Through Anna's eyes we follow the story of the fateful year of 1666, as she and her fellow villagers confront the spread of disease and superstition.

As death reaches into every household and villagers turn from prayers to murderous witch-hunting, Anna must find the strength to confront the disintegration of her community and the lure of illicit love.

As she struggles to survive and grow, a year of catastrophe becomes instead annus mirabilis, a "year of wonders."

Inspired by the true story of Eyam, a village in the rugged hill country of England, Year of Wonders is a richly detailed evocation of a singular moment in history. ]]> 304 Geraldine Brooks 0142001430 Diana 0 books-i-own 4.00 2001 Year of Wonders

You’re about to discover weight loss motivation - a true 100 pound weight loss success story - getting fit and losing weight from the perspective of someone who UNDERSTANDS what it's like to be obese.

When you feel yourself losing control with food, are forced to buy bigger and bigger clothes to fit your growing body, and suffer with the negative emotions and illnesses associated with being obese, you want to know that there is a way out. Eating less and working out are the obvious fixes for this problem, but the truth is most overweight people keep themselves from weight loss success for emotional reasons. If you’re like most overweight people, you need inspiration! You want to know what it feels like, both emotionally and physically, to lose weight so that you can take the leap into health and fitness yourself!

My Fitness Butler is a weight loss memoir written by a middle aged woman who started her journey at more than 300 pounds. Darci Balogh, a 320 pound newly divorced single mother of two, decided to change her life at the age of 38. She hired a personal trainer, Nate, and with his support, a membership to a gym and countless battles with her own emotional demons, Darci peeled off over 100 pounds in one year AND she kept track of every day she spent working out with her trainer.

If you have 20, 50, or even 100 or more pounds to lose, this book will show you how Darci dealt with having a personal trainer, losing weight, and reaching her goals. It will inspire you to find your own obesity cure - your own path to freedom and happiness. She shares every step of her journey of weight loss and emotional turmoil with humor and insight that will help you through your toughest challenges of losing weight.

My Fitness Butler is a true story of healing, dedication, and friendship that will inspire you to face your own demons, lose your own extra weight and live the life that you, that everybody, deserves.

"For anyone out there who suffers under the tormenting thought “I can’t do it”, I’m here to tell you…you can" - Darci Balogh

]]> <![CDATA[Saving Grace: A Memoir of Weight Loss]]> 40075001 'I have been overweight for more than 45 years. I've tried every diet going and been caught on a treadmill of guilt deprivation defiance self-indulgence and despair.'

Twelve years ago Grace Kitto was a successful TV producer wife and mother. She was also clinically obese and on the path to Type 2 diabetes. Until one day when she left work determined to stick to one of her serial diets but soon found herself eating an ice cream as if on autopilot. It sparked an epiphany – she realised the solution to her many failed diets lay in her unconscious. In the powerful instinctual part of her brain.

This is her funny and courageous memoir of that journey the questions she posed and discoveries she made within the fields of psychology neuroscience and biochemistry. She devised her own self-help system, a slow diet, and three-and-a-half years later, she reached her goal of a BMI of 25. Another three years on, she’s still there.

'When is it ever going to change? Every dieter knows the despair of thinking that. When is it going to change? The answer is right here right now on this page.']]> 288 Grace Kitto 1910463930 Diana 0 to-read 3.87 Saving Grace: A Memoir of Weight Loss

]]> Fathers and Sons 19117
Fathers and Sons enraged the old and the young, reactionaries, romantics, and radicals alike when it was first published. At the same time, Turgenev won the acclaim of Flaubert, Maupassant, and Henry James for his craftsmanship as a writer and his psychological insight. Fathers and Sons is now considered one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century.

A timeless depiction of generational conflict during social upheaval, it vividly portrays the clash between the older Russian aristocracy and the youthful radicalism that foreshadowed the revolution to come—and offers modern-day readers much to reflect upon as they look around at their own tumultuous, ever changing world.

]]> The Mistress 29974914 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Incomparable storyteller Danielle Steel illuminates rarely glimpsed precincts of unimaginable wealth and power, where love and freedom are the most dangerous desires of all. Natasha Leonova’s beauty saved her life. Discovered starving on a freezing Moscow street by a Russian billionaire, she has lived for seven years under his protection, immersed in rarefied luxury, while he pursues his activities in a dark world that she guesses at but never sees. Her home is the world, often on one of Vladimir Stanislas’s spectacular yachts manned by scores of heavily armed crew members. Natasha’s job is to keep Vladimir happy, ask no questions, and be discreet. She knows her place, and the rules. She feels fortunate to be spoiled and protected, and is careful not to dwell on Vladimir’s ruthlessness or the deadly circles he moves in. She experiences only his kindness and generosity and believes he will always keep her safe. She is unfailingly loyal to him in exchange. Theo Luca is the son of a brilliant, world famous, and difficult artist, Lorenzo Luca, who left his wife and son with a fortune in artwork they refuse to sell. Lorenzo’s widow, Maylis, has transformed their home in St. Paul de Vence into a celebrated restaurant decorated with her late husband’s paintings, and treats it as a museum. There, on a warm June evening, Theo first encounters Natasha, the most exquisite woman he has ever seen. And there, Vladimir lays eyes on Luca’s artwork. Two dangerous obsessions begin. Theo, a gifted artist in his own right, finds himself feverishly painting Natasha’s image for weeks after their first meeting. Vladimir, enraged that Lorenzo’s works are not for sale, is determined to secure a painting at any price. And Natasha, who knows that she cannot afford to make even one false move, nevertheless begins to think of a world of freedom she can never experience as Vladimir’s mistress. She cannot risk her safety for another man, or even a conversation with him, as Theo longs for a woman he can never have. From Moscow to the Riviera, London, and Paris, The Mistress is a riveting tale of vast fortune, cruelty, creative genius, and daring courage, as uncompromising individuals chart a course for collision.]]> 373 Danielle Steel 0425285359 Diana 2 3.95 2017 The Mistress

Lula Ann ist ein so tiefschwarzes Baby, dass ihre Mutter Sweetness bei der Geburt fast zu Tode erschrickt und der Vater die junge Familie auf der Stelle verlässt, weil er nicht glauben kann, dass dieses Kind von ihm ist. Sweetness erzieht Lula Ann zu Gehorsam und Unterwürfigkeit, nur nicht auffallen, aus Angst vor rassistischen Angriffen.

Doch die heranwachsende Tochter sträubt sich gegen die verordnete Angepasstheit. Sie ändert ihren Namen, in Bride, kleidet sich in provokant strahlendes Weiß, macht Karriere bei einer Kosmetikfirma, verliebt sich in einen geheimnisvollen Mann und befreit sich auf ihre Weise von der Vergangenheit.

Zwei starke Frauen, zwei verschiedene Lebensentwürfe, in dem Versuch, sich zu schützen und gleichzeitig zu behaupten. Ein Roman, der zur Weltliteratur gehört.]]> 208 Toni Morrison 3498045318 Diana 4 3.65 2015 Gott, hilf dem Kind

Having endured more than their share of tragedy, sisters Lily and Sasha embark on a dream holiday—only to find themselves in hell. Kidnapped by a rich madman, Sasha is sold into slavery, while Lily is forced to join The Collection, a unique bevy of exotic beauties enduring frequent horrors at the hands of elite bidders. However, no amount of pain and suffering will break Lily, who will stop at nothing to save her younger sister. Possibly with help from an unlikely ally.

Love is stronger than loyalty…

Attempting to prove his allegiance to his employer, Jake is tasked with guarding the unruly and uncontrollable Lily. He can’t afford to help her in her quest to free Sasha—not if he hopes to fulfill his own agenda. But in their dark, gritty, tension-filled world, solace is taken wherever it’s found. Bonds are formed and hearts engage despite Jake’s resistance and both their attempts at self-preservation.

When certain secrets come to light, the resulting explosion has breathtakingly bittersweet consequences that, by the end, may not leave everyone whole…or alive.]]> 314 Evie Harper Diana 1 audiobooks-i-listened-to 3.90 2014 You Loved Me At My Darkest (You Loved Me, #1)

]]> <![CDATA[The Rosie Project (Don Tillman, #1)]]> 16181775
Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty with social rituals has convinced him that he is simply not wired for romance. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a “wonderful” husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and he embarks upon The Wife Project. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things, Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical—most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver.

Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent—and on a quest of her own. She is looking for her biological father, a search that a certain DNA expert might be able to help her with. Don's Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie—and the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper.

The Rosie Project is a moving and hilarious novel for anyone who has ever tenaciously gone after life or love in the face of overwhelming challenges.]]> 292 Graeme Simsion 1476729085 Diana 3 audiobooks-i-listened-to 4.00 2013 The Rosie Project (Don Tillman, #1)

]]> <![CDATA[Maha, die Tänzerin meine Reise in die Welt eines orientalischen Rotlichtviertels]]> 1399743 The dancing girls of Lahore inhabit the Diamond Market in the shadow of a great mosque. The twenty-first century goes on outside the walls of this ancient quarter but scarcely registers within. Though their trade can be described with accuracy as prostitution, the dancing girls have an illustrious history: Beloved by emperors and nawabs, their sophisticated art encompassed the best of Mughal culture. The modern-day Bollywood aesthetic, with its love of gaudy spectacle, music, and dance, is their distant legacy. But the life of the pampered courtesan is not the one now being lived by Maha and her three girls. What they do is forbidden by Islam, though tolerated; but they are gandi, "unclean," and Maha's daughters, like her, are born into the business and will not leave it.

Sociologist Louise Brown spent four years in the most intimate study of the family life of a Lahori dancing girl. With beautiful understatement, she turns a novelist's eye on a true story that beggars the imagination. Maha, a classically trained dancer of exquisite grace, had her virginity sold to a powerful Arab sheikh at the age of twelve; when her own daughter Nena comes of age and Maha cannot bring in the money she once did, she faces a terrible decision as the agents of the sheikh come calling once more.

]]> The Nest 25781157 A warm, funny and acutely perceptive debut novel about four adult siblings and the fate of the shared inheritance that has shaped their choices and their lives.

Every family has its problems. But even among the most troubled, the Plumb family stands out as spectacularly dysfunctional. Years of simmering tensions finally reach a breaking point on an unseasonably cold afternoon in New York City as Melody, Beatrice, and Jack Plumb gather to confront their charismatic and reckless older brother, Leo, freshly released from rehab. Months earlier, an inebriated Leo got behind the wheel of a car with a nineteen-year-old waitress as his passenger. The ensuing accident has endangered the Plumbs’ joint trust fund, “The Nest,” which they are months away from finally receiving. Meant by their deceased father to be a modest mid-life supplement, the Plumb siblings have watched The Nest’s value soar along with the stock market and have been counting on the money to solve a number of self-inflicted problems.

Melody, a wife and mother in an upscale suburb, has an unwieldy mortgage and looming college tuition for her twin teenage daughters. Jack, an antiques dealer, has secretly borrowed against the beach cottage he shares with his husband, Walker, to keep his store open. And Bea, a once-promising short-story writer, just can’t seem to finish her overdue novel. Can Leo rescue his siblings and, by extension, the people they love? Or will everyone need to reimagine the future they’ve envisioned? Brought together as never before, Leo, Melody, Jack, and Beatrice must grapple with old resentments, present-day truths, and the significant emotional and financial toll of the accident, as well as finally acknowledge the choices they have made in their own lives.

This is a story about the power of family, the possibilities of friendship, the ways we depend upon one another and the ways we let one another down. In this tender, entertaining, and deftly written debut, Sweeney brings a remarkable cast of characters to life to illuminate what money does to relationships, what happens to our ambitions over the course of time, and the fraught yet unbreakable ties we share with those we love.]]> 353 Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney 0062414216 Diana 5 3.37 2016 The Nest

Aber Vorsicht: Nach diesem Buch ist das Leben definitiv anders!

Jen Sinceros eigenes Leben war lange Zeit alles andere als berauschend: Sie hangelte sich von einem schlechten Job zum nächsten, hatte nie genug Geld und fuhr ein Auto, das fast auseinanderfiel. Bis sie entschied, dass sie etwas ändern muss. Sie las gefühlt jedes Selbsthilfebuch auf dieser Welt und ging zu Seminaren, bei denen man Leute umarmen oder seine Wut an einem Kissen auslassen musste. Und – es half. Jen Sincero schrieb ihr erstes Buch und schließlich noch ein zweites, das zu einem Bestseller wurde. Sie arbeitete als Coach, gab Seminare, reiste um die Welt und sprach vor großem Publikum. Sie erreichte genau das, wovon sie immer geträumt hatte.
Jetzt gibt Jen Sincero ihre Erkenntnisse und ihr Wissen weiter und zeigt, wie man die Fähigkeiten, die in einem schlummern, endlich zum Blühen bringt. Es geht darum, sich glasklar darüber zu werden, was einen glücklich macht und wobei man sich am lebendigsten fühlt, und es dann mutig umzusetzen, statt sich einzureden, man könnte es nicht schaffen.]]> 304 Jen Sincero Diana 4 audiobooks-i-listened-to 3.55 2013 Du bist der Hammer!

]]> <![CDATA[If You Stay (Beautifully Broken, #1)]]> 17032328 Seriously.

He’s a tattooed, rock-hard bad-boy with a bad attitude to match.

But he’s got his reasons.

His mother died when Pax was seven, leaving a hole in his heart filled with guilt although he doesn’t understand why. What he does know is that he and his dad are left alone and with more issues than they can count.

As Pax grew up, he tried to be the kid his father always wanted; the perfect golden boy, but it didn’t work. His dad couldn’t overcome his grief long enough to notice and Pax couldn’t keep up the impossible perfect façade.
So he slipped far, far from it.

Now, he uses drugs and women to cope with the ugliness, the black void that he doesn’t want to deal with. If he pretends that the emptiness isn’t there, then it isn’t, right?
Wrong.

And it’s never more apparent than when he meets Mila.
Sweet, beautiful Mila Hill is the fresh air to his hardened frown, the beauty to his ugly heart. He doesn’t know how to not hurt her, but he quickly realizes that he’s got to figure it out because he needs her to breathe.

When memories of his mother’s death resurface from where he’s repressed them for so long, Mila is there to catch him when the guilt starts making sense. Mila is the one…the one who can save him from his broken troubled heart; from his issues, from the emptiness.

But only if he can stop being an asshole long enough to allow it.

He knows that. And he’s working on it.

But is that enough to make her stay?]]> 220 Courtney Cole Diana 2 audiobooks-i-listened-to 3.94 2013 If You Stay (Beautifully Broken, #1)

"This is a record of hate far more than of love," writes Maurice Bendrix in the opening passages of The End of the Affair, and it is a strange hate indeed that compels him to set down the retrospective account of his adulterous affair with Sarah Miles.

Now, a year after Sarah's death, Bendrix seeks to exorcise the persistence of his passion by retracing its course from obsessive love to love-hate. At first, he believes he hates Sarah and her husband, Henry. Yet as he delves deeper into his emotional outlook, Bendrix's hatred shifts to the God he feels has broken his life, but whose existence at last comes to recognize.]]> 160 Graham Greene Diana 5 3.91 1951 The End of the Affair

]]> <![CDATA[Out of Character: Surprising Truths About the Liar, Cheat, Sinner (and Saint) Lurking in All of Us]]> 10929824  
Or have you ever pondered what might make Mr. Right leave his beloved at the altar, why hypocrisy seems to be rampant, or even why, every once in awhile, even you are secretly tempted, to lie, cheat, or steal (or, conversely, help someone you never even met)?
 
This book answers these questions and more, and in doing so, turns the prevailing wisdom about who we are upside down. Our character, argue psychologists DeSteno and Valdesolo, isn’t a stable set of traits, but rather a shifting state that is subject to the constant push and pull of hidden mechanisms in our mind.  And it's the battle between these dueling psychological forces that determine how we act at any given point in time. 
 
Drawing on the surprising results of the clever experiments concocted in their own laboratory, DeSteno and Valdesolo shed new scientific light on so many of the puzzling behaviors that regularly grace the headlines.  For example, you’ll learn:

   • Why Tiger Woods just couldn’t resist the allure of his mistresses even though he had a picture-perfect family at home. And why no one, including those who knew him best, ever saw it coming. 

   • Why even the shrewdest of investors can be tempted to gamble their fortunes away (and why risky financial behavior is driven by the same mechanisms that compel us to root for the underdog in sports). 

   • Why Eliot Spitzer, who made a career of crusading against prostitution, turned out to be one of the most famous johns of all time.  

   • Why Mel Gibson, a noted philanthropist and devout Catholic, has been repeatedly caught spewing racist rants, even though close friends say he doesn’t have a racist bone in his body. 

   • And why any of us is capable of doing the same, whether we believe it or not!

A surprising look at the hidden forces driving the saint and sinner lurking in us all, Out of Character reveals why human behavior is so much more unpredictable than we ever realized.

]]> Angst vorm Sterben 29071814
Ein Buch über das richtige Leben, die eigene Endlichkeit, Liebe und sexuelle Erfüllung: für alle Frauen zwischen 30 und 80 Jahren. ›Angst vorm Sterben‹ ist die große Sensation nach ›Angst vorm Fliegen‹.

Die coole New Yorkerin Vanessa Wonderman trennen rund zwanzig Jahre von ihrem älteren Ehemann und ihrer vergangenen Schauspielkarriere. Das Alter macht sie zunehmend unsichtbar und irgendwie ist ihr die Leidenschaft ihrer Jugend abhandengekommen.

Der Tod ihrer Eltern klopft schon leise an, ihr Ehemann Asher bricht zusammen und ihr Pudel Belinda stirbt. Während Vanessa sich um ihre Familie kümmert und von Krankenhaus zu Krankenhaus hetzt, wird ihr Hunger nach Leben größer. Sie sehnt sich nach Körperlichkeit und ist bereit, für ihre Phantasien einiges auszuprobieren.
Um dem Alter und dem nahenden Tod, der sie umgibt, zu entfliehen, macht sie sich mutig auf die Suche nach einer Affäre. Ihre Sehnsucht nach Leben, Glück und Leidenschaft treibt sie in die skurrile Welt des New Yorker Datingjungles und eröffnet ihr tiefe Einsichten in die großen Fragen des Lebens.

Die Ikone der sexuellen Befreiung der Frau, Erica Jong, die mit ihrem Roman ›Angst vorm Fliegen‹ weltberühmt wurde, packt schonungslos und unverblümt die großen Themen des Lebens an.

Komisch, heiter, mutig – bei Erica Jong geht es um alles: das richtige Leben, Liebe, den Frieden mit der eigenen Endlichkeit – und wie sie davon erzählt, ist einzigartig.]]> 368 Erica Jong 3100024850 Diana 4 3.00 2015 Angst vorm Sterben

]]> Brief einer Unbekannten 182185
Un amour total, passionnel, désintéressé, tapi dans l’ombre, n’attendant rien en retour que de pouvoir le confesser. Une blessure vive, la perte d’un enfant, symbole de cet amour que le temps n’a su effacer ni entamer. L’être aimé objet d’une admiration infinie mais lucide. Une déclaration fanatique, fiévreuse, pleine de tendresse et de folie. La voix d’une femme qui se meurt doucement, sans s’apitoyer sur elle-même, tout entière tournée vers celui qu’elle admire plus que tout. La voix d’une femme qui s’est donnée tout entière à un homme, qui jamais ne l’a reconnue.
Avec Lettre d’une inconnue, Stefan Zweig pousse plus loin encore l’analyse du sentiment amoureux et de ses ravages, en nous offrant un cri déchirant d’une profonde humanité. Ici nulle confusion des sentiments : la passion est absolue, sans concession, si pure qu’elle touche au sublime.]]> 96 Stefan Zweig 3596130247 Diana 4 4.20 1922 Brief einer Unbekannten

The only edition of the beloved classic that is authorized by Fitzgerald’s family and from his lifelong publisher.

This edition is the enduring original text, updated with the author’s own revisions, a foreword by his granddaughter, and with a new introduction by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward.

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published by Scribner in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.]]> 180 F.

]]> The Post-Birthday World 393060
Children's book illustrator Irina McGovern enjoys a quiet and settled life in London with her partner, fellow American expatriate Lawrence Trainer, a smart, loyal, disciplined intellectual at a prestigious think tank. To their small circle of friends, their relationship is rock solid. Until the night Irina unaccountably finds herself dying to kiss another man: their old friend from South London, the stylish, extravagant, passionate top-ranking snooker player Ramsey Acton. The decision to give in to temptation will have consequences for her career, her relationships with family and friends, and perhaps most importantly the texture of her daily life.

Hinging on a single kiss, this enchanting work of fiction depicts Irina's alternating futures with two men temperamentally worlds apart yet equally honorable. With which true love Irina is better off is neither obvious nor easy to determine, but Shriver's exploration of the two destinies is memorable and gripping. Poignant and deeply honest, written with the subtlety and wit that are the hallmarks of Shriver's work, The Post-Birthday World appeals to the what-if in us all.

Gordon, a psychiatrist, keeps Louisa in his thrall with his almost omniscient ability to see through her and she, in turn, is gripped by the deep, unexpected pleasure of complete submission. As they venture further and further into the depths -- both psychological and sexual -- she begins, for the first time, to understand her troubled history and the self that has emerged from it.

In her clean, precise style, with every social nuance and motive exquisitely observed, Templeton delivers a tightly wound drama, unsparingly forthright in its description of how this form of love can bring incomparable rapture. Louisa's unsettling story has more than the ring of truth to it: it is told with urgency and relish, and its outcome, which leaves Louisa enlightened and changed forever, is profoundly satisfying.]]> 226 Edith Templeton 0375421947 Diana 5 in_love 3.45 1966 Gordon

]]> Jahre später 38349791 Mit »Das Mädchen« und »April« – beide auf der Shortlist zum Deutschen Buchpreis – schrieb Angelika Klüssendorf die Geschichte einer starken jungen Frau, die ihren Weg geht unter widrigen Umständen. »Jahre später« erzählt nun von der intensivsten, aber auch zerstörerischsten Beziehung des erwachsenen Mädchens April – ihrer Ehe.
Auf einer Lesung lernt April einen Mann kennen, der ihr zunächst durch seine dreist raumnehmende Art auffällt. Es ist nicht Sympathie, die sie zusammenführt. Es ist eine andere Form der Anziehung: Intensität. Eine schicksalhafte Begegnung. Denn Ludwig, der Chirurg aus Hamburg, wird für April zum Lebensmenschen werden – und April für ihn. Im Guten wie im Schlechten.
Angelika Klüssendorf erzählt, wie eine Liebe zwischen zwei radikalen Einzelgängern entsteht, die beide mit ihren eigenen Mitteln versuchen, ins Soziale zu finden und zu sich selbst. Es ist eine Geschichte von Öffnungsbereitschaft, glühender Gemeinsamkeit, aber auch den unaufhaltsamen Fliehkräften, die das Paar auseinandertreiben.Ohne jemals Partei zu ergreifen oder seine Figuren zu denunzieren, entwickelt »Jahre später« die Anatomie einer toxischen Partnerschaft. Als Leser wünscht man bis zuletzt, dass es gelingen möge, und zugleich, dass es endlich ein Ende hat mit den beiden. Messerscharfe Prosa, die keinen Moment lang unberührt lässt.]]> 160 Angelika Klüssendorf 3462047760 Diana 5 in_love 3.85 Jahre später

]]> Biographie de la faim 154332 Biographie de la faim, la surdouée belge poursuit le récit de sa vie amorcé dans Stupeurs et tremblements et Métaphysique des tubes. La faim, chez Amélie Nothomb, n’est pas que physique. Elle est surtout “ce manque effroyable de l’être entier, ce vide tenaillant (…) là où il n’y a rien, j’implore qu’il y ait quelque chose.” Ce quelque chose sera pour elle l’écriture. À 37 ans, elle a déjà publié une douzaine de romans et ses tiroirs regorgent de manuscrits.

Biographie de la faim raconte aussi les années d’apprentissage de l’auteure au Japon – où elle est née –, à New York, au Bangladesh, en Birmanie et au Laos, où elle a suivi ses parents diplomates. À trois ans, elle découvre “la surfaim (…) la possession du principe même de la jouissance”. De façon brillante et décalée, Amélie Nothomb explique comment lui est venu cet insatiable appétit pour absolument tout : l’eau, l’alcool, l’amour, la lecture, la beauté, l’absolu. Elle raconte aussi comment le deuil de l’enfance a brouillé pour toujours son rapport avec la nourriture.]]> 252 Amélie Nothomb 2226153942 Diana 2 3.85 2004 Biographie de la faim

While Pran Nevile paints a vivid sketch of Lahore’s Hira Mandi, Shahnaz Kureshy brings alive the legend of Anarkali and Khalid Hasan pays a tribute to the late ‘melody queen’ Nur Jehan. Mohsin Hamid’s essay on exile, Bina Shah’s account of the Karachi vs Lahore debate and Emma Duncan’s piece on elections are essential to the understanding of modern-day Lahore.

But the city is also about Lahore remembered. Ved Mehta and Krishen Khanna write about ‘going back’ as Khushwant Singh writes about his pre-Partition years in Lahore. Sara Suleri’s memories of her hometown, the landscapes of Bapsi Sidhwa’s fiction, Khaled Ahmed’s homage to Intezar Hussain and Urvashi Butalia’s Ranamama are tributes to memory as much as they are tributes to remarkable lives and unforgettable places.

Including fiction old and new—from Manto and Chughtai to Ashfaq Ahmed and Zulfikar Ghose; Saad Ashraf and Sorayya Khan to Mohsin Hamid and Rukhsana Ahmad, City of Sin and Splendour is a sumptuous collection that reflects the city it celebrates.]]> 392 Bapsi Sidhwa 014303166X Diana 0 to-read 3.94 2005 City of Sin and Splendour: Writings on Lahore
