Three love stories, a murder mystery, and a nuclear espionage plot converge in this noir comedy about marriage and other explosive devices. It’s 1952: America’s on the verge of the H-bomb, Dwight Eisenhower’s on the campaign trail, and “I Love Lucy’s” on Monday nights. Meanwhile, Senator Joe McCarthy’s daughter just got engaged to a Soviet spy, and Boston detective Maggie Pelletier has to find out who dumped the dead guy in the Harbor—or else lose out on a honeymoon in Havana. A blunt-nosed, sharp-eyed look at love and tying (and untying, and retying) the knot.
Recommended for ages 15 & up.

Inspired by the real love letters between Mary Woolley and Jeannette Marks, spanning from 1899 to 1937, Brynna Turner’s acclaimed Bull in a China Shop is an excavation of queer history — a love story disguised as a revolution, or perhaps a revolution in the guise of a romance.
It asks bold questions: What does it take to start a revolution? What does it mean to be at odds with the world? And how the hell do we grow old together?
Recommended for ages 15 & up (adult language and intimacy).
