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.

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.
