Une saga familiale ébouriffante qui nous fait vivre, sur près d'un siècle, l'histoire de l'immigration italienne en Amérique. Si Stella Fortuna veut dire "bonne étoile", alors la vie a un drôle de sens de l'humour. Car dans la famille Fortuna, tout le monde connaît l'histoire de la belle et insolente Stella, qui a refusé d'apprendre à cuisiner, a juré de ne jamais se marier, et a surtout échappé plus d'une fois à une mort certaine. Depuis son enfance en Calabre, dans les années 1920, jusqu'à sa vie de femme en Amérique, son existence a été ponctuée de situations banales qui, mystérieusement, ont tourné au cauchemar. Stella a quand même été attaquée par une aubergine et éviscérée par des cochons, elle a failli périr noyée dans l'Atlantique et s'est pratiquement vidée de son sang. Pures coïncidences, oeuvre d'un fantôme ivre de vengeance ou manifestations du mauvais oeil ? Une saga familiale ébouriffante, couvrant près d'un siècle et deux continents, où il est question de secrets, d'envoûtements et des liens du sang –; et qui accomplit ce qu'aucune leçon sur l'immigration en Amérique ne pourrait faire en donnant chair à une femme que le temps et l'Histoire auraient ignorée.

'You don't read this book, you live it' Erin Kelly 'Holds the reader under a spell from start to finish' O, the Oprah Magazine 'If you're going through Elena Ferrante withdrawals, this is the book for you' Harper's Bazaar If Stella Fortuna means 'lucky star,' then life must have a funny sense of humour. Everybody in the Fortuna family knows the story of how the beautiful, fiercely independent Stella, who refused to learn to cook and who swore she would never marry, has escaped death time and time again. From her childhood in Italy, to her adulthood in America, death has seemed to pursue Stella. She has been burned, eviscerated and bludgeoned; she has choked, nearly fallen out of a window, and on one occasion, her life was only saved by a typo. However, even the best-known stories still have secrets to reveal . . . and even after a century, Stella's is no exception. No woman survives seven or eight deaths without a reason. So, how did she? In a tale which spans nine decades, two continents, and one family's darkest, deepest-buried truths, the answer awaits. . . _______________________________________ 'Witty and deeply-felt' Entertainment Weekly 'A sweeping story of immigration, family, betrayal and most importantly, one extraordinary woman. This book is gorgeous, harrowing and magical' Julie Cohen 'Fresh and intriguing' Sabine Durrant 'This is wonderful storytelling, seamlessly capturing the love and horror at the heart of family. Juliet Grames's novel . . . sits the reader down at a well-laden table, and offers a hugely satisfying feast' Mick Herron 'Delightfully easy to get lost in' New York Times Book Review

From Calabria to Connecticut: a sweeping family saga about sisterhood, secrets, Italian immigration, the American dream, and one woman's tenacious fight against her own fate For Stella Fortuna, death has always been a part of life. Stella's childhood is full of strange, life-threatening incidents--moments where ordinary situations like cooking eggplant or feeding the pigs inexplicably take lethal turns. Even Stella's own mother is convinced that her daughter is cursed or haunted. In her rugged Italian village, Stella is considered an oddity--beautiful and smart, insolent and cold. Stella uses her peculiar toughness to protect her slower, plainer baby sister Tina from life's harshest realities. But she also provokes the ire of her father Antonio: a man who demands subservience from women and whose greatest gift to his family is his absence. When the Fortunas emigrate to America on the cusp of World War II, Stella and Tina must come of age side-by-side in a hostile new world with strict expectations for each of them. Soon Stella learns that her survival is worthless without the one thing her family will deny her at any cost: her independence. In present-day Connecticut, one family member tells this heartrending story, determined to understand the persisting rift between the now-elderly Stella and Tina. A richly told debut, The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna is a tale of family transgressions as ancient and twisted as the olive branch that could heal them. "Witty and deeply felt." --Entertainment Weekly (New and Notable) "The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna achieves what no sweeping history lesson about American immigrants could: It brings to life a woman that time and history would have ignored." --Washington Post

Eine große italienisch-amerikanische Familien-Saga und das Porträt einer außergewöhnlichen Frau: Für Stella Fortuna war der Tod schon immer ein Teil ihres Lebens. Ihre Kindheit ist geprägt von merkwürdigen Unfällen – Momenten, in denen alltägliche Situationen wie das Kochen von Auberginen oder das Füttern der Schweine beinahe tödliche Folgen haben. Sogar Stellas eigene Mutter ist überzeugt davon, dass ihre Tochter verflucht ist. In ihrem ärmlichen Dorf in Kalabrien gilt Stella als seltsam: ebenso schön und klug wie frech und abweisend. Ihre innere Kraft nützt sie vor allem, um ihre kleine Schwester Tina vor den Härten des Lebens zu schützen. Doch immer wieder provoziert Stella auch den Zorn ihres Vaters Antonio, eines Mannes, der von Frauen Unterwürfigkeit verlangt, und dessen größtes Geschenk an seine Familie seine Abwesenheit ist. Als die Fortunas vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg nach Amerika auswandern, hofft Stella auf eine neue Freiheit – und muss erfahren, dass ihre Familie, und allen voran ihre Schwester Tina, ihr eines um jeden Preis verweigern wird: ihre Unabhängigkeit. Im heutigen Amerika erzählt Stellas Enkelin die bewegende Geschichte ihrer Großmutter, die Geschichte eines Lebens zwischen Italien und den USA und den Kämpfen innerhalb einer Familie, die so alt sind wie die Zeit selbst. Mit »Die sieben oder acht Leben der Stella Fortuna« hat Juliet Grames, Verlagsleiterin bei Soho Press, einen großen Familien-Roman geschrieben, der zum Teil auf ihrer eigenen italienisch-amerikanischen Familiengeschichte beruht.

Для Стеллы Фортуны смерть всегда была частью жизни. Ее детство полно странных и опасных инцидентов – такие банальные вещи, как приготовление ужина или кормление свиней неизбежно приводят к фатальной развязке. Даже ее мать считает, что на Стелле лежит какое-то проклятие. Испытания делают девушку крепкой и уверенной, и свой волевой характер Стелла использует, чтобы защитить от мира и жестокого отца младшую, более чувствительную сестренку Тину. На пороге Второй мировой войны семейство Фортуна уезжает в Америку искать лучшей жизни. Там двум сестрам приходится взрослеть бок о бок, и в этом новом мире от них многого ожидают. Скоро Стелла понимает, что ее жизнь после всех испытаний не будет ничего стоить, если она не добьется свободы. Но это именно то, чего семья не может ей позволить ни при каких обстоятельствах...

Declared “a writer to watch” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), New York Times bestselling author María Dueñas pours heart and soul into this story of a woman who discovers the power of second chances. A talented college professor in Madrid, Blanca Perea seems to have it all. But her world is suddenly shattered when her husband of twenty years leaves her for another woman. Questioning the life she once had and whether she truly knows herself, Blanca resolves to change her surroundings. She accepts what looks like a boring research grant in California involving an exiled Spanish writer who died decades ago. Anxious to leave her own troubled life behind, she is gradually drawn into his haunted world, with its poignant loves and unfulfilled ambitions. But in delving into the past, Blanca finds herself simultaneously awakened to the present by Daniel Carter, a charismatic professor with crucial knowledge about the dead writer that he has never before revealed. Amid this web of passion, conflict, and hidden feelings, including her own, Blanca advances like an avid detective, refusing to quit, and ultimately discovers startling answers that resonate deeply in her own life. Evocative, lyrical, and humorous, The Heart Has Its Reasons is a journey of the soul from the pangs of the past to the vibrant present. It is a story about the thrill of creating one’s life anew.

"This book is a translation of historian Carlo Ginzburgʾs latest collection of essays. Through the detective work of uncovering a wide variety of stories or microhistories from fragments, Ginzburg takes on the bigger questions: How do we draw the line between truth and fiction? What is the relationship between history and memory? Stories range from medieval Europe, the inquisitional trial of a witch, seventeenth-century antiquarianism, and twentieth-century historians"--Provided by publisher.
