schervenstad

Nadine en haar tweelingbroer Isaac zijn op hun veertiende door het stukgelopen huwelijk van hun ouders ook van elkaar gescheiden. Isaac vertrekt met hun Libanese vader naar diens geboorteland, terwijl Nadine met hun Nederlandse moeder achterblijft in Noord-Limburg. Als de wereld jaren later wordt opgeschrikt door een explosie in de haven van Beiroet, weet Nadine één ding zeker: ze moet erheen.

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.

De stem van Sulina

Een lyrische roman over de geboorte van een moeder, zwervende zielen en de ziel van het zwerven, geschreven met de stuwende kracht van een wereldrivier. Terwijl een donkere schaduw over de weerkaarten van Midden-Europa glijdt, reist een vrouw in een busje langs de oevers van de Donau, van de bron in het Zwarte Woud tot de monding in de Zwarte Zee. Welke stemmen stijgen op uit de rivier? Archeologische opgravingen en eeuwenoude verhalen, confronterende vragen en dromen, lichamelijke transformaties en vergeten vrouwen geven richting aan de mentale reis van een jonge schrijfster die moeder wordt.
