        Cult

        by Lyubko Deresh

        "Cult" is the first novel of the young author, which immediately became a hit among the readership to the extent that in some circles, as if justifying its title, became almost a cult. Youth life, relationships, slang, risky and funny games of teenagers, their attempts to get to "the other side of reality" at any price - this is all Deresh and one of his best books, which became a kind of summary of literary searches of the 90s of the 20th century

        Radio Night

        by Yurii Andrukhovych

        Andrukhovych’s hero, rock musician Joseph Rotsky, supported the revolution in his home country by being a "barricade pianist". Forced into exile, he earns his living playing salon music. In a Swiss hotel he is forced to perform for his country’s dictator. He throws an egg at him, accidentally killing him. After his release from prison, Rotsky retreats to the Carpathian Mountains, where he is soon found by secret service agents and other sinister characters who are out to get him. His escape takes him as far as Greece – with his raven Edgar and his lover Animé as his faithful companions. He ends up on a prison island on the prime meridian, where he hosts his own radio programme: "Radio Night" – his own label that allows him to broadcast music, poetry and good stories into a darkening world. Yurii Andrukhovych’s long awaited new novel, a revolutionary saga, biographical burlesque and agent thriller set against the backdrop of the immediate present – Andrukhovych pulls out all the artistic stops to counter the fears and real threats with the sovereignty of imagination. Radio Night received great acclaim from readers and critics alike.

        Who are you?

        by Artem Chekh

        “Who are you?” hears young Tymofyi from Feliks, his friend and foe, torturer and mentor, a man shell-shocked by a faraway war. “Who am I?” asks himself the almost-adult, autobiographical Tymofyi at the end of the novel. The road from the first question to the second is inevitable for any coming of age novel. In the case of Artem Chekh - coming of age in the shadow of repulsive experiences from a foreign war, which suddenly turns out to be only the mind and body’s training in preparation of a war of our own, though we won't find it in this novel. However, we are likely to find all those childish and youthful initiations, through which we all had to fight on our path towards adult lives that turn out to be unlike anything we had imagined.

        Ask Miechka

        by Eugenia Kuznetsova

        The story of “Ask Miechka” features four generations of women captured during one summer. Two sisters, Mia and Lilia, come to their “shelter”, their grandmother's old house where they have spent their childhood, in an attempt to put on hold their upcoming life-changing decisions: deciding on immigrating or staying, choosing between a reliable man or wild love. Their grandmother, Thea, is nearing the end of her life and her daughter and the sisters’ mother are fearful to take the place of the oldest woman in the family. The old house, overgrown with weeds, shrubs, and sprawling trees, seems to be frozen in time, lost in oblivion. Yet the sisters bring it back to life: new people come, new cats wander in, pumpkins are grown, and the porch is renovated. The house changes, along with the lives of the women who inhabit it as the summer nears its end. In her debut novel, Eugenia Kuznetsova told a deeply intimate story about the relations between sisters, mothers, and daughters. Vivid dialogues, when the most sensitive things remain unspoken, but somehow felt, define the atmosphere of the story, and highlight the unique ties existing between the generations of women in the family.

        Daughter

        by Tamara Horikha Zernia

        The events of the novel unfold in the spring and summer of 2014 in Donetsk. Donbas is a zeroing out point; it’s a place of strength where the country’s most important questions have sounded. And only there are the necessary answers hidden. It was here that the novel’s nameless heroine lost her family, home, job, and illusions, and it was here that she gathered up the fragments of her life and discovered new meaning and new support. Step by step the reader observes the process of transformation, the metamorphosis of a crop-sower into a warrior. Because war is when you eat the earth. So what’s more important than feeding the earth?

        Felix Austria

        by Sofia Andrukhovych

        The events of Felix Austria unfold in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Stanislav, present-day Ivano-Frankivsk — an ordinary city in the Reczposolita territories of Felix Austria (Austro-Hungarian Empire), whose residents live, suffer, inseparably fall in love, delight in science and the charlatan performances of world-renowned illusionists, seek amusement at balls and carnivals, shpatzir aroun their neighborhoods, and hide secrets in the carved wooden chests. And against the backdrop of an era that, for posterity, will become overgrown in myths about an idyllic way of life, arise the fates of two women, intertwined as closely as the trunks of two trees, who are bonded in an inextricable relationship that doesn’t allow them to live or breathe, stay or leave. Drama surrounded by the luxury and buzz of the beginning of the 20th sentury.

        Spirit Mates - The New Time Relationship

        by Anni Sennov, Carsten Sennov

        Most people have heard of the terms ‘soul mate’ and ‘twin soul’.  What most people may not yet know is that the concept of soul mate refers to a consciousness realm that is about to completely disappear from the Earth in order to be replaced by the purer and more powerful spirit energy. This is creating great changes in consciousness on Earth and it also means that we humans finally have the opportunity to join together with our spirit mate. In this book the co-authors and spirit mate couple Anni and Carsten Sennov describe with love and insight the different paths and circumstances that can lead you to your spirit mate.

        Eye of the Moon

        by Ivan Obolensky

        Built upon the fabric of the author’s background as a member of the 1%, yet woven from whole cloth, Eye of the Moon is an enchanting web of multigenerational intrigue, secret love affairs, sumptuous black- and white-tie dinner parties, potential murders, Egyptian occultism, vicious curses, unexpected magic, and secrets that break, or reshape, lives. It is peopled by characters like Russian dolls, with shocking elements revealed in layers over the five-day house party in Rhinebeck. Though the opening chapters are perhaps benign, readers and reviewers alike rave that they become ensnared in the story and can’t put the novel down, even if it means they burn their dinner or stay up to 4 am. Percy, the narrator, begins as someone raised on the fringes of the elite, quasi-abandoned by his traveling parents. He is abruptly reunited with his pseudo-brother and pulled into his hijinks. They stumble upon the dark story of Johnny's Aunt Alice, the legendary socialite who had died mysteriously twenty years earlier. Her letters and journals bring a more sinister world to the light and the two men dive headlong into the shadows. This inadvertently involves everyone at the estate, including the butler, Stanley, who was the only confidante of Alice with hidden knowledge of what happened behind closed doors before her death. She still lives in the places lit with magic, her narrative woven tightly with Percy’s. What will be the cost of revealing the truth? Where does Percy ultimately belong?

        IN EVERY MIRROR SHE'S BLACK

        by Lola Akinmade Akerstrom

        An arresting debut for anyone looking for insight into what it means to be a Black woman in the world. Three Black women are linked in unexpected ways to the same influential white man in Stockholm as they build their new lives in the most open society run by the most private people. Successful marketing executive Kemi Adeyemi is lured from the U.S. to Sweden by Jonny von Lundin, CEO of the nation's largest marketing firm, to help fix a PR fiasco involving a racially tone-deaf campaign. A killer at work but a failure in love, Kemi's move is a last-ditch effort to reclaim her social life. A chance meeting with Jonny in business class en route to the U.S. propels former model-turned-flight-attendant Brittany-Rae Johnson into a life of wealth, luxury, and privilege—a life she's not sure she wants—as the object of his unhealthy obsession. And refugee Muna Saheed, who lost her entire family, finds a job cleaning Jonny's office as she works to establish her residency in Sweden and, more importantly, seeks connection and a place she can call home. Told through the perspectives of each of the three women, In Every Mirror She's Black is a fast-paced, richly nuanced yet accessible contemporary novel that touches on important social issues of racism, classism, fetishization, and tokenism, and what it means to be a Black woman navigating a white-dominated society.

        IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU

        by BETH DUKE

        "It All Comes Back to You is one of those stories you need to savor. You want to put the book down so as to have more to read tomorrow, but you can't. It becomes attached to you, a part of you. " -Dan Brown, Author of Reunion Alabama, 1947. War's over, cherry-print dresses, parking above the city lights, swing dancing. Beautiful, seventeen-year-old Violet lives in a perfect world .Everybody loves her. In 2012, she's still beautiful, charming, and surrounded by admirers. Veronica "Ronni" Johnson, licensed practical nurse and aspiring writer, meets the captivating Violet in the assisted living facility where Violet requires no assistance, just lots of male attention. When she dies, she leaves Ronni a very generous bequest―only if Ronni completes a book about her life within one year. As she's drawn into the world of young Violet, Ronni is mesmerized by life in a simpler time. It's an irresistible journey filled with revelations, some of them about men Ronni knew as octogenarians at Fairfield Springs. Struggling, insecure, flailing at the keyboard, Ronni juggles her patients, a new boyfriend, and a Samsonite factory of emotional baggage as she tries to craft a manuscript before her deadline. But then the secrets start to emerge, some of them in person. And they don't stop. Everything changes. Alternating chapters between Homecoming Queen Violet in 1947 and can't-quite-find-her-crown Ronni in the present, IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU is book club fiction at its hilarious, warm, sad, outrageous, uplifting, and stunning best. In the tradition of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and Olive Kitteridge, Duke delivers an unforgettable elderly character to treasure and a young heroine to steal your heart.

        Permagel/Permafrost

        by Eva Baltasar

        Published in Catalan (Club Editor).   Shortlisted for the Médicis Étranger Award 2020 (France).    Rights sold: World English (And Other Stories), French (Verdier), Spanish (Literatura Random House), Italian (Nottetempo), Portuguese/Portugal (Confluencias), Galician (Kalandraka).   The #1 Catalan bestseller and winner of the Llibreter booksellers prize, poet Baltasar’s debut novel is a forthright study of lesbian sexuality and suicide.   Permafrost’s no-bullshit lesbian narrator is an uninhibited lover and a wickedly funny observer of modern life. Desperate to get out of Barcelona, she goes to Brussels, ‘because a city whose symbol is a little boy pissing was a city I knew I would like’; as an au pair in Scotland, she develops a hatred of the colour green. And everywhere she goes, she tries to break out of the roles set for her by family and society, chasing escape wherever it can be found: love affairs, travel, thoughts of suicide.   Full of powerful, physical imagery, this prize-winning debut novel by acclaimed Catalan poet Eva Baltasar was a word-of-mouth hit in its own language. It is a breathtakingly forthright call for women’s freedom to embrace both pleasure and solitude, and speaks of the body, of sex, and of the self.
