PRÉMIO NOBEL DE LITERATURA 2021 Um dos romances mais representativos de Abdulrazak Gurnah, que reconfirma o seu talento de narrador…
e de cronista de uma África ainda desconhecida. Ao romper de mais uma manhã, Hassanali está a caminho da mesquita quando um forasteiro branco, vindo do deserto, desaba a seus pés. Hassanali decide ajudar aquele homem — um explorador e orientalista inglês de nome Martin Pearce — levando-o depois para casa de um oficial, seu conterrâneo. Quando Pearce regressa para agradecer a Hassanali por lhe ter salvado a vida, também conhece a irmã dele, Rehana, com quem viverá uma história de amor proibido. Décadas depois, numa Zanzibar em vésperas da turbulenta independência do poder colonial europeu, Jamila, a neta de Rehana, viverá com Amin uma história de amor em tudo semelhante, que desafiará a família, a moral e as convençõesda sociedade. Obra representativa do talento de Abdulrazak Gurnah, O Desertor evoca o complexo ambiente social, religioso e cultural da África Oriental na época colonial através de duas histórias de amor, separadas pelo tempo, mas unidas pelo seu desfecho, evidenciando o intricado mosaico de uma África ainda desconhecida. «Uma proeza admirável… uma profunda investigação sobre a natureza do amor, da raça e do império.» San Francisco Chronicle «[Gurnah] é um escritor no máximo da sua forma, com um forte sentido da narrativa, um olho clínico para as dinâmicas familiares e uma total compreensão da psicologia corrosiva do colonialismo.» The Seattle Times«Gurnah é um contador de histórias exímio.» Financial Times

A profound and singular story about a young woman searching for her place in the world, from one of America&’s…
most original voices—the irresistible story of one teenager&’s reckoning with society at large and her search for a personal utopia.Bran&’s Southern California upbringing is anything but traditional. After her mother joins a Buddhist colony, Bran is raised by her &“common-law stepfather&” on Bourdon Farms—a plant nursery that doubles as a cover for a biker gang. She spends her days tending plants, slogging through high school, and imagining what life could be if she had been born to a different family. And then she meets Peter, a beautiful, troubled, and charming train wreck of a college student from the East Coast, who launches his teaching career by initiating her into the world of literature and aesthetics. As the two begin a volatile and ostensibly doomed long-distance relationship, Bran searches for meaning in her own surroundings—attending disastrous dance recitals, house-sitting for strangers, and writing scripts for student films. She knows how to survive, but her happiness depends on learning to call the shots. Exceedingly rich, ecstatically dark, and delivered with masterful humor, Avalon is a poignant portrait of a young woman who, against all odds, is determined to find her place in the world and find clarity in its remote corners.

It is the return of what Stephen hoped he had outdistanced. Above all, to testify would jeopardise the fragile relationship with his daughter. And if he loses her, he loses everything. Instead, he decides to write her an account of his life; a confession, a defence, a love letter. Also a means of buying time. But time is running out, and the day comes when he must face again what happened in that faraway summer of 1982.

Following in the footsteps of The Birth House, her powerful debut novel, The Virgin Cure secures Ami McKay's place as…
one of our most beguiling storytellers. (Not that it has to… that is pretty much taken care of!)"I am Moth, a girl from the lowest part of Chrystie Street, born to a slum-house mystic and the man who broke her heart." So begins The Virgin Cure, a novel set in the tenements of lower Manhattan in the year 1871. As a young child, Moth's father smiled, tipped his hat and walked away from his wife and daughter forever, and Moth has never stopped imagining that one day they may be reunited – despite knowing in her heart what he chose over them. Her hard mother is barely making a living with her fortune-telling, sometimes for well-heeled clients, yet Moth is all too aware of how she really pays the rent.Life would be so much better, Moth knows, if fortune had gone the other way - if only she'd had the luxury of a good family and some station in life. The young Moth spends her days wandering the streets of her own and better neighbourhoods, imagining what days are like for the wealthy women whose grand yet forbidding gardens she slips through when no one's looking. Yet every night Moth must return to the disease- and grief-ridden tenements she calls home.The summer Moth turns twelve, her mother puts a halt to her explorations by selling her boots to a local vendor, convinced that Moth was planning to run away. Wanting to make the most of her every asset, she also sells Moth to a wealthy woman as a servant, with no intention of ever seeing her again.These betrayals lead Moth to the wild, murky world of the Bowery, filled with house-thieves, pickpockets, beggars, sideshow freaks and prostitutes, but also a locale frequented by New York's social elite. Their patronage supports the shadowy undersphere, where businesses can flourish if they truly understand the importance of wealth and social standing - and of keeping secrets. In that world Moth meets Miss Everett, the owner of a brothel simply known as an "infant school." There Moth finds the orderly solace she has always wanted, and begins to imagine herself embarking upon a new path.Yet salvation does not come without its price: Miss Everett caters to gentlemen who pay dearly for companions who are "willing and clean," and the most desirable of them all are young virgins like Moth. That's not the worst of the situation, though. In a time and place where mysterious illnesses ravage those who haven't been cautious, no matter their social station, diseased men yearn for a "virgin cure" - thinking that deflowering a "fresh maid" can heal the incurable and tainted. Through the friendship of Dr. Sadie, a female physician who works to help young women like her, Moth learns to question and observe the world around her. Moth's new friends are falling prey to fates both expected and forced upon them, yet she knows the law will not protect her, and that polite society ignores her. Still she dreams of answering to no one but herself. There's a high price for such independence, though, and no one knows that better than a girl from Chrystie Street.

Straight from the heart of New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux comes a story of love, tragedy, and mystery…
in a small North Carolina town brimming with secrets. Have you ever lost someone who meant more to you than your own soul? Ford Newcombe has. For years, he loved his wife, Pat, more than anyone -- and anything -- in the world. She came into his life when he was just an inexperienced college student with big dreams of becoming a published author. With love and humor, she guided him down the path that would eventually lead him to more success than he ever dreamed possible. Since Pat's death six years ago, Ford has lived a life of solitude, barely able to put pen to paper, and rumors are flying that it was Pat who actually created the books the world so loved. If there's one thing that Ford needs it's inspiration, and it finally comes in the guise of Jackie Maxwell -- a smart, sassy university researcher with just enough attitude to match Ford's sharp intellect. But it's her intimate knowledge of the story of a young woman's friendship with the devil -- and what the townspeople did to her -- that persuades Ford to hire Jackie as his assistant and to move to Cole Creek, North Carolina, where the story is said to have taken place. They soon learn that even though the inhabitants of Cole Creek try to deny it, they are still plagued by the consequences of the otherworldly tale of passion and death. As Ford and Jackie work to unravel the truth, they discover a connection between their lives and the past, a connection that not only helps them solve a long-ago crime but offers the promise of new love. Loved by readers and critics alike for her "golden touch" (Publishers Weekly), Jude Deveraux has once again created a story that pulls at readers' heartstrings, titillates their imaginations, and uncovers a long-buried passion that far surpasses the boundary between life and death.
