The Gift of Everything

Internationally acclaimed poet Lang Leav's debut adult novel combines her poetical lyricism and emotional acumen to create an enthralling coming of age narrative set against the backdrop of anti-Asian sentiment sweeping Australia in the late 90's. A stirring portrayal of guilt, loss, and memory, Others Were Emeralds explores the inherent danger of allowing our misconceptions to shape our reality. What comes first, the photograph or the memory? The daughter of Cambodian refugees, Ai grew up in the small Australian town of Whitlam populated by Asian immigrants who once fled war-torn countries to rebuild their shattered lives. It is now the late 90's and despite their parent's harrowing past, Ai and her tightknit group of school friends: charismatic Brigitte, sweet, endearing Bowie, shy, inscrutable Tin, and politically minded Sying, lead seemingly ordinary lives, far removed from the unimaginable horrors suffered by their parents. But that carefree innocence is shattered in their last year of school when Ai and her friends encounter a pair of racist men whose cruel acts of intimidation spiral into senseless violence. Grappling with the magnitude of her grief at such a young age, Ai leaves Whitlam for college before her trauma has a chance to fully resolve. In her second year of college Ai suffers a mental health crisis, driving her back home to Whitlam, a place she swore never to return. There, she reconnects with those she left behind and together they are compelled to look back on the tragedy that shaped their adolescence and examine the role they may have unwittingly played.

Sad Girls (Dusta & Kepedihan)

Poético e perturbador, Garotas tristes é um intrigante romance em que amor, segredos e tragédias colidem. Seu primeiro amor não é a primeira pessoa a quem você dá o coração: é a primeira que o quebra. O luto toma conta da cidade quando Ana tira a própria vida, mas é Audrey, uma colega de classe pouco próxima da garota, que o sente mais profundamente: uma mentira inventada por ela pode estar por trás do suicídio. Lucy e Candela, suas melhores amigas, ajudam-na a manter a história em segredo, sem saber que a trama toda foi inventada por ela. Após o ocorrido, a vida das garotas entra numa espiral decadente. Entre os ataques de pânico constantes de Audrey, a nova rotina obscura de Candela e a tentativa de mediação de Lucy, uma amizade até então estruturada começa a ruir. Um novo romance parece ser exatamente o que Audrey precisa, mas o misterioso Rad não pode ser o par ideal. Ou pode? Enquanto tenta equilibrar um romance inadequado, o começo de uma carreira e o próprio egoísmo, Audrey tem que lidar com as consequências de seus atos: a ansiedade constante e a forma como sua mentira afetou todos ao seu redor. “Lang Leav ataca nada menos que o amor, em todos os seus aspectos complexos, confusos e esplêndidos.” Elle Magazine “Incrivelmente poderoso, Garotas tristes é outro livro que o fará pegar a caixinha de lenços.” BUSTLE “Leav faz parte de uma nova geração de autores best-sellers, elevados a celebridade e com propostas de livros cobiçadas.” The Guardian

Soon It Will Be Sunday

A young woman’s life spirals out of her control after her childhood best friend publishes a memoir that discusses the tragic events of their childhood, in this beautiful, powerful novel from the internationally bestselling author of Others Were Emeralds. Mei’s life isn’t what she thought it would be. She's still entangled in a love triangle with Jacques and Kath that began when they were teens; her parents are drowning in debt; and she’s stuck pulling off identity fraud jobs for her cruel auntie and her auntie’s nauseating son, who won’t leave Mei alone. But Mei’s world begins to truly unravel when she hears her childhood best friend Soey’s voice for the first time in years, being interviewed on the radio about her new memoir, chronicling the childhood attack that left Soey with brain damage and killed her younger sister. When Mei reconnects with Soey, the leader of their childhood friend group known as the Daisy Chain, their encounter kicks off a series of events that culminate in another shocking death, putting Mei squarely in the public eye. As past and present collide, Mei starts spiraling after Soey implores her to find out who killed Daiyu—a search that leads Mei to uncover what happened that dark day in the woods behind their school, all those years ago. Revered for her lyrical imagery, emotional acumen, and thoughtful voice, Lang Leav uses her gifts to brilliant effect, exploring unsolved mysteries, cycles of trauma and abuse, and the answers to a timeless question: how do you honor someone's memory without losing sight of yourself?
