Sinopse

In Victor Hugo's "Ninety-Three," the turbulent backdrop of the French Revolution serves as the crucible for a profound exploration of human nature and the moral struggles inherent in revolutionary zeal. Set against the violent chaos of 1793, Hughes employs a vivid and romantic literary style, weaving together themes of loyalty, justice, and the tumult of political ideals. Through compelling character arcs—including the noble hero and the conflicted antagonist—Hugo captures the intensity of revolutionary fervor while simultaneously questioning the ethics of violence in the pursuit of liberty, reflecting a literary context that grapples with the consequences of unfettered ambition. Victor Hugo, a foundational figure of French Romantic literature, was deeply engaged with the social and political issues of his time, which undoubtedly influenced his creation of "Ninety-Three." His poignant experiences—growing up amid social upheaval and witnessing the plight of the oppressed—shaped his passionate advocacy for justice and human rights. Hugo's experiences in exile and his encounters with revolutionary thought inform this gripping narrative, as he wrestles with the dichotomy of noble causes and the often brutal realities they entail. This meticulously crafted novel is a profound commentary on the perils of extremism and the complexities of human loyalty. For readers interested in the intersections of history, philosophy, and literature, "Ninety-Three" is an essential read that not only captivates through its dramatic storytelling but also invites reflection on the moral complexities of revolutionary change.

    Winter 1940: With soldiers parading down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Nazi flags dangling from the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower defaced with German propaganda, Parisians have little to celebrate as Christmas approaches. Police Inspector Henri Lefort's wishes for a quiet holiday season are dashed when the Gestapo orders him to investigate the disappearance of Dr. Viktor Brandt, a neurologist involved in a secret project at one of Paris's hospitals. 
     
     
     
    Being forced onto a missing persons case for the enemy doesn't deter Henri from conducting his real job. A Frenchman has been beaten to death in what appears to be a botched burglary, and catching a killer is more important than locating a wayward scientist. But when Henri learns that the victim's brother is a doctor who worked at the same hospital as the missing German, his investigation takes a disturbing turn. 
     
     
     
    Uncovering a relationship between the two men—one that would not be tolerated by the Third Reich—Henri must tread carefully. And when he discovers that Dr. Brandt's experimental work is connected to groups of children being taken from orphanages, Henri risks bringing the wrath of both the SS and the Gestapo upon himself and everyone he loves.

    I always wanted to have a big family. That's why I created my own. My husband is my heart. My mom is my ribs. My kids . . . They are the air I breathe. Without them, I'm not whole. Everyone has dark secrets, yet mine are the kind of life-altering skeletons that could threaten the very mission I've spent my entire life fighting. My children think they know my story, but they don't. Not all of it. Not the parts that would make them question everything they know in life. My constant has been my love for Stan and that's a truth I'll always share. 
     
     
     
    STANLEY 
     
     
     
    I would move heaven and earth for my family. Yet, for Duchess, I wouldn't hesitate to give my life and soul in exchange for her to continue to grow the Crowne legacy. She may have taken my last name, but she made it worth more than I ever could have imagined. Years ago, I vowed to spend eternity fighting by her side for missions close to our hearts. Our children think they know our story, but they don't. We had a life before them. One many aren't aware of. My love for Duchess has only gotten stronger, but now it seems the past has caught up with the present.

    From New York Times bestselling novelist Joshilyn Jackson comes an e-original short story that gives a fierce and funny character from Someone Else's Love Story a standalone adventure all her own. 
    Shandi Pierce got pregnant when she was only seventeen years old. She fell for her son—deeply, instantly, completely—but as she sat at the table feeding him, her own mother was sliding eggs and bacon onto her plate, feeding her. 
    Now, four years later, Shandi is still more parented than parent. She lives with her mom, her dad pays her bills, and her best friend, Walcott, acts as her white knight. But Natty is no ordinary kid, and when his savant behavior catches the attention of an obsessive stranger, only Shandi sees the true menace. 
    To protect her son, Shandi must grow up—fast—and find an answer to the question, how can a girl remake herself into a mother?

    "A humdinger . . . whose characters bring to mind those of both Emily Brontë and L. M. Montgomery" (Kirkus), this second installment is perfect for fans of Deanna Rayborn. 
     
     
     
    1894, Boston. Penniless Boston heiress and accomplished modern woman Marigold Manners has put her past to good use, selling the story of the Great Misery Island Murders to earn enough money to resume the life she was always meant to have and return to her studies at Wellesley College. But her carefully laid plans for academic excellence are thrown into disarray when she stumbles across the body of a young woman in the campus lake. 
     
     
     
    When the peace of the bucolic campus is shattered by the murder, the cloistered world of a women's college that Marigold finds so comforting proves it is not immune to the malice and wickedness of the world. The closed community becomes a hothouse where disparagement blooms into insult and small slights that have festered for years blossom into academic rivalries that could spill over into something far more sinister. Marigold must use every ounce of her logic and enlist her eccentric, colorful cast of fellow students and found-family to identify the girl and find the murderer—before they kill again.
