Questo sangue masticato
In his debut novel, Francesco Aloia comes to terms with the past and his family, keeping his grandmother Ada's teachings firmly in mind. After leaving home and finding his own path, he returns to the places of his childhood during a summer and confronts a particularly "overbearing" grandfather, Tanino 'e Bastimento, a man of honor who, after a couple of murders and many years in prison, after challenging a Camorra boss, now must face one final duel "in absentia"—this time with his grandson.

Hou je stil
“Een verdwijning van een van ons haalt het nieuws niet, omdat het geen nieuws is. De rest van de wereld denkt niet aan je – niet als ze jouw coke snuiven, niet als ze de kleding dragen die jij maakte, niet als ze je hun land uitzetten.”
Dit is het verhaal over de uit Mexico gevluchte Alex, een teruggetrokken jongen die stage loopt op een Nederlandse universiteit en probeert te redden wat er te redden valt. Om te leven moet hij praten, om te overleven juist niet.
Hou je stil is een meeslepende roman over dichte grenzen en grenzeloze moed, over de kracht van taal en het troebele onderscheid tussen daders en slachtoffers.
Alle personages in dit boek zijn verzonnen. De feiten niet.
Het boek is gebaseerd op jarenlang onderzoek en verhalen van mensen met ervaring met vluchten of uitgezet worden, mensen werkzaam in asielrecht, docenten van verschillende (Mexicaanse) universiteiten, traumapsychologen, mensenrechtenactivisten, journalisten, ondergedoken mensen, en slachtoffers en daders van kartel/bendegeweld. Het verhaal schijnt licht op de impact van (internationale) overheden op individuen alsook op drugs gerelateerd en seksueel geweld. Ook legt dit aangrijpende verhaal de complexe relatie bloot tussen ‘drugslanden’ zoals Mexico en Europa: een continent dat haar grenzen steeds meer optrekt voor asielzoekers en tegelijkertijd een grote cocaïnedoorvoerder en – gebruiker is.

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.
