by Aimie K. RunyanFrom the author of The School for German Brides and A Bakery in Paris, this captivating historical novel set in nineteenth-century Paris tells the story of Claire Eiffel, a woman who played a significant role in maintaining her family’s legacy and their iconic contributions to the city of Paris.Claire Eiffel, the beautiful, brilliant eldest daughter of the illustrious architect Gustave Eiffel, is doted upon with an education envied by many sons of the upper classes, and entirely out of the reach of most daughters. Claire’s idyllic childhood ends abruptly when, at fourteen, her mother passes away. It’s soon made clear that Gustave expects Claire to fill her mother’s place as caregiver to the younger children and as manager of their home.As she proves her competence, Claire’s importance to her father grows. She accompanies him on his travels and becomes his confidante and private secretary. She learns her father’s architectural trade and becomes indispensable to his work. But when his bright young protégé, Adolphe Salles, takes up more of Gustave’s time, Claire resents being pushed aside.Slowly, the animosity between Claire and Adolphe turns to friendship…and then to something more. After their marriage in 1885 preserves the Eiffel legacy, they are privileged by the biggest commission of Eiffel’s career: a great iron tower dominating the 1889 World’s Fair to demonstrate the leading role of Paris in the world of art and architecture. Now hostess to the scientific elite, such as Thomas Edison, Claire is under the watchful eye not only of her family and father’s circle, but also the world.When Gustave Eiffel’s involvement in a disastrous endeavor to build a canal in Panama ends in his imprisonment, it is up to Claire to secure her father’s freedom but also preserve the hard-won family legacy.Claire Eiffel’s story of love, devotion, and the frantic pursuit to preserve her family’s legacy is not only an inspired reflection of real personages and historical events, but a hymn to the iconic tower that dominates the City of Lights.
Madness
by Sam SaxAn “astounding” (Terrance Hayes) debut collection of poems – Winner of the 2016 National Poetry Series CompetitionIn this powerful debut collection, sam sax explores and explodes the linkages between desire, addiction, and the history of mental health.

The Madonna of the Mountains: A Novel
by Elise Valmorbida“A riveting adventure for the soul . . . just the kind of evocative historical fiction I love.”—Sara Gruen, author of At the Water’s Edge and Water for ElephantsAn epic, inspiring novel about one woman’s survival in the hardscrabble Italian countryside and her determination to protect her family throughout the Second World War—by any means possible Maria Vittoria is twenty-five when her father brings home the man who will become her husband. It is 1923 in the austere Italian mountain village where her family has lived for generations, and the man she sees is tall and handsome and has survived the First World War without any noticeable scars. Taking just the linens she has sewn that make up her dowry and a statue of the Madonna that sits by her bedside, Maria leaves the only life she has ever known to begin a family. But her future will not be what she imagines. The Madonna of the Mountains follows Maria over the next three decades, as she moves to the town where she and her husband become shopkeepers, through the birth of their five children, through the hardships and cruelties of the National Fascist Party Rule and the Second World War. Struggling with the cost of survival at a time when food is scarce and allegiances are questioned, Maria trusts no one and fears everyone—her Fascist cousin, the madwoman from her childhood, her watchful neighbors, the Nazis and the Partisans who show up hungry at her door. As Maria’s children grow up and her marriage endures its own hardships, she must hold her family together with resilience, love, and faith, until she makes a fateful decision that will change the course of all their lives. A sweeping saga about womanhood, loyalty, war, religion, family, food, motherhood, and marriage, The Madonna of the Mountains is a poignant look at the span of one woman’s life as the rules change and her world becomes unrecognizable. In depicting the great cost of war and the ineluctable power of time on a life, Elise Valmorbida has created an unforgettable portrait of a woman navigating both the unforeseen and the inevitable.Advance praise for Madonna of the Mountains“The moral and ethical questions raised propel the story beyond the particulars into the universal.”—Kirkus Reviews“It is a bewitching but entirely unsentimental portrait of one woman’s attempt to keep her family safe in turbulent times.”—The Times (UK), Book of the Month“A solid choice for readers who appreciate layered family sagas.”—Library Journal

Madres e hijos
by Colm TóibínPor primera vez en castellano, los mejores cuentos del autor de Brooklyn, ganador de los premios Impac y Forster. Cólm Tóibín se ha consolidado como uno de los grandes narradores contemporáneos de la literatura anglosajona. Comparado a menudo con Henry James, uno de sus grandes referentes, en nuestro país empieza a obtener el reconocimiento que ya tiene en Europa y en Estados Unidos. En este volumen, que recopila sus mejores cuentos, Tóibín aborda los grandes asuntos de su universo literario: las relaciones entre madres e hijos, la sociedad de Dublín, la imagen del hogar, el exilio y la inmigración e incluso nos ofrece un retrato espléndido y en absoluto convencional de Barcelona, una ciudad que conoce muy bien porque vivió en ella durante los años de la transición. Dueño de una prosa precisa y armónica y de una gran capacidad de penetración psicológica, Colm Tóibín es ya, gracias tanto a sus novelas como a sus relatos, un nuevo maestro. La crítica ha dicho...«Relatos de enorme sutileza, empatía y luminosidad. Tóibín me deslumbra.»Richard Ford «Uno de los mejores escritores vivos.»Félix de Azúa «Una prosa tan elegante en su simplicidad como complejas son las emociones que evoca.»Alex Witchel, The New York Times Magazine «Un inmenso impacto emocional.»The New Yorker «Todos los relatos comparten una densidad milagrosa. Cortos y profundos a la vez, contienen vidas enteras.»The Sunday Times «Un maestro de las emociones sutiles. Desde paisajes invernales y sin rastro de vida humana hasta bares llenos de músicos, todas sus escenas llevan el sello de la verdad.»Mail on Sunday «Sorprendentes e iluminadores y siempre escritos a la perfección, los relatos de Madres e hijos colocan a Tóibín en la primera línea de la ficción irlandesa moderna.»Scotland on Sunday «El lector siente que su pluma entra directamente por la vena. Historias preciosas elaboradas con la belleza de la artesanía.»Kate Saunders, Literary Review «Tóibín se consagra como escritor de lo sutil, lo inteligente, del sentimiento profundo.»Patrick Ness, The Guardian La crítica ha dicho sobre el autor...«Nos hacen falta ejercicios de integridad expresiva como el de Colm Tóibín [...]: una mirada cabal sobre uno mismo es la condición necesaria para mirar y escribir sobre el mundo real con veracidad, sin trampa y sin énfasis, con ese grado de templanza y de lucidez, hasta de humorismo, que son igual de necesarios para ejercer la ciudadanía. La democracia es una prosa limpia.»Antonio Muñoz Molina

by Catherine LowellIn Catherine Lowell's smart and original debut novel, the only remaining descendant of the Brontë family embarks on a modern-day literary scavenger hunt to find the family's long-rumored secret estate, using only the clues her eccentric father left behind, and the Brontës' own novels.Samantha Whipple is used to stirring up speculation wherever she goes. Since her father's untimely death, she is the presumed heir to a long-rumored trove of diaries, paintings, letters, and early novel drafts passed down from the Brontë family--a hidden fortune never revealed to anyone outside of the family, but endlessly speculated about by Brontë scholars and fanatics.

Yet everything changes when Samantha enrolls at Oxford University and long lost objects from the past begin rematerializing in her life. Her father's distinctive copy of Jane Eyre, which should have perished in the fire that claimed his life, mysteriously appears on Samantha's bed. Annotated in her father's handwriting, the book is the first of many clues in an elaborate scavenger hunt derived from the world's greatest literature. With the help of a handsome but inscrutable professor, Samantha must plunge into a vast literary mystery and an untold family legacy, one that can only be solved by decoding the clues hidden within the Brontës' own writing.
