"No other works specifically devoted to character seek to provide such detail" as this compendium of biographies of American literary characters ( Library Journal ). Major Characters in American Fiction is the perfect companion for everyone who loves literature—students, book clubs, and serious readers at every level. Developed at Columbia University's Center for American Culture Studies, Major Characters in American Fiction offers in-depth essays on the "lives" of more than 1,500 characters, figures as varied in ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, age, and experience as we are. Inhabiting fictional works written from 1790 to 1991, the characters are presented in biographical essays that tell each one's life story. They are drawn from novels and short stories that represent ever era, genre, and style of American fiction writing—Natty Bumppo of the Leatherstocking Tales, Celie of The Color Purple, and everyone in between. "[An] interesting resource." — School Library Journal "A readable work that would be accessible to both high-school students and patrons of the public library." — Booklist

Na continuação de A ladra amaldiçoada, acompanhamos mais uma aventura da nossa anti-heroína preferida, recheada de humor e reviravoltas. Depois de derrubar um marquês corrupto, quebrar uma maldição e se apaixonar pelo detetive em seu encalço, Vanja ainda tem um mistério pela frente: sua família perdida. Mas ela não pode ir atrás deles sendo uma ladra; antes, precisa se tornar uma pessoa digna de uma vida melhor. Só que encontrar uma ocupação honesta não é tão fácil quando seu maior talento é mentir... Certa noite, Vanja se mete em encrenca e acaba inventando uma deusa para enganar um vilarejo. Seu plano era só fabricar uns milagres e seguir seu caminho. O problema é que a mentira acaba tomando grandes proporções e, de repente, existe uma seita cultuando a suposta deusa. Para piorar, quem chega para investigar o caso é justamente Emeric, o amor que Vanja havia abandonado. Mas o que nenhum dos dois previa era que a deusa ia aparecer em carne e osso — ou névoa e luz, no caso — e escolher Emeric como sacrifício. Enquanto sai em busca de uma solução, Vanja ainda terá de lidar com as cicatrizes de seu passado sofrido.
