Not Another Love Song - Csak szerelmes dalt ne!


Szenvedélyből született szimfónia! Gwen Jackson és Xander Thorne született muzsikusok, nagyon eltérő háttérrel. Xander klasszikus zenével foglalkozó családba született, a fiatalon árvaságra jutott Gwen viszont ösztönös tehetség, aki viszonylag későn kezdett el zenélni. Gwen egy esküvői fellépésén összefut Xanderrel. A csellista nem emlékszik a lányra, holott egy évig zenéltek közösen egy szimfonikus zenekarban. Gwent viszont ennél is jobban dühíti, hogy a férfi arrogánsan kritizálja az előadásmódját. Amikor Gwennek felajánlják az első hegedűs posztját, amire Xander titokban évek óta áhítozik, a köztük feszülő ellentét még tovább erősödik. Ahogy a közös munka során elkezdik felfedezni és beismerni egymás iránti érzelmeiket, egyre nyilvánvalóbbá válik, hogy különleges kapcsolatuknak köszönhetően olyan előadást tudnak létrehozni, ami mindenkit lenyűgöz. De vajon lassan kibontakozó románcuk képes lesz kibírni a sikerrel járó nyomást? TikTok-szenzáció! #BookTok, #OlvassEgyJót „A könyvben olvasható csellójelenet meg fogja változtatni az életed.” – Ali Hazelwood, bestsellerszerző– „Soto egyenesen szexivé teszi a komolyzenét.” – Publisher Weekly - Éld át a történetet, ahol minden hang egy újabb lépés a szerelem felé!

The Jaguar's Roar


In 1817, two German scientists travelled across Brazil and into the Amazon gathering flora and fauna to study and display in Europe. Among the collection they brought to the Bavarian court were two Indigenous children. The children's images became widespread, but little was known about the children themselves. Despite the scientists' detailed records about many of the plant and animal specimens, they only noted the children's tribes: the girl was a Miranha, and the boy, a Juri. After a few months, the children died in Germany, far from anyone who knew their names. Dancing delicately between history and legend, The Jaguar's Roar weaves together the perspectives of all those tied up in the Miranha girl's fate, from her German captors, to the mythic jaguar she conjures for protection, to the anguished modern day bystander who stumbles across her sketch in a museum. This incandescent novel explores the impact of colonialism on memory and belonging, forcing readers to confront Brazil's suppression of its Indigenous history. Juliana Barbassa's vivid translation of Verunchuk's poetic novel makes a lasting contribution to world literature.
