Abstract: INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER A beautiful tale of hope, courage, and sisterhood-inspired by the real House of Mercy and the girls confined there for daring to break the rules. Growing up in New York City in the 1910s, Luella and Effie Tildon realize that even as wealthy young women, their freedoms come with limits. But when the sisters discover a shocking secret about their father, Luella, the brazen elder sister, becomes emboldened to do as she pleases. Her rebellion comes with consequences, and one morning Luella is mysteriously gone. Effie suspects her father has sent Luella to the House of Mercy and hatches a plan to get herself committed to save her sister. But she made a miscalculation, and with no one to believe her story, Effie's own escape seems impossible-unless she can trust an enigmatic girl named Mable. As their fates entwine, Mable and Effie must rely on their tenuous friendship to survive. Home for Unwanted Girls meets The Dollhouse in this atmospheric, heartwarming story that explores not only the historical House of Mercy, but the lives-and secrets-of the girls who stayed there. "Burdick has spun a cautionary tale of struggle and survival, love and family - and above all, the strength of the heart, no matter how broken." - New York Times Book Review "Burdick reveals the perils of being a woman in 1913 and exposes the truths of their varying social circles." - Chicago Tribune

A summer rental, a new beginning.. Hannah Russell's carefully crafted plans for her life have been upended without warning. When her best friend died suddenly, Hannah became guardian to a five-year-old named Noah. With no experience at motherhood, she's terrified she's not up to the challenge. She and Noah need time to get to know each other, so she decides to rent a country house with stunning views on a lake in rural Colorado. When they arrive at the house, they are greeted by the owner, a handsome man who promises to stay out of their way. But his clumsy Great Dane, Romeo, has other ideas and Noah immediately bonds with the lovable dog. As Hannah learns to become a mother, Owen Abrams, who is recovering from his own grief, can't help but be drawn out of his solitude by his guests. But life throws more challenges at this unlikely trio and they are tested in ways they never thought possible. All three will discover their strengths and, despite their differences, they will fight to become a family. And the people of Sullivan's Crossing will rally around them to offer all of the support they need.

Abstract: Perfect for fans of Laura Ruby, Laurie Halse Anderson, and Mindy McGinnis, Kyrie McCauley’s stunning YA debut is a powerful story about the haunting specter of domestic violence and the rebellious forces of sisterhood and first love. Winner of the William C. Morris Award! Tens of thousands of crows invading Auburn, Pennsylvania, is a problem for everyone in town except seventeen-year-old Leighton Barnes. For Leighton, it’s no stranger than her house, which inexplicably repairs itself every time her father loses his temper and breaks things. Leighton doesn’t have time for the crowsâ€"it’s her senior year, and acceptance to her dream college is finally within reach. But grabbing that lifeline means abandoning her sisters, a choice she’s not ready to face. With her father’s rage worsening and the town in chaos over the crows, Leighton allows herself a chance at happiness with Liam, her charming classmate, even though falling in love feels like a revolutionary act. Balancing school, dating, and survival under the shadow of sixty thousand feathered wings starts to feel almost comfortable, but Leighton knows that this fragile equilibrium can only last so long before it shatters.

Abstract: WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WASHINGTON POST, AMAZON, NPR, CBS SUNDAY MORNING, KIRKUS, CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY, AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING BEST BOOK OF 2020 Based on the extraordinary life of National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich’s grandfather who worked as a night watchman and carried the fight against Native dispossession from rural North Dakota all the way to Washington, D.C., this powerful novel explores themes of love and death with lightness and gravity and unfolds with the elegant prose, sly humor, and depth of feeling of a master craftsman. Thomas Wazhashk is the night watchman at the jewel bearing plant, the first factory located near the Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural North Dakota. He is also a Chippewa Council member who is trying to understand the consequences of a new “emancipation" bill on its way to the floor of the United States Congress. It is 1953 and he and the other council members know the bill isn’t about freedom; Congress is fed up with Indians. The bill is a “termination" that threatens the rights of Native Americans to their land and their very identity. How can the government abandon treaties made in good faith with Native Americans “for as long as the grasses shall grow, and the rivers run"? Since graduating high school, Pixie Paranteau has insisted that everyone call her Patrice. Unlike most of the girls on the reservation, Patrice, the class valedictorian, has no desire to wear herself down with a husband and kids. She makes jewel bearings at the plant, a job that barely pays her enough to support her mother and brother. Patrice’s shameful alcoholic father returns home sporadically to terrorize his wife and children and bully her for money. But Patrice needs every penny to follow her beloved older sister, Vera, who moved to the big city of Minneapolis. Vera may have disappeared; she hasn’t been in touch in months, and is rumored to have had a baby. Determined to find Vera and her child, Patrice makes a fateful trip to Minnesota that introduces her to unexpected forms of exploitation and violence, and endangers her life. Thomas and Patrice live in this impoverished reservation community along with young Chippewa boxer Wood Mountain and his mother Juggie Blue, her niece and Patrice’s best friend Valentine, and Stack Barnes, the white high school math teacher and boxing coach who is hopelessly in love with Patrice. In the Night Watchman, Louise Erdrich creates a fictional world populated with memorable characters who are forced to grapple with the worst and best impulses of human nature. Illuminating the loves and lives, the desires and ambitions of these characters with compassion, wit, and intelligence, The Night Watchman is a majestic work of fiction from this revered cultural treasure.

Abstract: Un poliziesco venato di comicità, narrato in uno stile che alla compattezza del genere unisce le colorite sfumature idiomatiche di una terra di confine e plurilingue, dove emergono, in tutta la loro peculiarità, tratti psicologici e sociali divertenti e inquietanti al tempo stesso. Anni novanta. Nell’estremo nord dell’Alto Adige un’esplosione nel cantiere di una galleria fa emergere dalle macerie il cadavere di un uomo in abito elegante e con una misteriosa ventiquattrore. Chi è? Com’è finito lì? Ha forse a che fare con quell’“opera capitale”, tanto discussa e mai realizzata, che è il tunnel di base del Brennero? Se lo chiede il camionista Tschonnie Tschenett, noto ficcanaso e bevitore impenitente, rientrato da qualche tempo nella sua terra d’origine. A corto di incarichi di trasporto, Tschenett chiede supporto all’amico poliziotto Totò per indagare privatamente sul caso, imbattendosi in tipi loschi, contadini falliti, biechi speculatori collusi con i palazzi del potere e un’irresistibile petrografa dai capelli rossi.

Abstract: Era estate, quando iniziammo di nuovo a volare alto e lontano con il pensiero, oltre i confini, verso l’Europa. Era la prima estate dell’Europa, e anche la più lunga. «Un testo di assoluta rilevanza. Un compito riuscito» Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Su un treno diretto in Germania, poco prima della frontiera del Brennero, salgono sei giovani stranieri, apparentemente tranquilli, molto assonnati. A poca distanza da loro è seduta una donna, una cittadina italiana sui generis che vive a Berlino. Ha in comune con quei ragazzi un destino di migrazione, una piccola Odissea che segue però un tragitto diverso, corre su altri binari, ha una destinazione certa. È l’estate 2015. L’immagine-simbolo di un corpicino senza vita, che le onde del mare hanno riversato su una spiaggia, apre gli occhi al Vecchio Continente sulla condizione dei rifugiati, mettendo in moto un’inedita catena di solidarietà e una prima, vera presa di coscienza collettiva circa i fondamenti politici e giuridici dell’Europa unita. Quello «spazio di libertà, sicurezza e giustizia», come recita il Regolamento di Dublino, è destinato tuttavia a rimanere un’illusione di breve durata. Che si ripropone, in tutta la sua nobile evanescenza, cinque anni dopo, in occasione di un nuovo, drammatico punto zero chiamato Coronavirus. Ricostruendo la propria singolare vicenda di sudtirolese emigrata in Germania, Maxi Obexer si interroga sul significato di parole quali “integrazione” e “appartenenza” alla luce di un’esperienza in perenne bilico tra lingue, culture e sensibilità differenti. Racconta storie di migranti, di fortezze erette e muri crollati, dell’arbitrarietà e delle contraddizioni che regolano le sorti di chi fugge – o semplicemente va in cerca di un futuro altrove – e di chi invece si difende. A metà tra romanzo autobiografico e pamphlet, La prima estate dell’Europa è un viaggio intimo e sofferto dentro il concetto stesso di identità. (www.edizionialphabeta.it)

Abstract: «Sono storie del tempo prima del tempo, e di un luogo prima del luogo cui danno il nome. Raccontano l’immutabile trama di cui sono fatte tutte le storie: raccontano del divenire e dello svanire, della terra, dell’acqua, del vento e del fuoco.» Fin dalla sua infanzia Anita Pichler era a conoscenza delle storie che circondano il leggendario regno dei Fanis. Si tratta di racconti legati geograficamente all’altipiano di Fanis nelle Dolomiti e inseriti nella tradizione narrativa ladina, che tuttavia ne conserva solo frammenti. Di queste storie Anita Pichler ci racconta, a modo suo, una nuova versione. Dopo aver passato un intero inverno alla scrivania, insieme alla studiosa di leggende Ulrike Kindl, ad analizzare tutte le fonti scritte relative alle saghe dolomitiche e a portare alla luce, strato dopo strato, strutture testuali sempre più antiche, alla fine individuò le tredici figure che compongono le “Donne di Fanis”. Non appena in primavera i sentieri furono di nuovo percorribili, Anita e Ulrike si misero in cammino per esplorarne insieme il territorio. Le scoperte derivanti dal loro comune lavoro spiegano l’origine delle leggende e ci mostrano i diversi volti assunti dalle donne di Fanis nel corso della tradizione, manifestando in tal modo quanto notevole possa essere l’interazione tra letteratura e scienza.
