Uma carta de amor à Síria e seu povo, Enquanto houver limoeiros é um romance ambientado na Revolução Síria que queima com o fogo da esperança, do amor e das possibilidades. Salama Kassab era estudante de farmácia quando os gritos pela liberdade irromperam na Síria. Ela ainda tinha os pais e o irmão mais velho. Ela ainda tinha um lar e uma vida normal de jovem. Agora, Salama é voluntária em um hospital em Homs, ajudando os feridos que chegam sem parar. Secretamente, porém, está desesperada para encontrar um jeito de sair de seu país adorado antes que sua cunhada, Layla, dê à luz. Tão desesperada que manifestou a personificação de seu medo na forma de Khawf, uma entidade que a acompanha a cada movimento no esforço de mantê-la segura. Mas, mesmo com Khawf pressionando-a para deixar a Síria, Salama está dividida entre a lealdade ao seu país e o impulso de sobreviver. Ela terá que enfrentar tiros e bombas, ataques militares e seu próprio senso de moralidade antes de finalmente respirar em liberdade. E, quando o caminho dela cruza com o de Kenan — um garoto que ela deveria ter conhecido em uma ocasião bem diferente —, Salama começa a questionar a decisão de deixar o país. Antes que seja tarde, Salama deverá aprender a enxergar os eventos ao seu redor como eles realmente são — não uma guerra, mas uma revolução — e decidir como gritar pela liberdade da Síria. "Uma história pungente sobre guerra, perda, família e amor, sobre buscar a graça na loucura e a esperança na tragédia. Enquanto houver limoeiros é uma narrativa fenomenal, um olhar penetrante sobre a Síria que já foi e a Síria que é hoje. Uma leitura absolutamente obrigatória." — Sabaa Tahir, autora de Uma chama entre as cinzas e Toda a minha ira "A prosa lírica de Katouh, combinada com um retrato comovente do primeiro amor, aborda de maneira implacável os custos da revolução e a força necessária para lutar por suas crenças." — Publishers Weekly "Katouh escreveu este livro para lançar luz sobre as agruras que o povo sírio enfrenta ainda hoje, uma década após o início da revolução, e, ao fazer isso, criou uma história de amor iluminada, com uma orgulhosa muçulmana como protagonista. [...] Um livro obrigatório para jovens e adultos de todos os lugares." — The Bookseller "Momentos angustiantes são justapostos a memórias dolorosamente belas de tempos pacíficos. Os leitores vão apreciar as muitas frases primorosas deste romance memorável, que homenageia as histórias de inúmeros sírios." — Kirkus Reviews "Com maestria, Katouh tece muitos fios para formar uma trama crua, repleta de nuances e profundamente humana, que fará você pensar, ser arrebatado e se preparar para o impacto. Enquanto houver limoeiros deveria estar no topo da sua lista de leituras." — YA Books Central

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A TODAY SHOW #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK! • Finalist for the WOMEN'S PRIZE Yaa Gyasi's stunning follow-up to her acclaimed national best seller Homegoing is a powerful, raw, intimate, deeply layered novel about a Ghanaian family in Alabama. Gifty is a sixth-year PhD candidate in neuroscience at the Stanford University School of Medicine studying reward-seeking behavior in mice and the neural circuits of depression and addiction. Her brother, Nana, was a gifted high school athlete who died of a heroin overdose after an ankle injury left him hooked on OxyContin. Her suicidal mother is living in her bed. Gifty is determined to discover the scientific basis for the suffering she sees all around her. But even as she turns to the hard sciences to unlock the mystery of her family's loss, she finds herself hungering for her childhood faith and grappling with the evangelical church in which she was raised, whose promise of salvation remains as tantalizing as it is elusive. Transcendent Kingdom is a deeply moving portrait of a family of Ghanaian immigrants ravaged by depression and addiction and grief—a novel about faith, science, religion, love. Exquisitely written, emotionally searing, this is an exceptionally powerful follow-up to Gyasi's phenomenal debut.

"Ingenious, consistently taut and witty" TLS Strange, elliptical, charming" Guardian Set in contemporary Angola, this novel is populated with characters whose victories never quite settle. Like any one of us, they can forget things that have happened to them, and remember things that never did. Theirs is a world where the truth seems to shift from moment to moment, where history itself is up for grabs. Agualusa's slippery narrator takes us on a vivid and enthralling journey across the shifting landscape of memory and history, and - from his unique perspective - reveals a breathtaking love story too.

Good guy Karl Bender is a thirty-something bar owner whose life lacks love and meaning. When he stumbles upon a time-travelling worm hole in his closet, Karl and his best friend Wayne develop a side business selling access to people who want to travel back in time to listen to their favorite bands. It's a pretty ingenious plan, until Karl, intending to send Wayne to 1980, transports him back to 980 instead. Though Wayne sends texts extolling the quality of life in tenth century "Mannahatta," Karl is distraught that he can't bring his friend back. Enter brilliant, prickly, overweight astrophysicist, Lena Geduldig. Karl and Lena's connection is immediate. While they work on getting Wayne back, Karl and Lena fall in love -- with time travel, and each other. Unable to resist meddling with the past, Karl and Lena bounce around time. When Lena ultimately prevents her own long-ago rape, she alters the course of her life and threatens her future with Karl. A high-spirited and engaging novel, EVERY ANXIOUS WAVE plays ball with the big questions of where we would go and who we would become if we could rewrite our pasts, as well as how to hold on to love across time.

Umberto Eco published his first novel, The Name of the Rose, in 1980, when he was nearly fifty. In these “confessions,” the author, now in his late seventies, looks back on his long career as a theorist and his more recent work as a novelist, and explores their fruitful conjunction. He begins by exploring the boundary between fiction and nonfiction—playfully, seriously, brilliantly roaming across this frontier. Good nonfiction, he believes, is crafted like a whodunnit, and a skilled novelist builds precisely detailed worlds through observation and research. Taking us on a tour of his own creative method, Eco recalls how he designed his fictional realms. He began with specific images, made choices of period, location, and voice, composed stories that would appeal to both sophisticated and popular readers. The blending of the real and the fictive extends to the inhabitants of such invented worlds. Why are we moved to tears by a character’s plight? In what sense do Anna Karenina, Gregor Samsa, and Leopold Bloom “exist”? At once a medievalist, philosopher, and scholar of modern literature, Eco astonishes above all when he considers the pleasures of enumeration. He shows that the humble list, the potentially endless series, enables us to glimpse the infinite and approach the ineffable. This “young novelist” is a master who has wise things to impart about the art of fiction and the power of words.

“Polaris Rising is space opera at its best, intense and addictive, a story of honor, courage, betrayal, and love. Jessie Mihalik is an author to watch.”--Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author A space princess on the run and a notorious outlaw soldier become unlikely allies in this imaginative, sexy space opera adventure—the first in an exciting science fiction trilogy. In the far distant future, the universe is officially ruled by the Royal Consortium, but the High Councillors, the heads of the three High Houses, wield the true power. As the fifth of six children, Ada von Hasenberg has no authority; her only value to her High House is as a pawn in a political marriage. When her father arranges for her to wed a noble from House Rockhurst, a man she neither wants nor loves, Ada seizes control of her own destiny. The spirited princess flees before the betrothal ceremony and disappears among the stars. Ada eluded her father’s forces for two years, but now her luck has run out. To ensure she cannot escape again, the fiery princess is thrown into a prison cell with Marcus Loch. Known as the Devil of Fornax Zero, Loch is rumored to have killed his entire chain of command during the Fornax Rebellion, and the Consortium wants his head. When the ship returning them to Earth is attacked by a battle cruiser from rival House Rockhurst, Ada realizes that if her jilted fiancé captures her, she’ll become a political prisoner and a liability to her House. Her only hope is to strike a deal with the dangerous fugitive: a fortune if he helps her escape. But when you make a deal with an irresistibly attractive Devil, you may lose more than you bargained for . . .
