The book is now in 26 foreign editions, including most European languages as well as Chinese, Japanese, Urdu, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, and Turkish. These challenge conventional views about cultural evolution up to the time of the book's publication. The book closes with two contrasting future scenarios. She traces this tension in Western culture from prehistory to the present. Eisler proposes tension between these two underlies the span of human cultural evolution. The author presents a conceptual framework for studying social systems with particular attention to how a society constructs roles and relations between the female and male halves of humanity.Įisler highlights the tension between what she calls the dominator or domination model and the more naturally feminine partnership model. ![]() The Chalice and The Blade: Our History, Our Future is a 1987 book by Riane Eisler.

![]() It is what has happened before and she barely survived it. Even though Maura’s each of these awful things, she can still be broken. “Endure the Pain” is the second novel in the “Maura Quinn” series and was released in 2020. Most of all, this is how she embraces the darkness. Proceed with caution, because this is Maura’s descent or her rise, just depends on how you look at it.

However things are going to be different this time around. Six years back, she walked away from the family. However the darkness cannot be suppressed forever. “Embrace the Darkness” is the first novel in the “Maura Quinn” series and was released in 2020.

Her favorite genre is romance and has got the overflowing bookshelf to prove it. ![]() ![]() ![]() To Ashley, there is not a better pastime than allowing your mind escape in a good book.

Nasrin’s parents arrange her betrothal to a doctor doing his residency, starting a ticking clock for Sahar. They also might be gay-that is, they love each other and are attracted to one another, but in Iran this is illegal. ![]() ![]() Sahar and Nasrin are 17-year-old Iranian girls on the cusp of womanhood. ![]() Finally, it is a story about the outsize importance we place upon gender. It is a reminder that, in the face of incredible oppression, people always find a way to strive to be together, to hope, to have enough. Ultimately a tragedy of sorts, If You Could Be Mine is nevertheless filled with promises of new beginnings. Sara Farizan poses a thorny problem here and asks very real questions about the lengths to which one might go to be with one’s forbidden love.

Her horse, Harry, broke a leg coming down from a jump and Annemarie was badly injured and Harry had to be shot. Then her past was resurrected in the form of a horse that brought back all her emotions from 20 years before when she was an Olympic class horse jumper.

Then, in a few short days her life imploded she was fired from her job, her husband told her he was leaving her for a woman 15 years her junior and she learned her father had ALS.

And do we even have to talk about Gone Girl? Who didn't tear through those pages? It's this kind of obsessive, page-turning, stay-up-late reading that makes a novel an It Book. It's Compulsively ReadableĮven at more than 700 pages, readers devoured The Goldfinch like it was a picture book. Still, We Were Liars deserves the designation, despite (and probably because) it's a young adult book, and it's because of the three things that make an ItBook an It Book: 1. I'm a big fan of my YA girl Rowell and of Moriarty, whose Big Little Lies is both insightful and hilarious. All The Light We Cannot See is mesmerizing and it has a good chance of taking home the National Book Award for fiction next month. I'm not here to take down Doerr, Moriarty, or Kidd because I think they're all wonderfully talented. The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd.All The Light We Cannot Seeby Anthony Doerr. ![]()
