In Gayle Brandeis' haunting and haunted novel-in-poems, \u003ci\u003eMany Restless Concerns\u003c\/i\u003e, she invokes such a chorus, the true story of hundreds of young women tortured to death by the Countess Bathory. Brandeis presents their gifts, their dreams, as well as the ways they died, and demonstrates that it is through collective action that they ultimately find justice. You will never un-hear their mournful, defiant and triumphal song. -- Terry Wolverton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrandeis, Gayle:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Gayle Brandeis is the author of \u003cem\u003eFruitflesh: Seeds of Inspiration for Women Who Write\u003c\/em\u003e (HarperOne), and the novels \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Dead Birds\u003c\/em\u003e (HarperCollins), which won the Bellwether Prize for Fiction of Social Engagement, \u003cem\u003eSelf Storage\u003c\/em\u003e (Ballantine), \u003cem\u003eDelta Girls\u003c\/em\u003e (Ballantine), and \u003cem\u003eMy Life with the Lincolns\u003c\/em\u003e (Henry Holt), which received a Silver Nautilus Book Award and was chosen as a state-wide read in Wisconsin.
