: "I want to make life fuller and fuller." Writing in cascading vignettes, Selby Wynn Schwartz spins an invigorating tale of women whose narratives converge and splinter as they forge queer identities and claim the right to their own lives. A luminous meditation on creativity, education, and identity, After Sappho announces a writer as ingenious as the trailblazers of our past.

  Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil: A Holocaust Chronicle 
  Amidst the darkest chapter of human history, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil: A Holocaust Chronicle by Michael Green delivers a harrowing yet necessary exploration of how bureaucracy, ideology, and moral erosion transformed ordinary individuals into architects of genocide. 
  Drawing upon extensive historical records, survivor testimonies, and perpetrator confessions, this meticulously researched narrative brings to life the events leading to and following the infamous Wannsee Conference of January 1942. In the opulence of a lakeside villa, fifteen high-ranking Nazi officials calmly planned the systematic extermination of Europe's Jewish population—an event that marked the acceleration of the Final Solution. Through the eyes of both historical figures and composite characters, the book illuminates the chilling banality of evil, where mass murder became an administrative routine carried out with precision and detachment. 
  From the cold efficiency of the Einsatzgruppen massacres in the Eastern Front to the horrific mechanization of death in Treblinka, Sobibor, and Auschwitz, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil follows the bureaucrats, soldiers, and collaborators who orchestrated genocide. The novelization of these events does not seek to sensationalize, but rather to deepen our understanding of how seemingly normal people could commit unimaginable crimes. 
  Unflinching, deeply researched, and ethically grounded, this book is an essential read for historians, educators, and anyone seeking to understand the mechanisms of human evil. With unwavering historical accuracy and a narrative that grips the reader from the first page, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil stands as both a tribute to the victims and a warning to future generations.

So when a company of soldiers led by brave Captain Jamie Maclean rescues the marching women, Maggie’s relief knows no bounds. But it soon turns to astonishment when Jamie vows to help Maggie reunite Leah with her father—he has fallen in love with Maggie and will do everything in his power to assist her. Maggie can’t yet trust her own budding feelings. But she accepts Jamie’s help and slowly starts to dream of a life together—until Maggie gets the news every survivor dreads.

Looking at baby Leah’s trusting eyes, Maggie’s heart is torn. But she has to find Mengele and bring him to justice. Can she succeed on the most terrifying mission of her life when so many others have failed? And if she does, will she find her way back home to the ones she loves, or will the heartbreak of everything she has suffered destroy any chance of happiness forever?
