'A rebel French writer ... a brilliant storyteller, a master craftsman and one of France's most original writers' Independent 'The Kites is a novel touched from beginning to end with grace, a great saga about the innate dignity of love that succeeds in the feat of being funny and poetic, tender and sharp, committed and fierce, with a touch of brilliance in the art of dialogue' Muriel Barbery, author of The Elegance of the Hedgehog A quiet village in Normandy, 1932. Ludo is ten years old and lives with his uncle, a kindly, eccentric creator of elaborate kites. One day, sitting in a strawberry field, Ludo meets the beautiful young Polish aristocrat Lila. And so begins Ludo's lifelong adventure of love and longing for Lila, who only begins to return his feelings just as Europe descends into the devastation of World War 2. After Poland and France fall, Lila and Ludo are separated. Ludo's friends in the village must find their own ways of resisting: the local restaurateur who is dedicated above all to France's haute cuisine, a Jewish brothel madam who sleeps with her unwitting enemies and Ludo, who cycles past the Nazis every day, passing on messages for the French Resistance - thinking always of Lila.

Maud and her cousins launch their kites deep into the heaven, from the lookout cliff in Montego, Jamaica. Their hope is with the hurricane wind forces of 1917, their kites will be washed up on the shores of Cuba. The experience of the lift and drag forces of the kites that Maud learned from the neighbor Andrew convinces her that kite flying is the way to contact her parents. Maud's grandmother, MamaJames, hasn't received a letter from her daughter and son-in-law for many years. The letters suddenly stop coming. Maud becomes worried that something is seriously wrong. Now eleven years old, Maud remembers the nurturing touch of her mother. The connection she misses so much she found comfort in her mother's pillow. Maud will sniff her mother's pillow and inhale the stained aroma of her mother's bosom embedded on the pillow. She longs for her mother. Anxiety is building up. The fear of losing her grandmother from her many illnesses and being alone frightens Maud. Eight years have passed since Ann and Jon, Maud's parents, left Jamaica to work on the tobacco plantation in Cuba. They have satisfied their work contract six years ago. The cargo ship and the interest of the plantation owners that brought them and other immigrants to Cuba refuse to grant them access to return to their homeland. Slavery ended, but the Negroes in both countries, Cuba and Jamaica, feel enslaved by the rigid conditions set forth by the White settlers and other lighter-complexioned Negroes. They fought back in their own way to preserve their dignity and happiness as they face many challenges. Maud misses her mother more than ever, and there are no more letters. She does the most miraculous thing: bringing her family together to fly kites. As the 1917 hurricane descends on the shores of Cuba days later, bringing torrential rain, and everything in the atmosphere is dumped on the shores of Cuba, Maud waits...

From the author of the “lyrical and compelling” (USA Today) novel A Good American comes a powerful story of two friends and the unintended consequences of friendship, loss, and hope. For Robert Carter, life in his coastal Maine hometown is comfortably predictable. But in 1976, on his first day of eighth grade, he meets Nathan Tilly, who changes everything. Nathan is confident, fearless, impetuous—and fascinated by kites and flying. Robert and Nathan’s budding friendship is forged in the crucible of two family tragedies, and as the boys struggle to come to terms with loss, they take summer jobs at the local rundown amusement park. It’s there that Nathan’s boundless capacity for optimism threatens to overwhelm them both, and where they learn some harsh truths about family, desire, and revenge. Unforgettable and heart-breaking, Setting Free the Kites is a poignant and moving exploration of the pain, joy, and glories of young friendship.
