Koval K: Penitence

Penitence

A Novel

'Ein spannender, scharfsinnig beobachtender Roman über Klasse, Geld und Liebe.' Nick Hornby Die Pineapple Street in Brooklyn Heights ist eine der begehrtesten Wohngegenden in New York City und Heimat der wohlhabenden Familie Stockton. Obwohl sie alles haben, was sie sich wünschen, suchen die Töchter Darley und Georgiana und Schwiegertochter Sasha nach Erfüllung in ihrem Leben. Witzig, klug und voller Herz, mit wunderbar liebenswerten und fehlbaren Figuren, ist 'Pineapple Street' ein brillant komponierter Roman über Familiendynamiken, die Macht des Geldes, den alles verzehrenden Wahnsinn der ersten Liebe - sowie die uralte Frage: Macht Geld wirklich glücklich?DARLEY, die älteste Tochter, musste sich nie um Geld Sorgen machen. Sie folgte ihrem Herzen und tauschte ihren Job und ihr Erbe gegen die Mutterrolle. Aber am Ende opfert sie mehr von sich, als sie jemals beabsichtigt hatte. SASHA heiratet in die Stockton-Familie ein, deren komplexe und undurchsichtige Traditionen Welten von ihrem alten Leben entfernt sind. Sie fühlt sich wie ein Fremdkörper, stets bemüht ihrer neuen Schwiegermutter zu gefallen - und doch lässt ihr Zögern, einen Ehevertrag zu unterschreiben, alle über ihre wahren Absichten rätseln. GEORGIANA, das Nesthäkchen, verliebt sich unsterblich in jemanden, den sie nicht haben kann - und ist gezwungen, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen, wer sie eigentlich sein möchte.

Pineapple Street

Don Winslow’s acclaimed fiction collection, featuring “Crime 101,” soon to be a major motion picture starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Monica Barbaro.No matter how you come into this world, you come out broken . . .&nbsp;Hailed as “one of America’s greatest storytellers” (Stephen King), #1 international bestseller Don Winslow presents&nbsp;six intense short novels with characters—some familiar, some new—&nbsp;connected by the themes of crime, vengeance, guilt, and redemption. It includes:<ul><li>Crime 101: A string of high-level jewel heists up and down the Pacific Coast Highway has gone unsolved for years, mostly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls “Crime 101.”&nbsp;Police attribute the thefts to the Colombian cartels.&nbsp;But Detective Lou Lubesnick’s gut says it’s the work of just one man.&nbsp;Now the lone-wolf jewel thief is looking for that fabled final last score.&nbsp;And Lou breaks all the rules of Crime 101…</li><li>Broken: Police dispatcher Eva McNabb takes the call on a police officer’s brutal murder by a vicious drug gang.&nbsp;It’s her own kid, Danny.&nbsp;Then Eva makes her own call.&nbsp;Summoning her elder son, Jimmy, also a cop, Eva commands: Avenge your brother.&nbsp;I want you to kill them all.</li><li>The Last Ride: To former soldier and cowboy-turned-Border Patrol agent Cal Strickland, the illegals who try to jump his stretch of the Texas-Mexico border are a nameless, faceless group who need to be sent back to their side of the line. That is, until he sees the little girl in the cage. And Cal knows that the time has come to make a stand and help her escape.</li></ul>With his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, action, and the highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of tales that have become classics of crime fiction.“While Winslow is in widely fluent in many different prose techniques&nbsp;— from the twisty punchline felonies of Elmore Leonard and Robert B. Parker to the&nbsp;rebop riffs of James Ellroy to mega-works of dark literature a la Cormac McCarthy and James Lee Burke&nbsp;— he's not 'copying' anyone. He's writing his OWN masterpieces and just happens to do so in the fashion appropriate to the work. . . . Every piece in&nbsp;Broken&nbsp;is a winner and compellingly different.”&nbsp;—&nbsp;The Day&nbsp;(CT)“Broken&nbsp;will make you laugh and cry, but in the end will explain why&nbsp;The New York Times&nbsp;thinks Winslow is simply ‘the greatest.’ . . . He crafts every sentence until it beats to a rhythm of its own. . . .&nbsp;Broken&nbsp;is devastating and brilliant.” —&nbsp;Sydney Morning Herald

A Novella

Crime 101 [Movie Tie-in]

SHORTLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 'Beautiful and unflinching, Cloudless is a phenomenal debut' ANNA HOPE, author of Albion 'Attends to the bonds we have to family, landscape, global politics with uncommon attention, extraordinary depth and lightness of touch' ELIZABETH O'CONNOR, author of Whale Fall It is autumn 2004 and in a farmhouse on the hills outside Llandudno, Catrin and John endure the agonizing wait for their older son to return from Iraq. His decision to join up has left them reeling, yet there are other battles at home: the working of the land that has been theirs for generations and what to do with their troubled younger son. Catrin's childhood sweetheart comes back to their small town, forcing the boys' doting mother to confront the life she might have had. And John, desperate to keep farm and family together, turns to ever riskier methods to stay afloat. As each member of the family grasps at their own tenuous lifeline, they drift further from one another - until, on a cold winter evening, there is a fateful knock at the door. Written in luminous, exquisitely calibrated prose, Cloudless is a masterful portrayal of the fragility and resilience of human connection. 'Dastur writes with devastating compassion on what it means to be human' CATHERINE AIREY, author of Confessions 'Elegant and quietly devastating' MELISSA FU, author of Peach, Blossom, Spring 'A story about love and war, family and nation . . . Told with intelligence, sensitivity and a huge heart' PAUL McVEIGH, author of The Good Son

Cloudless

Gemeinsam mit ihrer magisch begabten Mutter wächst sie tief in den Wäldern auf. Immer wieder suchen Visionen sie heim, Visionen von einem See, der ein Geheimnis birgt und ein Versprechen. Als sie einen Reisenden von Artos erzählen hört, dem König von Caer Leon, weiß sie, dass ihre Zukunft an seinem Hof liegt. // Und so löst sie den Bund mit ihrer Mutter und reitet mit einem gestohlenen Jagdspeer und einer geflickten Rüstung los. Sie wird Lust und Liebe kennenlernen und Kämpfe bis auf den Tod. Sie wird sich mit Kriegern und Zauberern messen, und sie wird die Welt verändern - ihre eigene Welt und die vieler anderer. // Diesem kleinen Buch gelingt Erstaunliches: Es verleiht einer mythische Vergangenheit neue Bedeutung und öffnet uns die Augen für eine Welt, in der wir frei atmen und frei denken können.
