Passage North Hogarth Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE A young man journeys into Sri Lanka s war-torn north in this searing novel of longing, loss, and the legacy of war from the author of The Story of a Brief Marriage.   A novel of tragic power and uncommon beauty. Anthony Marra One of the most individual minds of their generation. Financial TimesNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TIME AND NPRA Passage North begins with a message from out of the blue: a telephone call informing Krishan that his grandmother s caretaker, Rani, has died under unexpected circumstances found at the bottom of a well in her village in the north, her neck broken by the fall. The news arrives on the heels of an email from Anjum, an impassioned yet aloof activist Krishnan fell in love with years before while living in Delhi, stirring old memories and desires from a world he left behind.  As Krishan makes the long journey by train from Colombo into the war-torn Northern Province for Rani s funeral, so begins an astonishing passage into the innermost reaches of a country. At once a powerful meditation on absence and longing, as well as an unsparing account of the legacy of Sri Lanka s thirty-year civil war, this procession to a pyre at the end of the earth lays bare the imprints of an island s past, the unattainable distances between who we are and what we seek. Written with precision and grace, Anuk Arudpragasam s masterful novel is an attempt to come to terms with life in the wake of devastation, and a poignant memorial for those lost and those still living.

She Regrets Nothing WASHINGTON SQUARE

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Named a "Must-Read" by Town & Country * Elite Daily * InStyle "The love child of Gossip Girl and Crazy Rich Asians, plus the social climbing of a Gatsby party." --Refinery29 In the tradition of The Emperor's Children and The House of Mirth, the forgotten granddaughter of one of New York's wealthiest men is reunited with her family just as she comes of age--and once she's had a glimpse of their glittering world, she refuses to let it go without a fight. When Laila Lawrence becomes an orphan at twenty-three, the sudden loss unexpectedly introduces her to three glamorous cousins from New York who show up unannounced at her mother's funeral. The three siblings are scions of the wealthy family from which Laila's father had been estranged long before his own untimely demise ten years before. Two years later, Laila has left behind her quiet life in Grosse Point, Michigan to move to New York City, landing her smack in the middle of her cousins' decadent world. As the truth about why Laila's parents became estranged from the family patriarch becomes clear, Laila grows ever more resolved to claim what's rightfully hers. Caught between longing for the love of her family and her relentless pursuit of the lifestyle she feels she was unfairly denied, Laila finds herself reawakening a long dead family scandal--not to mention setting off several new ones--as she becomes further enmeshed in the lives and love affairs of her cousins. But will Laila ever, truly, belong in their world? Sly and sexy, She Regrets Nothing is a sharply observed and utterly seductive tale about family, fortune, and fate--and the dark side of wealth.show less
