On a kibbutz in Israel in 2008, Gili is celebrating the ninetieth birthday of her grandmother Vera, the adored matriarch of a sprawling and tight-knit family. But festivities are interrupted by the arrival of Nina: the iron-willed daughter who rejected Vera's care; and the absent mother who abandoned Gili when she was still a baby. Nina's return to the family after years of silence precipitates an epic journey from Israel to the desolate island of Goli Otok, formerly part of Yugoslavia. It was here, five decades earlier, that Vera was held and tortured as a political prisoner. And it is here that the three women will finally come to terms with the terrible moral dilemma that Vera faced, and that permanently altered the course of their lives. More Than I Love My Life is a sweeping story about the power of love and loving with courage. A novel driven by faith in humanity even in our darkest moments, it asks us to confront our deepest held beliefs about a woman's duty to herself and to her children.

Vor zehn Jahren ist Iris bei einem Anschlag schwer verletzt worden. Zwar ist sie in ihr altes Leben zurückgekehrt, doch quälen sie Tag für Tag Schmerzen. Als sie Eitan wiederbegegnet, der Liebe ihrer Jugend, der sie vor Jahren abrupt verlassen hat, wirft sie das völlig aus der Bahn. Die Wunde, die er ihr zufügte, ist nicht weniger tief als die, die der Selbstmordattentäter, der sich neben ihr in die Luft sprengte, riss. Und doch fühlt sich Iris jäh, voller Staunen, erneut zu ihm hingezogen. Wie in »Liebesleben« lotet Shalev die Untiefen der Liebe, die Fährnisse einer fatalen Anziehung aus. Die erotische Spannung, die Wucht der unerwartet wieder aufflammenden Leidenschaft sind kompromisslos, ehrlich und tief bewegend erzählt. »Schmerz« ist ihr persönlichstes Buch, eine emotionale Grenzerfahrung.

A gripping and hilarious middle-grade summer camp memoir from the author of Anya's Ghost. All Vera wants to do is fit in—but that’s not easy for a Russian girl in the suburbs. Her friends live in fancy houses and their parents can afford to send them to the best summer camps. Vera’s single mother can’t afford that sort of luxury, but there's one summer camp in her price range—Russian summer camp. Vera is sure she's found the one place she can fit in, but camp is far from what she imagined. And nothing could prepare her for all the "cool girl" drama, endless Russian history lessons, and outhouses straight out of nightmares! Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier, Cece Bell, and Victoria Jamieson, Vera Brosgol's Be Prepared is a funny and relatable middle-grade graphic novel about navigating your own culture, struggling to belong, and the value of true friendship.

Ignatz Award winner Tillie Walden's powerful graphic memoir captures what it's like to come of age, come out, and come to terms with leaving behind everything you used to know. It was the same every morning. Wake up, grab the ice skates, and head to the rink while the world was still dark. Weekends were spent in glitter and tights at competitions. Perform. Smile. And do it again. She was good. She won. And she hated it. For ten years, figure skating was Tillie Walden's life. She woke before dawn for morning lessons, went straight to group practice after school, and spent weekends competing at ice rinks across the state. Skating was a central piece of her identity, her safe haven from the stress of school, bullies, and family. But as she switched schools, got into art, and fell in love with her first girlfriend, she began to question how the close-minded world of figure skating fit in with the rest of her life, and whether all the work was worth it given the reality: that she, and her friends on the team, were nowhere close to Olympic hopefuls. The more Tillie thought about it, the more Tillie realized she'd outgrown her passion--and she finally needed to find her own voice

Dalla penna di Mariko Tamaki, già sceneggiatrice di E la chiamano estate, e dai pennelli della talentuosissima Rosemary Valero-O’Connell, una storia di riti di passaggio, identità di genere, illusioni effimere e speranze disilluse. Un libro magistrale, in bianco, nero e rosa.
