Paperback. Condizione: Good. A richly imagined biographical novel, this sweeping work of historical fiction brings to life the extraordinary journey of Josephine Baker?legendary performer, civil rights activist, and World War II resistance hero.Born into poverty in the United States, Josephine Baker rose from domestic servitude to international stardom after reinventing herself in 1920s Paris. Famous for her daring performances and iconic banana skirt, she captivated audiences while escaping the racism that limited her opportunities at home. But fame was only one part of her story. As Europe descended into war, Josephine became an unlikely hero, using her celebrity to aid the French Resistance and risking her life to fight fascism. In later years, she returned to the United States to confront segregation head-on, lending her voice to the Civil Rights Movement and standing alongside leaders at the March on Washington. Her personal life?marked by passionate love affairs, heartbreak, and her creation of the ?Rainbow Tribe? of adopted children?was as bold and unconventional as her public one. Spanning from Jazz Age Paris to wartime Europe and mid-century America, this intimate and vividly researched novel captures the final chapter of Josephine Baker?s life while honoring the triumphs, sacrifices, and courage that made her one of the most remarkable women of the 20th century.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Rich in intrigue and scheming, love and lust, Sherry Jones's vibrant historical novel follows four women destined to sway the fate of nations and the hearts of kings. Amid the lush valleys and fragrant wildflowers of Provence, Marguerite, Eléonore, Sanchia, and Beatrice have learned to charm, hunt, dance, and debate under the careful tutelage of their ambitious mother--and to abide by the countess's motto: "Family comes first." With Provence under constant attack, their legacy and safety depend upon powerful alliances. Marguerite's illustrious match with the young King Louis IX makes her Queen of France. Soon Eléonore--independent and daring--is betrothed to Henry III of England. In turn, shy, devout Sanchia and tempestuous Beatrice wed noblemen who will also make them queens. Yet a crown is no guarantee of protection. Enemies are everywhere, from Marguerite's duplicitous mother-in-law to vengeful lovers and land-hungry barons. Then there are the dangers that come from within, as loyalty succumbs to bitter sibling rivalry, and sister is pitted against sister for the prize each believes is rightfully hers--Provence itself. From the treacherous courts of France and England, to the bloody tumult of the Crusades, Sherry Jones traces the extraordinary true story of four fascinating sisters whose passions, conquests, and progeny shaped the course of history.…
