Un amore al mirtillo / Mary Simses ; traduzione di Maria Carla Dallavalle
Milano : Mondadori, 2014
Abstract: Quando Ruth, la sua adorata nonna, le chiede di realizzare il suo ultimo desiderio prima di morire, Ellen Branford, giovane avvocato di New York, non esita un solo istante ad accettare e si mette subito in viaggio per esaudirlo: deve recapitare una lettera di Ruth al suo primo amore, nella cittadina di Beacon, Maine, patria dei campi di mirtilli. Il giorno del suo arrivo a Beacon, Ellen cade in acqua mentre sta facendo delle foto su un pontile e viene salvata da Roy, misterioso e affascinante sconosciuto, che lei, presa dall'enfasi del momento, ringrazia baciandolo con passione. Il giorno dopo, la foto del bacio è sulle pagine di tutti i quotidiani del posto ed Ellen diventa una piccola celebrità locale. Lei, che tra l'altro è a un passo dal matrimonio con Hayden, un giovane di ottima famiglia, non sa che pesci pigliare, e tutte le sue certezze e la sua vita preordinata cominciano a vacillare. La gentilezza degli abitanti del luogo, i ritmi piacevoli della provincia e il delizioso cibo le fanno ben presto dimenticare la vita fatta di apparenze che conduceva a New York. Quando Hayden si presenta a Beacon, Ellen non può più mentire a se stessa e deve affrontare l'attrazione sempre più forte che prova per Roy e capire cosa vuole veramente per sé. Hayden o Roy? New York o Beacon? La risposta è tutta in un irresistibile muffin ai mirtilli.

And the mountains echoed / Khaled Hosseini
New York : Riverhead, 2013
Abstract: An emotional, provocative, and unforgettable novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations.Broad in scope and setting, wise and compassionate in its storytelling, And the Mountains Echoed is a profoundly moving, captivating novel that demonstrates Khaled Hosseini’s deeply felt understanding of the bonds that define us and shape our lives—and of what it means to be human.It begins with the heartbreaking, unparalleled bond between two motherless siblings in an Afghan village. To three-year-old Pari, big brother Abdullah is more mother than brother. To ten-year-old Abdullah, little Pari is his everything. What happens to them—and the large and small manners in which it echoes through the lives of so many other people—is proof of the moral complexity of life. In a multigenerational novel revolving around not just parents and children but also brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which family members love, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe—from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos—the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page.Propelled by the same remarkable instincts and philosophical insight that made The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns so remarkable, And the Mountains Echoed shows once again that Khaled Hosseini is a born storyteller.
