Red Riding Hood

“Obsessed!” —Chloë Sevigny “I am literally obsessed.” —Busy Philipps A hypnotic, sexy, and incisive debut adult novel following one woman’s affair with her daughter’s best friend that tests the limits of love and ambition from #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Riding Hood. It’s opening night, but Alice’s performance in the local Bay Area production of The Winter’s Tale is far from glamorous. She doesn’t have dreams of stardom, but the basement theater in a wildfire-choked town isn’t exactly what she envisioned for her career back home in Los Angeles. To make matters worse, her best friend Sadie is not even coming. Pragmatic, serious Sadie and flighty, creative Alice have been best friends since high school—really one another’s only friends—but now that they are through with college (which they attended together) and living on opposite ends of California, Alice would at least expect her friend’s support. Sadie, determined not to cancel her plans with her boyfriend, ends up enlisting the help of her mother, Celine. A professor of women’s and gender studies at UC Berkeley, Celine’s landmark treatise on sex and identity made her notorious, but she’s struggling to write her new book in a post-second-wave feminist world. So, when Sadie begs her to attend Alice’s play, she relents, if only to escape writer’s block. But in a turn of perplexing events, Celine becomes entranced by Alice’s performance and realizes that her daughter’s once lanky, slightly annoying best friend is now an irresistible young woman. Set over the course of decades—from Alice and Sadie’s early friendship days and Celine’s decision to leave her husband to the radical movements of 1990s Berkeley and navigating contemporary Hollywood—Alice and Celine’s affair will test the limits of their love for Sadie and their own beliefs of power, agency, and feminism. Witty and relatable, sexy and surprising, Sarah Blakley-Cartwright’s debut adult novel is a mesmerizing portrait of the inner lives of three very different women.

O corpo de uma garota é descoberto em um campo de trigo. Em sua carne mutilada, marcas de garras. Quando Valerie descobre que sua irmã foi assassinada pela lendária criatura, ela acaba mergulhando de forma irreversível em um grande mistério que vem amaldiçoando sua aldeia por gerações. A revelação vem com Father Solomon - o Lobo que está entre eles - o que torna qualquer pessoa do vilarejo suspeita. Estaria Peter, sua paixão secreta desde a infância, envolvido nos ataques? Ou seria Henry, seu noivo, o Lobisomem que assola as redondezas? Enquanto todos estão à caça da besta, Valerie recorre à Avó em busca de ajuda, que dá à neta uma capa vermelha feita à mão e a orienta através da rede de mentiras, intrigas e decepções que vem controlando o vilarejo por muito tempo.

Red riding hood

“Obsessed!” —Chloë Sevigny “I am literally obsessed.” —Busy Philipps Hailed as “richly intimate” and “wickedly delightful” (The New York Times Book Review), this steamy and incisive debut adult novel follows one woman’s affair with her daughter’s best friend, testing the limits of love and ambition. It’s the opening night, but Alice’s performance in the local Bay Area production of The Winter’s Tale is far from glamourous. She doesn’t have dreams of stardom, but the basement theater in a wildfire-choked town isn’t exactly what she envisioned for her career back home in Los Angeles. To make matters worse, her best friend Sadie is not even coming. Pragmatic, serious Sadie and flighty, creative Alice have been best friends since high school—really one another’s only friend—but now that they are through with college (which they attended together) and living on opposite ends of California, Alice would at least expect her friend’s support. Sadie, determined not to cancel her plans with her boyfriend, ends up enlisting the help of her mother, Celine. A professor of women’s and gender studies at UC Berkeley, Celine’s landmark treatise on sex and identity made her notorious, but she’s struggling to write her new book in a post-second-wave feminist world. So, when Sadie begs her to attend Alice’s play, she relents, if only to escape writer’s block. But in a turn of perplexing events, Celine becomes entranced by Alice’s performance and realizes that her daughter’s once lanky, slightly annoying best friend is now an irresistible young woman. Set over the course of decades—from Alice and Sadie’s early friendship days and Celine’s decision to leave her husband to the radical movements of the 1990s Berkeley and navigating contemporary Hollywood—Alice and Celine’s love affair will test the limits of their love for Sadie and their own beliefs of power, agency, and feminism. Witty and relatable, sexy and surprising, Sarah Blakely-Cartwright’s adult debut is a “heartfelt, smart, and keenly observed take on friendship” (Town & Country) and a mesmerizing portrait of the inner lives of three very different women.

Le village de Daggerhorn semble sommeiller au creux de la vallée. Depuis des générations, le Loup qui menace sa tranquillité est tenu à l'écart grâce à un sacrifice mensuel. Mais aujourd'hui, plus personne n'est à l'abri. Et la peur rôde... A la mort de sa soeur, Valérie est inconsolable. Henry, le séduisant fils du forgeron, tente de gagner ses faveurs, mais le coeur indompté de la belle bat pour un autre garçon : Peter, le bûcheron exclu du groupe, qui lui offre des escapades palpitantes en dehors du cocon familial. Un beau jour, un chasseur de loups de passage dans la région fait une terrible révélation qui provoque la stupeur des villageois : la Bête qui les terrorise vit parmi eux. Chacun devient suspect. Bientôt, on comprend que seule Valérie peut entendre la voix du Loup. Et celui-ci exige qu'elle le rejoigne avant que le sang ne coule...

¿quién tiene miedo?

La chica de la capa roja

La campana de la aldea dobla una, dos, tres veces: alguien ha sido asesinado. Repica una cuarta vez... El asesino es el Lobo. En una época en que las aldeas son tan pequeñas que todo el mundo se conoce, una muchacha intenta abrirse camino en la vida. Y Valerie no es una «buena chica». Cuando el hombre lobo la elige, ella debe tomar una decisión imposible. Con un matrimonio concertado en su nombre y un amor sincero que la invita a la huida, Valerie no tiene a quién recurrir. Su padre está borracho en el pueblo, su madre desea controlarla, y las demás chicas... se apresuran a acusarla de brujería. ¿Quién la salvará? ¿O puede salvarse ella sola? En esta nueva, peligrosa y absorbente versión del cuento clásico, quizá resulte complicado dar con un final feliz.
