      by Illya Makarenko

      Fine travel reading with a twist of mystery - Magnum will give you everything: rain and wine, love and betrayal, despair and cowardice, Ukrainian seasonal workers and Portuguese revolutionaries. For various reasons - including the Russian invasion into the East of Ukraine - the protagonist of the novel finds himself in Lisbon – the faraway coast of the Western Europe.

      Daughter

      by Tamara Horikha Zernia

      The events of the novel unfold in the spring and summer of 2014 in Donetsk. Donbas is a zeroing out point; it’s a place of strength where the country’s most important questions have sounded. And only there are the necessary answers hidden. It was here that the novel’s nameless heroine lost her family, home, job, and illusions, and it was here that she gathered up the fragments of her life and discovered new meaning and new support. Step by step the reader observes the process of transformation, the metamorphosis of a crop-sower into a warrior. Because war is when you eat the earth. So what’s more important than feeding the earth?

      Felix Austria

      by Sofia Andrukhovych

      The events of Felix Austria unfold in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Stanislav, present-day Ivano-Frankivsk — an ordinary city in the Reczposolita territories of Felix Austria (Austro-Hungarian Empire), whose residents live, suffer, inseparably fall in love, delight in science and the charlatan performances of world-renowned illusionists, seek amusement at balls and carnivals, shpatzir aroun their neighborhoods, and hide secrets in the carved wooden chests. And against the backdrop of an era that, for posterity, will become overgrown in myths about an idyllic way of life, arise the fates of two women, intertwined as closely as the trunks of two trees, who are bonded in an inextricable relationship that doesn’t allow them to live or breathe, stay or leave. Drama surrounded by the luxury and buzz of the beginning of the 20th sentury.

      Ask Miechka

      by Eugenia Kuznetsova

      The story of “Ask Miechka” features four generations of women captured during one summer. Two sisters, Mia and Lilia, come to their “shelter”, their grandmother's old house where they have spent their childhood, in an attempt to put on hold their upcoming life-changing decisions: deciding on immigrating or staying, choosing between a reliable man or wild love. Their grandmother, Thea, is nearing the end of her life and her daughter and the sisters’ mother are fearful to take the place of the oldest woman in the family. The old house, overgrown with weeds, shrubs, and sprawling trees, seems to be frozen in time, lost in oblivion. Yet the sisters bring it back to life: new people come, new cats wander in, pumpkins are grown, and the porch is renovated. The house changes, along with the lives of the women who inhabit it as the summer nears its end. In her debut novel, Eugenia Kuznetsova told a deeply intimate story about the relations between sisters, mothers, and daughters. Vivid dialogues, when the most sensitive things remain unspoken, but somehow felt, define the atmosphere of the story, and highlight the unique ties existing between the generations of women in the family.

      Radio Night

      by Yurii Andrukhovych

      Andrukhovych’s hero, rock musician Joseph Rotsky, supported the revolution in his home country by being a "barricade pianist". Forced into exile, he earns his living playing salon music. In a Swiss hotel he is forced to perform for his country’s dictator. He throws an egg at him, accidentally killing him. After his release from prison, Rotsky retreats to the Carpathian Mountains, where he is soon found by secret service agents and other sinister characters who are out to get him. His escape takes him as far as Greece – with his raven Edgar and his lover Animé as his faithful companions. He ends up on a prison island on the prime meridian, where he hosts his own radio programme: "Radio Night" – his own label that allows him to broadcast music, poetry and good stories into a darkening world. Yurii Andrukhovych’s long awaited new novel, a revolutionary saga, biographical burlesque and agent thriller set against the backdrop of the immediate present – Andrukhovych pulls out all the artistic stops to counter the fears and real threats with the sovereignty of imagination. Radio Night received great acclaim from readers and critics alike.

      Who are you?

      by Artem Chekh

      “Who are you?” hears young Tymofyi from Feliks, his friend and foe, torturer and mentor, a man shell-shocked by a faraway war. “Who am I?” asks himself the almost-adult, autobiographical Tymofyi at the end of the novel. The road from the first question to the second is inevitable for any coming of age novel. In the case of Artem Chekh - coming of age in the shadow of repulsive experiences from a foreign war, which suddenly turns out to be only the mind and body’s training in preparation of a war of our own, though we won't find it in this novel. However, we are likely to find all those childish and youthful initiations, through which we all had to fight on our path towards adult lives that turn out to be unlike anything we had imagined.

      "Cult" is the first novel of the young author, which immediately became a hit among the readership to the extent that in some circles, as if justifying its title, became almost a cult. Youth life, relationships, slang, risky and funny games of teenagers, their attempts to get to "the other side of reality" at any price - this is all Deresh and one of his best books, which became a kind of summary of literary searches of the 90s of the 20th century

      Sweet Introduction to Chaos

      by Marta Orriols

      Sweet Introduction to Caos, by Marta Orriols Full tex available in Catalan and Spanish German Rights sold to DTV What happens to the pain that arises from a feeling that we didn't even know we harbored? What about the silence that is created around a desire that we cannot share and that we can only repress? Marta and Daniel have recently been a couple and react differently to the news of an unexpected pregnancy. For a week they will feel lost, walking in a limbo of doubts and indecisions that will make them rethink themselves as individuals and as a couple. In a world obsessed with resolutions, this story does not admit polarities and forces us to flee from mere black and white debates. And to stop and closely look at nuances and uncertainties. An invitation to swim in the sea of contradictions that the possibility of fatherhood and motherhood becomes. The will, instinct, freedom, social and political structures that affect our privacy are questioned here by the gaze of a man and a woman and the masterly skill of Marta Orriols when it comes to dissect intimacy and emotions.

      IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU

      by BETH DUKE

      "It All Comes Back to You is one of those stories you need to savor. You want to put the book down so as to have more to read tomorrow, but you can't. It becomes attached to you, a part of you. " -Dan Brown, Author of Reunion Alabama, 1947. War's over, cherry-print dresses, parking above the city lights, swing dancing. Beautiful, seventeen-year-old Violet lives in a perfect world .Everybody loves her. In 2012, she's still beautiful, charming, and surrounded by admirers. Veronica "Ronni" Johnson, licensed practical nurse and aspiring writer, meets the captivating Violet in the assisted living facility where Violet requires no assistance, just lots of male attention. When she dies, she leaves Ronni a very generous bequest―only if Ronni completes a book about her life within one year. As she's drawn into the world of young Violet, Ronni is mesmerized by life in a simpler time. It's an irresistible journey filled with revelations, some of them about men Ronni knew as octogenarians at Fairfield Springs. Struggling, insecure, flailing at the keyboard, Ronni juggles her patients, a new boyfriend, and a Samsonite factory of emotional baggage as she tries to craft a manuscript before her deadline. But then the secrets start to emerge, some of them in person. And they don't stop. Everything changes. Alternating chapters between Homecoming Queen Violet in 1947 and can't-quite-find-her-crown Ronni in the present, IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU is book club fiction at its hilarious, warm, sad, outrageous, uplifting, and stunning best. In the tradition of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and Olive Kitteridge, Duke delivers an unforgettable elderly character to treasure and a young heroine to steal your heart.
