Illustrato da IGORT Sul fianco scosceso di Kujira-yama, la Montagna della Balena, si spalanca un immenso giardino chiamato Bell Gardia. In mezzo è installata una cabina, al cui interno riposa un telefono non collegato, che trasporta le voci nel vento. Da tutto il Giappone vi convogliano ogni anno migliaia di persone che hanno perduto qualcuno, che alzano la cornetta per parlare con chi è nell'aldilà. Quando su quella zona si abbatte un uragano di immane violenza, da lontano accorre una donna, pronta a proteggere il giardino a costo della sua vita. Si chiama Yui, ha trent'anni e una data separa quella che era da quella che è: 11 marzo 2011. Quel giorno lo tsunami spazzò via il paese in cui abitava, inghiottì la madre e la figlia, le sottrasse la gioia di essere al mondo. Venuta per caso a conoscenza di quel luogo surreale, Yui va a visitarlo e a Bell Gardia incontra Takeshi, un medico che vive a Tokyo e ha una bimba di quattro anni, muta dal giorno in cui è morta la madre. Per rimarginare la vita serve coraggio, fortuna e un luogo comune in cui dipanare il racconto prudente di sé. E ora che quel luogo prezioso rischia di esserle portato via dall'uragano, Yui decide di affrontare il vento, quello che scuote la terra così come quello che solleva le voci di chi non c'è più. E poi? E poi Yui lo avrebbe presto scoperto. Che è un vero miracolo l'amore. Anche il secondo, anche quello che arriva per sbaglio. Perché quando nessuno si attende il miracolo, il miracolo avviene. Laura Imai Messina ci conduce in un luogo realmente esistente nel nord-est del Giappone, toccando con delicatezza la tragedia dello tsunami del 2011, e consegnandoci un mondo fragile ma denso di speranza, una storia di resilienza la cui più grande magia risiede nella realtà.

“Electric. A wildly astute plunge into the depths of love, rivalry, betrayal and the power of women.”—Bill Clegg An internationally renowned writer, Valeria Costas has dedicated her life to her work and to her secret lover, Martìn Acla, a prominent businessman. When his sudden stroke makes headlines, her world implodes; the idea of losing him is terrifying. Desperate to find a way to be present during her lover's final days, Valeria commissions his artist wife, Isla, to paint her portrait—insinuating herself into Martìn's family home and life. In the grand, chaotic London mansion where the man they share—husband, father, lover—lies in a coma, Valeria and Isla remain poised on the brink, transfixed by one another. Day after day, the two women talk to each other during the sittings, revealing truths, fragilities and strengths. But does Isla know of the writer's long involvement with Martìn? Does Valeria grasp the secrets that Isla harbors? Amidst their own private turmoil, the stories of their lives are exchanged, and as the portrait takes shape, we watch these complex and extraordinary women struggle while the love of their lives departs, in an unforgettable, breathless tale of deception and mystery that captivates until the very end.

Oceans and decades apart, two women are inextricably bound by the secrets between them. Japan, 1957. Seventeen-year-old Naoko Nakamura’s prearranged marriage to the son of her father’s business associate would secure her family’s status in their traditional Japanese community, but Naoko has fallen for another man—an American sailor, a gaijin—and to marry him would bring great shame upon her entire family. When it’s learned Naoko carries the sailor’s child, she’s cast out in disgrace and forced to make unimaginable choices with consequences that will ripple across generations. America, present day. Tori Kovac, caring for her dying father, finds a letter containing a shocking revelation—one that calls into question everything she understood about him, her family and herself. Setting out to learn the truth behind the letter, Tori’s journey leads her halfway around the world to a remote seaside village in Japan, where she must confront the demons of the past to pave a way for redemption. In breathtaking prose and inspired by true stories from a devastating and little-known era in Japanese and American history, The Woman in the White Kimono illuminates a searing portrait of one woman torn between her culture and her heart, and another woman on a journey to discover the true meaning of home.

In 1948, as violence erupts in Jerusalem, a young Arab woman, Hind Husseini, finds fifty-five abandoned children in the streets and faces the biggest challenge of her life. Hind establishes the Dar El-Tifel orphanage, dedicating her life to providing love, support and education to the children, changing their destiny. As the years pass and the conflict rages on, Hind finds that - despite her best efforts - some of her older students are taking part in the violent struggle for Palestinian independence, including one of her brightest students, Miral. Rula Jebreal traces the lives of generations of Palestinians in order to understand the intractable conflict. Based on fact, Hind Husseini, benefactor of thousands of children, is the figurehead in this examination of race, religion and what a homeland means.

'Absolutely breathtaking' Christy Lefteri, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo. We all have something to tell those we have lost . . . On a windy hill in Japan, in a garden overlooking the sea stands a disused phone box. For years, people have travelled to visit the phone box, to pick up the receiver and speak into the wind: to pass their messages to loved ones no longer with us. When Yui loses her mother and daughter in the tsunami, she is plunged into despair and wonders how she will ever carry on. One day she hears of the phone box, and decides to make her own pilgrimage there, to speak once more to the people she loved the most. But when you have lost everything, the right words can be the hardest thing to find . . . Then she meets Takeshi, a bereaved husband whose own daughter has stopped talking in the wake of their loss. What happens next will warm your heart, even when it feels as though it is breaking...
