How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder
''Takes all the expected stories about growing up Indian American, slices them open with razor-sharp wit, and turns them inside out'' CELESTE NG, author of OUR MISSING HEARTS''Nina McConigley is a true original . . . Heart-mending and heart-breaking - as only the truth can be'' TAYARI JONES, author of AN AMERICAN MARRIAGEGeorgie and Agatha Krishna killed their uncle, and they blame the British.Summer, 1986. Tween sisters Georgie Ayyar and Agatha Krishna welcome their aunt, uncle and young cousin - newly arrived from India - into their house in rural Wyoming where they''ll all live together. Because this is what families do. That is, until the sisters decide that it''s time for their uncle to die.To understand why, you need to hear Georgie''s story. It''s one of violence hiding in their house and history, of her once-unshakeable bond with her sister, of being an Indian-American girl in the heart of the West. Her account is cheeky, unflinching and infectiously inflected with the trappings of teendom: pen pal letters, how-to guides, games of MASH and teen-magazine-style quizzes. And the tale she weaves is either:a) a vivid portrait of an extended familyb) a moving story of sisterhoodc) a playful ode to the 80sd) a murder mystery (of sorts)e) a ruthless meditation on history and language, trauma and healing, and the meaning of independenceOr maybe it''s really:f) all of the above.

Cesta do Tridenta
Slovinský básník a prozaik Kajetan Kovič ve svém románu Cesta do Tridenta nenápadně rozehrává velkolepou oslavu „obyčejného“ lidského života – života, který se v jeho podání proměňuje v jedinečné, barevné a dojemné dobrodružství.
Vypravěč, autorovo alter ego, sleduje osudy svého strýce France M., obchodníka, vojáka a hostinského, jehož cesta z vídeňských salonů přes haličskou frontu až po vinohrady rodného Slovinska obsahuje vše, co tvoří podstatu lidské existence: vášeň, pošetilost, bolest, smích i smíření. Kovič s básnickou citlivostí a smyslem pro ironii nechává na stránkách svého románu ožít minulý svět – od lehkomyslného víru vídeňských valčíků po syrovou realitu války – a ukazuje, že i v těch nejprostších okamžicích se skrývá poezie bytí.
Cesta do Tridenta je román plný vůní vína, písní, smutku i radosti, napsaný s pochopením pro každou lidskou slabost. Dílo jednoho z nejvýznamnějších slovinských autorů 20. století, nám připomíná, proč stojí za to říkat životu vždycky své ano – da, ja, ano, igen, si...
Whispering Rooms
From bestselling authors Genki Kawamura and Marie Kondo comes a collection of heartwarming and whimsical short stories, based on Marie's personal experience of tidying over 1,000 rooms.
Miko is a professional tidier, with a secret. When she enters a room, she is greeted by the voices of every object inside. Visiting her clients, she finds the whispering wardrobe, filled with chatty clothes; the singing study, full of talkative books; the bickering kitchen with its disgruntled drawers of cutlery, and more. Each item: a book, a childhood toy, a jar of miso paste, evokes a new memory for its owner, and what starts as the simple task of tidying a room becomes something profound and life-affirming.
With the help of her talking box, Hako, Miko helps people reconnect to themselves and their loved ones through the items that they find in their rooms. As they sort through their rooms, they discover what is truly important in their lives, and what it takes to spark joy.
The Future Saints
A band on the brink. A love worth playing for.
When record executive Theo meets the Future Saints, they're bombing at a dive bar in their hometown. Since the tragic death of their manager, the band has been in a downward spiral and Theo has been dispatched to coax a new - and successful - album out of them, or else let them go.
Theo is struck right away by Hannah, the group's impetuous lead singer, who has gone off script in debuting a new song-and, in fact, a whole new sound. Theo's supposed to get the band back on track, but when their new music garners an even wider fan base than before, the plans begin to change-new tour, new record, new start.
But Hannah's descent into grief has larger consequences for the group, and she's not willing to let go yet… not for fame or love.
For fans of Daisy Jones and the Six and In Five Years, this is a love story - just not the one you're expecting.
