Publisher's Summary:

From Shion Miura, the award-winning author of The Great Passage, comes a rapturous novel where the contemporary and the traditional meet amid the splendor of Japan’s mountain way of life. Yuki Hirano is just out of high school when his parents enroll him, against his will, in a forestry training program in the remote mountain village of Kamusari. No phone, no internet, no shopping. Just a small, inviting community where the most common expression is “take it easy.” At first, Yuki is exhausted, fumbles with the tools, asks silly questions, and feels like an outcast. Kamusari is the last place a city boy from Yokohama wants to spend a year of his life. But as resistant as he might be, the scent of the cedars and the staggering beauty of the region have a pull. Yuki learns to fell trees and plant saplings. He begins to embrace local festivals, he’s mesmerized by legends of the mountain, and he might be falling in love. In learning to respect the forest on Mt. Kamusari for its majestic qualities and its inexplicable secrets, Yuki starts to appreciate Kamusari’s harmony with nature and its ancient traditions. In this warm and lively coming-of-age story, Miura transports us from the trappings of city life to the trials, mysteries, and delights of a mythical mountain forest.

Wenn du glaubst, dass man dich nicht lieben kann - und jemand es trotzdem tut. Einfühlsam, fesselnd und wunderbar romantisch erzählt Alicia Zett die Liebesgeschichte von Marie und Fynn. Die zwanzigjährige Studentin Marie ist in ihren stillen Kommilitonen Fynn verliebt, und auch Fynn empfindet für Marie mehr, als er sich selbst eingestehen will. Denn eigentlich lässt Fynn niemanden an sich heran: Keiner soll wissen, dass er trans ist. Einen wie ihn kann man nicht lieben, meint er. Doch dann finden sich Fynn und Marie unversehens mit einigen Freunden auf einem Roadtrip nach Italien wieder. Langsam kommen die beiden einander näher, das Mittelmeer als Ziel vor Augen. Jetzt muss Fynn sich entscheiden, wie viel er Marie anvertrauen kann, ohne sie für immer zu verlieren ... Der romantische New-Adult-Roman 'Not Your Type' erzählt von einem Menschen, der erst lernen muss, dass er es wert ist, geliebt zu werden - so, wie er ist. Die Autorin Alicia Zett weiß, wovon sie schreibt: Sie ist seit mehreren Jahren in der LGBT-Community aktiv und spricht auf ihren Social-Media-Kanälen mal auf ernste, mal auf humorvolle Weise über die Themen, die ihre Follower bewegen.

Genres: Coming of Age

Publisher's Summary:

Karl Meyer ist Zahnarzt und führt ein durch und durch bürgerliches Leben. Doch als sein erst achtzehnjähriger Sohn Ole-Jakob Suizid begeht, droht es die Familie zu zerreißen. Karls Frau Eva steht unter Schock, die Tochter Stine verstummt. Auch Karl ist in seiner Trauer gefangen. Er denkt zurück an sein Kind, vor allem aber an das, was die Familie schon vor dessen Tod auf eine Belastungsprobe stellte: Karls Liebschaft mit der deutlich jüngeren Mona. Ist es diese Affäre, die Ole-Jakob in den Tod getrieben hat? Die Schuldfrage steht im Raum - und Karl läuft davon. Er begibt sich auf eine Reise in die Slowakei. Dort hofft er, Erlösung zu finden: in einem Haus, in dem man, so heißt es, mit seinen tiefsten Ängsten konfrontiert wird - und das man entweder gebrochen oder geheilt verlässt. 'Durch die Nacht' ist die Anatomie eines Trauerprozesses und ein Buch, das unter die Haut geht. Stig Sæterbakken schont seine Hörer nicht. Dieses so dringlich erzählte Höbuch schildert die Abgründe, die in uns allen lauern, und wie leicht wir die verletzen, die uns nahe stehen.
