Book excerpt: A haunted Argentinian mansion. A family curse. A twist you'll never see coming. Welcome to Vaccaro School. Simmering in Patagonian myth, The Tenth Girl is a gothic psychological thriller with a haunting twist. At the very southern tip of South America looms an isolated finishing school. Legend has it that the land will curse those who settle there. But for Mavi—a bold Buenos Aires native fleeing the military regime that took her mother—it offers an escape to a new life as a young teacher to Argentina’s elite girls. Mavi tries to embrace the strangeness of the imposing house—despite warnings not to roam at night, threats from an enigmatic young man, and rumors of mysterious Others. But one of Mavi’s ten students is missing, and when students and teachers alike begin to behave as if possessed, the forces haunting this unholy cliff will no longer be ignored... and one of these spirits holds a secret that could unravel Mavi’s existence.

Download or read book Autobiography of a Quack written by Sten Tennander and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part One is an introduction of myself describing my first 40 years starting with the suicide of my mother, continuing with a life supported by a loving father (and a troubled stepmother), going on to choosing the wrong profession and an inappropriate wife ending in divorce but blissful single hood. Part Two presents psychotic madness and the struggle of the mind to maintain control of the self in an environment where distrust of misdiagnosing doctors, prevail. It shows how reality and imagination are mixed together resulting in fascinating but often dangerous situations. Amateurish theories about the anatomy of the brain and characteristics of the nervous system, and what causes homosexuality are shared. In Part Three, resolutions of major issues occur. The psychotic illness comes under control. A mutually healthy relationship with a beautiful and intelligent woman is established. A more suitable profession is identified. A support network is built. Basically, a harmonious person emerges.

Book excerpt: A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2015 An NBC Latino Selection for Ten Great Latino Books Published in 2015 Arriving in Buenos Aires in 1913, with only a suitcase and her father’s cherished violin to her name, seventeen-year-old Leda is shocked to find that the husband she has travelled across an ocean to reach is dead. Unable to return home, alone, and on the brink of destitution, she finds herself seduced by the tango, the dance that underscores every aspect of life in her new city. Knowing that she can never play in public as a woman, Leda disguises herself as a young man to join a troupe of musicians. In the illicit, scandalous world of brothels and cabarets, the line between Leda and her disguise begins to blur, and forbidden longings that she has long kept suppressed are realized for the first time. Powerfully sensual, The Gods of Tango is an erotically charged story of music, passion, and the quest for an authentic life against the odds.

Book Synopsis The Lady from Buenos Aires by : John Lantigua
Download or read book The Lady from Buenos Aires written by John Lantigua and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2007-03-31 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willie Cuesta wears tropical shirts, cool linen slacks, and Mexican sandals to ward off the Florida heat. Formerly a Miami Police Department detective, he now works as chief of security at his brotherÍs salsa club while he waits for new clients at his detective agency in Little Havana. After meeting Fiona Bonaventura, Willie quickly realizes that her predicament isnÍt a straight forward missing-persons case. The elegant Argentinean is convinced that she has found her dead sisterÍs daughter. Her sister Sonia disappeared during ArgentinaÍs ñdirty warî more than twenty years ago, but her pregnant body was never found. Fiona has never stopped searching for her sisterÍs child, and several times has been steps away from finding the girl she is convinced is her niece. This time she has tracked the girl to Miami, and Fiona is determined not to lose her again. As Willie delves into the case, a host of shady characters surface with ties to the Argentinean military dictatorship responsible for the death and disappearance of thousands of citizens: Sarah Ingram, who teaches tango in a dance studio in a quiet, suburban neighborhood; her polo-playing husband who makes it clear he wonÍt tolerate questions about his intelligence work in Argentina years ago; a terrified man who survived torture and imprisonment during the ñdirty warî and may be able to identify some of his torturers if he can set his fear aside; and even an Argentine diplomat. When people associated with the case start turning up dead and Willie finds himself held captive in the back of an SUV, he knows for sure that death squads from another time and place have arrived in Miami. As the vehicle careens through the pre-dawn streets of Miami, Willie Cuesta must hang on desperately as his latest case spirals out of control.
Book Synopsis The Fragility of Bodies by : Sergio Olguin
Download or read book The Fragility of Bodies written by Sergio Olguin and published by Bitter Lemon Press. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When she hears about the suicide of a Buenos Aires train driver who has left a note confessing to four mortal ‘accidents’ on the train tracks, journalist Veronica Rosenthal decides to investigate. For the police the case is closed (suicide is suicide), for Veronica it is the beginning of a journey that takes her into an unfamiliar world of grinding poverty, crime-infested neighborhoods, and train drivers on commuter lines haunted by the memory of bodies hit at speed by their locomotives in the middle of the night. Aided by a train driver with whom she has a tumultuous and reckless affair, a junkie in rehab and two street kids willing to risk everything for a can of Coke, she uncovers a group of men involved in betting on working-class youngsters convinced to play Russian roulette by standing in front of fast-coming trains to see who endures the longest.
Book Synopsis The Scent of Buenos Aires by : Hebe Uhart
Download or read book The Scent of Buenos Aires written by Hebe Uhart and published by Archipelago. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Seemingly naïve but tremendously sharp, Hebe Uhart’s vision is one that could belong to a child, but a child who has up her sleeve the reflective tools of an adult.” — Alejandra Costamagna “These stories rarely adhere to conventional plots, but as mood pieces they're effective glimpses into the peculiarities of Uhart's characters, who crave order but usually concede that the world's default mode is disarray.” — Kirkus Reviews The Scent of Buenos Aires is the first collection of Uhart’s to be published in English, drawing together her best vignettes of quotidian life, stories that sneak up on you. Refreshingly approachable, they are punctuated by street talk and saturated with a cryptic wit that recalls Lydia Davis. In The Scent of Buenos Aires, Uhart renders moments at the zoo, the hair salon, or a homeowners association meeting with delightfully eccentric insight. These stories cast an unusual, intimate light on the inner lives of plants, animals, and humans, magnifying the minute, everyday quirks of Argentina’s small towns: a cat curls around his owner to humor him, a classroom of children sway like trees when their teacher turns her back. Smiling to herself, Uhart reveals the infinite ways we show ourselves to one another.
Book Synopsis Looking for Love in Strange Places: A Memoir for My Stepdaughters by : Diana Page
Download or read book Looking for Love in Strange Places: A Memoir for My Stepdaughters written by Diana Page and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in 1968 Diana Page was going to graduate from the University of Michigan without much hope for marriage or a career. She didn't have a boyfriend, so a prospective husband was unlikely to materialize before the semester ended, and a bachelor's in political science wasn't going to make her easily employable. The solution? Join the Peace Corps where she could help change the world . . . and possibly meet a guy who shared her values. Thus began Diana's adventures. Her travels as a journalist and diplomat took her down the dangerous roads of Latin American history from the 1960s into the twenty-first century. With excerpts from diaries, letters, and news articles, she weaves together a narrative of war and peace, presidents and peasants, but mostly of ordinary people who teach her about life. She also runs into a few extraordinary people along the way: Fidel Castro, Isabel Peron, Pele, Jorge Luis Borges, and Hilary Clinton among others. Looking for Love in Strange Places: A Memoir for My Stepdaughters is a hopeful, humorous account of what happens when you seize the day -- without too many expectations for the future.

Book Synopsis The Third Daughter by : Talia Carner
Download or read book The Third Daughter written by Talia Carner and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In The Third Daughter, Talia Carner ably illuminates a little-known piece of history: the sex trafficking of young women from Russia to South America in the late 19th century. Thoroughly researched and vividly rendered, this is an important and unforgettable story of exploitation and empowerment that will leave you both shaken and inspired.” —Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris The turn of the 20th century finds fourteen-year-old Batya in the Russian countryside, fleeing with her family endless pogroms. Desperate, her father leaps at the opportunity to marry Batya to a worldly, wealthy stranger who can guarantee his daughter an easy life and passage to America. Feeling like a princess in a fairytale, Batya leaves her old life behind as she is whisked away to a new world. But soon she discovers that she’s entered a waking nightmare. Her new “husband” does indeed bring her to America: Buenos Aires, a vibrant, growing city in which prostitution is not only legal but deeply embedded in the culture. And now Batya is one of thousands of women tricked and sold into a brothel. As the years pass, Batya forms deep bonds with her “sisters” in the house as well as some men who are both kind and cruel. Through it all, she holds onto one dream: to bring her family to America, where they will be safe from the anti-Semitism that plagues Russia. Just as Batya is becoming a known tango dancer, she gets an unexpected but dangerous opportunity—to help bring down the criminal network that has enslaved so many young women and has been instrumental in developing Buenos Aires into a major metropolis. A powerful story of finding courage in the face of danger, and hope in the face of despair, The Third Daughter brings to life a dark period of Jewish history and gives a voice to victims whose truth deserves to finally be told.
