The Word of the Rock God

If the road to Hell was paved with good intentions, then maybe the righteous path was forged in sin. Regardless of its composition, Max Lenett always felt a strong desire to walk its road reverently and with devotion. Armed with musical ability, poetic talent, and a powerful voice, Max followed it across the country to smoky bars and underground clubs where he masked his morals in cryptic lyrics and harsh, heavy vocals. When he's presented with the worry that an artist's striking features are more important to the masses than the profound message of the art itself, a debate between the physical and spiritual opens up inside Max's mind. In time with this duality, he meets two new friends-- one with strangely golden eyes and heated skin and the other with the ability to understand even his most enigmatic lyrics. Max begins to question not only his position on the stage, but also his place in the universe as he struggles to reconcile his strict moral code with the appeal of sin. However, much more than Max's soul hangs in the balance, as things are rarely what they seem, and people, especially his new friends, are almost never who they appear to be.

Le donne dell'acquasanta

Palermo, 1897. Lavorano in coppia, in sincrono perfetto, Franca e Rosa: le dita sottili ed esperte arrotolano foglie di tabacco da mattina a sera. Amiche da sempre, le due ragazze sono cresciute insieme in un borgo di pescatori spalmato ai lembi della città, accanto alla Manifattura Tabacchi dell'Acquasanta. Diverse come il sole e la luna, impetuosa Franca e timida Rosa, respirano tutto il giorno l'aria greve della fabbrica, sotto lo sguardo predatorio dei padroni. Anche fuori da lì, il mondo delle sigaraie è governato dagli uomini – mariti, padri, fratelli: il lusso delle ville del centro lo possono solo sognare, e se lo conoscono, è perché si sono vendute ai signori che le abitano per arrotondare la misera paga da tabacchine. Perderla è impensabile, e per questo le madri sono costrette a tenersi i figli neonati legati dietro la schiena, mentre faticano chine sui sigari. Ma all'ennesimo sopruso, Franca decide che è ora di alzare la testa e lottare per un diritto che alle femmine sembra negato: la dignità. Così, insieme a Rosa e Salvo, un sindacalista che ha il suo stesso spirito indomito e appassionato, combatterà per aprire un baliatico all'interno della Manifattura, uno dei primi asili per i figli delle lavoranti in una fabbrica nel Regno. E scoprirà il prezzo da pagare per difendere le proprie idee e il proprio amore. Una storia vera, di riscatto e amicizia, che illumina una battaglia pionieristica e ancora sconosciuta, sullo sfondo di una Palermo che non finisce mai di incantarci.

When It's Over: A Novel

Coming of age in Prague in the 1930s, Lena Kulkova is inspired by the left-wing activists who resist the rise of fascism. She meets Otto, a refugee from Hitler’s Germany, and follows him to Paris to work for the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War. As the war in Spain ends and a far greater war engulfs the continent, Lena gets stuck in Paris with no news from her Jewish family, including her beloved baby sister, left behind in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. Otto, meanwhile, has fled to a village in England, and urges Lena to join him, but she can’t obtain a visa. When Lena and Otto are finally reunited, the safe haven Lena has hoped for doesn’t last long. Their relationship becomes strained, and Lena is torn between her loyalty to Otto and her growing attraction to Milton, the son of the eccentric Lady of the Manor. As the war continues, she yearns to be reunited with her sister, while Milton is preoccupied with the political turmoil that leads to the landslide defeat of Churchill in the 1945 election. Based on a true story, When It’s Over is a moving, resonant, and timely read about the lives of war refugees, dramatic political changes, and the importance of family, love, and hope.

Christmas in the Scottish Highlands

Welcome to the gorgeous little Scottish village of Christmas, where snow is falling, presents are being wrapped and the locals are writing their festive wish lists. Will this finally be the year that Belle’s dreams come true? Thirty-year-old Belle Albany is feeling lonely this Christmas. Another whole year has passed and her life is... exactly the same as it was last December. She longs for true love and a little bit of winter magic – but she’s almost given up on finding it in the sleepy Scottish community where she lives... When Belle crashes into elderly Edina on her cherry red bicycle, it’s not the meet-cute she’d been hoping for. But she immediately recognises the lost look in Edina’s watery-blue eyes and resolves to organise a Christmas to remember for them both – brimming with mince pies, mulled wine and lots of sparkle. Although Belle hadn’t counted on Edina’s home being a crumbling Scottish castle and she certainly hadn’t been expecting Edina’s handsome long-lost grandson Jack Hamilton-Kirk to turn up on the doorstep in the middle of a snow storm... Jack is arrogant, rude and bossy and Belle is convinced he’s about to ruin the seasonal cheer she has worked hard to create. He’s basically the Grinch in human form, so why does her heart race every time they’re in the same room? They disagree on almost everything, from menu choices to music, and yet she starts to glimpse a softer side hidden behind Jack’s clipped words and brooding countenance. As they hunt down costumes for the annual nativity show and save a donkey from a snowy disaster, Belle can’t ignore their growing attraction. But will a secret from Jack’s past come between them? Or will this finally be the year Belle falls in love? This gorgeous, festive read is like a warm hug in a book! The perfect cosy romance to snuggle up with this Christmas.
