She has it all ... except for him.

As the youngest member of a wealthy family, Wren Kensington has had plenty of practice playing the part of the superficial socialite.

A trip to the Hamptons was supposed to be the start of a typical summer, but nothing is ordinary about the seismic moment she meets Sawyer Bennett. Not the cliffside setting, not his aggravating attitude, and especially not her sudden inability to focus on anything but him.

Sawyer avoids the Hamptons's elite as much as his job at the local marina allows. Then suddenly, he can't go a single day without some reminder of Wren. She's everywhere: his work, his town, his thoughts. A blonde distraction he doesn't want or need, especially as he copes with the aftermath of twin tragedies that tore his family apart and scrambled his future.

They agree: it's a summer fling. Brief... until it stretches seasons. Contained... until it cross continents. Superficial... until they're guarding each other's secrets.

Neither believe it will work between them. But there's only so long they can fight the pull of the tide, and love might be the one thing that can save them from drowning.

Winner of the inaugural Mo Habib Translation Prize in Persian Literature, Reza Ghassemi's darkly comic and subtly provocative novel of life among the exiled and expatriated.

Iranian exile Yadollah is barely scraping by in 1990s Paris. He lives in a run-down attic apartment with his friend Seyyed, and his girlfriend Ra'na. It's an all too common situation-their apartment building houses a cast of eccentric neighbors, most of them fellow down-on-their-luck exiles from all over the world. When a mysterious new neighbor arrives on the scene, a man who ominously goes by the name of Prophet, Yadollah and his friends' world is turned upside down.

Yadollah suddenly finds himself confronted by the Islamic angels of death, and realizes that he must untangle the mystery of his own murder, which occurred at some unknown point after Prophet's arrival. Suspenseful, yet darkly humorous, Woodwind Harmony In The Nighttime explores the trauma of displacement, and challenges readers to piece together the story of a life shattered by exile.

如果一切都按照上帝的心意而行，今天的教会会是什么样子？这是陈恩藩牧师迄今为止最有力量的一本书，他深深扎根于圣经真理，回顾自己牧会历程中的失败经历，展望教会的愿景，透过很多真实的故事，让人看到上帝如何使用最普通的人来改变这个世界。正如陈牧师所说：我们已经离上帝最初设立教会的心意太远了。我们当前所经历的，与圣经所描绘的教会生活有着天壤之别。多年来，教会领袖们将教会超凡的奥秘束之高阁，把会众训练成一群对次要事物上瘾的人。是时候悔改了。当耶稣再来的时候，我们是忙着照顾他的新妇还是我们自己的生活？本书提醒我们，教会原来是如此的充满能力和荣耀，并呼召我们再一次回到上帝最初设立教会的心意当中。

Welcome to the Magical Potions School!

In 1949, a newly established People's Republic of China, led by the Chinese Communist Party and Mao Zedong, created a system aimed at controlling every facet of society. Rong Zhang was educated in their schools, fed their propaganda but eventually took flight and sought her own path forward.
In her own words, Rong tells her story. As the daughter of physicians, she saw her family lauded with praise in the beginning, then bombarded with threats, looting, and traumatic public denouncements for their economic and social standing. Rong herself, as well as her siblings and millions of Chinese youths, were forced into re-education, witnessing and experiencing horrific events and enduring unimaginable hardship.
Rong's story is a reminder of China's past, the atrocities committed, and a testament to those who fought for the right to education, freedom, life, and preserving art in all its forms.

She attended Shanghai First Medical School (Fudan University School of Medicine), earned her PhD at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and finished post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School.

In this Romeo and Juliet-inspired retelling set during the civil rights era, a Mexican American girl is driven to join a movement for justice after her white classmate and best friend from the barrio are tragically murdered.

Rosa Capistrano has been attending posh North Phoenix High School to boost her chances of a college education and a career in journalism, thanks to the groundbreaking Brown v. Board of Education verdict for desegregation. But though she's legally allowed to be there, it's still unsafe for Mexican Americans. That's why she's secretly passing as Rosie, a white girl. All she has to do to secure her future is make sure her Mexican home life and her white school experience never intersect.

However, Rosa's two worlds collide when her best friend, Ramon, and classmate Julianne meet and find themselves entangled in a star-crossed romance. Rosa is terrified about what their relationship could mean for her and them . . . and her worst fears are soon realized in an unspeakable tragedy. Rosa is thrown into the center of a town-wide scandal and her true identity is put in the spotlight. With the help of Marco, Ramon's brooding and volatile brother whose passion ignites hers, Rosa must choose what is more important to her--protecting her fragile future or risking everything to help her friends find justice.

Rosa by Any Other Name is a harrowingly beautiful coming-of-age tale that shines a light on an important and often overlooked facet of US history. An extensive author's note with research details and a further reading list are included.

The award-winning, bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility returns with a breathtaking novel of doubles, shadow worlds, and fractured timelines as a man disappears from a glittering Los Angeles party, and a woman--a gunrunner, an art collector, an operative of the State--searches for answers.

Los Angeles, 2031: The first spring after the collapse of the United States, peacekeeping troops withdraw from the city, the Jacaranda trees blossom, and the curfew is finally lifted. Ari Waker and her roommate pass the gauntlet of bomb-sniffing dogs, the shanty towns, and the Red Cross tents as they walk across Silverlake to a party. The mood is ecstatic inside the apartment, people drink and dance, a woman wears a silver dress, pleated like tinfoil. And then: A shift. A bewildered twin, an uncanny doppelganger stumbles through the crowd and out into the night, and Kareem, the party's host, vanishes into thin air.

As Ari Waker unravels the mystery of this inexplicable night, Emily St. John Mandel unfurls a story that takes us from a future America splintered by civil war to the seaside cliffs of Greece where weapons dealers hide in an elegant resort, and from the domed city of Paris to a colony on the moon. An unforgettable literary feat, Exit Party is a novel about the price of safety, the perils of the surveillance state, a requiem for a world not unlike our own, and a breathtaking story of resilience in the face of cataclysmic change.

The tenuous alliance between a guardian, a keeper, and a hunter calms in ruin's wake. Yet, like a candle against a gale, hope flickers with each passing moment. In these cursed lands, hope is the sliver of dawn which beats back the night. Be it for duty, family, or survival-- our heros will march into the winds of a world lost to ash and despair. But the waning light of their hope cannot illuminate every dark corner of the world. And somewhere in the black stirs a reckoning which comes to snuff it out...

Whether failing to restrain herself from trying to find greater meaning in roadkill, or to convince her dad that psychedelic mushrooms will not save his marriage, or to believably perform enthusiasm for her teammates, Elizabeth Zaleski is trying hard and failing spectacularly, and thankfully, she takes us along for the ride.

Funny, intimate, and candid, The Trouble with Loving Poets and Other Essays on Failure debuts an exciting new voice. From growing up in a quirky family in rural northeast Ohio and attending a Mennonite high school as a lapsed Catholic to struggling to get over a particularly well-endowed lover and suffering intestinal calamity while searching for closure, Zaleski's stories are at once captivating in their singularity and recognizable in their truthfulness. Fans of Tim Kreider and Sloane Crosley will appreciate Zaleski's levity and wit as she takes aim at such time-honored institutions as pet ownership and gives clear-eyed dispatches from the no man's land that is an HPV diagnosis.

As Zaleski writes, "If you'll bear with me, we're going to get a bit technical. And then, I promise, it will all start to matter."

Inviting you to explore and contemplate the great art of the world

"Somewhere, sometime in the course of casual encounters with art, an icon may emerge and claim its person: an image that startles and calls to you, that separates from its setting to inhabit your mind and heart." With these words Roger Lipsey introduces the theme, and sparkling challenge, of this book.

With more than sixty full-page, full-color illustrations of the world's great art, Eyes to See is a feast for eye and mind--and heart. Through his selection of works and his enlightening, accessible commentaries, Lipsey renews for our time André Malraux's "museum without walls." What is the spiritual and how is it present in art? Allow this book to show you. It explores whole worlds of art, from ancient Egypt and the Mediterranean to medieval Europe and the Renaissance, India, the Far East, and the world of Islam. Lipsey's approach encourages new understandings--felt, contemplative, inquiring--and offers readers a lasting orientation for their own future explorations.

"Icons emerge from the fog of things and make themselves known. You have no initial idea that you will cherish one work of art or another--until the moment of recognition, when light flashes into some little known or vital corner of self. The encounter engages not just the mind but also feeling and body in a moment of knowing, of surprise and delight, of measuring both what one is today and one's sense of direction. The response is quite total, a memorable event. Adoption occurs: the image becomes part of oneself."

In this Indian modern classic, roofs are a special place; they are meant for wild things, for romance and for play. They are realms of freedom--freedom from the male gaze, sexual freedom, and freedom from society. Chachcho and Lalna use their roofs to build a friendship that transcends time and memory. Suddenly one day, Lalna has to leave, to return only after Chachcho's passing. Amidst rumors and gossip in the neighborhood, Chachcho's nephew tries to piece together his memories of the two women, one of whom is his mother. The truth he is searching for could destroy him forever, but to not find out is no longer an option.

Now finally published outside of India, this consummate novel of twists and turns by the International Booker Prize-winning author Geetanjali Shree, The Roof Beneath Their Feet is a contemporary novel that promises to be read for generations to come.

One should never underestimate the power of du'a as it can change your destiny. The Prophet Muhammad used to make certain du'as in certain situations, but what if one feels that they are not worthy of calling upon Allah or just simply don't know how.

When you look through the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad, you don't just find the words that match your situation, you also find a beautiful approach to your Lord as a whole. When you understand your Creator better and learn how to call upon Him like the prophet Muhammad did, you will also understand the world around you better and become more focussed. This short book includes 26 wonderful du'as (supplications) in Arabic with English translation and related commentary, as taught to us by our beloved Prophet Muhammad.

In this debut story collection, Ysabelle Cheung weaves an eerie fabulism with tales that cross continents, technology, and time.

Set in Hong Kong and America--between the present day and an uncannily altered future--this story collection warps the familiar rules of our world to ask: what does it mean to be Asian and a woman--living under the specter of state and technological surveillance--or trying to break free from it?

In the title story, a young woman of color realizes she can make her fortune by surgically selling her facial features to whiter, wealthier clients. In "Please, Get Out and Dance," a group of rebels escapes a city that is literally disappearing around them--building by building, person by person--to migrate to a new home beneath the ocean, defying their government's mandate. "Herbs" follows an elderly widow who, when the clones of her dead husband start to appear uninvited in her home, must grapple with her memories.

In each of these stories, Cheung tilts the world just slightly off its axis to bring together a haunting meditation on what it means to survive within our increasingly digitized and mechanized world.
