At the same time, Jessie finds herself unexpectedly saddled with a friend’s home-based bird sanctuary, where she cares for an injured baby loon who inspires her with its will to live. But Flying Lessons is really the story of two different women as Alex, a hard-driven investment lawyer from the city, faces her own mortality and seeks a healing sanctuary at Jessie’s home, where she learns to listen to her inner self again.

Fog at Noon
by Tomas Gonzalez&“One of South America's most acclaimed and pitch-perfect novelists, González plunges you into the brutality of man and nature alike.&” — Kerri ArsenaultA perceptive whodunnit set in the shimmering mountain ranches of Colombia, told by a bewitching cast of potential perpetratorsWhat happens when a person goes missing? Told from alternating perspectives, Fog at Noon offers readers the chance to methodically decipher the story of Julia. A conceited &“ninny,&” somewhat-gifted poet, ravishing temptress, and thorny friend, Julia shapeshifts and sparkles in the blinding light of conflicting narrative. Her raconteurs? A frequently fishy chorus of acquaintances, lovers, sisters-in-law, and friends. And from behind the veil, Julia speaks for herself.Tomás González writes of the passionate origins of an affair and its precipitous conclusion, of untraceable debts and the liminal realms between the living and the dead, of New York in a blizzard and the Colombian mountain chains cloaked in fog. Chapter by chapter, each narrator&’s story reveals more of Julia&’s past, and the tangled love affairs and financial snarls that tie these figures to each other illuminate not just Julia&’s absence, but our own human foibles.Readers will be reminded of the propulsive mysteries of Big Little Lies, as much as the incisive literary works of Domenico Starnone, Michael Ondaatje, and Juan Gabriel Vásquez. Andrea Rosenberg&’s translation gleams in every line, as we are lured deeper into the elusive world of Fog at Noon.
