Book excerpt: Many little girls dream of becoming a princess some day. Theresia Pointinger, the "Salt Princess," Reserl to her friends, made the dream come true. The daughter of an estate owner near Austria's Lake Mondsee, she cast her spell over one of the most powerful men of her age: Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. Skilfully, she arranged to become his lover, leaving nothing to chance. In the ten years they were together, she started a family with the emperor and had four children with him. The first-born son, Anton, was even given the privilege of being raised at the imperial court by the side of his father. In 1873, the emperor was prevented from visiting Theresia because of the World Exhibition in Vienna. Almost on a whim, she married Willi Buchwald, a comital hunter. But even this marriage did not stop Theresia from continuing her love affair with Franz Joseph when he returned from Vienna. The book tells this unique and fascinating story against the scenic backdrop of Austria's Salzkammergut region. It also describes the lives of the emperor's four children, some of which took a tragic course. The author, Hubert Pointinger, was born in 1961 and is married. He works as an airline pilot and lives in the Salzkammergut region. He is a direct male descendent of the emperor. This second edition is based on the first edition, published under the same title in May 2007 by Austrian publishers Ueberreuter. Contains 77 illustrations.

Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short.

Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts.

Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER THE WASHINGTON POST NOTABLE BOOK OF 2021 A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK WINNER of the Isabel Allende Most Inspirational Fiction Award, She Reads Best of 2021 Awards • FINALIST for the 2022 Southern Book Prize • LONGLISTED for Crook’s Corner Book Prize • NOMINEE for 2021 GoodReads Choice Award in Debut Novel and Historical Fiction A sweeping, masterful debut about a daughter's fateful choice, a mother motivated by her own past, and a family legacy that begins in Cuba before either of them were born In present-day Miami, Jeanette is battling addiction. Daughter of Carmen, a Cuban immigrant, she is determined to learn more about her family history from her reticent mother and makes the snap decision to take in the daughter of a neighbor detained by ICE. Carmen, still wrestling with the trauma of displacement, must process her difficult relationship with her own mother while trying to raise a wayward Jeanette. Steadfast in her quest for understanding, Jeanette travels to Cuba to see her grandmother and reckon with secrets from the past destined to erupt. From 19th-century cigar factories to present-day detention centers, from Cuba to Mexico, Gabriela Garcia's Of Women and Salt is a kaleidoscopic portrait of betrayals—personal and political, self-inflicted and those done by others—that have shaped the lives of these extraordinary women. A haunting meditation on the choices of mothers, the legacy of the memories they carry, and the tenacity of women who choose to tell their stories despite those who wish to silence them, this is more than a diaspora story; it is a story of America’s most tangled, honest, human roots.
