In De ondergrondse leesclub van Annie Lyons organiseren boekverkoopster Gertie en de vijftienjarige Joodse Hedy een leesclub om even aan de gruwelen van de Tweede Wereldoorlog te kunnen ontsnappen. De aangrijpende roman De ondergrondse leesclub van Annie Lyons speelt zich af in Londen, 1938. Gertie Bingham heeft een boekhandel, maar het is niet meer hetzelfde sinds haar man Harry is overleden. Ze denkt erover om met pensioen te gaan en met haar labrador naar zee te verhuizen. Maar dan haalt een vriend haar over om de vijftienjarige Joodse Hedy in huis te nemen, die nazi-Duitsland is ontvlucht. Hedy is koppig en eigenwijs en doet Gertie denken aan zichzelf op die leeftijd. Dankzij haar beseft Gertie dat mensen als zij, én de boekwinkel, onmisbaar zijn in deze donkere tijd. Als Londen keer op keer wordt gebombardeerd, besluiten Hedy en Gertie een ondergrondse leesclub te beginnen in de schuilkelders. Terwijl de oorlog doorraast krijgen ze grote verliezen te verwerken, en hebben de leden elkaar en de verhalen die ze lezen hard nodig... Warm en ontroerend, met personages die je onmiddellijk in je hart sluit: De ondergrondse leesclub van Annie Lyons laat zien hoe verhalen troost en ontsnapping kunnen bieden in een pikdonkere wereld. Voor fans van The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. ‘De ondergrondse leesclub is een juweel van een boek!’ – The Sunday Times

A mesmerizing novel of two love stories, separated by half a century but connected by one enchanting act of devotion—from the internationally acclaimed Israeli writer Meir Shalev. During the 1948 War of Independence—a time when pigeons are still used to deliver battlefield messages—a gifted young pigeon handler is mortally wounded. In the moments before his death, he dispatches one last pigeon. The bird is carrying his extraordinary gift to the girl he has loved since adolescence. Intertwined with this story is the contemporary tale of Yair Mendelsohn, who has his own legacy from the 1948 war. Yair is a tour guide specializing in bird-watching trips who, in middle age, falls in love again with a childhood girlfriend. His growing passion for her, along with a gift from his mother on her deathbed, becomes the key to a life he thought no longer possible. Unforgettable in both its particulars and its sweep, A Pigeon and A Boy is a tale of lovers then and now—of how deeply we love, of what home is, and why we, like pigeons trained to fly in one direction only, must eventually return to it. In a voice that is at once playful, wise, and altogether beguiling, Meir Shalev tells a story as universal as war and as intimate as a winged declaration of love.

Verticality, architectural and social, is at the heart of Colson Whitehead's first novel that takes place in an unnamed high-rise city that combines twenty-first-century engineering feats with nineteenth-century pork-barrel politics. Elevators are the technological expression of the vertical ideal, and Lila Mae Watson, the city's first black female elevator inspector, is its embattled token of upward mobility.When Number Eleven of the newly completed Fanny Briggs Memorial Building goes into deadly free-fall just hours after Lila Mae has signed off on it, using the controversial 'Intuitionist' method of ascertaining elevator safety, both Intuitionists and Empiricists recognize the set-up, but may be willing to let Lila Mae take the fall in an election year. As Lila Mae strives to exonerate herself in this urgent adventure full of government spies, underworld hit men, and seductive double agents, behind the action, always, is the Idea. Lila Mae's quest is mysteriously entwined with existence of heretofore lost writings by James Fulton, father of Intuitionism, a giant of vertical thought. If she is able to find and reveal his plan for the perfect, next-generation elevator, the city as it now exists may instantly become obsolescent.

Istanbul is a city of a million cells, and every cell is an Istanbul unto itself. After a military coup, four prisoners – the doctor, Demirtay the student, Kamo the barber and Uncle Küheylan – sit below the ancient streets of Istanbul awaiting their turn at the hands of their wardens. Between violent interrogations, the condemned share parables and riddles about their beloved city to pass the time. From their retelling of stories, both real and imagined, emerges a picture of a city that is many things to many different people. Their fears and laughter show us that there is as much hope and suffering in the city above as there is in the cells below. Istanbul, Istanbul is a poignant and uplifting novel about the power of human imagination in the face of adversity. 'A profoundly moving story about the transformative power of words in times of desperation' Ece Temelkuran, author of The Insane and the Melancholy 'A harrowing, riveting novel, as unforgettable as it is inescapable.' Dale Peck, author of Visions and Revisions 'A wrenching love poem to Istanbul told between torture sessions by four prisoners in their cell beneath the city. An ode to pain in which Dostoevsky meets The Decameron.' John Ralston Saul, author of On Equilibrium; former president, PEN International 'Ten days, ten stories and ten chapters, like Boccaccio's Decameron ... This novel will, I predict, itself become a classic.' Rosie Goldsmith
