Book excerpt: Dahlia Bianchi is dying, thus prompting her to share a revelation with her youngest daughter, Liliana, before her passing. This sets in motion a series of new discoveries that prompt Lili to reconsider her allegiance to her selfish and vindictive older sister, Rosanna. It is 1945, and World War II has just ended. Dahlia's eldest daughter, Rose, is the brash and malicious vixen whose contempt for Lili is beyond the bounds of normality. Rose nicknames virtuous, innocent younger Lili after the ancient mythological demoness Lilith, a beautifully dangerous and sexual goddess of the night. Their bitter rivalry and resentment escalates to greater levels when both sisters become intertwined with the same men. To escape the remains of their war-torn village of Portici in Naples and the shadow of her alluring and seductive sibling, Rose marries handsome American GI Manuele Catalano and begins her new life in the United States. However, unbeknownst to Rose, her younger sister, Lili, marries Rose's ex-beau, Luca Marchese, back in Italy. There, Lili embarks on a mission of uncovering more family secrets. Rose's determination is dedicated to making herself a powerful, rich, and relevant socialite among her newfound family and friends. Her new husband, Manny, happens to be the son of wealthy New York businessman and Neapolitan, La Camorra crime boss, Giancarlo Catalano of Brooklyn Heights. When Rose betrays her father-in-law along with his kin and crew, her impetuous actions and shameless conduct drive the head of the Catalano clan on a path to reveal his daughter-in-law's shady past and deceptions. Giancarlo sets out on a journey to uncover his own connection to Rose's secrecy and have retribution by exploiting her disloyalty and resentment of her younger sibling known as Lady Lilith.
Download or read book The Book of Night Women written by Marlon James and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the National Book Award finalist Black Leopard, Red Wolf and the WINNER of the 2015 Man Booker Prize for A Brief History of Seven Killings "An undeniable success.” — The New York Times Book Review A true triumph of voice and storytelling, The Book of Night Women rings with both profound authenticity and a distinctly contemporary energy. It is the story of Lilith, born into slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the eighteenth century. Even at her birth, the slave women around her recognize a dark power that they- and she-will come to both revere and fear. The Night Women, as they call themselves, have long been plotting a slave revolt, and as Lilith comes of age they see her as the key to their plans. But when she begins to understand her own feelings, desires, and identity, Lilith starts to push at the edges of what is imaginable for the life of a slave woman, and risks becoming the conspiracy's weak link. But the real revelation of the book-the secret to the stirring imagery and insistent prose-is Marlon James himself, a young writer at once breathtakingly daring and wholly in command of his craft.

But she proved to be a person so troublesome that she vanishes from her rightful place in civilization’s mythological legends in place of Eve, the first wife.

Download or read book Lilith s Fire written by Deborah Grenn-Scott and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Lilith's Fire, Grenn-Scott examines why and how modern women are still demonized-identified as "bad" for actions perceived as reasonable for men, through techniques used for thousands of years-and how women have started to reverse this tendency by redefining right and wrong. Demonization, she notes, has been effective: controlling, manipulating and dividing women to keep them powerless, pitting Lilith against Eve, "good girl" against "bad girl"; and as a means of keeping one group, religion or idea dominant over another. In dismantling this technique, the author shows that portrayals of women as innately evil undermine the self-confidence of all women, and in turn their ability to take risks, assume leadership or claim power, from bedroom to boardroom. She provides strong models for women of a more proud, sensual, confident way of being; along the way, she poses difficult questions, such as: How can women become more aware that they have choice? Do we give our religious and spiritual leaders too much power? How do we make change, in our own lives and in the world? What forms of social action are most effective? Lilith's Fire opens a dialogue that the author hopes may lead to some answers, as it offers women a transformational tool to help them recognize, appreciate and draw on the strength and creativity of their own lifeforce, the first step in creating positive change.
