She must be Mad
The powerful new collection of poetry and prose from social media's answer to Carol Ann Duffy, Charly Cox. She Must be Mad explores coming-of-age: the pain and beauty of love, the relief and the agony of turning from girl to woman, the isolation of an untethered mind and the power and subjugation of the body. Charly captures the formative experiences of today's young women from the poignant to the prosaic in writing that is at once witty, wry and heartfelt.
Wayward nights out that don't go as planned; the righteous anger at those men with no talent or skill or smarts who occupy the most powerful positions in the world; the strange banality of madness and, of course, the hurt and indecision of unrequited love. For every woman surviving and thriving in today's world, for every girl who feels too much; this is a call for communion, and you are not alone.

The Map of Salt and Stars
Nour has lost her father. She has also lost the place she was born in and now lives in the Syrian town of Homs, along with her sisters and mother. And so, by the fig tree in the garden, Nour whispers the stories her Baba once told her, so that the roots of the tree will carry those stories back to where her father is buried and he won't feel so alone. Her favourite is the story of Rawiya, a young girl from the twelfth century who left her home in search of adventure, dressed as a boy.
But Syria is changing and it isn't long before protests and shelling destroy the peace of the quiet city. As Nour begins her own journey as a refugee, she draws strength and inspiration from the voyage of Rawiya, who became apprenticed to the famous mapmaker, Al Idrisi, and who battled mythical creatures and endured epic battles in the attempt to compile the most accurate map of the world ever made.
THE MAP OF SALT AND STARS is a breathtakingly beautiful novel that illuminates the story of a country in turmoil, a tale of human resilience and the power of stories to transform.

A boltkóros és a tesója
Becky Bloomwood - a boltkóros - újabb történetét tartja a kezében az olvasó. Ezúttal a házas élet, a mély barátságok és a rég elveszettnek hitt testvérek állnak a középpontban, no meg a vágyva vágyott Angel táska… Mit ér egy világkörüli nászút, ha nem vásárolgathatsz össze mindenféle ajándékot, amit később hazaszállíttatsz? Hogyan mehetne tovább az élet húsz, csodás, hongkongi selyem pongyola nélkül? Mi tévők lehetnénk a Srí Lanka-i kézzel faragott ebédlő asztal és a hozzá tartozó tíz szék nélkül? A hatalmas fa zsiráfok Malawiról szintén ilyen tételek, bár Luke, a mit sem sejtő újdonsült férj egyáltalán nem adta áldását ennyi mindenre… Luke és Becky épphogy hazaértek londoni otthonukba, ám Luke nászút alatt megtalált lelki békéje már rég odaveszett, amióta a két teherautónyi szuvenír tölti meg az egész nappalit. S persze az utánvéttel érkezett számla sem segít a rossz kedvén. Ezért Luke úgy határoz, hogy Beckynek takarékoskodnia kell. Becky tagadja a vádakat és kitartóan hiszi, hogy minden a legnagyobb rendben, azonban Luke érezhetően eltávolodik tőle és alighanem házas életük első válságával kell szembenézniük. Így teljesen letörve fogadja szülei híreit, miszerint a semmiből előkerült Becky nővére. Ez a hír végre teljesen felvillanyozza, és meggyőződése, hogy testvére, Jessica majd betölti lelkében a barátnője hiánya ejtette hatalmas lyukat. Elképzeli mennyi mindent csinálnak majd együtt, vásárolgatni járnak, manikűröztetnek, jókat nevetgélnek és megállás nélkül pletykálnak a divatról… Azonban Jessicát egészen más fából faragták. Bármilyen kitartóan is ostromolja Becky a nővérét, végül felmerül benne a kérdés, vajon tényleg testvérek? Luke-nak igaza lehetett, és Beckynek valóban mély önvizsgálatra van szüksége? Vajon képes a boltkóros megálljt parancsolni saját magának és tudatosabban élni? Sophie Kinsella ismételten egy fergeteges humorú könyvvel lepte meg olvasóit. Blecky Bloomwood szeretetre méltó karakterét ezúttal a barátság, a megértés, az elfogadás és a szerelem próbáján keresztül ismerhetjük meg.

Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Changing Feelings about Technology, from the Telegraph to Twitter
This wide-ranging account of our emotional responses to technologies, from the telegram to Instagram, shows that technology changes not only how we feel, but what our feelings mean.
Facebook makes us lonely. Selfies breed narcissism. On Twitter and comment boards, hostility reigns. Pundits and psychologists warn us that digital technologies substantially alter our emotional states. But in this lively and surprising account, we learn that technology doesn't just affect how we feel from moment to moment-it changes profoundly the underlying emotions themselves.
Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid examines nineteenth- and twentieth-century letters, diaries, and memoirs and draws on contemporary research and interviews with Americans of different ages and backgrounds to document how our emotions have been transformed by technological change. Where we now strive to escape boredom, earlier generations saw unstructured time as an opportunity for productivity and creativity. Where loneliness is now pathologized, we once thought of solitude as virtuous. Even as we ask whether technology is making us lonelier, it is altering the meaning of loneliness.
In this timely book, Luke Fernandez and Susan Matt contend that current technology has removed many of the limits on our emotional landscape. Thus we seek to be constantly stimulated, engaged, and validated, while our anger and antisocial impulses are not only unconstrained but affirmed by the digital company we keep

Gangster
Ever since his best-selling SLEEPERS, Lorenzo Carcaterra has told tales of Italian-Americans. Now, in this huge story, he travels from the days of godfathers and goodfellas to our own world of suburban Sopranos. GANGSTER is an epic, compassionate portrait of one man's fight against his fate - and the narrative of a family, a city and a century. Born in violence and raised in the shadow of a shocking secret, young Angelo Vestieri chose to flee both his Italian past and his father, and build a new life in early 20th century New York. Through his bloody rise from soldier to mob boss he deals in further betrayals - in his brutal business, in friendship and in love - while coming to understand loyalty and the virtues of relationships. As he grows older, Angelo takes Gabe, an abandoned boy, under his wing, and teaches him everything he knows. Finally, he will learn which is stronger - the love he has for the boy he cherishes, or the need to be a gangster and live by the savage rules he helped to create.
