Book excerpt: A sweeping novel about the extraordinary woman who captured Napoleon’s heart, created a dynasty, and changed the course of history—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Traitor's Wife, The Accidental Empress, and Sisi “I absolutely loved The Queen’s Fortune, the fascinating, little-known story of Desiree Clary—the woman Napoleon left for Josephine—who ultimately triumphed and became queen of Sweden.”—Martha Hall Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls As the French revolution ravages the country, Desiree Clary is faced with the life-altering truth that the world she has known and loved is gone and it’s fallen on her to save her family from the guillotine. A chance encounter with Napoleon Bonaparte, the ambitious and charismatic young military prodigy, provides her answer. When her beloved sister Julie marries his brother Joseph, Desiree and Napoleon’s futures become irrevocably linked. Quickly entering into their own passionate, dizzying courtship that leads to a secret engagement, they vow to meet in the capital once his career has been secured. But her newly laid plans with Napoleon turn to sudden heartbreak, thanks to the rising star of Parisian society, Josephine de Beauharnais. Once again, Desiree’s life is turned on its head. Swept to the glittering halls of the French capital, Desiree is plunged into the inner circle of the new ruling class, becoming further entangled with Napoleon, his family, and the new Empress. But her fortunes shift once again when she meets Napoleon's confidant and star general, the indomitable Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte. As the two men in Desiree’s life become political rivals and military foes, the question that arises is: must she choose between the love of her new husband and the love of her nation and its Emperor? From the lavish estates of the French Riviera to the raucous streets of Paris and Stockholm, Desiree finds herself at the epicenter of the rise and fall of an empire, navigating a constellation of political giants and dangerous, shifting alliances. Emerging from an impressionable girl into a fierce young woman, she discovers that to survive in this world she must learn to rely upon her instincts and her heart. Allison Pataki’s meticulously researched and brilliantly imagined novel sweeps readers into the unbelievable life of a woman almost lost to history—a woman who, despite the swells of a stunning life and a tumultuous time, not only adapts and survives but, ultimately, reigns at the helm of a dynasty that outlasts an empire.

Download or read book Rifqa written by Mohammed El-Kurd and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rifqa is Mohammed El-Kurd’s debut collection of poetry, written in the tradition of Ghassan Kanafani’s Palestinian Resistance Literature. The book narrates the author’s own experience of dispossession in Sheikh Jarrah--an infamous neighborhood in Jerusalem, Palestine, whose population of refugees continues to live on the brink of homelessness at the hands of the Israeli government and US-based settler organizations. The book, named after the author’s late grandmother who was forced to flee from Haifa upon the genocidal establishment of Israel, makes the observation that home takeovers and demolitions across historical Palestine are not reminiscent of 1948 Nakba, but are in fact a continuation of it: a legalized, ideologically-driven practice of ethnic cleansing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: VOGUE • FORBES • BOOKPAGE • NEW YORK POST • WIRED “I have not been as profoundly moved by a book in years.” —Jodi Picoult Even after she left home for Hollywood, Emmy-nominated TV writer Bess Kalb saved every voicemail her grandmother Bobby Bell ever left her. Bobby was a force—irrepressible, glamorous, unapologetically opinionated. Bobby doted on Bess; Bess adored Bobby. Then, at ninety, Bobby died. But in this debut memoir, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as passionate as it ever was in life. Recounting both family lore and family secrets, Bobby brings us four generations of indomitable women and the men who loved them. There’s Bobby’s mother, who traveled solo from Belarus to America in the 1880s to escape the pogroms, and Bess’s mother, a 1970s rebel who always fought against convention. But it was Bobby and Bess who always had the most powerful bond: Bobby her granddaughter’s fiercest supporter, giving Bess unequivocal love, even if sometimes of the toughest kind. Nobody Will Tell You This But Me marks the creation of a totally new, virtuosic form of memoir: a reconstruction of a beloved grandmother’s words and wisdom to tell her family’s story with equal parts poignancy and hilarity.

Download or read book Breathe written by Imani Perry and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 Chautauqua Prize Finalist 2020 NAACP Image Award Nominee - Outstanding Literary Work (Nonfiction) Best-of Lists: Best Nonfiction Books of 2019 (Kirkus Reviews) · 25 Can't-Miss Books of 2019 (The Undefeated) Explores the terror, grace, and beauty of coming of age as a Black person in contemporary America and what it means to parent our children in a persistently unjust world. Emotionally raw and deeply reflective, Imani Perry issues an unflinching challenge to society to see Black children as deserving of humanity. She admits fear and frustration for her African American sons in a society that is increasingly racist and at times seems irredeemable. However, as a mother, feminist, writer, and intellectual, Perry offers an unfettered expression of love—finding beauty and possibility in life—and she exhorts her children and their peers to find the courage to chart their own paths and find steady footing and inspiration in Black tradition. Perry draws upon the ideas of figures such as James Baldwin, W. E. B. DuBois, Emily Dickinson, Toni Morrison, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Ida B. Wells. She shares vulnerabilities and insight from her own life and from encounters in places as varied as the West Side of Chicago; Birmingham, Alabama; and New England prep schools. With original art for the cover by Ekua Holmes, Breathe offers a broader meditation on race, gender, and the meaning of a life well lived and is also an unforgettable lesson in Black resistance and resilience.

Download or read book In Between Years Life After a Positive Huntington s Disease Test written by Steven Beatty and published by Library and Archives Canada. This book was released on 2018-04-14 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All proceeds from the sale of this book are going to the Huntington Society of Canada for research and family support services! ---- This book is for those of us going through the "in-between years": the years following our HD genetic testing, but before the symptoms of the illness have begun to take hold. The years when we may struggle with this look into the crystal ball we've been given, for whatever reasons are personal to us. The years when we symptom-hunt and worry about every forgotten purse and each trip and stumble. The years when we watch and care for other Huntington's disease affected loved ones and wonder, how long until it's our turn. ---- Excerpt from the book: "It's not the result we were hoping for." Those eight little words echoed in my head like a Mack Truck rolling through a tunnel. A Mack Truck in the form of a telephone call from a Genetic Counsellor at my local hospital. "What, me?", was my gasped response. "Yes," she replied, "I'm sorry." I sat there in total stunned silence and started to think about all the consequences related to what she had just told me. What this news would mean for my family and me, possibly for generations to come. That was the moment my life completely changed. Changed in pretty much almost every conceivable way. How I looked to the future. How I reflected on the past. How I coped with the present. It changed what I found to be important and what I saw not even to be worth my time. It was the day I found out I was positive for the gene mutation that's responsible for Huntington's disease. The disease that I've heard some resources refer to as "one of the worst diseases you can get" and "it's like having Alzheimer's, ALS and Parkinson's disease all at the same time!" Where was I to go from there? What was I supposed to do? How could I cope with the knowledge that, unless a sufficient treatment came along soon, this disease was going to kill me in the not too distant future? I had no idea what to do next, and I felt utterly alone. ---- Chapters in this book include: 1. Steve's Huntington's Disease Story 2. What Is Huntington's Disease? 3. What Does My CAG Number Tell Me? 4. Becoming Involved with Huntington's Disease Associations 5. Your Health Care Team 6. Participating in Research 7. Symptom Seeking 8. Fear 9. When Do I Tell People About My Huntington's Disease? 10. Anger 11. Making Babies 12. Staying Positive 13. Exercise 14. Caring 15. Guilt 16. Journaling 17. Planning Ahead 18. Following the Latest Developments in Huntington's Disease News 19. Is Huntington's Disease Genetic Testing Even Worth the Trouble? 20. When Symptoms Start 21. I Look Forward to The Day When There Won't Be A Need for This Book 22. Calls to Action ---- What is Huntington's Disease?: Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that affects parts of the brain and leads to behavioural, cognitive and movement disorder symptoms. HD is caused by a mutation in a specific gene, now known as the Huntington gene. Huntington's disease is tragic in that it affects people in their prime. Symptoms often begin between the ages of 30- to 50-years-old. Currently, there is no cure for HD and once those affected become symptomatic, death usually occurs in 10-15 years. ---- About the author: Steven Beatty is part of a Huntington's disease family himself and received a positive result on his HD predictive genetic testing in 2015. Since that time, he has developed a passion directed at advocating for the Huntington's disease community. ---- The Huntington Society of Canada is a not-for-profit charitable organization which raises funds to deliver individual and group counselling service to support individuals and families living with Huntington disease (HD) and to fund medical research to delay or stop the progression of the disease
