Pearl Johns è una brillante creatrice di gioielli.
A soli ventidue anni, è riuscita a specializzarsi nel settore, trasformando questa innata passione nel suo pane quotidiano. Lavora presso la gioielleria di famiglia, ed è la pietra preziosa di suo padre e suo fratello.
Come in ogni favola moderna che si rispetti, un giorno si scontra con il ragazzo più bello che abbia mai visto, colui che, con un sorriso “strappa mutandine” e due occhi magnetici, metterà a soqquadro la sua testa e il suo cuore.
Il ragazzo in questione si chiama Logan Harris, ed è un aitante ventiquattrenne texano che, rimasto orfano, si è trasferito a Buford, piccola cittadina della Georgia, per lavorare nella gioielleria dello zio.
Quando cominciano a conoscersi, Pearl scopre che Logan è tanto stupendo quanto inaccessibile, poichè appartiene alla famiglia che, da decenni, è acerrima nemica della sua.
Nonostante il loro destino sembra segnato, l’empatia e l’attrazione che i due giovani adulti provano l’uno per l’altra, è molto forte e li spingerà a lottare contro tutto e tutti pur di rimanere insieme.
Ci riusciranno?
E questa faida tra le loro famiglie è solo frutto di concorrenza lavorativa, oppure si è creata per motivi meno futili di quanto si possa immaginare?
Ispiratasi all’immortale commedia shakespeariana di Romeo e Giulietta, Alice Sten si cimenta in un nuovo stile, molto lontano dai suoi canoni e dai suoi romanzi precedenti, regalando ai lettori un New adult romantico e frizzante.

Download As PDF : Curry Eating Reading and Race Audible Audio Edition Naben Ruthnum Matthew Edison Coach House Books BooksCurry is a dish that doesn't quite exist, but, as this wildly funny and sharp essay points out, a dish that doesn't properly exist can have infinite, equally authentic variations. By grappling with novels, recipes, travelogues, pop culture, and his own upbringing, Naben Ruthnum depicts how the distinctive taste of curry has often become maladroit shorthand for brown identity. With the sardonic wit of Gita Mehta's Karma Cola and the refined, obsessive palette of Bill Buford's Heat, Ruthnum sinks his teeth into the story of how the beloved flavor calcified into an aesthetic genre that limits the imaginations of writers, readers, and eaters. Following in the footsteps of Salman Rushdie's Imaginary Homelands, Curry cracks open anew the staid narrative of an authentically Indian diasporic experience.Â
Naben Ruthnum won the Journey Prize for his short fiction, has been a National Post books columnist, and has written books and cultural criticism for the Globe and Mail, Hazlitt, and the Walrus. His crime fiction has appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and Joyland, and his pseudonym Nathan Ripley's first novel appeared in 2018. Ruthnum lives in Toronto.

Curry Eating Reading and Race Audible Audio Edition Naben Ruthnum Matthew Edison Coach House Books Books Reviews
- I liked this unexpected exploration of what it means to be a “brown†writer in America. It changed my romantic notions of Indian curry while showing that all skin colors experience a sense of displacement on some level.
- This is a book for people who enjoy food but enjoy the cerebral conversations about cuisine more. Loved every word of it. Thank you, Naben!
- I love to read and taste food stories because of the hidden promise of more than a combination of various ingredients. If you know how to read correctly a recipe, you can create incredible stories. Think only about the stories of how different ingredients were introduced into various geographical spaces and the full history of their appropriation by different cultures.
In his collection of essays about 'Eating, Reading and Race', Naben Ruthnum analysed the case of 'curry' which he proclaims '(...) isn't real. Its range of differentiations, edible and otherwise, rob it of a stable existence. Curry is a leaf, a process, a certain kind of gravy with uncertain ingredients surrounding a starring meat or vegetable. It's an elevating crust baked around previously bland food stuff, but it's also an Indian fairy tale composed by cooks, Indians, emigres, colonists, eaters, readers and writers'. I personally haven't cooked curry - yet - and I have a very limited taste experience therefore I can hardly go to far when it comes to the eating part of the stories.
However, I can trace various interpretations and contextualizations acquired through the literary representations. Ruthnum outlines the requested literary conundrum assigned to the novels by and about that part of the world. 'Food and literature are the most definint elements of the Indian diaspora on the small world I've built around myself as a brown adult in the West. Curry's the vehicle I use to look at how we eat, read and think of ourselves as a miniature mass-culture within the greater West. Curry's just as fake and as real as a great novel, as a sense of identity'.
The book is a collection of essays, with interesting references of authors exploring the limits of food and identity and the pressure to find yourself outside those limitations of the 'India's of the mind'. 'South Asian Writers is an identity, not just a pair of adjectives and a noun, and it's an identity that establishes a tacit promise to an audience that is seeking it, whether the author intended it or not'.
It is almost impossible to think that this mindset will change any time soon, but the efforts to deconstruct this reality are small breaks into the wall of imposed creativity. Think about how much potential there is when the challenge of offering different streams of identity is really taken, word by word.
Disclaimer Book offered by the publisher in exchange for an honest review - I enjoyed reading these essays. The author explores growing up in Canada, eating curry and reading as a child of immigrants. There are a couple of recipes, a history of curry, and book reviews. Enjoy these thought provoking essays

Download As PDF : Alice Island A Novel Daniel Sánchez Arévalo 9781501171956 BooksA happily married woman's perfect life shatters when her husband turns up dead hundreds of miles away from where he should have been, and she suddenly discovers that there was a part of him she knew nothing about.
Alice Dupont’s perfect marriage was a perfect lie. When her husband, Chris, dies in a car accident, far from where he should have been, Alice’s life falls apart. After the police close the case, she is left with more questions than answers. While learning to cope with her loss and her new identity as a single mother of two, Alice becomes obsessed with unraveling the mystery surrounding her husband’s death and decides to start her own investigation. Retracing her husband's last known whereabouts, she soon discovers clues that lead her to a small island near Nantucket.
As she insinuates herself into the lives of the island’s inhabitants in an effort to discover what they knew about her husband, Alice finds herself increasingly involved in their private lives and comes to a disturbing realization she has been transformed into a person she no longer recognizes.
In seeking an answer to what her husband was doing before he died, Alice discovers not only a side of him she never knew, but sides of her own character she has never explored. Part mystery, part moving family drama, part psychological page-turner, Alice’s Island is a novel whose vivid characters hold the reader rapt right up until the final page.

"I started out liking this book. I liked the characters. I liked the mystery. Then, I got to around 60-percent and I said, "Enough." I didn't care about anything. I went to 97-percent and didn't care enough to finish the book after I read enough to have a brief idea of what was going. Not much of a review; but, in my opinion, not much of a story."

Alice Island A Novel Daniel Sánchez Arévalo 9781501171956 Books Reviews
- I started out liking this book. I liked the characters. I liked the mystery. Then, I got to around 60-percent and I said, "Enough." I didn't care about anything. I went to 97-percent and didn't care enough to finish the book after I read enough to have a brief idea of what was going. Not much of a review; but, in my opinion, not much of a story.
- Alice’s Island starts out with a mystery that quickly turns into an obsession.
Chris is killed on a road he shouldn’t have been on while traveling home to his very pregnant wife, Alice. Alice obsesses about finding out where Chris was on the night of his death. Once she uncovers his secret life, she spends a healthy chunk of Chris’ $1.5 million insurance on spying on the neighbors in Chris’ hideaway.
In Alice’s Island, Alice goes off the rails and really should have spent her money on therapy. It is painful to watch her continuing downward spiral. Worse, after the first 25% of the book, the constant spying on her new neighbors was just boring. I kept thinking it would tie together in the end. It, or at least most of it, didn’t.
However, the romance was interesting. If you don’t mind having an unsympathetic narrator, you may like Alice’s Island. But for me it was a 3 star read.
Thanks to Atria Books and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review. - A beautifully written story of great loss, the seeking of redemption and eventually finding of one's self. Alice Dupont is a happily married woman enjoying life with her adoring husband Chris. It is obvious that each has found the perfect mate in the other. They have one young daughter and Alice pregnant with another child. Chris had founded a small business building tennis courts which has become successful enough possibly due to his background of playing tennis on a semi professional basis. His work takes him to sites around his home area in getting business. He has always kept in close touch with Alice while traveling and made it obvious that it is her that he thinks about.
Suddenly Alice's world comes crashing down on her head when she receives a dreaded call from the police that Chris has been severely injured in an auto crash. She rushes to the hospital that he is in but unfortunately only in time to learn that he has passed away from his injuries. After the funeral Alice decides that in order to find some sort of closure she has to learn about the project he has been working on when killed. When she finds that the accident occurred several hundred miles away from where he was scheduled to be Alice decides to discover where he actually was and what he was doing. Determination is made that Chris was on an island near Nantucket in Massachusetts. Made independent by a hefty insurance settlement Alice moves to that island and begins her search for Chris' reason to be there and if he had been there more than once.
The story of her search and her experiences in befriending other residents of the island comprise the major part of the novel. There is no horror to the story and one that follows Alice's closure as well as that of several of the island's residents. Written originally in Spanish and later translated into English Mr Sanchez Arelvalo's novel reaches a level of beauty that does captivate the reader. The ending is well done and an adventure into a level of prose that is a pleasure to find and certainly indicative of both a very skilled author and a translator that has complete understanding of the nuances of both English and Spanish. I trust that we will see additional works by the author translated into English for our great enjoyment. - Alice's Island by Daniel Sánchez Arévalo is a so-so domestic mystery.
Alice Dupont's husband dies of natural causes, a brain aneurysm, in his car miles away from where he said he was. Alice, soon to be the mother of two, undertakes an investigation of her own to find out why her husband was on the road where his car was found and where he had been coming from before that, as he was clearly on his way home from somewhere else. She retraces her husband's trip and finds clues that lead her to Robin Island, a small island located near Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Alice moves to the island, using her maiden name, with her two daughters, six-year-old Olivia and infant Ruby. She then sets out to spy on the residents of the small island in an attempt to find out what her husband was doing and if he was cheating on her.
This is Arévalo's first novel to appear in English. Perhaps something was lost in the translation, as far as the actual writing goes, so I'm giving a pass to any quibbles with the writing and the dialogue. I can say that the novel felt padded and I was losing patience with it and Alice. The search was interminable and, well, stupid and pointless. She wanted to know where he had been, so why not tell the truth to people? Why make up a lie? Why move to the island and continue lying? Why not simply tell people who you are and what you want to know? All the bribing people, clandestine spying on people, and supposition about what could have happened was pointless and especially trying on this reader.
Alice herself starts out as a sympathetic character. Her husband has just died, she is close to having their second daughter, and she doesn't know why he was in that part of the country. Then she starts to lose credibility as her weird search for "the truth" begins along with her needless lying. She loses all sympathy when she begins spending large sums of money (at a conveniently placed spy store) to actively spy and snoop on people and begins an affair with a married man. A novel with an interesting start, tedious overly-padded middle, and uninteresting, albeit happy, ending.
