    -Titulo Original : Happiness Falls (good Morning America Book Club) A Novel-Fabricante : Hogarth-Descripcion Original: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK * When a father goes missing, his family’s desperate search leads them to question everything they know about him and one another in this thrilling page-turner, a deeply moving portrait of a family in crisis from the award-winning author of Miracle Creek. Belletrist Book Club Pick * Finalist for the New American Voices Award * “This is a story with so many twists and turns I was riveted through the last page.”-Jodi Picoult One of the Most Anticipated Books of the Season: The New York Times * Los Angeles Times * Oprah Quarterly * Time * St. Louis Post Dispatch * Lit Hub * Publishers Weekly * CrimeReads * ABC News * USA Today “A brilliant, satisfying, compassionate mystery that is as much about language and storytelling as it is about a missing father. I loved this book.”-Gabrielle Zevin, author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow “I fell in love with the fascinating, brilliant family at the center of this riveting book.”-Ann Napolitano, author of Hello Beautiful “We didn’t call the police right away.” Those are the electric first words of this extraordinary novel about a biracial Korean American family in Virginia whose lives are upended when their beloved father and husband goes missing. Mia, the irreverent, hyperanalytical twenty-year-old daughter, has an explanation for everything-which is why she isn’t initially concerned when her father and younger brother Eugene don’t return from a walk in a nearby park. They must have lost their phone. Or stopped for an errand somewhere. But by the time Mia’s brother runs through the front door bloody and alone, it becomes clear that the father in this tight-knit family is missing and the only witness is Eugene, who has the rare genetic condition Angelman syndrome and cannot speak. What follows is both a ticking-clock investigation into the whereabouts of a father and an emotionally rich portrait of a family whose most personal secrets just may be at the heart of his disappearance. Full of shocking twists and fascinating questions of love, language, and human connection, Happiness Falls is a mystery, a family drama, and a novel of profound philosophical inquiry. With all the powerful storytelling she brought to her award-winning debut, Miracle Creek, Angie Kim turns the missing-person story into something wholly original, creating an indelible tale of a family who must go to remarkable lengths to truly understand one another...

    Book : The Dinner - Koch, Herman

    -Titulo Original : The Dinner-Fabricante : Hogarth-Descripcion Original: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The darkly suspenseful tale of two families struggling to make the hardest decision of their lives-all over the course of one meal. Now a major motion picture. “Chilling, nasty, smart, shocking, and unputdownable.”-Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl It’s a summer’s evening in Amsterdam, and two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant for dinner. Between mouthfuls of food and over the scrapings of cutlery, the conversation remains a gentle hum of polite discourse. But behind the empty words, terrible things need to be said, and with every forced smile and every new course, the knives are being sharpened. Each couple has a fifteen-year-old son. The two boys are united by their accountability for a single horrific act-an act that has triggered a police investigation and shattered the comfortable, insulated worlds of their families. As the dinner reaches its culinary climax, the conversation finally touches on their children, and as civility and friendship disintegrate, each couple shows just how far they are prepared to go to protect those they love. A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK “A European Gone Girl . . . A sly psychological thriller.”-The Wall Street Journal “Brilliantly engineered . . .

    -Titulo Original : Solito A Memoir-Fabricante : Hogarth-Descripcion Original: New York Times Bestseller * Read With Jenna Book Club Pick as seen on Today * Winner of the Los Angeles Times Christopher Isherwood Prize for Autobiography * Winner of the American Library Association Alex Award A young poet tells the inspiring story of his migration from El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine in this “gripping memoir” (NPR) of bravery, hope, and finding family. Finalist for the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction * One of the New York Public Library’s Ten Best Books of the Year Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence and the PEN/Open Book Award “I read Solito with my heart in my throat and did not burst into tears until the last sentence. What a person, what a writer, what a book.”-Emma Straub “A riveting tale of perseverance and the lengths humans will go to help each other in times of struggle.”-Dave Eggers ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, The Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Vulture, She Reads, Kirkus Reviews Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago-“one day, you’ll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.” Javier Zamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks. At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that await him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family. A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home...

At school, Connell is popular and well liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation-awkward but electrifying-something life changing begins. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other.

It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find that they can’t. Praise for Normal People “[A] novel that demands to be read compulsively, in one sitting.”-The Washington Post “Arguably the buzziest novel of the season, Sally Rooney’s elegant sophomore effort . . . is a worthy successor to Conversations with Friends.

    Book : Our Share Of Night A Novel - Enriquez, Mariana

    -Titulo Original : Our Share Of Night A Novel-Fabricante : Hogarth-Descripcion Original: “A masterpiece of supernatural horror.”-The Washington Post “An enchanting, shattering, once-in-a-lifetime reading experience.”-The New York Times A woman’s mysterious death puts her husband and son on a collision course with her demonic family in the first novel to be translated into English by the International Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed-“the most exciting discovery I’ve made in fiction for some time” (Kazuo Ishiguro). ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2023: The New York Times, Oprah Daily, BuzzFeed, Elle, Electric Lit, Book Riot, BookPage, The Rumpus, World Literature Today, Tordotcom, CrimeReads, Lit Hub, Publishers Weekly “A magnificent accomplishment.”-Alan Moore, author of Watchmen “A masterpiece of literary horror.”-Publishers Weekly (starred review) “One of Latin America’s most exciting authors.”-Silvia Moreno-Garcia A young father and son set out on a road trip, devastated by the death of the wife and mother they both loved. United in grief, the pair travel to her ancestral home, where they must confront the terrifying legacy she has bequeathed: a family called the Order that commits unspeakable acts in search of immortality. For Gaspar, the son, this maniacal cult is his destiny. As the Order tries to pull him into their evil, he and his father take flight, attempting to outrun a powerful clan that will do anything to ensure its own survival. But how far will Gaspar’s father go to protect his child? And can anyone escape their fate? Moving back and forth in time, from London in the swinging 1960s to the brutal years of Argentina’s military dictatorship and its turbulent aftermath, Our Share of Night is a novel like no other: a family story, a ghost story, a story of the occult and the supernatural, a book about the complexities of love and longing with queer subplots and themes. This is the masterwork of one of Latin America’s most original novelists, “a mesmerizing writer,” says Dave Eggers, “who demands to be read.” Review “An ailing medium who can connect with the dead tries to protect his son from an insatiable darkness. . . . Monumental.”-The New York Times “A dark vampiric noir that heralds a new era in South American horror.”-Literary Hub “A legendary Latine horror reminiscent of The Shining.”-BuzzFeed “[A] stirring, speculative epic . . .”-Oprah Daily “With this [novel], Enriquez has added an indelible and terrifying corner to our reality.”-Bookforum “Wicked, wise, and stuffed with supernatural intrigue, Our Share of Night is a mighty feat of creative prowess.”-Elle “[Our Share of Night] blends the sweep and politics of Namwali Serpell’s The Old Drift with the dystopian dread of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road.”-Oprah Quarterly “A haunting generational horror story.”-Silvia Moreno-Garcia “Our Share of Night . . . artfully employing the vocabulary of supernatural horror as the one voice capable of articulating Argentina’s unspeakable history. With realism in its magic and magic in its realism, this is a magnificent accomplishment and a genuine work of power.”-Alan Moore, author of Watchmen and V for Vendetta “Reader, beware! Our Share of Night is a novel so disquieting, so unsettling that I could neither put it down nor read it late at night. Mariana Enriquez’s short stories had already made me a fan for life-her novel is going to haunt me for the rest of my life.”-Kelly Link, author of White Cat, Black Dog and Get in Trouble, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize “A singular, soul-rattling novel with urgent moral questions about greed, injustice, and inheritance at its core . . . I’ve never read anything like it, and I’ll never forget my time in Enriquez’s mesmerizing world.”-Jessamine Chan, New York Times bestselling author of The School for Good Mothers “I was positively bewitched by Our Share of Night.

    -Titulo Original : Mercury Pictures Presents A Novel-Fabricante : Hogarth-Descripcion Original: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Winner of the David J. Langum, Sr. Prize in American Historical Fiction * The epic tale of a brilliant woman who must reinvent herself to survive, moving from Mussolini’s Italy to 1940s Los Angeles-a timeless story of love, deceit, and sacrifice from the award-winning author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena “A genuinely moving and life-affirming novel that’s a true joy to read.”-Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere “A gorgeous book . . . sublime.”-The New York Times (Editors’ Choice) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Guardian, Booklist Like many before her, Maria Lagana has come to Hollywood to outrun her past. Born in Rome, where every Sunday her father took her to the cinema instead of church, Maria immigrates with her mother to Los Angeles after a childhood transgression leads to her father’s arrest. Fifteen years later, on the eve of America’s entry into World War II, Maria is an associate producer at Mercury Pictures, trying to keep her personal and professional lives from falling apart. Her mother won’t speak to her. Her boss, a man of many toupees, has been summoned to Washington by congressional investigators. Her boyfriend, a virtuoso Chinese American actor, can’t escape the studio’s narrow typecasting. And the studio itself, Maria’s only home in exile, teeters on the verge of bankruptcy. Over the coming months, as the bright lights go dark across Los Angeles, Mercury Pictures becomes a nexus of European emigres: modernist poets trying their luck as B-movie screenwriters, once-celebrated architects becoming scale-model miniaturists, and refugee actors finding work playing the very villains they fled. While the world descends into war, Maria rises through a maze of conflicting politics, divided loyalties, and jockeying ambitions. But when the arrival of a stranger from her father’s past threatens Maria’s carefully constructed facade, she must finally confront her father’s fate-and her own. Written with intelligence, wit, and an exhilarating sense of possibility, Mercury Pictures Presents spans many moods and tones, from the heartbreaking to the ecstatic. It is a love letter to life’s bit players, a panorama of an era that casts a long shadow over our own, and a tour de force by a novelist whose work The Washington Post calls “a flash in the heavens that makes you look up and believe in miracles....

    -Titulo Original : Blaze Me A Sun A Novel About A Crime-Fabricante : Hogarth-Descripcion Original: #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER *NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE *In “the first great crime novel of 2023” (The New York Times Book Review), a serial killer in a small Swedish town commits his first murder the same night the prime minister is assassinated-a “thrilling and profoundly poignant” (Angie Kim) novel by one of the country’s top criminologists, hailed as “the finest crime writer we have in Sweden” (David Lagercrantz, author of The Girl in the Spider’s Web and other novels in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Series) “Christoffer Carlsson is to the police procedural what Cormac McCarthy is to the Western.”-Anthony Marra, author of Mercury Pictures Presents and A Constellation of Vital Phenomena In February 1986, the Halland police receive a call from a man who claims to have attacked his first victim. I’m going to do it again, he says before the line cuts off. By the time police officer Sven Jorgensson reaches the crime scene, the woman is taking her last breath. For Sven, this will prove a decisive moment. On the same night, Sweden plunges into a state of shock after the murder of the prime minister. Could there possibly be a connection? As Sven becomes obsessed with the case, two more fall victim. For years, Sven remains haunted by the murders he cannot solve, fearing the killer will strike again. Having failed to catch him, Sven retires from the police, passing his obsession to his son, who has joined the force to be closer to his father. Decades later, the case unexpectedly resurfaces when a novelist returns home to Halland amid a failed marriage and a sputtering career. The writer befriends the retired police officer, who helps the novelist-our narrator-unspool the many strands of this engrossing tale about a community confronting its shames and legacies. A #1 bestseller in Sweden, Blaze Me a Sun marks the American debut of the youngest winner of the Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year award, the top prize for Swedish crime writers whose past winners include Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell. Review “The first great crime novel of 2023 is Blaze Me a Sun by the decorated Swedish crime writer Chrisoffer Carlsson, who twines together national and personal trauma to devastating effect...Capably translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles, [Blaze Me a Sun] contains deep pleasures and thrilling surprises. What I most loved is how Carlsson plumbs what can and cannot be known about human lives and criminal investigations. He understands how familial love can blind people to difficult truths, and how closure often never happens.”-New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) “Part police procedural, part cold case and part sociological study, Blaze Me a Sun cements Christoffer Carlsson as one of Sweden’s new crime fiction stars…[and] is further proof that he is a worthy heir to titans such as Henning Mankell, Stieg Larsson and Hakan Nesser.”-Bookpage “A brainy page-turner from a rising star in Scandinavian crime fiction.”-Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “[An] audacious mix of procedural and psychological thriller.”-Booklist “Carlsson is to the police procedural what Cormac McCarthy is to the Western…If you read crime fiction, you’ll find yourself gripped by the ingenious plotting…If you read literary fiction, you’ll find yourself moved by the gorgeous writing…If…you read both…Blaze Me a Sun is the perfect novel.”-Anthony Marra “Thrilling and profoundly poignant, Blaze Me a Sun thrums with a relentless tension that culminates in one of the most satisfying and devastating endings I’ve read in a long time.”-Angie Kim “A Russian doll of a mystery…you think you know where this book is going. You don’t. Carlsson’s American debut is a wonder.”-Joseph Finder “Blaze Me a Sun is at once a crime novel and a gripping study in how we struggle to understand our own lives.”-Flynn Berry “A gripping, powerful story about an obsessive quest for truth.”-Chris Pavone “Carlsson is the finest crime writer we have in Sweden....

    Book : The Midcoast A Novel - White, Adam

    -Titulo Original : The Midcoast A Novel-Fabricante : Hogarth-Descripcion Original: NATIONAL BESTSELLER * “Propulsive . . . An absorbing look at small-town Maine and the thwarted dreams of a family trying to transcend it.”-Lee Cole, The New York Times (Editors’ Choice) “I tore through the saga of the Thatch family in two nights. The Midcoast is a reader’s dream-tense, ominous, and deeply wise.”-David Benioff, co-creator of Game of Thrones It’s spring in the tiny town of Damariscotta, a tourist haven on the coast of Maine known for its oysters and antiques. Andrew, a high school English teacher recently returned to the area, has brought his family to Ed and Steph Thatch’s sprawling riverside estate to attend a reception for the Amherst women’s lacrosse team. Back when they were all teenagers, Andrew never could have predicted that Ed, descended from a long line of lobstermen, or Steph, a decent student until she dropped out to start a family, would ever send a daughter to a place like Amherst. But so the tides have turned, and Andrew’s trying hard to admire, more than envy, the view from Ed’s rolling backyard meadow. As Andrew wanders through the Thatches’ house, he stumbles upon a file he’s not supposed to see: photos of a torched body in a burned-out sedan. And when a line of state police cruisers crashes the Thatches’ reception an hour later, Andrew and his neighbors finally begin to see the truth behind Ed and Steph’s remarkable rise. Soon the newspapers are running headlines about the Thatches, and Andrew’s poring over his memories, trying to piece together the story of a family he thought he knew. A propulsive drama that cares as deeply about its characters as it does about the crimes they commit, The Midcoast explores the machinations of privilege, the dark recesses of the American dream, and the lies we tell as we try, at all costs, to protect the ones we love. Review “Looking for an addictive summer read? This crime drama embedded in a moving portrait of two Maine families marks the debut of a genius storyteller.”-People (Book of the Week) “A propulsive crime saga . . . An absorbing look at small-town Maine and the thwarted dreams of a family trying to transcend it.”-Lee Cole, The New York Times “One of the most anticipated novels of the year.”-Town & Country “Home is atmosphere, description, trees, and coastline, but it’s also solidity and safety, a sense of knowing and understanding a place. The Midcoast suggests that home is also other people-the ones we love, but also the ones we envy.”-Maine magazine “In deft, knowing, and crystalline prose, Adam White writes, in essence, the novel about the Maine coast, a winsome, perplexing, and ultimately shadowy place that doesn’t give up its big secrets easily.”-Richard Ford “The Midcoast is a suspenseful, funny, and chilling uncovering of small-town secrets within a propulsive family drama. . . . A perfect summer read about a perfect vacation haven.”-Angie Kim, author of Miracle Creek “Vividly drawn and movingly told, The Midcoast is a searching, honest, and evocative portrait of human relationships, hometown secrets, and the hidden machinations of privilege. Adam White’s debut enthralls, a modern classic from a bold and insightful new voice in fiction.”-Alexandra Kleeman, author of Something New Under the Sun “The Midcoast is a brilliant, ferocious debut novel about ambition, class, and crime in coastal Maine, simultaneously propulsive and nuanced. Adam White brings his powerful gifts to bear on a story that speaks directly to our troubled moment with eloquence and heart. After this, Vacationland will never look the same.”-Andrew Martin, author of Early Work “The Midcoast is an insanely good novel, compulsively readable, with a growing feeling of menace and catastrophe that becomes almost unbearable. Elegantly written, with vivid characters and an intricately realized setting, this is a stunning debut from a writer we will certainly hear from again. I highly recommend this book.”-Douglas Preston, #1 bestselling author of...

My parents started using that word about a year ago-“one day, you’ll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.” Javier Zamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks. At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that await him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family. A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home. Review An Amazon Best Book of September 2022:Javier is a precocious 9-year-old, the valedictorian of his class, being raised by his aunt and grandparents in El Salvador-preparing to make a harrowing 3,000-mile journey alone to America to reunite with his parents. With a black backpack and a change of clothes, his grandpa leaves him with a “coyote” who promises the trip will take two weeks. That’s not what happens. Javier grew up to be a poet, as the cinematic writing makes clear. Readers are in the desert with him, thirsting for water, dodging cacti, rooting for the group through injury, separation, raids. Javier experiences childlike wonder at the perilous “adventure,” wrenching bravado (my heart shattered when he declared, “I don’t want anyone to think I’m a little kid”), and raw honesty. At one point while reading, I looked at the clock, noted it was after midnight, and yet kept turning pages. You can’t look away, and that’s the point: This is Javier’s story, and that of so many people who risk everything at the chance of a better life. -Lindsay Powers, Amazon Editor Review “A gripping memoir… Solito is special for many reasons, but the main one is Zamora’s voice and the energy of his vivid retelling of his journey . . . And that makes it required reading.”-Gabino Iglesias, NPR “Zamora . . . recounts in absorbing detail the dangerous, weekslong journey he took from El Salvador to reunite with his parents in the United States when he was just 9.”-The New York Times (One of September’s Most Anticipated Books) “The magic of this book lies not only in the beguiling voice of young Javier, or the harrowing journey and immense bravery of the migrants, or in the built-in hero’s journey of this narrative. It’s hard to reconcile the fact that this book hasn’t always been with us. How can something so essential and fundamental to the American story not already be part of our canon?”-San Francisco Chronicle “An important, beautiful work.”-The New York Times Book Review “A monumental accomplishment.”-Oprah Daily “Crafted with stunning intimacy…you’ll feel so close to the boy [Zamora] was then that you’ll think about him long after the book is done.

Populated by unruly teenagers, crooked witches, homeless ghosts, and hungry women, they walk the uneasy line between urban realism and horror. The stories in her new collection are as terrifying as they are socially conscious, and press into being the unspoken-fetish, illness, the female body, the darkness of human history-with bracing urgency. A woman is sexually obsessed with the human heart; a lost, rotting baby crawls out of a backyard and into a bedroom; a pair of teenage girls can’t let go of their idol; an entire neighborhood is cursed to death when it fails to respond correctly to a moral dilemma. Written against the backdrop of contemporary Argentina, and with a resounding tenderness toward those in pain, in fear, and in limbo, The Dangers of Smoking in Bed is Mariana Enriquez at her most sophisticated, and most chilling. Review “Mariana Enriquez’s fiction is haunted by the specter of late-twentieth-century Latin American history. . . . Yet because the fiction is so alive, the experience of being in her world is enjoyable.”-Francine Prose, New York Review of Books“Stories of spirits and disappearances collectively address the mystery of loss through narratives that are as gripping as they are chilling.”-Chicago Review of Books“Enriquez’s gaze throughout the collection is unflinching, taking readers into dark and grotesque territory, yet it is her morality, a pervasive sense of right and wrong, that anchors each story and prevents the collection from veering into the lurid horror of tabloid tragedy.”-Ploughshares“Like her Chilean neighbor, the late Roberto Bolaño, Mariana Enriquez crafts fiction about the darkest recesses of the human heart that makes you feel light after reading it-uplifted by the precision and poetry of her characters’ voices.”-The A.V. Club “Argentina’s Samanta Schweblin, Chile’s Paulina Flores, and Brazil’s Carola Saavedra are a few who collapse the walls between the real and the imagined. Now, Argentine writer Mariana Enriquez joins their ranks with a ravishing new story collection . . . The Dangers of Smoking in Bed establishes Enriquez as a premier literary voice. Enriquezs extraordinary-and extraordinarily ominous-fiction holds up a mirror to our bewildering times, when borders between the everyday and the inexplicable blur, and converge.”-O: The Oprah Magazine“Horrors are relayed in a stylish deadpan. . . . Enriquez’s plots deteriorate with satisfying celerity.”-The New York Times Book Review“[A] group of off-kilter tales enlivened by captivating unease. Every facet of her writing unsettles. . . . Enriquez, superbly translated by Megan McDowell, masterfully darts from disturbing to funny to repulsive without jarring the reader’s momentum-or, rather, the disturbance is built into the momentum.”-Tasteful Rude “An atmospheric assemblage of cunning and cutting Argentine gothic tales . . . insidiously absorbing, like quicksand.”-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Enriquez’s wide-ranging imagination and ravenous appetite for morbid scenarios often reaches sublime heights. Adventurous readers will be rewarded in these trips into the macabre.”-Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Enriquez[s] . . . straightforward delivery and matter-of-fact tone that belie the wild, gasp-worthy action ...

And he never will be. But if he isnt a real Avery, then who is he? Born out of wedlock to a teenage girl cast out from her rural Irish community and adopted by a well-to-do if eccentric Dublin couple via the intervention of a hunchbacked Redemptorist nun, Cyril is adrift in the world, anchored only tenuously by his heartfelt friendship with the infinitely more glamourous and dangerous Julian Woodbead. At the mercy of fortune and coincidence, he will spend a lifetime coming to know himself and where he came from - and over his many years, will struggle to discover an identity, a home, a country, and much more.

Review Praise for The Hearts Invisible Furies: Finalist for the 2018 LAMBDA Literary AwardsFinalist for the 2018 Ferro-Grumley Award for LGBTQ Fiction “By turns whimsical and heartbreaking, Boyne’s sprawling novel treads Dickensian territory across seven decades of Irish history, ending with a redemption for both a country and a native son.” - People Bleak, bittersweet, and Irish to the bone... explore[s] the relationship between Catholicism and patriarchy in midcentury Ireland and beyond. - O, The Oprah Magazine “A picaresque, lolloping odyssey for the individual characters and for the nation that confines them…The book blazes with anger as it commemorates lives wrecked by social contempt and self loathing…. a substantial achievement.” - The Guardian With intricate narrative precision, The Heart’s Invisible Furies cuts to the heart of what family is, how it is chosen, and how it endures. And it is charming and funny, even as it dives down from the precipice of endearing humor into the very specific ironies and cruelties of real life…. characters are cinematically rendered, with a deft, decadent wit that will make you laugh aloud at least once. Searing heartbreak; loneliness; a quest for internal and external redemption, solace, and contentment are all there in The Heart’s Invisible Furies. - The Millions “This is nothing less than the story of Ireland over the past 70 years, expressed in the life of one man…highly entertaining and often very funny…Big and clever.” - The Times Sunday Review “An epic full of verve, humour and heart… sure to be read by the bucketload… deeply cinematic [and] extremely funny.” - The Irish Times Boyne writes scenes that will make a reader laugh and cry-without saccharine sentiment or flippancy. Infused with heart and humor, as well as a keen sense of man’s capacity for cruelty, The Heart’s Invisible Furies pulsates with life’s complexity and progress’ slow march.” - Paste A big, sweeping novel...Cyril’s intelligent, witty voice takes us all the way through to the end of his life. The Heart’s Invisible Furies is a brilliant, moving history of an Irishman, and of modern Ireland itself.” - Minneapolis Star Tribune “The most inviting and completely spellbinding book this author has ever written...an outstandingly memorable achievement.” - Christian Science Monitor “This in-depth look at the life of one adopted man in post-war Ireland will make you laugh, weep, and live-tweet at two in the morning.” - Brit Co “More than a coming-of-age story, The Heart’s Invisible Furies is one man’s journey from persec...

But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself.    Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her...

    Book : Normal People A Novel - Rooney, Sally

    -Titulo Original : Normal People: A Novel-Fabricante : Hogarth-Descripcion Original:  BESTSELLER • “A stunning novel about the transformative power of relationships” () from the author of  “a master of the literary page-turner” (J. Courtney Sullivan).    The New York Public Library,  ,    NPR,  Connell and Marianne grew up in the same small town, but the similarities end there. At school, Connell is popular and well liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation—awkward but electrifying—something life changing begins. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other. Normal People is the story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find that they can’t.   “[A] novel that demands to be read compulsively, in one sitting.” “Arguably the buzziest novel of the season, Sally Rooney’s elegant sophomore effort . . . is a worthy successor to Conversations with Friends. Here, again, she unflinchingly explores class dynamics and young love with wit and nuance.” “[Rooney] has been hailed as the first great millennial novelist for her stories of love and late capitalism. . . . [She writes] some of the best dialogue I’ve read.”...
