Jazz in Her Veins - A Harlem Renaissance Love Story

Savannah LeRoux

Sinopse

In the heart of 1920s Harlem, where smoke curls from jazz lounges and revolution stirs beneath velvet shadows, Lena Dupree sings not for applause—but to survive. A gifted voice caged by the expectations of others, she performs for a world that wants her polished and quiet. But Lena is done playing safe. She aches to be heard, raw and unfiltered, even if it costs her everything.
 
Enter Malcolm Kingsley—a sharp-witted political organizer with fire in his veins and enemies at his heels. Drawn to Lena’s voice and the power simmering beneath her silence, he pulls her into his world of hidden meetings and dangerous truths. Together, their chemistry becomes its own kind of music—aching, defiant, and impossible to ignore.
 
But as protests erupt and the system closes in, choices must be made. Lena's voice could spark change—or destroy the fragile safety she’s fought to maintain. And Malcolm’s passion for justice may put him on a path where love is a luxury he can’t afford.
 
Can two souls, born from struggle and rhythm, find harmony in each other? Or will the noise of the world drown them out before they have the chance to truly sing?
 
When the city demands silence, will they risk everything to be heard?

Mutiny - A Novel of the Bounty

John Boyne

“Enthralling . . . Boyne’s novel can stand comparison with William Golding’s Rites of Passage . . . Mutiny is storytelling at its most accomplished.” —The Independent (UK)

Internationally bestselling author John Boyne has been praised as “one of the best and original of the new generation of Irish writers” by the Irish Examiner. With Mutiny, he’s created an eye-opening story of life—and death—at sea.

Fourteen-year-old pickpocket John Jacob Turnstile has just been caught red-handed and is on his way to prison when an offer is put to him—a ship has been refitted over the last few months and is about to set sail with an important mission. The boy who was expected to serve as the captain’s personal valet has been injured and a replacement must be found immediately.

Given the choice of prison or a life at sea, John soon finds himself on board, meeting the captain, just as the ship sets sail. The ship is the Bounty, the captain is William Bligh, and their destination is Tahiti. Their journey, however, will become one of the most infamous in naval history.

Mutiny is the first novel to explore all the events relating to the Bounty’s voyage, from the long passage across the ocean to their adventures on the island of Tahiti and the subsequent forty-eight-day expedition toward Timor. This vivid retelling of the notorious mutiny is packed with humor, violence, and historical detail, while presenting an intriguingly different portrait of Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian than has ever been presented before.

“The writing grows into a mesmerizing tour-de-force . . . this is a remarkable and compelling piece of storytelling.” —The Irish Times
