Serafim and Claire
by Mark LavoratoFrom one of Canada’s brightest emerging writers comes an unforgettable tale of love, art, and life. Set in the vividly imagined streets of 1920s Montreal, Serafim and Claire is the beautiful, moving, and compulsively readable story of two dreamers whose worlds become forever connected. Claire Audette is a dancer whose reputation in the vaudeville houses of 1920s Montreal is rapidly on the rise. Serafim Vieria is a photographer and lonely immigrant, wandering the streets of the same city haunted by memories of a lost love in his native Portugal. Around them, the Twenties are roaring, and the metropolis is simmering: corrupt politicians, the burgeoning of jazz, the emerging suffragette movement, trouble in the Red Light, fascism in the Italian community, with the English/French divide cleaving through it all. And as Serafim and Claire’s lives begin to intertwine, a dangerous plot forms that could boost both their fortunes. Can their naïve yet cunning plan succeed? Can they make their own luck? And, if they fail, what will become of their budding love? Serafim and Claire is the unforgettable story of two idealistic yet flawed dreamers being drawn together, and of the vibrant city and times in which they live. In lush and beautiful prose, Mark Lavorato brings an entire world vividly to life.
Seraph on the Suwanee
by Zora Neale HurstonFull of insights into the nature of love, attraction, faith, and loyalty, Seraph on the Suwanee is the compelling story of two people at once deeply in love and deeply at odds. The heroine, young Arvay Henson, is convinced she will never find true love and happiness, and defends herself from unwanted suitors by throwing hysterical fits and professing religious fervor. Arvay meets her match, however, in handsome Jim Meserve, a bright, enterprising young man who knows that Arvay is the woman for him, and refuses to allow her to convince him otherwise. With the same passion and understanding that have made Their Eyes Were Watching God a classic, Hurston explores the evolution of a marriage full of love but very little communication and the desires of a young woman in search of herself and her place in the world.

Quizá un inesperado grupo de música, junto a tres desconocidos, pueda darle un nuevo lugar al que pertenecer. Aunque el precio sea vivir una vida que no es la suya. Dorothy Gale está perdida o, al menos, se siente así desde que su hermano Theo murió y con él, el sueño de dedicarse juntos a la música. Justo ahora, cuando es demasiado tarde, Dottie recibe una llamada que debió ser para Theo: su gemelo ha sido elegido para formar parte de WIZARD, la próxima boyband de Emerald Music. Pero Theo ya no está. Y si Dottie ocupara su lugar y si se hiciera pasar por él, ¿no sería otra manera de mantener vivo su recuerdo un poco más? La idea parece buena hasta que conoce a sus compañeros de grupo, con los que tendrá que convivir a todas horas: Raven, el actor con fama de cabeza hueca y un instinto único para el show business; Leo, la estrella de TikTok que parece estar siempre a la espera de algo terrible, y Val, el chico sin corazón que no piensa en nada más que en llegar a lo más alto, cueste lo que cueste. Juntos planean arrasar el mundo de la música como un huracán, pero... ¿ES POSIBLE VIVIR UNA MENTIRA DELANTE DE MILLONES DE PERSONAS SIN OLVIDARTE DE QUIÉN ERES EN REALIDAD? Lo que se ha dicho de Seremos el huracán:«Una vez más, Iria y Selene demuestran que saben perfectamente qué teclas tocar para que sus lectores se ahoguen en un mar de emociones».Cherry Chic, autora de la bilogía Rose Lake. «Seremos el huracán es uno de esos libros que te hará sentir como en casa (y se está mejor en casa que en ningún sitio)».Raquel Brune, autora de Los guardianes de almas.

Serenissima: A Novel of Venice
by Erica JongSerenissima is the story of a love so great it bends time out of shape. A novel of Venice today and Venice in its illustrious past, this exquisite tale gives the reader both a compelling portrait of our modern-day film world and a clue to the passions behind Shakespeare's most enigmatic work. Jessica Pruitt is a popular Hollywood actress in her forties who has come to Venice to be a judge in the Venice Film Festival. In the rollicking paparazzi-crazed atmosphere of the festival Jessica senses that something mysterious is in the air. She begins receiving roses and sonnets from an unknown admirer who seems to be beckoning her to leave the narcissistic present and enter an enchanted past. The weather grows colder, the tourists depart, the canals freeze; it is one of the coldest autumns in history. Jessica is captive in Venice and goes deeper and deeper into Shakespeare and the history of the city, which the Venetians call "La Serenissima." While exploring the Jewish ghetto of Venice, Jessica suddenly finds herself at the Grand Canal in the Venice of Shakespeare's time-where she has, at once, been transformed into a Venetian Jewess of the sixteenth century. Shakespeare and his patron, the Earl of Southampton, have come to Venice to escape the plague, which rages in England, and a passionate love triangle develops among the three. Jessica experiences the great sensual love she has always been seeking, a love that history decrees cannot last, except in the timeless world of poetry.
