![]() ![]() ![]() Many are threatened by a woman who leads, and Joan draws wrath and suspicion from all corners, even as her first taste of fame and glory leave her vulnerable to her own powerful ambition. This deeply researched novel is a sweeping narrative of her life, from a childhood steeped in both joy and violence to her meteoric rise to fame at the head of the French army, where she navigates both the perils of the battlefield and the equally treacherous politics of the royal court. Chen's hands, the myth and legend of Joan of Arc is transformed into a flesh-and-blood young woman: reckless, steel-willed, and brilliant. From this chaos emerges a teenage girl who will turn the tide of battle and lead the French to victory, an unlikely hero whose name will echo across the centuries. France is mired in a losing war against England. Saint? A stunning secular reimagining of the epic life of Joan of Arc, in the bold tradition of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hallġ412.

His family posed on the museum steps or beneath the brilliant marquee with the poster screaming over their left shoulders, always the same composition.

It did not allow them to book airfare to beach resorts with close access to rain forests via courtesy shuttle. The family camera did not transmit their coordinates to an orbiting satellite. His parents were holdouts in an age of digital multiplicity, raking the soil in lonesome areas of resistance: a coffee machine that didn't tell time, dictionaries made out of paper, a camera that only took pictures.

Profane, manic, and tipping into the uncanny, it's a story of loneliness, obsession, and the drive to leave a mark. Hanya Yanagihara, author of A Little Lifeįoxcatcher meets The Art of Fielding, Stephen Florida follows a college wrestler in his senior season, when every practice, every match, is a step closer to greatness and a step further from sanity. This is a shape-shifter of a book, both a dark ode to the mysteries and landscapes of the American West and a complex and convincing character study. Habash has a canny sense of how young men speak and behave, and in Stephen, he's created a singular character: funny, ambitious, affecting, but also deeply troubled, vulnerable, and compellingly strange. In Stephen Florida, Gabe Habash has created a coming-of-age story with its own, often explosive, rhythm and velocity. About the Book A troubled college wrestler in North Dakota falls in love and becomes increasingly unhinged during his final season. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can read or borrow a book if the bar underneath the cover says "Borrow" or "Read."
