For readers of Modern Lovers and Conversations with Friends, an addictive, humorous, and poignant debut novel about the shock waves caused by one couple's impulsive marriage. Twenty-four-year-old British painter Cleo has escaped from England to New York and is still finding her place in the sleepless city when, a few months before her student visa ends, she meets Frank. Twenty years older and a self-made success, Frank's life is full of all the excesses Cleo's lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a Green Card. But their impulsive marriage irreversibly changes both their lives, and the lives of those close to them, in ways they never could've predicted. Each compulsively readable chapter explores the lives of Cleo, Frank, and an unforgettable cast of their closest friends and family as they grow up and grow older. Whether it's Cleo's best friend struggling to embrace his gender queerness in the wake of Cleo's marriage, or Frank's financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates to support herself after being cut off, or Cleo and Frank themselves as they discover the trials of marriage and mental illness, each character is as absorbing, and painfully relatable, as the last. As hilarious as it is heartbreaking, entertaining as it is deeply moving, Cleopatra and Frankenstein marks the entry of a brilliant and bold new talent.

If looks could kill, I’d be a charred pile of ash on the sidewalk. I need to know why she hates me. Bay Bishop aka The New Girl is my new neighbor. In her glasses and stage crew black clothes she has a knack for fading into the background. She’s probably the only one who rolls her eyes when I walk past instead of cheering on my last touchdown play. But before I can shove her into the recesses of my mind filed under “Not my problem” she lands herself smack dab in the middle of my dreams. I catch her singing with a voice unlike any I’ve heard before that taps into feelings I shouldn’t have for the girl who avoids me at all costs. With three months until graduation, the final play is on. Only it’s not for more points. It’s for Bay. Unlike my success on the field, this win is anything but assured. But I can’t stop myself from taking the risk. There’s no flashing scoreboard. There’s no cheering crowd. There’s only her and me. The countdown clock is ticking. The only thing scarier than finding my first love will be losing her. The Art of Falling for You is the first book in the new Fulton U universe sports romance, Falling trilogy.

Despiadadament addictiu.» ROBERT SHAPLEN, THE NEW YORK TIMES Les aigües fosques i glaçades del riu Blackwater inunden Perdido, un petit poble al sud d'Alabama. Allà, els Caskey, un clan de rics terratinents, intenten fer front als danys causats per la riuada.

Primer hi ha la tempesta i el llamp i la mort d’en Domènec, el pagès poeta. Després, la Dolceta, que no pot parar de riure mentre explica les històries de les quatre dones penjades per bruixes. La Sió, que ha de pujar tota sola la Mia i l’Hilari allà dalt, a Matavaques. I les trompetes de la mort que, amb el seu barret negre i apetitós, anuncien la immutabilitat del cicle de la vida. Canto jo i la muntanya balla és una novel·la en què prenen la paraula dones i homes, fantasmes i dones d’aigua, núvols i bolets, gossos i cabirols que habiten entre Camprodon i Prats de Molló. Una zona d’alta muntanya i fronterera que, més enllà de la llegenda, guarda la memòria de segles de lluita per la supervivència, de persecucions guiades per la ignorància i el fanatisme, de guerres fratricides, però que encarna també una bellesa a la qual no calen gaires adjectius. Un terreny fèrtil per a deixar anar la imaginació i el pensament, les ganes de parlar i d’explicar històries. Un lloc, potser, per a començar de nou; un lloc per a una certa redempció. 4t Premi Llibres Anagrama de Novel·la 2019
