Book excerpt: This is a Mediterranean love story. At the height of the Swinging Sixties Viola and Adam meet on an old Greek liner packed with like minded young Australians looking for adventure and experience in Europe. Rejecting the conventional path to Earls Court the couple find themselves, after a series of fateful choices, heading for the island of Crete. There they fall in with an international community of expatriates, an exotic mixture of castaways, eccentrics, sybarites and artists. In spite of their meagre funds the young lovers rent a dilapidated villa overlooking the ancient Venetian harbour of Chania. But Crete is a difficult location to fit into, particularly for an attractive young woman like Viola. In 1967 the Greek government is overthrown by a military coup and its colonels attempt to repress the Greeks’ natural joie de vivre in the name of “Christian-Hellenic” values. Chania becomes a powder keg of vice and passion. It contains a naval base on its outskirts that is the barracks for eight thousand Greek sailors doing national service. After Viola is abducted and almost raped by one of the ratings she and Adam are encouraged by an American painter called Sylvia Naughton to move to a village where she has lived for eleven years on the island of Lesbos. Her work is dedicated to capturing the disappearing traditional currents of village life in her paintings. The move proves fortuitous. In contrast to the macho south this island is sophisticated, filled with evidence of a glorious past and haunted by the presence of the sixth century BC poet Sappho. Could this be the exceptional life Viola is searching for? The expatriate clan on Lesbos is dominated by various powerful personalities like Isaac Romberg, a Canadian and self-declared poet laureate. His extrovert exuberance and domination of his wife Vita is challenged by an English classicist called Charity Lane who has experienced war first hand and whose scepticism as a result towards human ideals brings the two men into witty, wordy conflict with no hold bared. The island itself and its natural magnificence cast a seductive spell over these comic/ tragic adventurers, distorting their pasts and exposing the vulnerability of their secret desires.

Book excerpt: The acclaimed Nobel Prize winner challenges our most fiercely held beliefs as she weaves folklore and history, memory and myth into an unforgettable meditation on race, religion, gender, and a far-off past that is ever present—in prose that soars with the rhythms, grandeur, and tragic arc of an epic poem. “They shoot the white girl first. With the rest they can take their time.” So begins Toni Morrison’s Paradise, which opens with a horrifying scene of mass violence and chronicles its genesis in an all-black small town in rural Oklahoma. Founded by the descendants of freed slaves and survivors in exodus from a hostile world, the patriarchal community of Ruby is built on righteousness, rigidly enforced moral law, and fear. But seventeen miles away, another group of exiles has gathered in a promised land of their own. And it is upon these women in flight from death and despair that nine male citizens of Ruby will lay their pain, their terror, and their murderous rage. “A fascinating story, wonderfully detailed. . . . The town is the stage for a profound and provocative debate.” —Los Angeles Times

Book excerpt: "In the remote Bocas del Toro, Panama, William Dathan Holbert, aka 'Wild Bill,' is awaiting trial for the murder of five fellow American ex-patriots. Holbert's first victims were the Brown family, who lived on a remote island in the area's Darklands. There, Holbert turned their home into the 'Jolly Roger Social Club,' using drink- and drug-fueled parties to get to know other ex-pats ... But this is not just a book about what Holbert did and the complex financial and real estate motives behind the killings; it is about why Bocas del Toro turned out to be his perfect hunting ground, and why the community tolerated--even accepted--him for a time"

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • From the widely acclaimed, bestselling author of American War—a beautifully written, unrelentingly dramatic, and profoundly moving novel that looks at the global refugee crisis through the eyes of a child. "Told from the point of view of two children, on the ground and at sea, the story so astutely unpacks the us-versus-them dynamics of our divided world that it deserves to be an instant classic." —The New York Times Book Review More bodies have washed up on the shores of a small island. Another overfilled, ill-equipped, dilapidated ship has sunk under the weight of its too many passengers: Syrians, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Lebanese, Palestinians, all of them desperate to escape untenable lives back in their homelands. But miraculously, someone has survived the passage: nine-year-old Amir, a Syrian boy who is soon rescued by Vänna. Vänna is a teenage girl, who, despite being native to the island, experiences her own sense of homelessness in a place and among people she has come to disdain. And though Vänna and Amir are complete strangers, though they don’t speak a common language, Vänna is determined to do whatever it takes to save the boy. In alternating chapters, we learn about Amir’s life and how he came to be on the boat, and we follow him and the girl as they make their way toward safety. What Strange Paradise is the story of two children finding their way through a hostile world. But it is also a story of empathy and indifference, of hope and despair—and about the way each of those things can blind us to reality.
