Clover's life is a beautiful mess, and she's not quite sure how to untangle it.

Add to this the heartbreak of losing her platonic soulmate, Elliot, in a tragic accident, and you have a recipe for a walk on the wild side of grief. Enter Reese, the college bestie, spirited yoga studio owner with a knack for quirky pep talks and a rebel heart straight out of a rock band. When Reese encourages Clover to take an escapade to Franklin-an enchanting town where coffee flows freely and friendships spark like fireworks-Clover is thrown into a whirlwind of unexpected connections, including Sadie, a kind-hearted single mom with a penchant for dark roast, and Everett, Elliot's younger brother who is just as charming (if not cheeky!). Facing life-altering decisions while haunted by ghostly glimpses of Elliot, Clover begins to question everything.

Summary:
Tittle-tattle. Hearsay. Rumours. Bitching. Tea. Call it what you will: the fact remains that gossip is entwined into our daily lives. From group WhatsApp chats to click-bait headlines, social media snooping to reality television, there is nothing more devilishly delicious, scandalous, and satisfying than a juicy piece of gossip. All-too-often dismissed as the pastime of silly schoolgirls and bored housewives, there's more to gossip than meets the eye. In today's world of misinformation, where the voices and stories of women are being silenced, gossip has the power to shatter reputations and destroy credibility. Yet it can also be a vital political tool; a communication style that strengthens relationships and can even act as a life-saving measure. Tracing gossip's roots from old wives' tales and the witch trials to reality TV, whisper networks and defamation lawsuits, Beyond Belief asks, have we lost the ability to listen; to hear, and to believe women who speak up and speak out? A joyous reclamation of women's words, this book is for anyone who's ever uttered the words, 'You won't believe this…'

Summary:
Introducing an eloquent, sensual new Canadian voice that rings out in a first novel that is exquisitely rich and stunningly original. Roop is a sixteen-year-old village girl in the Punjab region of undivided India in 1937 whose family is respectable but poor -- her father is deep in debt and her mother has died. Innocent and lovely, yet afraid she may not marry well, she is elated when she learns she is to become the second wife of a wealthy Sikh landowner, Sardarji, whose first wife, Satya, has failed to bear him any children. Roop trusts that the strong-willed Satya will treat her as a sister, but their relationship becomes far more ominous and complicated than expected. Roop's tale draws the listener immediately into her world, making the exotic familiar and the family's story startlingly universal, but What the Body Remembers is also very much Satya's story. She is mortified and angry when Sardarji takes Roop for a wife, a woman whose low status Satya takes as an affront to her position, and she adopts desperate measures to maintain her place in society and in her husband's heart.

Publisher: Dreamscape Media
Release date: 02-10-2026
Language: English

Summary:
An elegantly inventive debut novel that offers a sharp new take on the immigrant story in post–9/11 America. Told as a series of conversations, Optional Practical Training follows Pavitra, a young Indian woman who came to the US for college from Bangalore, India, and graduates in 2006 with a degree in physics. Her student visa grants her an extra twelve months in the country for work experience—a period known as Optional Practical Training—so she takes a position as a math and physics teacher at a private high school near Cambridge, Massachusetts. What Pavitra really wants, though, is the time and space to finish a novel—to diverge from what’s expected of her within her family of white-collar professionals and to build a life as a writer. Navigating her year of OPT—looking for a room to rent, starting her job—she finds that each person she encounters expects something from her too.

Resumen:
LA HISTORIA DE UNA FAMILIA ATENAZADA POR LA CULPA, LA TRAICIÓN Y LA LOCURA. UNA AUTORA ACLAMADA POR LA CRÍTICA INTERNACIONAL. «Una escritura tensa y compleja como la de Coetzee». The New York Times «Escritura seca, concisa, directa, de una fuerza expresiva extraordinaria. [...] Sencillamente magistral». Fernando Aramburu, El Mundo - La Esfera de Papel En la casa familiar de La Araira, donde ocho hermanas conviven bajo la sombra de una madre devastada y una estirpe carcomida, cada silencio es una amenaza. La séptima de ellas, Nazarena, barre obsesivamente el patio para ahuyentar las desgracias, pero es en el polvo donde se abren las grietas: las rivalidades de las hermanas, los muertos que regresan, el deseo como huida, los animales que presagian desastres y un pasado que se encarna en visiones y terror.

Language: Portuguese

Summary:
Neste romance de estreia arrebatador, Dia Bárbara Nobre se baseia em histórias reais para criar Urânia, um povoado no Nordeste do Brasil que se transforma, sob a proteção do espírito de uma jovem assassinada, em refúgio para mulheres em situação de abuso e violência. Fugindo do passado, Teresa encontra por acaso o pequeno povoado de Urânia, que logo se revela uma terra nutrida de sangue. A forasteira não sabe, mas, reza a lenda, a cidade esconde uma mitológica serpente de fogo, que há séculos descansa em um buraco fechado por uma grande pedra. A região agora abriga um entreposto comercial bem-sucedido, graças aos esforços e talentos de Abigail, uma mulher que buscava recomeçar a vida livre das amarras do pai rigoroso e da submissão esperada do casamento. Ali ela estabelece uma pequena sociedade matriarcal, onde tudo cresce e dá frutos, e nada sai de seu controle — exceto a filha, Hermínia. A jovem, enfeitiçada pelo amor de um homem perverso, se entrega a um relacionamento que, por ciúmes, culminará com sua morte violenta.

Idioma: Español

Resumen:
Una mujer atraviesa la menopausia y sobrevive para contarlo. «Empapada. Los muslos, los brazos, el pecho, el cuello, la cara, el nacimiento del pelo, la nuca. Terminaba pateando las sábanas, las frazadas, las medias. Después, aparecía el insomnio, las catástrofes inminentes en medio de la noche». Una mujer se despierta por las noches con mucho frío en los pies para, un rato más tarde, sentir un calor impúdico. Migrañas, cambios de humor, cólera, una lista de síntomas desordenados que no parecen responder a nada específico; el cuerpo se le vuelve desconocido. Los encuentros con los hombres y con otras mujeres parecen ahora signados por un desafío vital e inesperado, mudar la vieja piel. Diario de una mudanza, el nuevo libro de Inés Garland, narra esa etapa de cambios en la vida de las mujeres atravesadas por mandatos atávicos. Aparece una nueva manera de leer y se revela una trama de escrituras propias y ajenas que da cuenta de los prejuicios, pudores, silencios, cegueras históricas y batallas en busca del sentido necesario para atravesar ese desafío. Este es el diario de una mudanza que arrasa con la vieja identidad y propone una vida inesperada. Please Note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Follow the Migliore family as they flee the devastation and corruption of Italy after WWII and seek a better life in far away Argentina. Told in first person as the memories of a 14 year old girl, the adult Julietta recounts in Departing War's Despair, her youthful hopes for a brighter future, only to discover that she and her family have escaped the legacy of Mussolini's Italian fascism to face the reality of Peron's repressive Argentine regime. Woven throughout this first intriguing novel and each of the two successive books to follow is the fascinating true story of stolen priceless jewels, as well as the role the Vatican played on two continents to help those still devoted to Hitler to escape justice and the rebuilding of their dream of a Nazi world in a corrupt Argentina. Julietta's early awareness of injustice and deception leads her as an adult to become a world famous photojournalist, and her beloved brother a Superior Court justice. Supported by her family and friends, she seeks to find the truth of what is real in a world of lies and illusions that still shatters the way we see the world today.

Zusammenfassung:
Ein Roman wie ein stiller Begleiter–voller Wärme, Trost und Hoffnung. Als Elin das Haus ihrer Großmutter an der Küste erbt, glaubt sie zunächst nicht, dass sie lange bleiben wird. Doch zwischen salziger Luft, vergessenen Postkarten und einem alten Boot, das zerbrochen in einer Bucht liegt, spürt sie, dass etwas in ihr ins Leben zurückkehrt. Mit der Hilfe des Bootsbauers Hinnerk, der an ihrer Seite das Wrack wieder aufrichtet, wächst auch in Elin der Mut, eigene Brüche zu heilen und sich auf eine Nähe einzulassen, die sie nicht gesucht hat–und vielleicht gerade deshalb findet. Ein leises Buch, das Zuversicht schenkt–für Zeiten des Abschieds, für Neubeginne oder einfach als kleine Erinnerung daran, dass Heilung immer möglich ist. Für alle, die Geschichten voller Wärme, Tiefe und leiser Poesie lieben–wie Der Gesang der Flusskrebse oder Über dem Meer tanzt das Licht. Please Note: This audiobook is in German.

Summary:
Take a moment to stop, gaze, and appreciate the beauty of Wiradjuri Country, where three rivers wind through vast, burnt-red plains dotted with ochre. This is Wiradjuri Ngurambang, our land, and has been for thousands of years. It's home to Gugaa, the fierce protector of Wiradjuri Country, and Maliyan, guardian of the skies. This sacred place, where the eagle soars above, ensures that all is well and in order on Wiradjuri land. As I look around, I see yellow-bellied Murray Cod swimming in the waters, kangaroos bounding across the plains, and birds everywhere – kookaburras, cockatoos, and magpies. My heart feels close to home. Walking up the red dirt path, I push through the rickety gate and step onto the vast open veranda. Inside, the bare dirt floors are sprinkled with my tiny footprints, leading me to Canowindra Ngurambangga. Here, I am home – home to my great aunties, Auntie Alice and Auntie Mary, our formidable Tup and Dung. These lively matriarchal sisters, strong and determined yet soft and kind, are always glad to see me. Now, it feels as if I am truly home again.
