The Road (Vintage International)
by Cormac MccarthyThe searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece.<P><P> A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food--and each other. <P> The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.<P> Pulitzer Prize Winner

The Road of Life
by Georgia Louise Snelgrove Lorena FrancoThe decisions that we make, as small as they may be, set the course of our life. When Nora Clayton, a magnificent executive vice president of an important pharmaceutical Company in New York, has to fire ten thousand workers who will be substituted with sophisticated machines, she triggers the rage of Bonnie Larson, a woman who is invisible to society, but who comes from a long line of evil witches. After a long time of not having used her magic, she decides to curse Nora, who will watch how her life takes a 180º turn. The people she shares her comfortable life with don’t recognize her, her luxurious apartment on the Upper East Side no longer belongs to her and the only option she is left with is returning to Kutztown (Pennsylvania), her hometown, and to redo the inexistent relationship with her mother and live a life she had not chosen. A story about parallel worlds, about the decisions we don’t make, about memories, life, love and, in the end, fate. A lesson on life in every page.
The Road of the Dead
by Kevin Brooks“Peopled with singular protagonists and downright scary villains, this bleak-yet-romantic tale is a whirlwind ride for the right reader.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)On a storm-ravaged night, a nineteen-year-old girl is kidnapped, raped, and killed. Three days later, her two younger brothers set out in search of her murderer. Cole, seventeen, is a dark-eyed devil who doesn’t care if he lives or dies, while Ruben, fourteen, is a strange child who sometimes, inexplicably, experiences sensations above and beyond his own. This is the story of the boys’ journey from their half-Roma home on a London junk lot to the ghostly moors of Devon, where they hope and fear to find the truth about their sister’s death. It’s a long road, cold and hard and violent. It’s The Road of the Dead.“Fans of Brooks’s Martyn Pig, Kissing the Rain, Candy and Lucas, won’t be disappointed by this thrilling, gritty story and it’s memorable, heart-breaking characters.” —Kirkus Reviews“Brooks’s feel for mood and setting is as masterful here as in his taut, noir Martyn Pig. A haunting, tense drama builds from the first line and only lets up for scenes of brutal, vivid violence that bring readers back down to earth.” —School Library Journal“Brooks succeeds on every level with this enthralling mystery/thriller that will keep readers turning pages well past bedtime. The descriptions are poetic, and the dialogue is lyrical but realistic.” —Horn Book
