«Cuando los hombres busquen la tierra y los dioses les den las armas, nosotras seguiremos aquí, sosteniendo la tierra». Hace muchos muchos siglos, tres mujeres acudieron a Eea, la remota isla donde vivía Circe, en busca de ayuda. Allí, la hechicera les hizo tomar conciencia de su verdadero poder. Y, cuando les hubo enseñado todo lo necesario, les entregó un maravilloso regalo en favor de su eterna la Rosa de Obsidiana. En el presente, Itzamara viaja a Grecia para cursar un máster en la Universidad de Atenas. Sabe que allí se encuentran sus orígenes, ahora ocultos bajo capas de secretos familiares. Lo que ignora es que su presencia en la ciudad revivirá una lucha ancestral y una búsqueda que la obligará a hacerse preguntas peligrosas sobre sí misma pero también sobre Zane, ese chico tan atractivo como misterioso por quien se siente irremediablemente atraída. ¿Quién escondió la preciada Rosa? ¿Por qué hay gente dispuesta a matar o morir por ella? Y, sobre todo, ¿cambiarán su destino y el de Zane si por fin llega a encontrarla?

Discover the hidden history of women—and the world—through this visual exploration of intimate objects and the surprising, sometimes shocking, stories behind them. “I adored this book!” –Olivia Colman This is a neglected history. Not a sweeping, definitive, exhaustive history of the world but something quieter, more intimate and particular. A single journey, picked out in 101 objects, through the fascinating, too-often-overlooked, manifold histories of women. With engaging prose, compelling stories, and a beautiful full-page image of each object, Annabelle Hirsch curates a diverse compendium of women and their things, uncovering the thoughts and feelings at the heart of women’s daily lives. The result is an intimate and lively alternative history of humans in the world. The objects date from prehistory to today and are assembled chronologically to show the evolution of how women were perceived by others, how they perceived themselves, how they fought for freedom. Some (like a 16th century glass dildo) are objects of female pleasure, some (a thumbscrew) of female subjugation. These are artifacts of women celebrated by history and of women unfairly forgotten by it. With variety and nuance, Hirsch cracks open the fissures of what we think we know to illuminate a much richer What do handprints on early cave paintings tell us about the role of women in hunting? What does a mobile phone have to do with femicides? Or Kim Kardashian’s diamond ring with Elena Ferrante? Wide-ranging, subversive, witty, and superbly researched, this is a book that upends all our assumptions about, and presentations of, the past, proving it has always been as complicated and fascinating as the women that peopled it.

A publishing event ten years in the making—a searing, exquisite new novel by the best-selling and award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists—the story of four women and their loves, longings, and desires. Chiamaka is a Nigerian travel writer living in America. Alone in the midst of the pandemic, she recalls her past lovers and grapples with her choices and regrets. Zikora, her best friend, is a lawyer who has been successful at everything until — betrayed and brokenhearted — she must turn to the person she thought she needed least. Omelogor, Chiamaka’s bold, outspoken cousin, is a financial powerhouse in Nigeria who begins to question how well she knows herself. And Kadiatou, Chiamaka’s housekeeper, is proudly raising her daughter in America – but faces an unthinkable hardship that threatens all she has worked to achieve. In Dream Count, Adichie trains her fierce eye on these women in a sparkling, transcendent novel that takes up the very nature of love itself. Is true happiness ever attainable or is it just a fleeting state? And how honest must we be with ourselves in order to love, and to be loved? A trenchant reflection on the choices we make and those made for us, on daughters and mothers, on our interconnected world, Dream Count pulses with emotional urgency and poignant, unflinching observations on the human heart, in language that soars with beauty and power. It confirms Adichie’s status as one of the most exciting and dynamic writers on the literary landscape.
