Oreo-Perpustakaan.org
By:Fran Ross
Published on 2015-07-07 by New Directions Publishing
A pioneering, dazzling satire about a biracial black girl from Philadelphia searching for her Jewish father in New York City Oreo is raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia.
Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him.
What ensues is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb.
Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.

An utterly spellbinding novel of the 1920s in London and Paris, The Edge of the Fall is bestselling author Kate Williams’s follow-up to her beloved and universally praised novel The Storms of War.
In the aftermath of the Great War, the de Witt family is struggling to piece together the shattered fragments of their lives.
Stoneythorpe Hall has become an empty shell with no servants to ensure its upkeep.
Rudolf and his wife, Verena, still reeling from the loss of their second son, don’t know how to function in the post-war world.
Eldest son Arthur has returned, but a shroud of mystery surrounds his wartime business dealings in Europe.
Socialite-turned-socialist Emmeline is passionate about carving out a new niche for herself in life, one that comes with its own dangers.
And idealistic, adventurous Celia, the heart of the family and the de Witt’s youngest daughter, is still desperate to spread her wings and see more of the world.
To escape Stoneythorpe and the painful secrets that lie there, she moves to London and embraces life and love in the Roaring Twenties.
From the brilliant young author known as one of the “queens of contemporary fiction,” The Edge of the Fall is brimming with intrigue and emotion, balancing the glamour of the era with the gritty reality of life in a world changed forever by war.
It is a glorious feat of storytelling and a must-read for those who loved The Storms of War and fans of historical fiction everywhere.

“An extraordinary profile of immense courage and daring.”—Chanel Cleeton, New York Times bestselling author of Before We Left Cuba “If you only read one WWII book this year, make it this one."—Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Orphans In the depths of war, she would defy the odds to help liberate a nation…a gripping historical novel based on the remarkable true story of World War II heroine Virginia Hall, from the bestselling author of Hemingway’s Girl France, March 1944.
Virginia Hall wasn't like the other young society women back home in Baltimore—she never wanted the debutante ball or silk gloves.
Instead, she traded a safe life for adventure in Europe, and when her beloved second home is thrust into the dark days of war, she leaps in headfirst.
Once she's recruited as an Allied spy, subverting the Nazis becomes her calling.
But even the most cunning agent can be bested, and in wartime trusting the wrong person can prove fatal.
Virginia is haunted every day by the betrayal that ravaged her first operation, and will do everything in her power to avenge the brave people she lost.
While her future is anything but certain, this time more than ever Virginia knows that failure is not an option.
Especially when she discovers what—and whom—she's truly protecting.
Keeper and Kid-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Edward Hardy
Published by MacmillanPublished since 2008-01-08
"Keeper and Kid is a marvel.
I dare you.
Open this book and try to put it down." ---Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Room Eight years ago, James Keeper fell in love with his upstairs neighbor in Boston, a sassy pastry chef with gray eyes and a fierce attitude.
They got married, found a dog, and shopped for cilantro.
But conflicting schedules and a real estate deal gone bad took its toll on the twenty-somethings in love.
One divorce later, the hand-me-down chairs were separated, the potato masher custody settled, and Keeper moved to Providence to work with his best friend selling antiques at a quirky shop called Love and Death.
A new job, a new love, and a new life now in place, Keeper is in a comfortable situation.
Business is steady, Leah (the new love) is intriguing and passionate, and Keeper's friends always turn up for Sunday evening Card Night.
But one phone call from his former mother-in-law changes everything.
And so days later, Keeper comes away with a son he never knew he had, and life all of a sudden takes on a new meaning.
Leo, the precocious three-year-old who sports Keeper's square chin, is more than a handful---he eats only round foods, refuses to bathe, thinks he's a bear, and refers to Leah as "that man." For a guy who never thought he'd be a parent, Keeper is thrown headfirst into fatherhood---and has no idea what to do.
As Keeper and Leo adjust to the shock of each other and their suddenly very different lives, Keeper begins to let the people in his life in, in turns strange and heartwarming, funny and painful.
But some, like Leah, aren't so eager for change.
In this humorous and poignant novel, Edward Hardy explores the depths of modern love, parenthood, and compromise.
Keeper and Kid is the story of how a normal guy receives an unexpected gift and in turn must learn to ask more of others and himself.
A coming-of-age story for the guy who thought he had already grown up, Keeper and Kid is a sharp and witty account of what we do for love.
Advance Praise for Keeper and Kid "A fine, fetching novel with a good heart.
Keeper is nimble and affecting, a tribute to the author's endless comic inventiveness."---Stewart O'Nan, author of The Good Wife "At once immensely engaging and about the things that matter most: how we love, how we move on, how the past moves with us.
Lovely, wise, and surprising."---Elizabeth Graver, author of The Honey Thief "Ed Hardy's voice in Keeper and Kid grabs you and won't let you go until the very last page.
Full of local color, bittersweet characters, and a story we can all relate to---the day your past arrives on the doorstep of your present life."---Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Room
