Backlight
A riveting, funny coming-of-age story: the second volume in Pirkko Saisio's award-winning Helsinki trilogy.
Teenaged Pirkko can't decide which she hates most: God, her communist father, or her growing breasts. Grandpa has moved into the room long promised to her, and Mother, overworked and distant, tries to keep the peace between her headstrong daughter and husband. It's 1960s Finland and Pirkko has fun getting into trouble. That is, until her teacher suggests she might have what it takes to be a real writer. Then the historic summer of 1968 arrives, which Pirkko spends working at a Swiss orphanage where no one understands her and, as much as her family drive her mad, she's homesick for the first time.
As the world shifts and swirls around her, Pirkko must make sense of it all - including her own sexual identity.
A funny, unique coming-of-age story and an intimate portrait of a life lived in language, Backlight is the second volume in Pirkko Saisio's award-winning Helsinki trilogy.

Flourish
• How do we set about finding greater fulfilment in our lives?
• How do we achieve a sense of well-being?
• How do we foster relationships that will add depth and meaning to our existence?
• How, in other words, do we go from living to flourishing?
In his new book, bestselling author Daniel Coyle trains his expert eye on the people who have demonstrated exceptional powers of dynamism and connectivity, and teases out their secrets.
* The Chilean miners who withstood being trapped deep underground for 33 days by establishing rituals of belonging and purpose.
* The Dutch community that sparked urban renewal through a smart system of self-organisation.
* The delicatessen in Michigan that has grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise, not by writing business plans but by shaping attentional space - focussing on how people show up, listen and engage.
From such remarkable stories of individual and group achievement, Coyle distils the core dynamics that make them possible - and, in the process, shows how small, deliberate shifts in how we think and interact can create extraordinary impact.

The Teacher
Eve has a good life. She gets up each day, gets a kiss from her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except…
Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal involving a student-teacher affair, with one student, Addie, at its center. But Eve knows there is far more to these ugly rumors than meets the eye.
Addie can't be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that's what everyone says.
But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet.
The Coworker
Dawn Schiff is strange.
At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m.
So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell-beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running-is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything…
It turns out Dawn wasn't just an awkward outsider-she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim?
But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill.

A Sicilian Man
Corruption, sleaze and violence were woven into the fabric of twentieth-century Sicilian life, as the Mafia rose to dominance. This is the story of one man who stood in opposition.
In 1986, the largest Mafia trial in Italy's history took place in Sicily: 471 men and 4 women took the stand, accused of horrific crimes. Sitting in the gallery was Leonardo Sciascia. One of the greatest European writers of the twentieth century, he had published the first Mafia novel, The Day of the Owl, in 1961, and was widely seen by Italians as a true moral figure in a country where corruption had seeped into every corner of public and private life.
Sciascia had come of age as the Mafia grew to prominence across Sicily. Witnessing the scale of corruption and violence, Sciascia predicted it would soon spread north, and he was right: by the 1980s, the Mafia had infiltrated every level of Italian politics and grown into an international, highly successful business.
In A Sicilian Man, prize-winning historian and biographer Caroline Moorehead charts Sciascia's life against the rise of the Mafia, and lays out the thrilling and devastating struggle that ensued for Italy's soul.
Life in Three Dimensions
A groundbreaking new understanding of happiness to help us build a fuller, more authentic life.
We all want a good life. But do the simple, predictable pleasures we call happiness lead to complacency and regret? Does a life of purpose invite narrow or misplaced loyalties?

These can be as simple as taking a walk, or as complex as moving to a new country, causing a shift in perspective that helps us grow.
Weaving his own story with those of people like Steve Jobs, Oliver Sacks and Alison Gopnik, and original research from fields ranging from moral philosophy, literature, culture, neuroscience, personality and psychology, Oishi shows how to deepen and better our existence through psychological richness.
