Fallon R: Family Drama

Family Drama

One of The New York Times' 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. International bestseller. A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin. One of The New York Times' 100 Best Books of the Twenty-First Century and a classic of short fiction, Lucia Berlin's A Manual for Cleaning Women was a global sensation upon its publication in 2015, eleven years after its author's death. Largely unheralded throughout her peripatetic life, Berlin was a fiction writer of staggering, singular genius. With the grit of Raymond Carver, the humor of Grace Paley, and a blend of wit and melancholy all her own, Berlin crafted miracles from the everyday, uncovering moments of grace in the Laundromats and halfway houses of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Bay Area upper class, among switchboard operators and struggling mothers, hitchhikers and bad Christians. Written over the course of thirty years, the forty-three stories in A Manual for Cleaning Women-collected here in a 10th anniversary edition-are short fiction at its most unforgettable and original, told with unmistakable style by a master of the form.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER ¿ A July Indie Next Pick ¿ "A strikingly original and deeply moving debut." -People ¿ "Begins with such a gasp-inducing twist that it's almost impossible to describe." -Real Simple ¿ "The literary book of the summer." -Sarah Gelman, CBS Mornings SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FATE. I KNEW IT WASN'T.... Honor seems to have everything: she adores her bright and beautiful daughter, Chloe, and her charming, handsome husband, Tom, even if he works one hundred hours a week. Yet Honor's longing for another baby threatens to eclipse all of it-until a shocking event changes their lives forever. Years later, Tom makes a decision that ripples through their families' lives in ways he could never have foreseen. As the consequences of that fateful choice unfold, two women's paths become irrevocably intertwined. But when old love clashes with new, who will be left standing? And what happens when your secrets come back to haunt you? Blending a page-turning moral dilemma with satisfying emotional poignancy, Finding Grace is a sweeping love story that explores the price of a new beginning, how the ghosts of our past shape our future, and whether redemption can be found in the wreckage of what we've lost.

Orgueil et préjugés

WARNING: SEMANTIC ERROR ALERT! Computer science major Sangwoo Choo lives by the following tenets: reason, routine, and rules. So it makes perfect sense for him to delete his group members' names from the project they contributed nothing to. If that inadvertently destroys their immediate future plans...Well, it's not Sangwoo's problem, right?Award-winning visual arts major Jaeyoung Jang is aghast to find his dreams of grad school in the United States put on the back burner-all because some snitch in his project group caused him to fail a required class. Now with plenty of time on his hands, he grudgingly agrees to fill in for a friend as the designer of a new mobile game-only to come face-to-face with Sangwoo Choo, the very person who screwed him over in the first place!Now Sangwoo is unable to get a moment's peace as Jaeyoung remains glued to his side, eager for some payback. What's even weirder is that despite their rocky start and mutual disdain, Sangwoo and Jaeyoung find themselves inexplicably drawn toward each other like moths to a very annoying flame! Will Sangwoo find a way to debug this semantic error before it upends his whole life?

Semantic Error (Novel), Vol. 1

For fans of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Miranda July comes a whip-smart, irresistible novel about a college senior who has 48 hours to sell her recently deceased mother's surprise stash of rare pills, or suffer the consequences. &nbsp; Arvy Keening is just trying to get through the week. Tantalizingly close to leaving her college years at Westheimer University behind, all she has to do is pass her finals, pack up her life, and ship off to San Francisco for a prestigious Big Pharma internship. The problem? Arvy just found 200 hits of Molly in her dead mother’s closet. And when two drug dealers come to collect what they are owed, they reveal that the pills are not Molly, but Mona—a rare pharmaceutical that induces intense orgasms. The dealers give Arvy an ultimatum: Sell 200 Monas in 48 hours or die. &nbsp;&nbsp; To aid in her seemingly impossible quest, Arvy recruits Wolf, Westheimer's resident drug dealer who also happens to be infuriatingly charming and distractingly sexy. In a race against the clock, Arvy and Wolf barrel through their college town, leaving a series of erotic shenanigans in their wake; appealing to horny co-eds, lonely barflies, and a mysterious sorority whose sisters have their own ideas for Mona’s potential uses. But if Mona has a knack for unleashing visceral reactions in the body, what will it unlock in Arvy, who has been repressing grief over her mother’s death for weeks? &nbsp;&nbsp; Unashamedly brash, bold, and blistering, 200 Monas is a truly one-of-a-kind read, a playful and honest examination of sexuality and grief, and a sharp, searing love letter on how to release all that’s inside you. &nbsp;

200 Monas

A moving and heart-rending debut about a grieving woman who moves to a charming small town and finds healing, friendship and love, from multi-million-copy bestselling poet Courtney Peppernell. Bestselling author and poet Wren Paisley is a mess after the untimely death of her fiancée Lucy in a tragic car crash that left a young bystander paralysed. Unable to escape the media frenzy swarming her brownstone, Wren goes on a road trip with no destination in mind, until she hits Everston, Colorado.&nbsp;Everston is charming, the people are kind and, most importantly, no one knows who she is.&nbsp; It feels fortuitous – and a little dangerous – when she learns that the local library holds a weekly grief support group that reads, of all things, poetry. Hesitantly, she joins and slowly begins to build community with the other members, including Henry, a librarian mourning the loss of his brother, Emerson, a young woman recovering from a traumatic accident, and Olivia, a grieving reporter who gives her butterflies. Finally, she can breathe again. But not for long. As she grows closer to new friends and a possible new love, her past comes barreling back into focus. How long can she keep her old life in the rearview? Will she be able to build a new life in Everston, or will it all come crashing down when new truths come to light?

Last Poem

Charles John Huffam Dickens, (1812-1870) war ein englischer Schriftsteller. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken gehören »David Copperfield«, »Eine Geschichte aus zwei Städten«, »Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte« und »Oliver Twist«.

Mit dem stark autobiografisch geprägten Roman »David Copperfield«, den er selbst als seinen »Lieblingsroman« bezeichnete, schuf Charles Dickens einen der wenigen großen Bildungsromane der englischen Literatur, der sich vor allem durch seine überzeugende Schilderung der Demütigungen und Ängste der Kindheit auszeichnet.
