«Un libro che parla di famiglie, di speranza, persa e ritrovata, ma anche di come la gentilezza si possa trovare nei posti più improbabili. » The Bookseller C’è posta per Margaret Small e non si tratta di pubblicità. La busta colorata contiene cinquanta sterline e una lettera, breve e scritta con una grafia ordinata. Margaret riesce a distinguere la firma: C. Il resto, invece, non riesce a leggerlo. Sotto i suoi occhi le lettere oscillano, sparpagliandosi sul pezzo di carta. Lei prova ad afferrarle, ma le sfuggono via. Margaret è diversa dalla maggior parte delle persone. Ha qualche difficoltà in più. Per questo, quand’era bambina, sua nonna l’ha affidata all’istituto St Mary; da quel momento, Margaret non l’ha più vista. Alla St Mary nessuno le ha veramente insegnato qualcosa – lì i bambini vengono abbandonati a loro stessi – eppure, in quella scuola, ci è rimasta più a lungo del previsto: ne è uscita all’età di quarantun anni. Oggi di anni ne ha settantacinque e a leggere non ha ancora imparato. La sua vita semplice è scandita da rituali che si ripetono ogni giorno. Come le lettere, ognuna di un colore diverso dell’arcobaleno, che continuano ad arrivare. Il mistero si infittisce… Ogni tanto, Margaret racconta di aver dimenticato gli occhiali e riesce a trovare qualcuno che legga al posto suo. Lei ancora non lo sa, ma dietro quelle lettere si nascondono segreti sconvolgenti che riguardano il suo passato. Il passato che lei voleva dimenticare. Questo libro è una vera e propria coccola e quando l’avrete finito vi verrà voglia di abbracciarlo. È impossibile non voler bene alla sua protagonista e alla sua profonda umanità. È anche un romanzo che, per la prima volta, affronta i problemi dell’apprendimento con grazia e competenza. La capacità dell’autore di parlare di questa realtà è stata infatti premiata: il libro ha dominato le classifiche inglesi per settimane ed è ora in via di pubblicazione in dieci paesi. Margaret Small ci mostra la vita attraverso i suoi occhi e il mondo non è mai stato più colorato.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2020 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES * THE WASHINGTON POST * NPR * PEOPLE * TIME MAGAZINE* VANITY FAIR * GLAMOUR 2021 WOMEN'S PRIZE FINALIST “Bennett’s tone and style recalls James Baldwin and Jacqueline Woodson, but it’s especially reminiscent of Toni Morrison’s 1970 debut novel, The Bluest Eye.” —Kiley Reid, Wall Street Journal “A story of absolute, universal timelessness …For any era, it's an accomplished, affecting novel. For this moment, it's piercing, subtly wending its way toward questions about who we are and who we want to be….” – Entertainment Weekly From The New York Times-bestselling author of The Mothers, a stunning new novel about twin sisters, inseparable as children, who ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds, one black and one white. The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect? Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond issues of race, The Vanishing Half considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins. As with her New York Times-bestselling debut The Mothers, Brit Bennett offers an engrossing page-turner about family and relationships that is immersive and provocative, compassionate and wise.

'A heartbreaking portrait of an ordinary family shattered by a war they didn't want' The Times They've wrecked the world, these men, and still they're not done. They'd take the sky if they could. Germany, 1945, and the bombs are falling. In Heidenfeld, Etta and her husband Josef roam an empty nest: their eldest son Max is fighting on the frontlines, while fifteen-year-old Georg has swapped books for guns at a Nürnberg school for the Hitler Youth. At home, news of the war provokes daily doses of fear as the planes grow closer, taking one city after the next. When Max is unexpectedly discharged, Etta is relieved to have her eldest home and safe. But soon after he arrives, it's clear that the boy who left is not the same returned. With Georg a hundred miles away and a husband confronting his own difficult feelings toward patriotic duty, Etta alone must gather the pieces of a splintering family, determined to hold them together in the face of an uncertain future.
