It Came to Me on a Whim - The Story of Ingeborg Andersson, Child Murderess
"Suddenly it struck him: the windows had not fogged up as they usually did in the winter when his wife hung up the laundry inside. There was a sour smell and the house was unusually quiet. "Where are the children?" he asked, receiving no answer. On opening the door to the bedroom, Artur saw the large, round copper washtub sitting just inside. It was half full of water, and the rest had spilled out onto the floor. The water left in the tub contained traces of vomit." It is a cold Easter in the spring of 1929. Artur leaves his wife and three children alone for a few hours to go fetch firewood in the forest. When he returns, his world has collapsed. The story about Ingeborg Andersson and what h...
Transparent Governance in an Age of Abundance
During the last decade, the Latin American and Caribbean region has experienced unprecedented natural resources abundance. This book highlights how transparency can help realize the benefits and reduce negative externalities associated with the extractive industries in the region. A central message is that high-quality and well-managed information is critical to ensure the transparent and effective governance of the sector. The insights from experiences in the region can help policymakers design and implement effective regulatory reforms and adopt international standards that contribute to this goal. This is particularly important at a time when the recent boom experienced by extractives in the region may be coming to an end.
Tyttö lappu kaulassa – Suomalaisen sotalapsen tarina
Miltä tuntuu jättää kaikki taakseen ja joutua sotalapseksi? 12-vuotias Hilja ja hänen pikkuveljensä Antti joutuvat jättämään kaiken taakseen, myös perheensä. He ovat sotalapsia, kaksi lasta kymmenistä tuhansista, jotka lähetetään Ruotsiin pakoon sotaa. Taakse jäävät äiti, isä ja sisarukset, äidinkieli. Pitkän matkan ja karanteenin jälkeen Hilja ja Antti saapuvat pieneen Vesenen kylään Länsi-Göötänmaalla. Heidät erotetaan eri perheisiin, vaikka HIlja on luvannut pitää huolta pikkuveljestään. Vähitellen Hilja kotiutuu Maria-tädin ja hiljaisen Arturin luokse. Sitä hän ei kuitenkaan tiedä, että perheellä on synkkä menneisyys. Tyttö lappu kaulassa on elämäkerrallinen romaani, joka perustuu kirjailija Maria Bouronclen sukulaisten kokemuksiin. Itsenäisenä luettavan teoksen tarina on jatkoa kirjalle “Se vain tapahtui – Lapsensurmaaja Ingeborg Anderssonin tarina.”
The Gringa
A gripping and subversive novel about the slippery nature of truth and the tragic consequences of American idealism … Leonora Gelb came to Peru to make a difference. A passionate and idealistic Stanford grad, she left a life of privilege to fight poverty and oppression, but her beliefs are tested when she falls in with violent revolutionaries.

Ten years later, Andres—a failed novelist turned expat—is asked to write a magazine profile of “La Leo.” As hi...
