About this deal

But before she ends it all, Nao first plans to document the life of her great grandmother, a Buddhist nun who’s lived more than a century. Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate—a life and a role that she has never challenged…until now. And so she was both elated and saddened when, at twelve, she joined her parents and youngest brothers in New York City. Within its boundaries, birds are outlawed and what was once a crater in Appalachia is now a tropical, glittering metropolis where Anna Armour is waiting.

Four graduates from a small college in Massachusetts move to New York to follow their dreams and escape their demons. Mortmain plans to use his Infernal Devices, an army of pitiless automatons, to destroy the Shadowhunters.As Charlie’s intelligence increases, he becomes aware of his coworkers’ mistreatment of him and of the ethics of the experiment. It’s 1969 on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and the four Gold siblings—Varya, Daniel, Klara and Simon—hear about a psychic in their neighborhood who professes to know how long they have to live.

This coming-of-age story follows an African American girl named Taja Brown, as she grows up in Texas amid family expectations and a need to discover herself and where she belongs. Following the First World War, Thomas takes a solitary job as a lighthouse keeper on an isolated Australian island. The book frequently uses a disconnection between text and image to communicate the complex feelings of grief. As beautifully written as it is devastating, this young neurosurgeon’s memoir of dying of cancer reflects on the nature of a meaningful life—and will have you reexamining your own relationships and attention to gratitude.

Once they arrive, it’s not long before Maribel attracts the attention of Mayor Toro, the son of one of their new neighbors, who sees a kindred spirit in this beautiful, damaged outsider. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature. Never-ending though the process of mourning may be, Rosen set out to exorcise its hardest edges and subtlest shapes five years later in Michael Rosen’s Sad Book ( public library) — an immensely moving addition to the finest children’s books about loss, illustrated by none other than the great Quentin Blake. Torus is a college student who remains loyal to only one girl, Naoko, bonded by the tragic death of their best friend several years ago.

Neither of them are looking for romantic entanglements, and Stone can’t risk revealing his secrets, but as they heat up the dance floor, it’s only a matter of time until he feels an overwhelming urge to take the lead. Yet his heart is immersed in another universe, influenced by another culture, and lost to a woman not of his world. As Japanese bombs fall on their beloved city, Pearl and May set out on the journey of a lifetime, from the Chinese countryside to the shores of America. So when Kate leaves San Diego to attend college in the small town of Grant, Minnesota, the last thing she expects is to fall in love with Keller Banks. He meets Isabel before beginning his job and the two soon marry, despite Thomas’s worry that she will not adjust to life in isolation.

Journalist and feminist icon Susan Faludi always had a strained relationship with her abusive, estranged father.
