        Memories of Summer

        Wer bist du ohne Vergangenheit?

        by Janna Ruth, Moon Notes

        In "Memories of Summer" von Janna Ruth tauchen die Leser in eine faszinierende Zukunftswelt ein, in der es möglich ist, Erinnerungen zu spenden und sie anderen Menschen einzupflanzen. Mika, der Protagonist, nutzt regelmäßig die Dienste des NEURO-Instituts, um durch den Verkauf seiner eigenen Erinnerungen Geld zu verdienen und gleichzeitig Menschen mit Depressionen zu helfen. Dieser Prozess erscheint ihm zunächst unbedenklich, bis er Lynn begegnet, ein Mädchen, das seltsamerweise viel über sein Leben weiß, an das er sich jedoch nicht erinnern kann. Ihre Begegnung lässt Mika zweifeln und weckt in ihm den dringenden Wunsch, seine eigenen Erinnerungen zurückzugewinnen. Als Mika beschließt, seine Erinnerungen vom NEURO-Institut zurückzufordern, beginnt eine gefährliche Reise, die ihn tief in die dunklen Geheimnisse der Institution führt. Je mehr er über die Machenschaften hinter den Kulissen erfährt, desto klarer wird ihm, dass das, was er für eine harmlose Möglichkeit hielt, anderen zu helfen, tatsächlich Teil eines viel größeren und erschreckenderen Plans ist. Auf seinem Weg muss Mika nicht nur für die Wiedererlangung seiner eigenen Vergangenheit kämpfen, sondern auch die Frage nach der moralischen Vertretbarkeit der Erinnerungsmanipulation stellen. "Memories of Summer" entwirft ein packendes Szenario einer nicht allzu fernen Zukunft, das nicht nur für Romance-Fans, sondern auch für Liebhaber von spannender und nachdenklich machender Future-Fiction eine fesselnde Lektüre bietet. Faszinierende Zukunftsvision: Tauche ein in eine Welt, in der Erinnerungen gespendet werden können, um Menschen mit Depressionen zu helfen – eine innovative Idee, die sowohl fasziniert als auch zum Nachdenken anregt. Emotional und tiefgründig: Begleite Mika auf seiner Reise, als er versucht, seine eigenen Erinnerungen zurückzugewinnen und dabei die dunklen Geheimnisse des NEURO-Instituts aufdeckt. Eine Geschichte voller Emotionen und unerwarteter Wendungen. Spannende Romanze: Erlebe die zarte Liebesgeschichte zwischen Mika und Lynn, die sich durch gemeinsame Vergangenheit und das Streben nach Wahrheit intensiviert. Eine Beziehung, die zeigt, wie wichtig gemeinsame Erinnerungen sind. Kritische Auseinandersetzung mit wichtigen Themen: Das Buch behandelt sensible Themen wie Depressionen und den Wert von Erinnerungen in einer Weise, die zum Nachdenken anregt und gleichzeitig unterhält. Packend bis zum Schluss: "Memories of Summer" hält die Spannung von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite aufrecht, mit einem Ende, das sowohl zufriedenstellend als auch nachdenklich macht. Eine Geschichte, die lange im Gedächtnis bleibt.

        Summer Rains

        Winner of the 2018 Sheikh Zayed Book Award for Young Author

        by Ahmad Al Qarmalawi

        Using music as a thread that connects the past to the present, this novel explores what happens when traditional and cultural heritage clash with modernity. The characters face the impact of modernization on heritage and arts versus the need to protect and preserve their traditional culture and must choose between the pursuit of materialism versus spiritual balance. Al Qarmalawi writes about a wide range of music from Sufism to the present era of electronic musical arts, and Summer Rains addresses the current Arab youth crisis, in which young people find themselves torn between fundamentalism and modernity. (An extended English-language report on this book will be available soon.)

        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.
