France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever ― and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name. This event will have CART transcription. Victoria “V.

You can find a copy of it in the  collection The Dreaming Sex, edited by Mike Ashley. It is more than likely available at your local library, or can be purchased on Amazon. Sandra on IG: @_____sandrita_____ We both loved this story, and how well it illustrated the creepy side of science, pairing the trope of tenacious governance with a bit of mad-scientist on the side. I realized too late that we never gave a synopsis: Madeleine, a young English woman, moves to St, Petersburg to become a nanny to the two children, Olga and Maroussa, of English scientist Dr. Chance and his wife. Once there she finds herself enlisted as secretary to Dr. Chance's science experiments, after expressing an interest in the subject to the two girls.  Olga and Maroussa warn Madeleine that one night they followed their father into the secret lab and hear someone calling for help. By ingratiating herself into his confidence, Madeleine soon discovers that Dr. Chance's previous secretary, another English man, has been held captive and experimented on in the name of Dr. Chance's desire to photograph thought. With the help of Olga and Maroussa, Madeleine is able to free the captive secretary and have Dr. Chance arrested. Our next story will be Everfair by Nisi Shawl. Sisters of Sci-Fi is available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and through the RSS Feed.
