To make the sale, Isa will need to learn the art istry of a master forger, before the children can be deported, and before she can be outed as a collaborator. One more forgery, a copy of an exquisite Vermeer, and the Nazis will pay for the rescue of the very children they are trying annihilate. Isa sells her beautiful forgery to none other than Hitler himself, and on the way to the auction, discovers that Truus is part of a resistance ring working to smuggle Jewish babies out of Amsterdam.īut Truus cannot save more children without money. She sells them a fake-a Rembrandt copy drawn by her talented father-a sale that sets Isa perilously close to the second most hated class of people in Amsterdam: the collaborators. So, when the unpaid taxes threaten her beloved but empty gallery, Isa decides to make the Nazis pay. And masterpiece by masterpiece, the Nazis are buying and stealing her country’s heritage, feeding the Third Reich’s ravenous appetite for culture and art. The “degenerate” art of the Gallery de Smit is confiscated, the artists in hiding or deported, and her best friend, Truus, flees to join the shadowy Dutch resistance. Isa de Smit was raised in the vibrant, glittering world of her parents’ small art gallery in Amsterdam, a hub of beauty, creativity, and expression, until the Nazi occupation wiped the color from her city’s palette.

I just started reading lesbian romance novels, and am enjoying them, but find myself wishing for a little more angst than the typical Bold Strokes Books title offers. I have a request for book recommendations, if you don’t mind. Sometimes you want queer ladies to get a nice happily-ever-after but you want them to have to really work for it, you know? That’s where this month’s Ask Your Friendly Neighborhood Lesbrarian question comes in. Casey the Canadian Lesbrarian has curated a list of angsty romance reads for when you want queer ladies to get a nice happily-ever-after but you want them to have to really work for it-check out the full article on Autostraddle, which includes Avery Brooks’s Other Girls. This collection serves as a corrective by bringing articles on SNCC's activities in Arkansas together for the first time, by providing powerful firsthand testimonies, and by collecting key historical documents from SNCC's role in the region's emergence from the slough of southern injustice. In the five short years before it disbanded, the SNCC's Arkansas Project played a pivotal part in transforming the state, yet this fascinating branch of the national organization has barely garnered a footnote in the history of the civil rights movement. Thanks in large part to SNCC's bold initiatives, most of Little Rock's public and private facilities were desegregated by 1963, and in the years that followed many more SNCC volunteers rushed to the state to set up projects across the Arkansas Delta to help empower local people to take a stand against racial discrimination.

Below are five ways she says people like me - that is, people interested in a relationship, but who dread the dating process - can start to rethink the way we date, or at least, the way we feel about dating. I asked Kara about practical ways to overcome and approach dating stress differently. Through all of that, I had failed to consider the most important question: What do I want out of all of this? I’d drive myself crazy over hypotheticals and the impossibly high expectations of a person I hadn’t even met yet. “I think romantic relationships are the perfect nexus of everything that holds us back in life: social conditioning, patriarchy, family patterns, our desires for human connection, our fears of rejection, and our stories about ourselves and our potential.”Īfter taking a step back from my feelings, I realized that my dating-related anxieties - the stress of keeping someone interested, but seeming fun enough, all while maintaining enough distance to be alluring, for example - put my emotions in the hands of my date. “I work with people who know they ‘should’ feel confident, but secretly worry that the reason they don’t have a partner is that there is something wrong with them,” she tells me.

I'm purposely not mentioning who the guy is because I think it may be spoiler-y for those who have yet to read the book. The Bianca in this novella is nothing like the Bianca readers loved to hate in the two novels, and the guy she's with here isn't the guy I thought she would be all coupled up with. I am one of many who thought this was the series ender, but after reading this book, it's clear that all things Royal Hearts Academy does not end here.

Although this is one of the few times we step inside her home, you can now experience a complete tour (well, only if you have $27.5 Million USD in your pocket). Fans of the picture will remember when Sachs entered Priestly’s home to leave “the book” and was bribed upstairs by her twin daughters. The film starred Meryl Streep as Runway Magazine’s Editor-In-Chief, Miranda Priestly, and Anne Hathaway as her under-experienced assistant, Andrea Sachs. |
