The Helsinki Trilogy

Penguin International Writers

'A Finnish masterpiece of autofiction... a dreamy, complex and therefore so very human portrait of the formation of a great artist' Financial Times A riveting, funny coming-of-age story: the second volume in Pirkko Saisio's award-winning Helsinki trilogyTeenaged Pirkko can't decide which she hates most: God, her communist father, or her growing breasts. Grandpa has moved into the room long promised to her, and Mother, overworked and distant, tries to keep the peace between her headstrong daughter and husband. It's 1960s Finland and Pirkko has fun getting into trouble. That is, until her teacher suggests she might have what it takes to be a real writer. Then the historic summer of 1968 arrives, which Pirkko spends working at a Swiss orphanage where no one understands her and, as much as her family drive her mad, she's homesick for the first time.As the world shifts and swirls around her, Pirkko must make sense of it all - including her own sexual identity. A funny, unique coming-of-age story and an intimate portrait of a life lived in language, Backlight is the second volume in Pirkko Saisio's award-winning Helsinki trilogy.

Backlight

Named one of Ten Best Books of 2025 by The Wall Street Journal Named one of Ten Best Books of 2025 by The Washington Post Named a Best Novel of 2025 by NPR and Publishers Weekly Named a Best Historical Novel of 2025 by The New York Times "A powerful and original epic . . . Deadly politics, tragic romance and dangerous sea journeys keep the drama at a spirited boil." -The New York Times "An epic of extraordinary abundance . . . modern and mythological. . . wondrous enough to endure." -The Wall Street Journal "An epic that feels less created than unearthed . . . The Wayfinder is sui generis - a tapestry of South Pacific myth, archetypal quest, political allegory, environmental jeremiad and feminist revision that feels both ancient and impossibly relevant." -The Washington Post Talking corpses, poetic parrots, and a fan that wafts the breath of life-this is the world young K¿rero finds herself thrust into when a mysterious visitor lands on her island, a place so remote its inhabitants have forgotten the word for stranger. Her people are desperate and on the brink of starvation, and the wayward stranger offers them an impossible choice: they can remain in the only home they've ever known and await the uncertainty to come, or K¿rero can join him and venture into unfamiliar waters, guided by only the night sky and his assurance of a bountiful future in the Kingdom of Tonga. What K¿rero and her people don't know is that the promised refuge is no utopia-instead, Tonga is an empire at war and on the verge of collapse, a place where brains are regularly liberated from skulls and souls get trapped in coconuts with some frequency. The perils of Tonga are compounded by a royal feud: loyalties are shifting, graves are being opened, and everyone lives in fear of a jellyfish tattoo. Here, survival can rest on a perfectly performed dance or the acceptance of a cup of kava. Together, the stranger and K¿rero embark upon an epic voyage-one that will deliver them either to salvation or to the depths of the Pacific. Evoking the grandeur of Wolf Hall and the splendor of Sh¿gun, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Adam Johnson conjures oral history, restores the natural world, and locates what's best in humanity. Toweringly ambitious and breathtakingly immersive, The Wayfinder is an instant, timeless classic.

PREMIO CLARÍN DE NOVELA «Una novela actual y misteriosa, en la tradición del weird y con citas a Arthur Machen, Lovecraft o Chambers, con algo de terror ecológico y una notable reconstrucción histórica'. -Mariana Enriquez Hay algo vivo e inclasificable que recorre el planeta Tierra desde su creación y parece capaz de sobrevivirlo. Se extiende bajo la superficie y emerge como una planta fantástica, en múltiples sentidos. De ella darán testimonio los distintos narradores de la novela -cuyas voces se escuchan en 1504, 1888, 1945- y el arco temporal de un futuro que solo la literatura puede imaginar. Una y otra vez, mientras la humanidad crece y se piensa, el bionte, este organismo que aterra pero que también refugia, será un espejo del devenir histórico bajo el horror de su idea de progreso. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION CLARÍN NOVEL PRIZE &gt;There is something alive and unclassifiable that has coursed through planet Earth since its creation--and seems capable of outliving it. It spreads beneath the surface and emerges like a fantastic plant, in every sense of the word. Its existence is recounted by the novel's different narrators--voices that speak from 1504, 1888, and 1945--and through the temporal arc of a future that only literature can imagine. Time and again, as humanity grows and reflects upon itself, the biont--this organism that both terrifies and shelters--becomes a mirror of historical evolution, shadowed by the horror of its own idea of progress.

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! Two people who can’t stand each other must come together to plan their mutual ex’s wedding in this new romantic comedy by Taleen Voskuni, author of Lavash at First Sight. Ani Avakian was supposed to be the Bay Area’s premier Armenian wedding planner by now. But after a huge blow to her business, she’s determined to redeem herself by taking on the biggest job of her career: a wedding for an indie movie star. The wedding is set at a stunning Armenian-owned winery, and Ani is eager to connect with the owner, who she’ll be working closely with. But then she actually meets him. Sure, Raffi is ridiculously hot and charming, but he’s also insufferably smug. Though the real gut punch comes when Ani meets the happy couple—because the actress’s fiancée is none other than the woman who shattered her heart two years ago: her ex-girlfriend, Kami. All Raffi Garabedian has ever wanted is to make his father proud. Taking over the family winery should be his dream come true—but its first major event is off to a rocky start, thanks to one irritating(-ly beautiful) wedding planner who challenges him at every turn. He’s shocked to find that they have one thing in common, however: their mutual ex, Kami. Despite the record level of awkwardness, they’ll have to work together to make sure this wedding goes perfectly. But first, they’ll have to deal with the tension sizzling between them—before it turns their ex’s nuptials into a full-blown disaster…or something much more scandalous.

Our Ex's Wedding

The latest novel from the winner of the 2021 European Union Prize for Literature.

Teddý lives with her parents on a farm in the Icelandic wilderness. It's 1962, and the world is changing, although you wouldn't know it from the stark quiet of the lava fields and mountains that mark the boundaries of the young woman's existence. But after two chance encounters, Teddý's dreams of a world beyond begin to crystallise, albeit in strange and unexpected ways, as we follow one woman's life over five decades, from farm to city to the skies. Taking us from the grandeur of rural Iceland to the glossy, sticky world of 1970s air travel, via check fraud, thwarted ambition and lost astronauts, Boudoir is a novel about reinvention, dislocation, and the forceful gravity of the lives and selves we think we've left behind.

Boudoir

A whimsical queer romance about two mismatched roommates whose fragile—and definitely not romantic at all—balance is upended by an impending family wedding and an otherworldly danger in the nearby enchanted wood. There are at least 100 things wrong with Meredith Schwarzwelder. In fact, keeping track of these things is the only way David Carew has managed to remain living with him for as long as he has. Meredith is an irredeemable eccentric who flirts with everyone in his path (#3 on the list), cries at anything (#35), makes the worst coffee in the world (#70), and talks to mice, or imagines he does (#50). It’s bad enough living with such a person on the edge of the Midnight Wood, but when magic starts to seep from the wood and a dark being emerges with a sinister plan involving Meredith, David decides that it’s time to leave the cottage, and his roommate, behind. Then Meredith’s brother gets engaged to the daughter of David’s boss, and David sees an opportunity: If he can insert himself into the festivities, maybe he can advance his career and get himself out of a personal rut. With wedding bells sounding and the dangers of the Midnight Wood encroaching, David realizes there’s much more hiding beneath the surface of his roommate’s seemingly carefree charm, and that perhaps his own exasperation carries more fondness than he’d like to admit. Cozy, sharp, steamy, and poignant, Into the Midnight Wood is a contemporary queer fairy tale about the masks we wear, the stories we tell, and the powerful need for true, honest connection to heal old wounds and new.

Into the Midnight Wood

“Charming, propulsive, and emotionally gripping.” —People “[A] riveting novel of madcap adventure.” —The&nbsp;New&nbsp;Yorker A rollicking debut&nbsp;novel about a&nbsp;cautious daughter and her eccentric, estranged mother venturing west in search of buried treasure—and a way back to each other—before they run out of patience, money, and options After being fired for taking an uncharacteristic risk at her commodities trading job, Bea Macon sublets her New York apartment and books a one-way ticket to stay with her mother, Christy, a free spirit who has been living in Salt Lake City on Bea's dime.&nbsp; Usually the responsible one, Bea isn't about to admit exactly why she's suddenly decided to visit, but she isn’t the only one keeping secrets: Christy has a man. She has a map. She has&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;. a username on a forum devoted to unearthing $1 million in buried treasure that an antiquities dealer claims to have hidden somewhere in the western U.S.? Bea is convinced this is just another one of her mother’s wild larks, an elaborate way to refuse, as she has for Bea’s entire life, to finally grow up. But Christy believes she’s onto something—and she’s arranged a rendezvous in a rural town called Mercy with the guy she’s been obsessively trading theories with online to prove it.&nbsp;Out in the desert that one woman believes to be a promised land, the other a wasteland, they find themselves barreling toward a more high-stakes, transformative escapade than either of them could have imagined. Populated with unforgettable characters and set against one of the world’s most oddly enrapturing landscapes, Scavengers is a&nbsp;funny and heartbreaking novel about old injuries, new beginnings, and the lengths to which we’ll go to find, escape, and reinvent ourselves.

Scavengers

'Even better than I could have imagined . . . [it] takes all the expected stories about growing up Indian American, slices them open with razor-sharp wit, and turns them inside out' CELESTE NG, author of OUR MISSING HEARTS'Nina McConigley is a true original . . . Heart-mending and heart-breaking - as only the truth can be' TAYARI JONES, author of AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE'A fierce and marvelous book with an utterly unique, brightly burning lifeforce' MAGGIE SHIPSTEAD, author of GREAT CIRCLEGeorgie and Agatha Krishna killed their uncle, and they blame the British.Summer, 1986. The tween Creel sisters, Georgie Ayyar and Agatha Krishna, welcome their aunt, uncle and young cousin - newly arrived from India - into their house in rural Wyoming where they'll all live together. Because this is what families do. That is, until the sisters decide that it's time for their uncle to die.According to Georgie, the British are to blame. And to understand why, you need to hear her story. It's one of violence hiding in their house and history, of her once-unshakeable bond with her sister, of being an Indian-American girl in the heart of the West. Her account is cheeky, unflinching and infectiously inflected with the trappings of teendom: pen pal letters, how-to guides, games of MASH and teen-magazine-style quizzes that promise to make sense of their lives. And the tale she weaves is either:a) a vivid portrait of an extended family b) a moving story of sisterhood c) a playful ode to the 80s d) a murder mystery (of sorts) e) a ruthless meditation on history and language, trauma and healing, and the meaning of independenceOr maybe it's really:f) all of the above.'I fell in love with McConigley's fierce, wry narrator Georgie Ayyar from the first page and couldn't stop reading. A powerful, groundbreaking book' JESSAMINE CHAN, author of THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS'Inventive and captivating . . . Full of heart and soul, this is a knockout work that deftly tackles the complex bonds of friendship and family' AIMEE NEZHUKUMATATHIL, author of WORLD OF WONDERS'Spirited and witty, stylish and audacious' MEGHA MAJUMDAR, author of A BURNING

How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder

Ariadne Literaturbibliothek

Bei Doris Gercke, Grande Dame des politischen Kriminalromans, waren Fiktion und Realität eng miteinander verschlungen. Die Arbeit an Texten hat sie so sehr geliebt wie das Lesen und hätte gern noch mehr geschrieben, wir gern mehr verlegt, doch zuletzt fehlte ihr die Zeit. Ihre verbliebenen paar Texte gab sie uns kurz vor dem Tod: ein Hefter, teils handschriftlich, betitelt mit den Worten Von den Bewohnern der Städte. Es sind kurze Szenen, einige Prosagedichte, auch drei Geschichten dabei. Ihr finsterer Realismus, nüchtern und unbotmäßig, nie humor- oder zahnlos, schimmert in allen Formen durch, der vertraute, entschiedene Ton hallt nach.

Von den Bewohnern der Städte

"An astounding achievement." --Megha Majumdar, bestselling author of A Burning "Her best book yet." --Paul Yoon, award-winning author of Run Me to Earth From the bestselling author of Mary Coin comes a rich family saga set in midcentury America centered on two fierce and competitive matriarchs whose intertwined lives reflect the complexities of family, tradition, and personal ambition, told with "Silver's signature combination of toughness and grace" (Laird Hunt, bestselling author of Zorrie).Helene Simonauer and Evelyn Turner are two formidable women whose paths cross when their children marry. Both women are sharp, cunning, and unwavering in their conflicting beliefs about marriage, responsibility, and family and, most pressingly, their efforts to vie for the love of their shared granddaughter. Weaving together the lives of Helene and Evelyn--from their vastly different childhoods through the pivotal events that define them--At Last paints a vivid portrait of the American Midwest, capturing the essence of a time and place where societal norms and personal aspirations often clashed. Both intimate and expansive while capturing the complexities of ambition and love with humor and insight, At Last is a testament to what happens when an unintended, even unwanted relationship turns out to be a central one that defines a life.
