American Mother

Colum McCann, Diane Foley
- Bloomsbury
- 2 Février 2024
- 9781526663474
The English language has no specific word for the parent that has lost a child. There exist words for orphan, widow and widower, but there is no word that captures and conveys this tragic type of loss.

It has been eleven years since Diane Foley''s son, the American journalist James Foley, was kidnapped in northern Syria, and nearly ten since that day in August 2014 when she would learn that he had been murdered by ISIS in a public beheading that would ricochet in video around the world. A whole decade. Time rushes past. And yet, for Diane, that moment is unending.

In American Mother, legendary author Colum McCann tells Diane''s story as she recalls the months of his captivity, the efforts made to bring him home and the days following his death, in which Diane came face to face with one of the men responsible for her son''s kidnapping and torture. A testament to the power of radical empathy and moral courage, American Mother takes us inside one woman''s extraordinary journey to find connection in a world torn asunder, and to fight for others as a way to keep her son''s memory alive.>

An unforgettable historical debut set in Second World War Brussels: exploring love, resistance and courage in all their forms

1939. Art student Charlotte Sauvin and her father wake up in their apartment at 33 Place Brugmann to discover that their closest neighbours and friends - the Raphael family on the fourth floor, and Russian seamstress Masha on the fifth - have vanished overnight without a word.

While the Raphaels and Masha are flung on their own adventures across the continent - from occupied Paris to Blitz London, where they reinvent themselves as refugees, nurses, soldiers, heroes - Charlotte and the rest of her neighbours at Place Brugmann have their own choices to make in a city cast under the deep shadow of occupation.

Over the course of the war, every member of this accidental community will discover that they are not the person they believed themselves to be. And when tested, each will confront the truth about what, and who, matters to them the most.

Uplifting, sweeping and full of unforgettable characters, 33 Place Brugmann is a novel about beauty, family, friendship and home: and how the courage to resist can be found in the most surprising places.

* THE TOP 10 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *

''One of the finest contemporary novels I''ve read ... A moral masterpiece'' ANN PATCHETT

''Her writing has a luminous kind of clarity, a grace and scope that fills me with wonder'' RACHEL JOYCE

''Damning and dazzling ... The story of a Vietnam we never got in history class'' OPRAH DAILY

-----------------

You have no idea what it was like. For us. The women, I mean. The wives.

1963. Saigon. Tricia is a shy newlywed, married to a rising attorney working for US Navy intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three, a beauty and a bully. The two women form a wary alliance as they struggle to balance the pressure to be respectable wives for their ambitious husbands, with their own dubious impulses to "do good" for the people of Vietnam.

Sixty years later, Charlene''s daughter, spurred by an encounter with an aging Vietnam veteran, reaches out to Tricia. Together, they look back at their time in Saigon, discovering how their lives as women on the periphery - of politics, of history, of war, of their husbands'' convictions - have been shaped and burdened by the unintended consequences of America''s tragic interference in Southeast Asia.

Exploring the disaster of the Vietnam War through the lives built by American wives in 1960s Saigon, this is a virtuosic novel about folly and grace, obligation, sacrifice and the quest for absolution in a broken world.>

Jump into the world of Fable with this exciting new prequel to the New York Times-bestselling novel by Adrienne Young. Join Saint and Isolde, Fable's star-crossed parents, on this adventure with romance, treasure, and heartbreak.

As a boy, Elias learned the hard way what happens when you don't heed the old tales.

Nine years after his lack of superstition got his father killed, he's grown into a young man of piety, with a deep reverence for the hallowed sea and her fickle favor. As stories of the fisherman's son who has managed to escape the most deadly of storms spreads from port to port, his devotion to the myths and creeds has given him the reputation of the luckiest bastard to sail the Narrows.

Now, he's mere days away from getting everything his father ever dreamed for him: a ship of his own, a crew, and a license that names him as one of the first Narrows-born traders. But when a young dredger from the Unnamed Sea with more than one secret crosses his path, Elias' faith will be tested like never before. The greater the pull he feels toward her, the farther he drifts from the things he's spent the last three years working for.

He is dangerously close to repeating his mistakes and he's seen first hand how vicious the jealous sea can be. If he's going to survive her retribution, he will have to decide which he wants more, the love of the girl who could change their shifting world, or the sacred beliefs that earned him the name that he's known for-Saint.

Until, to the horror of the islanders, one of their beloved scientists is found brutally stabbed to death. And they learn the murder has triggered a lowering of the security system around the island, the only thing that was keeping the fog at bay.
