Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A NEW EDITION TO TIE IN WITH THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FILM DIRECTED BY MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL, STARRING OLIVIA COLMAN, DAKOTA JOHNSON AND PAUL MESCAL From the international bestselling author of MY BRILLIANT FRIEND Leda is devoted to her work as an English teacher and to her two children. When her da…ughters leave home to be with their father in Canada, Leda anticipates a period of loneliness and longing. Instead, slightly embarrassed by the sensation, she feels liberated, as if her life has become lighter, easier. She decides to take a holiday by the sea, in a small coastal town in southern Italy. But after a few days of calm and quiet, things begin to take a menacing turn. Leda encounters a family whose brash presence proves unsettling, at times even threatening. When a small, apparently meaningless, event occurs, Leda is overwhelmed by memories of the difficult and unconventional choices she made as a mother and their consequences for herself and her family. The seemingly serene tale of a womans pleasant rediscovery of herself soon becomes the story of a ferocious confrontation with an unsettled past. The Lost Daughter is a compelling and perceptive meditation on womanhood and motherhood, exploring the conflicting emotions that tie us to our children. 28M copies of Elena Ferrante's books sold worldwide. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

But is she seeing things as they really are? Where must she look to find her true reflection and a life she can claim as her own? Giovannas search leads her to two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity.

Set in a divided Naples, The Lying Life of Adults is a singular portrayal of the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Tuscany, November 1943. The village of Le Case is miles from any big city and remains rooted in an earlier century. Seen from Le Case, even the war looks differentmostly a matter of waiting, praying, and mourning. As a fierce winter threatens, an ominous order is issued by the local Fascist auth…orities: all Jews must be rounded up and detained in the bishops villa to await deportation. Rene is the towns cobbler. A loner, his only friend is the widow Anna, a woman with whom he has been secretly in love for years. When Annas son joins the Resistance but is soon killed by the Wehrmacht, the grieving woman vows to continue her sons mission. Rene later learns that a group of Resistance fighters has been ambushed and the survivors are imprisoned in the bishops villa. A woman is among them, they say, a grieving mother and former inhabitant of Le Case. Rene can no longer stand by and watch as his town, his country, and his one great love become victims of the Nazis and their Fascist enablers, and he decides to take action. Perhaps for the first time in his life. Based on the true story of a nefarious collaboration between the Catholic diocese of Grosseto and the Fascist authorities, The Bishops Villa is a masterful weaving together of fact and fiction by one of Italys most exciting young writers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A compelling novel about fatherhood and family, loyalty and betrayal, inheritance and belonging. "Magnificent."The Sunday Times Daniel is a queer journalist living in London. His relationships appear to be sexually fulfilling but sentimentally meagre. He has no relationships outside of sexual on…es, and can seem at once callow and, at times, cold to the point of cruel with his lovers. Emotionally distant from his elderly father, Daniel returns to South Africa to care for him during his final months. Following his fathers death, Daniel learns of an unusual clause in the old mans will: he will only inherit his half of his fathers estate once he has spent time with Theon, a cousin whom he hasnt seen since they were boys, who lives on the old family farm in the Free State. Once there, Daniel discovers that the young son of the woman Theon lives with is seriously ill. With the conditions bearing on Daniels inheritance shifting in real time, Theon and Daniel travel to Japan for an experimental cure and a voyage that will change their lives forever. S J Naudes masterful novel is many things at once: a literary page page-turner full of vivid, unexpected characters and surprising twists; a loving and at times shockingly raw portrayal of its protagonists complex psyche; and a devastatingly subtle look into South Africas fraught recent history. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. When Franck gets out after five years in jail, he expects to find the brother he protected with his silence.Instead, waiting for him is his brother Fabiens girlfriend.Jessica takes him to the gloomy country house where she lives with her cantankerous, hard-drinking parents, her eight-year old da…ughter who doesnt speak, hardly eats, and seems to be carrying a secret much bigger than herself and a large mastiff dog they all seem to fear. Time passes, Fabien doesnt return, and Franck is increasingly mystified by Jessicas behaviour, seductive at times, hostile at others. Nonetheless, Franck follows her around on her crazy nocturnal rounds until he finds himself with a gun pointed at his head.Its the beginning of a crescendo of retaliation in a gang war in which Franck believes he is participating, only to realize hes merely a sacrificial pawn.

SHORTLISTED: THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD LONGLISTED: WOMENS' PRIZE FOR FICTION 2022 A NOVEL OF DEVASTATING BEAUTY SET IN BUCHENWALD DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR "A powerful and disturbing study in terrible lies and the human need to believe them." ANNIE PROULX Moving away from their lovely apartmen…t in Munich isnt nearly as wrenching an experience for Frau Greta Hahn as she had feared. Their new home is even lovelier than the one they left behind and life in Buchenwald would appear to be idyllic. Lying just beyond the forest that surrounds them is the looming presence of a work camp. Frau Hahns husband, SS Sturmbannfuhrer Dietrich Hahn, has been assigned as the camps administrator. When Frau Hahns poor health leads her into an unlikely and poignant friendship with one of Buchenwalds prisoners, Dr Lenard Weber, her naive ignorance about what is going on so nearby is challenged. A decade earlier, Dr Weber had invented a machine believed that its subtle resonances might cure cancer. But does it really work? One way or another, it might save a life. A tour de force about the evils of obliviousness, Remote Sympathy compels us to question our continuing and wilful ability to look the other way in a world that is in thrall to the idea that everythingeven facts and moralsis relative. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A few years ago, Antoine Compagnon was asked to host a radio broadcast, every day for an entire summer, on a formidable subject: Michel de Montaigne. From that experience came this engaging and entertaining book, A Summer with Montaigne. An intelligent and thought-provoking treatise in forty cha…pters that will introduce readers unfamiliar with Montaigne to his unique brilliance and remind those who already know Montaignes work of its vitality, force, and enduring timeliness. Compagnon breathes life into the musings of Montaigne, approaching his subject not as the recluse many imagine him to have been, but rather a multi-faceted individual of complex thought and astonishing analytical prowess. Once the mayor of Bordeaux, Montaigne was a committed spirit of his time, advising his powerful contemporaries and always in touch with the questions and concerns of the moment, of which many remain pressing today. Composed over a period of twenty years, Montaignes Essays deal with timeless themes. From the problems posed by religion, war, power and friendship to humankinds ridiculous weaknesses, Montaignes Essays remain a moving commentary on what it means to be a human being in any age. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
