Harmel K: Meet Me in Paris

Meet Me in Paris

For fans of Elena Armas and Ali Hazelwood, an emotional second-chance romance set in small-town Massachusetts about best friends turned lovers whose past still threatens their future. Some loves destroy you. Some save you. Some do both. Alex thought that leaving her Massachusetts hometown for college would help her forget Jamie, the troubled boy who was her first friend, first kiss, and first heartbreak. But five years later, at twenty-three, she finds herself back home, staring at the same yellow shutters and red door, unable to outrun the past. Forced to attend her dreaded five-year high school reunion, Alex discovers an old journal hidden in her childhood bedroom. Over twenty-four hours, memories come flooding back: the spark of young love, Jamie’s chaotic family life, and the choices that shattered everything she thought she knew. But some secrets were never what they seemed. As Alex confronts the truth about Jamie and about herself, she must decide if love can’t change the past but might still rewrite her future. Poignant, nostalgic, and deeply emotional, The Enemy of Time is a love story about the ties that bind us, the ghosts we carry, and how a single moment can unravel everything you thought you knew about love, time, and fate.

The Enemy of Time

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

Set against an oppressive backdrop of political violence and natural disaster in Pakistan, Amna traces the class struggle of Tara, a woman trapped between province and metropolis, motherhood and ambition, who will risk everything to carve out a life of her own. Critically acclaimed, disquieting and utterly gripping.

Dough Guthrie betreibt eine Website namens Professor Romance, die als Idee aus einer Laune heraus auf einem Barhocker in Hollywood entstand. Nun ist Dough trocken und hat seine Dämonen besiegt. Er leitet ein erfolgreiches Unternehmen, das denen, die verzweifelt Frauen kennenlernen wollen, kein langes Rumgetue verspricht. Als Ghostwriter dahinter verdient Lance Bertovich seine Brötchen und berät zahlende Kunden wie z.B. Norman Bright, der als unauffälliger Angestellter eines biomedizinischen Unternehmens sein Dasein fristet und versucht, mit Hilfe des Professors die Zuneigung einer attraktiven Kollegin, Cynthia Collingsworth, zu gewinnen. Mit tödlichen Folgen, als der Fake durchschaut wird ...
Dear Professor Romance erinnert an den Klassiker der Beziehungsberatung, an Miss Lonelyhearts von Nathanael West. SaFrankos Roman beschwört dessen Zynismus und ist so etwas wie dessen Widerhall im 21. Jahrhundert.

The Heart You Kept

Madre e hijo frente a la belleza y la violencia que supone vivir en el Caribe.
Javi vive en una casa de madera encima de la ferretería que atiende su madre. Pero dependiendo del clima, de su abuelo, de los tiroteos o de la furia de su padre, la casa de Javi puede estar arriba o abajo. Arriba su madre se llama Pilar, abajo es una Chica Bombón; arriba su padre es una careta de soldar, abajo un fantasma; arriba Javi le cambia los pañales a su abuelo, abajo espanta pretendientes a su madre; arriba hace nieve frotando bloques de foam, abajo construye una playa con la arena que venden en sacos; arriba Javi es un niño cruel, abajo es un adolescente tierno; arriba es gringo y abajo puertorriqueño.
Escrita con una prosa limpia y exacta, Esto también es una casa es un tour de force entre un hijo y una madre, entre una casa y una ferretería, entre lo que tiene arreglo y lo que nunca lo tendrá, entre el dolor y la ternura, y entre la belleza y la violencia que implica vivir en el Caribe. 'En época de la casita de Bad Bunny, esta novela nos explica las vicisitudes de una clase social, víctima y a la vez protagonista, de los cambios sociales durante los últimos 70 años' (Edgardo Rodríguez).

Jeremy Cooper, the author of Brian, returns with Discord, a subjective journey through the world of classical music. On a night in August, an audience at the Royal Albert Hall attends the first ever concert of Distant Voices. The Proms performance is the culmination of a year's work between the middle-aged composer Rebekah Rosen and the young star-saxophonist Evie Bennet. Alternating between both perspectives, Discord charts the course of their intense and at times fractious relationship, the resonances and dissonances both women find within one another, as well as the struggles and satisfactions that accompany an artistic life. At the heart of the novel is an inquiry into the generative force behind creative collaboration. In what ways does the inexpressible - that amorphous space of friction and unity between musicians - become indelible? And by what process do flawed individuals create works of transcendence? Deeply insightful, at turns poignant and wry, Discord affirms Jeremy Cooper's status as one of the most interesting fiction writers at work today.

Charting the course of the intense and at times fractious relationship between&nbsp;middle-aged composer Rebekah Rosen and the young star-saxophonist Evie Bennet,&nbsp;Discord&nbsp;is a wry and insightful&nbsp;exploration of creative collaboration.

On the Calculation of Volume

We're a little more than halfway through Balle's hypnotic, monumental seven-volume novel about a woman set adrift within the walls of November 18th. Balle's riveting project continues to wring ever more fascinating dimensions from time and its hapless, mortal captives. In Book III we saw the addition of a handful of new characters to Tara's world-fellow travelers within November 18th-and now Book IV heralds the arrival of many others, and soon to be even more, roaming uncertainly through the same November day. Could this be the first stirrings of an alternate civilization? The big house in Bremen turns into the headquarters for this growing group of time-trapped individuals. But who are they and what has happened to them? Are they loopers, repeaters, or returners? A brilliant modern spin on the myth of Babel in the Book of Genesis, Book IV asks urgent questions, concerning the naming of things, of people, and of the functions of language itself-must a social movement have a common language in order to exist? Snatches of conversation, argument, and late-night chatter crowd onto the pages of Tara's notebooks. Amid the buzz and excitement of a new social order coming into being, Book IV ends with a sudden, unexpected, and tantalizing cliffhanger that no one-not even Tara, our steady cataloger and cartographer of the endless November day-could have foreseen.

The fourth installment of Balle's expansive, and highly ambitious On the Calculation of Volume teems with new faces, new people, and voices from every corner of the western world

Classic Tales of Christmas (Deluxe Leatherbound Edition)

Winner of the Orwell Prize Named a Best Book of the Year (So Far) by The New York Times From "the most talented writer of his generation" (Giles Harvey, The New York Times Magazine), a lightning flash of a novel that is at once a gripping emotional drama and a brilliant examination of the devices, digital and literary, we use to store-or to erase-our memories. The narrator of Ben Lerner's new novel has traveled to Providence, Rhode Island, where he is to conduct what will be the final published interview with Thomas, his ninety-year-old mentor and the father of his college friend Max. Thomas is a giant in the arts who seems to hail from the future and the past simultaneously and who reenchants the air when he speaks. But the narrator drops his smartphone in the hotel sink. He arrives at Thomas's house with no recording device, a fact he is mysteriously unable to confess. What unfolds from this dreamlike circumstance is the unforgettable story of the triangle formed by Thomas, Max, and the narrator, and an exploration of fathers and sons, male friendship and rivalry, and the challenges of parenting in a burning world. One of the first great novels about the early days of Covid, it is also a brilliant meditation on those technologies that enrich or impoverish our connection to one another, that store or obliterate memory. Full of startling insight, but summoning the intensity of a séance, Lerner's writing shows us how the air is full of messages, full of ghosts. Ultimately, Transcription demonstrates what only a work of fiction can record.

Penitence

"Say Yes to the Dress meets Rosemary's Baby" (Margie Sarsfield) in this fresh, darkly funny horror novel in which a woman finally agrees to marry the man of her mother’s dreams. . . only to discover that wedding planning will eat you alive.&nbsp; If Ophelia Cohen learned one thing from her parents, it’s that getting married is a bad idea.&nbsp;But if she’s learning anything from her widowed mother’s dementia, it’s that dying alone is worse. So when she meets Luke—the man of her mother’s dreams—marriage suddenly doesn’t seem so crazy. But none of Ophelia’s obsessive scrolling on wedding forums can prepare her for the nightmare of planning her own. Why is her mother-in-law going crazy over every detail? Why is Luke’s family so eager to host the wedding in their vineyard’s ancient chapel? And what exactly will Ophelia have to sacrifice if she and her mother both hope to survive her special day? Shot through with wicked humor, pitch-black horror, and unexpected romance,&nbsp;Until Death&nbsp;is a deliciously dark and funny send-up of the wedding industrial complex—and a mother-daughter story unlike any you’ve read before. "Recognizes the Gothic horror inherent to planning a wedding and creates from it a painfully incisive and genuinely haunting fever dream.” —Kay Chronister, author of The Bog Wife&nbsp; “Completely unique, deeply unnerving, and deviously funny.” —Samantha Allen, author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle “Grabbed me like a creeping vine and wouldn't let go." —Kerry Cullen, author of House of Beth “Glistens with humor and horror. An electrifying and affecting debut.” —Samantha Hunt, author of The Seas
