    Title: Shred Sisters: A Novel
    Author: Betsy Lerner
    Narrator: Rebecca Lowman
    Format: Unabridged Audiobook
    Length: 7 hours 31 minutes
    Release date: October 1, 2024
    Genres: Literary Fiction
    Publisher's Summary:
    From Betsy Lerner, celebrated author of The Bridge Ladies, comes a wry and riveting debut novel about family, mental illness, and a hard-won path between two sisters. It is said that when one person in a family is unstable, the whole family is destabilized. Meet the Shreds. Olivia is the sister in the spotlight until her stunning confidence becomes erratic and unpredictable, a hurricane leaving people wrecked in her wake. Younger sister Amy, cautious and studious to the core, believes in facts, proof, and the empirical world. None of that explains what’s happening to Ollie, whose physical beauty and charisma mask the mental illness that will shatter Amy’s carefully constructed life. As Amy comes of age and seeks to find her place—first in academics, then New York publishing, and through a series of troubled relationships—every step brings collisions with Ollie, who slips in and out of the Shred family without warning. Yet for all that threatens their sibling bond, Amy and Ollie cannot escape or deny the inextricable sister knot that binds them. Spanning two decades, Shred Sisters is an intimate and bittersweet story exploring the fierce complexities of sisterhood, mental health, loss, and love. If anything is true it’s what Amy learns on her to self-acceptance: No one will love you more or hurt you more than a sister.

    Publisher's Summary:
    A beautifully written short story collection that charts the lives of racialized women as they navigate their relationships, aspirations, and the burdens of memory and expectations “Sharply observed and gracefully told, this is a collection shining with all the unexpected delights and defeats that make up a life.” — Anuja Varghese, author of Chrysalis The wife who uses the name of her white husband in public. The mother who cleans the small-town hospital while her daughter moves to the city to forget their shared past. The well-behaved teen girl who anxiously watches her older sister slip further and further away from their hovering parents. Each of these characters is both familiar and singular, reminding us of women we have been, of our mothers and daughters, neighbors and adversaries. Kirti Bhadresa is a keen observer of humanity, especially of the BIPOC women whose domestic and professional work is the backbone of late-stage capitalism but whose lives receive so little attention in mainstream culture. An Astonishment of Stars is a collection that sees those who are unseen and cuts to the heart of contemporary womanhood, community collisions, and relationships both chosen and forced upon us.

    Publisher's Summary:
    A subtle and intimate accounting of a daughter's final days with her mother, set amid the rush of Tokyo's red-light district. Drawing on her own experiences as a hostess and adult film actor, Gifted—Suzumi Suzuki's first novel to be translated into English—offers a nuanced, frank, and intimate portrayal of the lives of a mother and daughter getting by (or not) in an industry rarely depicted authentically in literary fiction. In the last days of her mother's life, a young woman living in Tokyo's red-light district is thrust into a split existence. By day, she negotiates her new role as caregiver of an abusive parent. By night, she drifts home from the hospital, goes out with other sex-workers, thinks about quitting smoking, and numbly remembers Eri, a friend who died the summer before. Her sensitivity to the details of her surroundings grounds an otherwise unstable world, one where each interaction requires a subtle negotiation of economic and sexual power, and proximity rarely means intimacy or connection. Contains mature themes.

    Publisher's Summary:
    'Déjenla seguir viviendo del piano y de la música, donde se mueve feliz. Es ahí donde se abren las puertas que se le cerraron cuando, engañada, se embarcó en aquel barco que fue su perdición. Mamá les enseñó el piano, y a tocar ella aprendió más rápido que Raquel. En todo era más avezada que su hermana. Por ejemplo: siendo menor fue la primera en descubrir a las rameras de Liverpool. ¿Ves esas mujeres?, buscan hombres. ¿Para qué?, preguntaba Raquel. Para hacer cosas. ¿Qué cosas? Unas que se hacen adentro de la cama.' Nancy, una joven inglesa de clase baja, es trasladada en barco desde Liverpool hasta Punta Arenas, donde vive un ganadero austríaco a quien fue vendida como esposa. El paisaje de la Patagonia argentina y sus personajes son nuevos para ella: mineros, hombres de campo, loberos, prestamistas y prostitutas pueblan estas páginas y se mueven alrededor de un objetivo: el dinero. Los hombres se entregan a él, las mujeres son mercancía. En Un piano en Bahía Desolación, publicado en 1994, trece años después de su obra más reconocida, Río de las congojas, Libertad Demitrópulos nos ofrece un friso de una región y una época, marcada por la consolidación del Estado-nación argentino y la instauración de un modelo económico agroexportador, pero también por la violencia hacia las mujeres y los pactos patriarcales.'
