Broke and directionless, our young protagonist takes a job in the Italian countryside as the assistant to Lisabetta - better known to her friends as Coco - a strong-willed, wealthy aristocrat of great local renown. Trained as an archivist, he thinks he's been hired to catalogue the contents of the beautiful, crumbling mansion nestled in the green Tuscan hills. But what are his actual duties? Days are spent in a series of increasingly eccentric pursuits: entertaining an endless carousel of guests (from bohemian painters to elderly princesses to unnervingly handsome nephews), attending a funeral in order to make off with the urn, and aiding and abetting Coco's great and final plan - to reunite with the lost love of her life before it's too late. As summer turns into autumn and the Italian countryside begins to work its magic, the secrets of Villa Coco and its inhabitants are slowly brought to light - and with them, an unforgettable story of the enduring power of friendship. A 'charm novel' for our times, Villa Coco is a sun-drenched paean to youth, to age and to the fulfilment of love - filled with great wisdom and a spirit of unadulterated joy. ?

The Last Run


On the bracing edges of Alaska, a single mother is driven to secure her legacy in a powerful novel of family, forgiveness, and finding one’s place in the world by the author of Point of Direction. It’s been years since Ellie fished the Alaskan coastline—not since her mother died. But when she finds her father beat up behind the local bar, she learns he’s done the unforgivable: gambled away the family’s commercial fishing boat—her five-year-old son’s inheritance and the life she longs to reclaim. For nefarious reasons of his own, the bookie gives them one season to earn the money to buy it back. Ellie agrees to fish with her father, Pete, bringing her son, Drew, along as they chase the slim hope of paying off the debt. She’s no stranger to backbreaking work and little sleep; what she’s never been good at is accepting help—or trusting anyone, especially a secretive homesteader with demons of his own. Ellie’s growing attraction and the dangerous waters are the least of her worries. She’s hiding secrets from everyone and, as the date with the bookie draws closer, she is at risk of losing it all.

The Way It Haunted Him


A terrifying and powerful dark academia novel about Jewish folklore, grief, and other things locked in the archives. Perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Tori Bovalino and Sunyi Dean. "It's real. You'll see."Michael Stein arrives at the Schechter Institute for Judaic Studies in upstate New York, battered and broken after the death of his boyfriend seven months prior. Blaming himself for the accident that killed him, Michael has come to the Institute to complete his boyfriend's dissertation as part of his effort at repentance. While Michael's own past leads him to condemn superstition as a way to mask prejudice and old-fashioned beliefs, his boyfriend's research argues that the folktales told in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe were based in truth, and that demons and other creatures walked the earth, wreaking havoc on peoples' lives. Instead of the Institute's infamous archivist, Michael is met by his grandson, Jacob Schechter, who has taken over the archive after his grandfather's death. A firm believer in the existence of the supernatural, Jacob explains that the archive plays host to a coterie of household demons. Michael insists that he is a skeptic, but strange and frightening occurrences plague his research, causing Michael to question both his sanity and his view of the world. To cope with his guilt, grief, and the terrifying shadows following him, Michael must reckon with the events leading up to his boyfriend's death-and his role in it-by trusting the enigmatic Jacob to help uncover the truth. As untangling the mysteries of the past bring Jacob and Michael closer together, their respective secrets threaten to tear them apart. Because Michael is not the only one with darkness on his conscience, and if he and Jacob discover the truth of each other, only one of them may survive the fallout.

Otthonról haza


Csepelyi Adrienn novelláskötetében az otthon néha egy gyerekkori emlék, egy étel közös felemlegetése, egy régi tárgy tapintása vagy egy jóindulatú szomszéd gesztusa. Máskor fájdalom vagy éppen tragikum. Mert a szülőföldet, bárhová sodorjon is bennünket az élet, az ember mindenüvé magával hurcolja. Ezek az útközben talált történetek mindannyiunk számára ismerős terekből és helyzetekből indulnak: lakásokból, falusi utcákból, udvarokból, piacokról, lépcsőházakból, vidéki és városi emlékezetből. Legnagyobb értékük pedig, hogy őszintén és kérlelhetetlenül szembesítenek bennünket az élet törvényszerűségeivel, miközben a mélyükön mindig ott csillog az emberség, a megértés és a szerző kifogyhatatlan együttérzése. A Heinrich Annamária illusztrációival díszített gyűjtemény Csepelyi Adrienn tízévnyi novellatermésének legjavából válogat. ,,Szilvavirágillat száll, meg-megcsap az éles szélben. A falu végén dühödt kék az ég, az összes fényt a fehér szirmokra irányították, mintha csak azt akarná megmutatni a Jóisten, mire kell koncentrálnunk a viharban. A férfi hajnal óta ás, láttam akkor is, amikor boltba mentem tojásért. A kézfeje messziről vöröslik. A ház melletti keskeny sávban fagyközeli lehet még a levegő, hiába az aranysárga napsütés, visszafordultunk a télbe. Biccentünk, elhaladok. Nem ismerem. Mostanában költözhettek ide, amíg nem voltam idehaza. Ritkán jövök. Mire megjelenek, már ki is koptam a tájból, újra nyomot kell hagynom benne, hogy ne felejtsem el magam én se." Csepelyi Adrienn 1984-ben született, és az ország keleti csücskében, a szabolcs-szatmár-beregi Penyigén nőtt fel. Kulturális újságíró, publicista, műsorvezető. Junior Prima-díjas, Népszabadság-díjas, Hüpátia-médiadíjas, a Szegénységről Méltósággal Sajtódíj különdíjasa. Belemenés címmel 2018-ban jelent meg első regénye, 2024-ben CAMPUS 15 címmel riportkönyvet írt a debreceni Campus fesztiválról. Nagymamám magyaráz című műfajteremtő kötete - amely eredetileg családi nyelvjárásgyűjtésnek, emlékrögzítésnek indult, és amely végül kollektív emlékezetünk markáns lenyomata lett - 2025-ben jelent meg a 21. Század Kiadónál.
