Bennett’s The Vanishing Half and David Chariandy’s Brother When 24-year-old Kareela discovers she’s pregnant with a child she isn’t sure she wants, it amplifies her struggle to understand her place in the world as a woman who is half-Black and half-white, yet feels neither.Her mother, Evelyn, fled to Canada with her husband and their first-born child, Antony, during the politically charged Jamaican Exodus of the 1980s, only to realize they’d come to a place where Black men are viewed with suspicion—a constant and pernicious reality Evelyn watches her husband and son navigate daily.Years later, in the aftermath of Antony’s murder by the police, Evelyn’s mother-in-law, Violet, moves in, offering young Kareela a link to the Jamaican heritage she has never fully known. Despite Violet’s efforts to help them through their grief, the traumas they carry grow into a web of secrets that threatens the very family they all hold so dear.Back in the present, Kareela, prompted by fear and uncertainty about the new life she carries, must come to terms with the mysteries surrounding her family’s past and the need to make sense of both her identity and her future.Weaving the women’s stories across multiple timelines, We Rip the World Apart reveals the ways that simple choices, made in the heat of the moment and with the best of intentions, can have deeper repercussions than could ever have been imagined, especially when people remain silent.Yara

IN FALL 2023PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BIG INDIE BOOKS OF FALL 2023From the author of Maidenhead, a reverse cautionary tale about a young woman exploring the boundaries of sex and belonging in the early 2000sDistraught that her teenage daughter is in love with a woman a decade older, Yara’s mother sends her away from their home in Brazil to Israel, on a Birthright trip for Jewish youth. Freed from her increasingly controlling and jealous girlfriend, Yara is determined to forge her own path and follow her desires. But Birthright takes a debaucherous turn, and Yara flees Israel for Toronto and then California. As she wanders, Yara is forced to reframe her relationship and her ideas around consent. Set in the sex-tape-panicked early 2000s, Yara is a reverse cautionary tale about what the body can teach us."Tamara Faith Berger is one of our best writers of the body, capturing in sharp, red-hot prose its raw animal urges, its often confused and contradictory desires, and the way our search for pleasure can be both liberatory and self-annihilating. Like Israel, bodies are contested territories, and in Berger's revelatory new novel, Yara seeks to wrest control and meaning from the forces that seek to instrumentalize hers: nationalism, capitalism, pornography, and lovers." – Jordan Tannahill, author of The Listeners"Yara is a complicated novel about the confusions of consent and kinship, the way love makes victims of us all, told with cool, epigrammatic verve. As raw, destabilizing and searching as its titular protagonist, it's Berger's best book yet." – Jason McBride, author of Eat Your Mind"Canada’s finest and boldest writer. Tamara Faith Berger is my favourite ball buster." – Anakana Schofield, author of Bina: A Novel in WarningsYo también no es te quiero

La pluma de Violeta Reed es actual, divertida y cautivadora, y el tira y afloja de William y Raquel engancha desde el minuto cero, pero ten cuidado: esta historia a fuego lento te derretirá por dentro. ELENA ARMAS ESCRIBIR ROMANCE NUNCA FUE TAN COMPLICADOWilliam Anderson es el escritor de fantasía más exitoso de la década, con millones de lectores enganchados a su pluma. Es exigente, ambicioso… y tremendamente atractivo. Y también es un bocazas. Raquel García es una joven española que llegó a Nueva York persiguiendo su sueño: trabajar en una de las editoriales más importantes del país. Lo que no imaginaba es que, para conseguirlo, debería lidiar con Anderson después de que este, con más ego que sentido común, prometa en un reconocido programa de televisión que su próximo libro será el best seller de romántica del año. William no está dispuesto a dejarse corregir y Raquel no va a pasarle ni una, sobre todo si lo que escribe está lleno de clichés pasados de moda. Condenados a entenderse, tendrán que trabajar juntos para superar un gran reto: sacar adelante la novela que cambiará sus vidas.UNA HISTORIA DE AMOR CORREGIDA EN BOLI ROJOBeauchamp Hall

sobre cuatro amigos que tratan de aferrarse a su propia tradición navideña en la ciudad de Nueva York, perfecta para los fans de Gente que conocemos de vacaciones y Un día de diciembre.Durante diez años, Hannah y Finn han pasado las navidades juntos. Al no tener a nadie con quien compartirlas (los padres de Hannah murieron y los de Finn lo desheredaron cuando salió del armario), han creado sus propias tradiciones: desgañitarse en un karaoke detrás de un restaurante de Chinatown, saludar desde la carroza de un desfile, patinar sobre hielo bajo el árbol del Rockefeller Center... A lo largo de los años, se les han unido la moderna Priya y el misterioso Theo, y juntos han creado el Club de la Navidad.Sin embargo, todo está a punto de cambiar para siempre. Finn tiene una noticia que hace que los cimientos del grupo se tambaleen: esta Navidad podría ser la última que compartan. A Hannah le aterroriza perder la familia que tanto le ha costado encontrar, y a Finn, enfrentarse a todo lo que va a dejar atrás... Concretamente, a lo que siente por Theo.Sin embargo, avanzar no siempre implica distanciarse y puede que, estas navidades, los cambios que tanto temen sean precisamente los que más necesitan.
