Publisher's Summary:

A tunnel, a light, a door. And beyond it...the unimaginable.

Dr. Joanna Lander is a psychologist specializing in near-death experiences. She is about to get help from a new doctor with the power to give her the chance to get as close to death as anyone can.

A brilliant young neurologist, Dr. Richard Wright has come up with a way to manufacture the near-death experience using a psychoactive drug. Joannas first NDE is as fascinating as she imagined so astounding that she knows she must go back, if only to find out why that place is so hauntingly familiar.

But each time Joanna goes under, her sense of dread begins to grow, because part of her already knows why the experience is so familiar, and why she has every reason to be afraid. Yet just when Joanna thinks she understands, shes in for the biggest surprise of all a shattering scenario that will keep you feverishly reading until the final climactic page.

Critic Reviews:

A true heir to John Donne, Kurt Gödel and Preston Sturges, a wit with a common touch whos read more great books, and makes better use of them in her work, than two or three lit professors put together. (

Newsday)

Willis has developed an idea that bears all the authority of a genuine insight: disturbingly plausible, compelling, intensely moving, and ultimately uplifting. (

Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review)

Thoughtful, often fascinating ... Willis makes Landers journeys into the afterworld increasingly frightening and compelling." (

Chicago Tribune)

Publisher's Summary:

O que acontece quando um diário perdido cai nas mos da pessoa certa? Catando mariscos na praia de uma remota ilha do Canadá, a escritora Ruth se depara com um saco plástico coberto de cracas que envolve uma lancheira da Hello Kitty. Dentro, encontra o livro de Marcel Proust, Em busca do tempo perdido, e se surpreende ao descobrir que na verdade se trata do diário da menina japonesa, Nao. A sacola misteriosa, segundo os rumores dos habitantes, é mais um dos vestígios do último tsunami que devastou o Japo, e foi levada até a ilha pelas correntezas. Desde ento, Ruth se deixa absorver pela história do diário de Nao, uma menina que, para escapar de sua dura realidade, resolve passar seus últimos dias lendo as cartas de seu bisavô, um falecido piloto kamikaze da Segunda Guerra Mundial, e relembrando a vida de sua avó, uma monja budista de 104 anos. O que Ruth no esperava era que o diário a levaria ao encontro de Nao, em uma viagem fora do tempo e do espaço.

Critic Reviews:

"Uma obra muito bem escrita sobre perdas e os elos incompreensíveis que unem nossas vidas. Amei." (Elizabeth Gilbert, autora do livro mais vendido Comer, rezar e amar)

"Magnífico.... So personagens que nos tocam profundamente e nos do liçes de vida, através da magia de contar histórias. Uma obra-prima, pura e simplesmente." (Kirkus Reviews)

"A voz de Nao Yasutani, uma estudante de dezesseis anos, é o coraço e a alma deste livro muito gratificante. O estilo japonês contemporâneo e o uso do realismo mágico lembram o autor Haruki Murakami." (USA Today)

Publisher's Summary:

A major debut from an award-winning writer - an epic family saga set against the magic and the rhythms of the Virgin Islands.

In the early 1900s an important ship sinks into the Caribbean Sea, just as the Virgin Islands are transferred from Danish to American rule. Orphaned by the sunk vessel are two sisters and their half-brother, now faced with an uncertain identity and future. Each of them is unusually beautiful, and each is in possession of a particular magic that will either sink or save them.

Chronicling three generations of an island family from 1916 to the 1970s, Land of Love and Drowning is a novel of love and magic, set against the emergence of Saint Thomas into the modern world. Wholly unique, with echoes of Toni Morrison, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and the author's own Caribbean family history, the story is told in a language and rhythm that evokes an entire world and way of life and love. Following the Bradshaw family through 60 years of fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, love affairs, curses, magical gifts, loyalties, births, deaths, and triumphs, Land of Love and Drowning is a gorgeous, vibrant debut by an exciting, prize-winning young writer.

Publisher's Summary:

Haris Abadi is a man in search of a cause. An Arab American with a conflicted past, he is now in Turkey, attempting to cross into Syria and join the fight against Bashar al-Assad's regime. But he is robbed before he can make it, and is taken in by Amir, a charismatic Syrian refugee and former revolutionary, and Amir's wife, Daphne, a sophisticated beauty haunted by grief. As it becomes clear that Daphne is also desperate to return to Syria, Haris's choices become ever more wrenching: Whose side is he really on? Is he a true radical or simply an idealist? And will he be able to bring meaning to a life of increasing frustration and helplessness? Told with compassion and a deft hand, Dark at the Crossing is an exploration of loss, of second chances, and of why we choose to believe - a trenchantly observed novel of raw urgency and power.
