![]() But upon opening an eighteenth-century study of Shakespeare forgeries, he discovers a Victorian watercolor of a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to Amanda. ![]() Nine months after the death of his beloved wife Amanda left him shattered, Peter Byerly, a young antiquarian bookseller, relocates from North Carolina to the English countryside, hoping to outrun his grief and rediscover the joy he once took in collecting and restoring rare books. ![]() Guaranteed to capture the hearts of everyone who truly loves books, The Bookman’s Tale is a former bookseller’s sparkling novel and a delightful exploration of one of literature’s most tantalizing mysteries with echoes of Shadow of the Wind and A.S.

The rape is depicted quite graphically and I found that unnecessary. She is taken in by one of the rulers of the military district, and tortured by his son to bring out her magical abilities. Yelena is an orphan, growing up in a country with a military dictatorship. The world building is gorgeous, the world that Yelena is a prisoner in is richly described even though Yelena’s view of it is limited. She studies, she learns, and she grows as a person. She isn’t just suddenly amazing at everything. The protagonist is a realistic heroine, Yelena has magical abilities, but in order to fight her way out of the terrible situation she is, she has to train. And I can see why someone would find this dear to them. ![]() I saw this book, Maria Snyder’s Poison Study, on display at my local library under a section of their librarian’s favorite books.

In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
