Exodul mieilor (The Exodus of The Lambs)

Ficțiunea istorică „Exodul mieilor” pornește de la urmările masacrului comis asupra unei comunități din vestul României, imediat după semnarea Dictatului de la Viena, în anul 1940. Începutul celui de-Al Doilea Război Mondial îi găsește pe Domnica și pe frații Romi și Miculuș la castelul familiei Teleki, acolo unde muncesc ca servitori. Imediat ce află că satul lor a fost atacat, ei pornesc la drum pentru a-și salva mama. Doar că singura cale de scăpare de trupele horthyste înarmate este rețeaua de tuneluri subterane săpate între cetățile Transilvaniei (la începutul cărții există o hartă a acestei rețele), în care refugiații români își caută familiile și calea spre libertate. În Subtărâm au loc confruntări de tot felul, pentru că nu toate galeriile au fost finalizate, proviziile din cămări lipsesc, iar o iscoadă trimisă de maghiari strecoară la interior un sac cu dinamită. În paralel cu drama refugiaților se împletește și povestea de dragoste dintre Romi și Domnica, care se rătăcesc unul de celălalt. Domnica rămâne ostatică într-un cătun locuit de un grup de spioni ruși, în timp ce Romi e urmărit de fiul contelui Teleki și de soldații acestuia. „Exodul mieilor” nu este doar o poveste alertă despre drumuri și hotare, ci și genul de roman care deschide dialoguri pe teme precum exilul, memoria colectivă și drepturile femeilor, îndemnându-ne la final să ne întrebăm: ce preț suntem dispuși să plătim pentru libertate și ce moștenire alegem să lăsăm generațiilor viitoare?

La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community. Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.

Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)

There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.

De beesten

‘Ik wil niet veel zeggen, maar volgens mij ging het al mis met Tom Keller toen die twee ooms hem ’s nachts meenamen naar het bos en hem dingen lieten doen die een jongen van negen nog lang niet zou moeten doen.’ Zo begint De beesten, het romandebuut van Gijs Wilbrink. Het speelt zich af in de Achterhoek, te midden van motoren, stropers, nertsenfokkerijen en handeltjes die het daglicht niet kunnen verdragen. In dit mystieke grensland vol geheimen groeit Tom Keller op, jongste telg van de beruchtste familie van de streek, en gezegend met een van God gegeven talent voor de motocross. Als hij jaren later plotseling verdwijnt, komt zijn opstandige dochter terug naar haar geboortegrond om hem te zoeken, met een dramatische familiereünie tot gevolg.
