Yesteryear
Caro Claire Burke
A traditional American woman, a âtradwifeâ influencer, suddenly awakens in the brutal reality of 1855âwhere she must unravel whether this living nightmare is an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, or something far more sinister in this sensational debut novel. My name was Natalie Heller Mills, and I was perfect at being alive. Natalie lives a traditional lifestyle. Her charming farmhouse is rustic, her husband a handsome cowboy, her six children each more delightful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers behind the scenes, her kitchen hiding industrial-grade fridges and ovens, her husband the heir to a political dynasty? What Natalieâs followersâall 8 million of themâdonât know wonât hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged, Ivy League, coastal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? Theyâre sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isnât simply living the good life, sheâs living the idealâand just so happens to be building an empire from it. Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isnât hers. Her home, her husband, her childrenâtheyâre all familiar, but somethingâs off. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity, her children are dirty and strange, and her soft-handed husband is suddenly a competent farmer. Just yesterday Natalie was curating photos of homemade jam for her Instagram, and now sheâs expected to haul firewood and handwash clothes until her fingers bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a ruthless reality show? Could it really be time travel? Is she being tested by God? By Satan? When Natalie suffers a brutal injury in the woods, she realizes two things: This is not her beautiful life, and she must escape by any means possible. A gripping, electrifying novel that is as darkly funny as it is frightening, Yesteryear is a gimlet-eyed look at tradition, fame, faith, and the grand performance of womanhood.

Rósa & Björk (Hildur, #2)
Satu RÀmö
Kun vallanhimo iskee, tulee ruumiita! RĂłsa & Björk on toinen osa nordic noirille uskollista Hildur-dekkarisarjaa, jossa on ripaus islantilaista mystiikkaa. SyrjĂ€isillĂ€ Islannin vuonoilla tapahtuu outo murha. Vaikutusvaltainen kunnallispoliitikko löydetÀÀn ammuttuna hiihtoladulta. Murhaa tutkiessaan rikosetsivĂ€, Atlantin hyisissĂ€ aalloissa surffaava Hildur RĂșnarsdĂłttir ja suomalainen poliisiharjoittelija, villapaitojen neulomiseen hurahtanut Jakob Johanson joutuvat vaikean kysymyksen eteen. Kannattaako kaikkia salaisuuksia selvittÀÀ? Hildurin lapsuudessa syntyneet traumat palaavat, kun kauan sitten kadonneiden siskojen, RĂłsan ja Björkin, mysteeri alkaa aueta. Jakob yrittÀÀ pitÀÀ pÀÀnsĂ€ kylmĂ€nĂ€ keskellĂ€ vaikeaa huoltajuusriitaa. Paha löytyy usein lĂ€heltĂ€, mutta ihmisten lĂ€heisyys on silti suurin voimavara, joka meillĂ€ on.

Le couple et l'argent
Titiou Lecoq
Enfants, les filles reçoivent moins dâargent de poche que les garçons et ne bĂ©nĂ©ficient souvent dâaucune Ă©ducation financiĂšre. En couple, leur salaire est affectĂ© le plus souvent aux dĂ©penses courantes, alors que celui des hommes sâinvestit dans les biens durables (logement, travaux, voiture). Au supermarchĂ©, les mĂȘmes objets sont jusquâĂ 15% plus chers quand ils sont destinĂ©s aux femmes:on appelle cela la «taxe rose»! AprĂšs chaque grossesse, lâinĂ©galitĂ© salariale triple, passant de 7% Ă 23 %. La notion de mĂ©nage fiscal leur est souvent dĂ©favorable⊠RĂ©sultat : en France, entre 1998 et 2015, lâinĂ©galitĂ© de patrimoine entre femmes et hommes est passĂ©e de 9 % Ă 16 % alors mĂȘme que si lâon additionne leur travail salariĂ© et leur travail domestique, elles travaillent pourtant beaucoup plus que les hommes⊠Tout au long de la vie dâune femme, les inĂ©galitĂ©s financiĂšres et Ă©conomiques sâinstallent et se creusent inexorablement. Pour mieux comprendre le rapport des femmes Ă lâargent, les mĂ©canismes toujours Ă lâĆuvre dans leur appauvrissement et proposer des clĂ©s pour les dĂ©jouer, Titiou Lecoq remonte lâHistoire qui les a si longtemps exclues des mondes de lâargent et sâappuie sur de nombreuses Ă©tudes Ă©conomiques contemporaines et des analyses dâexperts. Avec son art de la pĂ©dagogie, mĂȘlant lâanecdote personnelle et lâenquĂȘte mĂ©ticuleuse, Titiou Lecoq nous rappelle ainsi que lâargent nâest pas encore neutre mais quâil doit le devenir pour quâun euro gagnĂ© par une femme devienne lâĂ©quivalent dâun euro gagnĂ© par un homme. Une Ă©ducation financiĂšre indispensable pour tous !
