Publisher's Summary:

ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2022 * An NPR and Time Best Book of the Year * Longlisted for the 2022 Scotiabank Giller Prize (Canada) * Finalist for CALIBA’s 2022 Golden Poppy Awards A successful art dealer confesses the story of his meteoric rise in this “powerful, intoxicating, and shocking” (The New York Times) novel that’s a “slow burn à la Patricia Highsmith” (Oprah Daily). “You’ll struggle not to rip through in one sitting” (Vogue). In a first-class lounge at JFK airport, our narrator listens as Jeff Cook, a former classmate he only vaguely remembers, shares the uncanny story of his adult life—a life that changed course years before, the moment he resuscitated a drowning man. Jeff reveals that after that traumatic, galvanizing morning on the beach, he was compelled to learn more about the man whose life he had saved, convinced that their fates were now entwined. But are we agents of our fate—or are we its pawns? Upon discovering that the man is renowned art dealer Francis Arsenault, Jeff begins to surreptitiously visit his Beverly Hills gallery. Although Francis does not seem to recognize him as the man who saved his life, he nevertheless casts his legendary eye on Jeff and sees something worthy. He takes the younger man under his wing, initiating him into his world, where knowledge, taste, and access are currency; a world where value is constantly shifting and calling into question what is real, and what matters. The paths of the two men come together and diverge in dizzying ways until the novel’s staggering ending. Sly, suspenseful, and “gloriously addicting” (BuzzFeed), Mouth to Mouth masterfully blurs the line between opportunity and exploitation, self-respect and self-delusion, fact and fiction—exposing the myriad ways we deceive each other, and ourselves.

Release date: January 11, 2022

Genres: Psychological

Publisher's Summary:

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORKER AND NPR Through the scrim of fading memory, an elderly woman confronts a lifetime of secrets and betrayal, under the mysterious skies of her island home Off the coast of Georgia, near Savannah, generations have been tempted by strange blue lights in the sky near an island called Lyra. At the height of WWII, impressionable young Elle Ranier leaves New York City to forge a new life together on the island with her new husband, Simon. There they will live for decades, raising a family while waging a quixotic campaign to find the source of the mysterious blue offshore light—and the elusive minerals rumored to lurk beneath the surface. Fifty years later,  Elle looks back at her life on the mysterious island—and at a secret she herself has guarded for decades. As her memory recedes into the mists of Alzheimer’s disease, her life seems a tangle of questions: How did her husband’s business, now shuttered, survive so long without ever finding the legendary Lyra stones? How did her own life crumble under treatment for depression? And what became of Gabriel—the handsome, raffish other man who came to the island with them and risked everything to follow the lights? Darkly romantic and deeply haunting, The Stars Are Not Yet Bells pulls us into a story of the tantalizing, faithless relationship between ourselves and the lives and souls we leave behind.

Title: [Spanish] - Las vencedoras

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1

Genres: Psychological

Publisher's Summary:

Un himno a la solidaridad y a la esperanza donde Colombani da voz a las vencedoras anónimas de la historia. A los cuarenta años, Solène lo ha sacrificado todo por su carrera como abogada: sus sueños, sus amigos y sus amores, hasta que un día se derrumba y se sume en una profunda depresión. Para ayudarla a recuperarse, su médico le aconseja que haga tareas de voluntariado. Poco convencida, Solène encuentra por internet un anuncio que despierta su curiosidad y decide interesarse por él. Enviada a un hogar para mujeres con grave riesgo de exclusión social, tiene problemas para relacionarse con las residentes, que se muestran distantes y esquivas; pero poco a poco irá ganando su confianza y descubrirá hasta qué punto desea estar tan viva como ellas. Un siglo antes, Blanche Peyron libra un combate. Comandante del Ejército de Salvación en Francia, abriga el sueño de ofrecer un techo a todas las excluidas de la sociedad. Con ese fin, en 1925 comienza a recaudar los fondos necesarios para comprar un hotel monumental, y un año después el Palacio de la Mujer abre sus puertas. El Palacio de la Mujer existe y Las vencedoras nos invita a entrar en él para descubrir la dura realidad de sus habitantes. Con el mismo estilo de La trenza, Laetitia Colombani borda un emotivo canto a la fuerza de las mujeres que nos habla de pérdidas y sufrimientos, de bondad y fraternidad, que nos seduce por su empatía y nos acerca vívidamente a la trágica existencia de esas personas invisibles para la sociedad. La crítica ha dicho... «'Una mujer sin hogar es una presa; mientras los hombres se reagrupan, las mujeres prefieren quedarse solas y esconderse, principalmente porque tienen miedo'. De ahí la importancia de un lugar como el descrito en la novela [el Palacio de la Mujer], donde se muestran las interacciones entre las internas que allí viven, para las que la hermandad y la solidaridad son valores fundamentales. Un retrato que Colombani pinta conexquisitez, pero sin caer en la sensiblería ni en escabrosidad alguna. Una auténtica delicia para los sentidos.» Ángeles López, La Razón «Las vencedoras es un relato que nos recuerda que existen los pobres. Y de todos ellos, existen los que son los más marginados y desprotegidos, las mujeres. No era sencillo escribir algo así sin caer enla sensiblería. Colombani hace de su novela la única luz posible al final del túnel.» J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Correo «Con un método parecido al de La trenza, Laetitia Colombani entrelaza dos narraciones que confluyen en una historia común: la de dos figuras excepcionales que provocan admiración entre las mujeres corrientes que necesitan identificarse con ellas.» Paris Match «Laetitia Colombani posee la elegancia que confiere la humildad. A pesar del éxito de La trenza, aborda con serenidad la publicación de su segunda novela, en la queel feminismo está en el centro mismo de la narración. [...] Una oda a la fraternidad de las mujeres.» Le Parisien

Publisher's Summary:

De Angelis, an inscrutable northerner, is travelling to a small town perched in Sicily's hinterland to negotiate a real estate transaction, only to find himself embroiled in a criminal conspiracy. While en route, the train he's on mysteriously breaks down, forcing him to spend the night in a squalid whistle stop. What follows is a web of unsettling events, involving child prostitution and brazen killings. And at the heart of it: an alluring blue-eyed girl, Marinella. The chance encounter with the eleven-year-old traps him in a psychological and moral cul-de-sac, leaving him no choice but to confront the type of man he really is. Told in a cinematic, darkly humorous genre-bending prose, The Transaction traces De Angelis' Kafkaesque descent into deviancy.

When Sloane takes a job at the infamous whitewater-rafting camp Widow Falls, she quickly learns that the camp has a reputation for more than just summer fun. People go missing at Widow Falls. The guide she’s replacing was just one of many. As Sloane settles into her new home—a one-room apartment she’ll be sharing with the five other guides—she can’t help asking questions and digging into the disappearances she’s heard about. Her new roommates tell her stories of dark legends and dangerous folklore surrounding the secluded camp but assure her there’s nothing to worry about. It’s all just superstition. When Sloane stumbles upon a clue and a secret message hidden beneath the floorboards of their loft, she begins to realize there may be more to the myths than she’s been told. The message gets her attention: Don’t trust anyone at Widow Falls. As she follows clues to better understand the missing guide she replaced, Sloane can’t help noticing the similarities between the two of them. Whatever’s happening at Widow Falls, it’s clear someone doesn’t want her digging into it. As the seams of her reality are torn apart, making her question everything, Sloane has to uncover the truth about the camp—and its occupants—before someone else goes missing.

Title: [Portuguese] - Perfeitamente inadequado

Author: Thays Lessa

Narrator: Thays Lessa

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 22 minutes

Release date: December 13, 2021

Genres: Psychological

Publisher's Summary:

Quando a mudança começa de dentro, o de fora também jamais será o mesmo. INADEQUADA era a palavra que mais me descrevia. Desde muito cedo eu lutei contra a ideia do não pertencimento, de que eu não era suficiente, ou que eu tivesse vindo com defeito. Usei várias 'armas' para tentar lidar com esse sentimento. Muitas vezes corri para o distúrbio alimentar ou para as máscaras de camuflagem. Ninguém podia perceber que eu não era o que pensavam. Eu era a Thays, e por algum motivo eu achava isso um verdadeiro insulto. Nesta longa (e acredito que quase eterna jornada, descobri na vulnerabilidade as ferramentas que me libertaram do medo da autenticidade e que me fizeram abraçar não só a mim, mas os inúmeros inadequados que existiam ao meu redor. Eu convido você a embarcar nessa viagem. Do outro lado do muro da insegurança existe um lugar novo para você: ser quem é! Este livro é pra você que já sentiu que não pertencia a lugar algum. Pra você que por muitos dias e muitas noites rejeitou a própria essência por achar que não era suficiente. Pra você que foi calado pela comparação. Que foi rejeitado. Que já usou máscaras para camuflar sua identidade. Pra você que foi perfeitamente criado – da forma mais inadequada possível!

Publisher's Summary:

In this “riveting, atmospheric thriller that messes with your mind in the best way” (Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author), three residents of a secluded, seemingly peaceful commune investigate the disappearances of two outsiders. Travis Wren has an unusual talent for locating missing people. Often hired by families as a last resort, he takes on the case of Maggie St. James—a well-known author of dark, macabre children’s books—and is soon led to a place many believed to be only a legend. Called Pastoral, this reclusive community was founded in the 1970s by like-minded people searching for a simpler way of life. By all accounts, the commune shouldn’t exist anymore and soon after Travis stumbles upon it…he disappears. Just like Maggie St. James. Years later, Theo, a lifelong member of Pastoral, discovers Travis’s abandoned truck beyond the border of the community. No one is allowed in or out, not when there’s a risk of bringing a disease—rot—into Pastoral. Unraveling the mystery of what happened reveals secrets that Theo, his wife, Calla, and her sister, Bee, keep from one another. Secrets that prove their perfect, isolated world isn’t as safe as they believed—and that darkness takes many forms. “As spine-chilling as it is beautifully crafted” (Ruth Emmie Lang, author of Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance), A History of Wild Places is a story about fairy tales, our fear of the dark, and losing yourself within the wilderness of your mind.
