  Camille Pissarro - The Audacity...

  From the acclaimed biographer and author of Balzac's Omelette, an engaging new work on the life of "the father of Impressionism" and the role his Jewish background played in his artistic creativity. 
   
   
   
  The celebrated painter Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) occupied a central place in the artistic scene of his time: a founding member of the new school of French painting, he was a close friend of Monet, a longtime associate in Degas's and Mary Cassatt's experimental work, a support to Cézanne and Gauguin, and a comfort to Van Gogh, and was backed by the great Parisian art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel throughout his career. Nevertheless, he felt a persistent sense of being set apart, different, and hard to classify. Settled in France from the age of twenty-five but born in the Caribbean, he was not French and what is more he was Jewish. Although a resolute atheist who never interjected political or religious messages in his art, he was fully aware of the consequences of his lineage. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on Pissarro's considerable body of work and a vast collection of letters that show his unrestrained thoughts, Anka Muhlstein offers a nuanced, intimate portrait of the artist whose independent spirit fostered an environment of freedom and autonomy.

  In the shadows of South Carolina's lowcountry, one woman witnessed the unraveling of America's most notorious legal dynasty. 
  Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson never imagined that her position within the Murdaugh household would place her at the epicenter of a scandal that would captivate the nation. For years, she observed the carefully constructed facade of power, privilege, and Southern gentility that concealed a darker truth—a web of corruption, deceit, and ultimately, murder. 
  Now, for the first time, Blanca breaks her silence. 
  This is not just another retelling of the Murdaugh saga. This is the untold story from someone who was there—who saw what happened behind closed doors, who heard the conversations that were never meant to be repeated, who witnessed the slow collapse of a family empire built on lies and maintained through fear. 
  From the shocking double murders that made international headlines to the decades of financial fraud that defrauded vulnerable victims, from the suspicious deaths that were too quickly ruled accidents to the courtroom drama that riveted millions, Blanca provides unprecedented access to the intimate details that only an insider could know. 
  With unflinching honesty and remarkable courage, she reveals how a family that once seemed untouchable fell from grace, how justice was delayed but not denied, and how the truth—no matter how deeply buried—eventually finds its way to the surface. 
  This is a story of loyalty and betrayal, of power and its ultimate price, of one woman's decision to finally tell the truth, no matter the cost. In the house of Murdaugh, every room held a secret. Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson is ready to unlock them all.

  A memoir from singer-songwriter Madison Beer, chronicling the past decade of her life spent in the spotlight—the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens that you won’t see on social media. 
  Discovered at twelve years old, Madison Beer was one of the first artists to have her entire life documented online. Over the past decade, she has navigated the spotlight as a child, through her teenage years, and now as a young woman in her twenties. 
  In The Half of It, Madison pulls back the curtain to show the behind-the-scenes of her journey, from reckoning with mass hate online and the time her private pictures were leaked, to battling suicidal thoughts while making her highly acclaimed debut album, Life Support, and her recovery since then. This memoir is an honest and unflinching account of self-love, mental health, and advocacy from one of the fastest-rising musical voices and most influential social media presences of her generation. It hammers home the point, more striking and urgent than ever, that no matter how close the internet may make us feel to people, we truly don’t know the half of it.
