Lostdreams
Un jeune garçon voit son existence bouleversée par un étrange pouvoir qu'il doit apprendre à maîtriser... Mattéo Sullivan se considère comme un jeune garçon normal, vivant une existence des plus tranquilles. Bien installé avec sa famille dans la capitale, et les vacances d’été se profilant à l’horizon, Mattéo voit soudain tous ses plans bouleversés à cause d’une terrible nouvelle : ses parents annoncent leur prochain déménagement, qui plus-est dans un patelin paumé situé tout au sud du pays.

Italy Revisited
Drawing out her mother's childhood memories of life in southern Italy at the dawn of the twentieth century, Mary Melfi takes an unconventional approach to autobiographical writing. Italy Revisited serves as a double memoir, told in dialogue between a mother and a daughter. The conversation takes the reader to a medieval town high up in the mountains where time is told by the shadow the sun casts, where wheat and olive oil are the currency of choice (barter is in use), and where marriage is as much about property as it is about love. As they re-create that vanished world, the pair finds greater understanding of the tumultuous relationships that sometimes exist between immigrant mothers and their children.
Betsey Brown
Praised as "exuberantly engaging" by the Los Angeles Times and a "beautiful, beautiful piece of writing" by the Houston Post, acclaimed artist Ntozake Shange brings to life the story of a young girl's awakening amidst her country's seismic growing pains in Betsey Brown. Set in St. Louis in 1957, the year of the Little Rock Nine, Shange's story reveals the prismatic effect of racism on an American child and her family. Seamlessly woven into this masterful portrait of an extended family is the story of Betsey's adolescence, the rush of first romance, and the sobering responsibilities of approaching adulthood.
