For readers of J. Ryan Stradal and The Music of Bees (with a dash of FX's The Bear) comes a quirky and refreshing epistolary novel about a family of culture-shocked Brooklynites transplanted to Goodnight, Kansas and their fight for their unexpected lifeline: the legendary May Day Diner.

Welcome to Goodnight, Kansas.

Population: Many Kansans, three New Yorkers, and one chance to save the place they love most

With more wind chimes than residents, folks don't move to Goodnight when their lives are going well. That's why all eyes are on chef Sid Solvang and his family from the moment they turn down Emporia Road to the dilapidated Victorian they inherited.

While Sid searches for work and a way back to Brooklyn, his daughter searches for answers to the cryptic messages her grandfather left behind to save both her family and the town. But then Sid makes an impulsive purchase: the fledgling May Day Diner, an iconic eatery under the threat of the wrecking ball.

As the Solvangs search for their ticket out, they discover the truth of Goodnight: one of heart and tradition, of exploitation and greed, and neighbors you would do anything to save. And the Solvangs must navigate all of it--plus a wayward girl named Disco, a host of rambunctious alpacas, and the corrupt factory sustaining the town--in order to find their way back home...wherever that may be.

Told through diary entries, emails, school notes, and an anonymous town paper of the Lady Whistledown variety, A Town with Half the Lights On is a tender testament to the notions that home isn't just the place you live, family isn't just your relatives, and it's almost never easy to find the courage to do what's right.

Kostova's masterful new novel travels from American cities to the coast of Normandy, from the late 19th century to the late 20th, from young love to last love. The Swan Theives is a story of obsession, history's losses, and the power of art to preserve human hope.

The protea flower symbolizes strength, resilience, and the power to survive practically anything.

Norah, a divorced, fatherless daughter, is living her best life despite her complicated family history. She has everything figured out, except how to find lasting love. She doesn't trust easily because, in her experience, men leave. Then she meets Allen, and she lets her guard down. When he goes out of town indefinitely, she seeks help from a therapist who suggests a distraction to divert her attention from his absence.

She decides to create a digital scrapbook from her childhood photos. Norah's father disappeared when she was thirteen and she has been left to wonder: Why did he leave? Where did he go?

While sorting through pictures, she flashes back to a ghoulish childhood memory of being forced to visit her father at Dammasch, a mental health facility.

Norah channels her energy into tracing her father's steps. She turns to her family for answers, but they are reluctant to let go of long-held secrets. Norah refuses to give up, believing that finding the truth is the key to finding herself.

An epistolary, fictional account of one woman moving towards happiness in the black community of Colombia's Pacific coast.

After a long absence, Vel has come home to Chocó - to the Afro-Colombian community, to her family, to the sea. This is where the Pacific meets the Caribbean, where she's establishing herself anew. And the record she keeps is a series of letters to a friend, clarifying for herself where she stands, as she describes that homecoming to another. Vel works to build a literary centre, writing career, and festival with and for the people there. But her return to Chocó is also a claim-staking of her decision to pursue happiness now; an account of her immersion in the towns and rivers and forests she came from; and a redefinition of her relationship to sex and love in real time. And Tidal Waters is a vision of how creating something (for your community, for yourself) is a way of reading and writing your way into a known place and a new self.

En Olvidaré tu nombre somos testigos de la lucha interna de Ofelia y su búsqueda de respuesta. Nos identificamos con su dolor y frustración, pero también encontramos inspiración en su valentía y determinación para seguir adelante. Así, el desamor se convierte en un catalizador de cambio y crecimiento personal. Nos invita a abrazar la incertidumbre y a confiar en el proceso de amores que terminan.

Mónica Salmón autora de la celebrada Cuídame de ti nos ofrece en esta novela una visión esperanzadora y necesaria del desamor. Nos recuerda que este proceso puede ser una oportunidad para crecer como personas y encontrar un amor más auténtico y profundo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Someone you love has stopped loving you?

Do you feel as if that pain inside your chest will never subside?

Do you believe that you will never be the same person after experiencing an unrequited love? How can you walk away from that person's life without harming them?

In Mónica Salmón's latest novel, Ofelia experiences the challenge of heartbreak, facing that which many people fear: saying goodbye when you no longer have a place in the life of the person you love. The author shows us the last thread left before breaking the bond with the other person, or the hope of rekindling it. Through a series of emails, Ofelia expresses her grief and frustration over losing her love. She begins exploring her inner self, facing her fears and insecurities. She reaches a turning point.

In I Will Forget Your Name, we witness Ofelia's inner struggle and her quest for answers.

We are invited to embrace uncertainty and trust the process of those loves that end.

In this novel, Mónica Salmón, celebrated author of Safe Me from You, brings a necessary and encouraging insight into disaffection. She reminds us that this process can be an opportunity to grow as people and find a more authentic, deeper love.

Memoirs of Emma Courtney (1796) is a novel by English writer and feminist Mary Hays. Inspired by events from her own life, as well as by her acquaintance with radical political philosophers William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft, Hays's novel received mixed reviews and was controversial for its representation of female sexuality, adultery, infanticide, and suicide. Modern critics and readers, however, have recognized the novel as a groundbreaking work of feminist fiction. In a series of letters to her adopted son Augustus Harley, Emma Courtney reveals the tragic details of her life. Young and in love with Augustus's father, Courtney dreamed of marrying him and starting a family. Despite their true connection, Harley is unable to marry-his continued income is only guaranteed, he claims, if he remains a bachelor. Meanwhile, a man named Mr. Montague promises Courtney a life of safety and financial stability if she will agree to marry him, which, after learning that Harley has secretly been married all along, she does. Heartbroken, Courtney settles for a life with her new husband, and raising her daughter becomes her only cause for passion. When she realizes the extent of Mr. Montague's dishonesty, however, she struggles to reconcile her former sense of individuality with the life she has been forced to live. When Harley suddenly reappears, however, feelings from the past return that threaten to flood Courtney's heart and overturn what stability she thought had been her own. Memoirs of Emma Courtney is an epistolary novel exploring themes of desire, inequality, and the love that transcends the values and bonds of society. This edition of Mary Hays's Memoirs of Emma Courtney is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Friday Night Dinner and Timewaster Letters creator Robert Popper's new book of brilliantly funny letters, from Britain's oldest letter writer.

'I laughed till I cried' DAISY MAY COOPER'
'Robert Popper is not only certifiably one of the Funniest People in the World(TM), but also the loveliest 104-year-old woman you could ever hope to meet. Hilarious' 'WEIRD AL' YANKOVIC
'I howled with laughter' MATT LUCAS

At 104 years of age, Mrs Elsie Drake of Granville Gardens, London, is the sixth oldest woman in Britain. But fed up with sitting in her armchair all day, Elsie is ready for new adventures. And so, armed with a computer she can barely operate, she fires off dozens of letters to everyone from the Prime Minister to Greggs Bakeries, to see if they can help.

Whether offering her services as the new Arsenal football mascot dressed as a giant hare, or simply sending Sainsbury's a load of meat, no one can escape the clutches of Elsie Drake.

Gloriously funny and ridiculously silly, The Elsie Drake Letters is also a testament to the wonderful kindness and good humour of the British public. Just wait till you read the replies...

A sus treinta y tres años, la vida de Eva se detiene. Lo único que puede salvarla es un trasplante de corazón, pero dispone de muy pocos días para conseguirlo. Poco tiempo para su cuerpo, que se debilita, mucho tiempo para su mente, que se fortalece.

Aislada y en completa soledad, Eva solo se tiene a sí misma, una libreta y un lápiz. Entonces comienza a escribir cartas a quienes culpa de su malestar: sus ex.

Y mientras escribe, se da cuenta de que en la quietud mental encuentra las respuestas a las preguntas que la han acechado toda su vida; que cada palabra tiene consecuencias, y cada silencio también; que la cura para el mal de amores está en la soledad, y que no es lo mismo vivir que sentirse viva.

Esta es una historia sobre el perdón y el amor más poderoso de todos, el propio. Un recordatorio de que el éxito radica en creer en uno mismo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

What to do when there's nothing you can do about it?

The debut novel by emotional coach Leticia Arévalo: A story about forgiveness and self-love.

At thirty-three, Eva's life comes to a halt. The only thing that can save her is a heart transplant--but she only has a few days to get one. Too little time for her failing body, yet too much time for her strengthening mind.

Isolated and completely alone, Eva has only herself, a notebook, and a pencil. So she begins writing letters to those she blames for all her suffering--her exes.

And as she writes, she realizes that in that stillness, she finds the answers to the questions that have haunted her all her life. That every word has consequences, and so does every silence. That the cure for heartbreak lies in solitude. And that living is not the same as feeling alive.

This is a story about forgiveness and the most powerful love of all--self-love. A reminder that true success lies in believing in yourself.

Fanny Burney's renowned epistolary novel is a satirical tale detailing a young woman's journey through eighteenth-century London's fashionable society. Evelina is an early example of romanticism, sensibility, and the novel of manners.

Evelina encounters a host of memorable characters and is whisked away by romance, yet until her aristocratic father acknowledges her as his legitimate daughter, she will never be able to marry the man she truly loves. This sharp satire of high-society London captures the complexities of Georgian society, offering a vivid and entertaining portrait of eighteenth-century England life.

The lighthouse keepers of The Reunified Territories have a long and storied history, staving off maritime disaster and recording what occurs at the very edges of the world. It is only within the archival record, however, that we can begin to unravel what happened one eventful season at the Spur.

Lighthouse Logbook, No. 28 contains 30 pages of archival logbooks from the 1783 (Reunified Era) sailing season, including [transcriber's note: description obscured by salt water, page burned].

As he settles into the abandoned gothic ruins, strange phenomena cause him to question his sanity...and if he is truly alone.
