Gone away (523 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. From Stonewall Honor author Christopher Barzak comes a haunting novel of love and loss, in which a series of tornadoes rips through a small midwest town, forever altering the lives of those who live there. Ellie heads up her high school yearbook, and until the tornadoes come, her biggest worry is how to raise enough money to print them. But since the day when a rash of powerful tornadoes touched down in Newfoundland, Ohio--killing more than half of the students in her school, not to mention dozens more people throughout the town--she's been haunted: by the ghosts of her best friends, by the boy next door, even by her boyfriend. And the living are haunting her too, all those left behind in the storm's wake to cope with the gone away pieces in their lives. A chance encounter with one ghost leads Ellie to discover a way to free the spirits that have been lingering since the storm, and she learns that she's not the only one seeing the ghosts--it's a town-wide epidemic.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. AN AUDACIOUS BOOK CLUB PICK * A diverse group of New Yorkers are brought together by the search for a missing woman--in this electric novel of secrets, connection, and community. "Cinematic, preternaturally humane, and absolutely unputdownable--I just loved it."--Claire Lombardo, People "What Your Favorite Authors are Reading This Summer" "Riveting."--Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author of Black Cake A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, The Washington Post, Time, Kirkus Reviews Brooklyn, 2020. Theo Harper and his pregnant wife, Darla, head upstate to their summer cottage to wait out the lockdown. Not everyone in their upscale Park Slope building has this privilege: not Xavier, the teenager in the Cardi B T-shirt, nor Darla's best friend, Ruby, and her partner, Katsumi, who stay behind to save their Michelin-starred restaurant. During an upstate hike on the aptly named Devil's Path, Theo divulges a long-held secret--and when Darla disappears after the ensuing argument, he finds himself the prime suspect. As Darla's and Theo's families and friends come together to search for her, with Ruby and Katsumi stepping in to broker peace, past and present collide with startling consequences. Set against the pulse of an ever-changing city, The Rich People Have Gone Away connects the lives of ordinary New Yorkers to tell a powerful story of hope, love, and inequity in our times--while reminding us that no one leaves the past behind completely.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Welcome to "Fog Town Holler," Pulitzer Prize finalist Maurice Manning's glorious rendering of a landscape not unlike his native Kentucky. Conjuring this mythical place from his own roots and memories -- not unlike E. A. Robinson's Tilbury Town or Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County -- Manning celebrates and echoes the voices and lives of his beloved hill people. In Fog Town Holler men have "funny names," like Tiny Too and Eula Loom. A fox is known as Redleg Johnny. A neighbor issues a complaint against an early-rising rooster; another lives in the chicken coop. "Lawse," a woman exclaims, "the sun can't hardly find this place!" But they feel the Lord watching, always, as the green water of Shoestring Branch winds its way through hillbilly haunts and memories. The real world no longer resembles the one brought so vividly to life in the poems in these pages, but through his meditations on his boyhood home, Manning is able to recapture what was lost and still, yet, move beyond it. He brings light to this place the sun can't find and brings a lost world beautifully, magically, once again into our present.…
