as the clock chimed the turn of the twentieth century, lilly nelly aphrodite took her first breath. born to a cabaret dancer and soon orphaned in a scandalous double murder, lilly finds refuge at a catholic orphanage, coming under the wing of the, at times, severe sister august, the first in a string of lost loves. there she meets hanne schmidt, a teen prostitute, and forms a bond that will last them through tumultuous love affairs, disastrous marriages, and destitution during the first world war and the subsequent economic collapse. as the century progresses, lilly and hanne move from the tawdry glamour of the tingle-tangle nightclubs to the shadow world of health films before lilly finds success and stardom in the new medium of motion pictures and ultimately falls in love with a man whose fate could cost her everything she has worked for or help her discover her true self. gripping and darkly seductive, the luminous life of lilly aphrodite showcases all the glitter and splendour of the brief heyday of the weimar republic, and the rise of hollywood to its golden age. as it foreshadows the horrors of the second world war, the novel asks what price is paid when identity becomes unfixed and the social order is upended. show more (1)
what kind of a woman would sell her own child? a monster. tess was just eleven years old when her mother sold her to a rich elderly man. grace ran a brothel in croydon and she plunged her young daughter into a terrifying world of sex and depravity. grace was ruthless in her pursuit of money and had a toxic mix of cunning and high ambition. dangerous criminals visited the brothel every day, and tess was exposed to things no little girl should see. a timid child who longed for her mother's love, she grew up in a world of unimaginable horrors with no one to turn to. her mother ensured that tess followed her footsteps and began selling herself. she later opened a brothel too, but became known for looking after her girls and running it as cleanly and as fairly as she could. along the way she encountered some fascinating characters, including christine keeler, the kray twins and myra hindley, as well as numerous well-known actors and politicians. amazingly, after such a horrendous start in life, tess has left prostitution and completely turned her life around. sold offers readers a shocking insight into a criminal underworld and is a compelling account of one woman's recovery from the ultimate betrayal. show more (1)
winner of the nobel prize in literature deep within the remote backlands of nineteenth-century brazil lies canudos, home to all the damned of the earth: prostitutes, bandits, beggars, and every kind of outcast. it is a place where history and civilization have been wiped away. there is no money, no taxation, no marriage, no census. canudos is a cauldron for the revolutionary spirit in its purest form, a state with all the potential for a true, libertarian paradise--and one the brazilian government is determined to crush at any cost. in perhaps his most ambitious and tragic novel, mario vargas llosa tells his own version of the real story of canudos, inhabiting characters on both sides of the massive, cataclysmic battle between the society and government troops. the resulting novel is a fable of latin american revolutionary history, an unforgettable story of passion, violence, and the devastation that follows from fanaticism. show more (1)
