The tale finds its particular focus in the adult Lizzie’s being taken on several summer vacations by her master-lover to a bucolic Ohio resort, Tawawa House, that uniquely welcomes Southern slave owners and their black slave-mistresses among its Northern guests. Published last year and now out in paperback, “Wench” tells the story of a Tennessee slave girl, Lizzie, who at age 13 becomes the concubine of her master, Nathan Drayle, about two decades before the Civil War. How this came to be - that is, the nature of the sexual relationship between blacks and whites in slavery-era America - is examined in layers of beautiful complexity in Dolen Perkins-Valdez’s debut novel, “Wench.” It’s a fact that the majority of black Americans, about 60 percent, have some European blood - a white ancestor somewhere in their past. Amistad, 290 pages.Īuthor appearance: Dolen Perkins-Valdez will speak at Barnes & Noble Buckhead, 2900 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, at 7 p.m. With its keen observations of Black life and the condition of modern motherhood, as well as the consequences of motherless-ness, Seven Days in June is by turns humorous, warm and deeply sensual. But before Shane disappears again, there are a few questions she needs answered. Over the next seven days in the middle of a steamy Brooklyn summer, Eva and Shane reconnect, but Eva’s not sure how she can trust the man who broke her heart, and she needs to get him out of New York so that her life can return to normal. They may be pretending that everything is fine now, but they can’t deny their chemistry-or the fact that they’ve been secretly writing to each other in their books ever since. What no one knows is that twenty years earlier, teenage Eva and Shane spent one crazy, torrid week madly in love. When Shane and Eva meet unexpectedly at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their past buried traumas, but the eyebrows of New York’s Black literati. Shane Hall is a reclusive, enigmatic, award-winning literary author who, to everyone’s surprise, shows up in New York. Seven days to fall in love, fifteen years to forget and seven days to get it all back again… From the author of The Perfect Find, this is a witty, romantic, and sexy-as-hell new novel of two writers and their second chance at love.īrooklynite Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotica writer, who is feeling pressed from all sides.

In this novel, the plot and sub-plots move between the mid-1970’s and roughly 30 years later. She masterfully deploys her plots in such a way that fascination is enhanced. It is authentic – I believe in the reality of all the characters and what they are experiencing. It is witty with surprise literary flourishes. This novel is a great example of why I love Kate Atkinson’s writing so much. Later, he contacts the police to say that he has seen this same man in a wheelchair: it is Venables. In the police investigation, there is a witness, Zachariah Osborne, who describes a man seen following Father Gorman shortly before the murder. In retrospect, it seems to Mark that she has been outlining to him a service that she would be willing to provide. He also visits the Pale Horse, where Thyrza discusses with Mark the ability to kill at a distance, which she claims to have developed. Visiting houses in the area, he meets a wheelchair-using man, Mr Venables, who has no apparent explanation for his substantial wealth. When Mark goes to Much Deeping with the famous mystery writer, Ariadne Oliver, to a village fete organised by his cousin, he learns of a house converted from an old inn called the Pale Horse, now inhabited by three modern "witches" led by Thyrza Grey. The Pale Horse is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club on 6 November 1961 and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company the following year. Following these links will help you quickly find a broader range of options if the listed books do not fit what you are looking for. Links to the syllabi and other sources used to create this list are at the end of the post. These lists were created by searching through hundreds of university course syllabi, internet encyclopedia bibliographies, and community recommendations. This list is part of a collection of over 100 philosophy reading lists which aim to provide a central resource for philosophy book recommendations. Personal book recommendations tend to be highly subjective, idiosyncratic, and unreliable. It’s also worth noting that it is not a list of personal recommendations. If you prefer more depth, you can choose a more comprehensive introduction or read Aristotle for yourself. For example, if you tend to find classic works of philosophy difficult to understand, you might want to start with a short, beginner-friendly introduction. The best book for you will depend heavily on your preferred learning style and the amount of time/energy you’re willing to spend reading. It’s important to note that there is no single best book on Aristotle. From beginner-friendly introductions to classic works by Aristotle, this page features books to suit any learning style. Visit the 2021 Bestseller List if you want to find out which books kept ranking into the next year. Note: The week count in this list stops on the last week of 2020. Instead of just the current best seller list, which you can find all over the place, I’ve compiled a list of every book that has appeared on the New York Times Fiction Best Sellers list in 2020 for Hardcover Fiction. Here are all the New York Times fiction bestsellers from 2020. When I couldn’t find it, I decided to create it. I just wanted all the bestselling fiction books gathered together in one place. However, scrolling through the list week by week on The New York Times website is rather annoying. I wanted to know what books were the most widely read, and start with those. When I first started reading adult fiction, one of the first places I went for book recommendations was the New York Times Fiction Best Sellers. Since then, becoming a New York Times bestseller has become a dream for virtually every writer. Since 1931, The New York Times has been publishing a weekly list of bestselling books. Go beyond just the current list of New York Times Fiction Best Sellers to discover every bestselling book listed on the NYT Bestseller List in 2020.
