    Summary:
    Random House presents the audiobook edition of White Chrysanthemum by Mary Lynn Bracht, read by Greta Jung. 'Look for your sister after each dive. Never forget. If you see her, you are safe.' Hana and her little sister Emi are part of an island community of haenyeo, women who make their living from diving deep into the sea off the southernmost tip of Korea. One day Hana sees a Japanese soldier heading for where Emi is guarding the day's catch on the beach. Her mother has told her again and again never to be caught alone with one. Terrified for her sister, Hana swims as hard as she can for the shore. So begins the story of two sisters suddenly and violently separated by war. Switchbacking between Hana in 1943 and Emi as an old woman today, White Chrysanthemum takes us into a dark and devastating corner of history. But pulling us back into the light are two women whose love for one another is strong enough to triumph over the evils of war. A riveting, immersive read in the vein of The Kite Runner and Memoirs of a Geisha.

    Résumé:
    La paix a son prix, et il faut parfois brûler les ponts. Il y a déjà longtemps que Jack vit sans Monica. Longtemps aussi que Jack vit sans Jack, un peu. Après des années sous silence, la trêve est toutefois rompue lorsque Tristan, le frère cadet de Monica, réapparaît dans l’existence de Jack. Car on a beau enterrer les souvenirs, l’érosion fait son travail. Tristan entraîne alors Jack sur la route, la route sans destination, simplement parce qu’il faut bouger, parce qu’il faut prêter ses voiles au hasard. La route où ils feront la rencontre de Nuna, cette jeune femme dont les regards affolent tous les compas. Mais les triangles sont des objets contondants, et le désir, un combustible dangereux. Guillaume Vigneault prouve dans ce deuxième roman combien il a le don de traduire les subtils climats du cœur. Dans une prose élégante et mesurée, il continue de brosser ici le portrait d’une génération, d’une façon d’aimer et de se quitter qui lui appartient en propre. « Un roman à travers lequel, en mêlant aux ingrédients poivrés du romantisme moderne une pointe liquoreuse de sentimentalisme, l’auteur confirme son indéniable doigté dans l’art de réussir les plus savoureux cocktails. » - Bernard Le Saux, Figaro magazine Please note: This audiobook is in French.

    Lispector’s most shocking novel.

At the end of the novel, at the height of a spiritual crisis, comes the most famous and most genuinely shocking scene in Brazilian literature.... Lispector wrote that of all her works, this novel was the one that "best corresponded to her demands as a writer."

    There are three things you should know about Elsie. The first thing is that she's my best friend. The second is that she always knows what to say to make me feel better. And the third thing...might take a little bit more explaining. Eighty-four-year-old Florence has fallen in her flat at Cherry Tree Home for the Elderly. As she waits to be rescued, Florence wonders if a terrible secret from her past is about to come to light; and, if the charming new resident is who he claims to be, why does he look exactly like a man who died 60 years ago? From the author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, this book will teach you many things, but here are three of them:

    Summary:
    Gold medal winner for contemporary fiction - 2015 Independent Publisher Book Awards. John Ritter, a frustrated artist, demonstrates that self-destruction can be a form of protest - or maybe just the last resort for those who refuse to grow up. After years of adventure on the West Coast, he returns to Cincinnati to care for his grandmother, who suffers from Alzheimer's, and to protect her farmland from commercial development. Still in love with his ex-girlfriend and his youthful ideals, John lives in denial of the facts that his ex has moved on, that he is ill-equipped to serve as a caretaker, and that his life is in limbo. Unreliable, unstable, but hilarious and brutally honest, John's artistic sensibility and his job as a landscaper make his situation even more maddening. Wearing his wounded heart on his sleeve, he turns his life into a piece of performance art that involves late-night graffiti raids and car theft. He aims to illustrate how the forces of love, freedom, and individuality can triumph over greed, conformity, and corporatization. In the eyes of those around him, his project is a failure, but for the listener, it offers a dangerously veering joy ride.
