Book Description
A “luminous” story of love and sorrow spanning from London to Romania, from a prize-winning novelist (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Kitty Crozier first laid eyes on Virgil Florescu, a dissident poet who swam across the Danube to escape Ceausescu’s Romania, in the hospital. She woke up after surgery to find a stranger sitting beside her bed gazing at her. He just smiled, then stood and left the room. She next sees him in London’s Green Park picking up litter from the grass with a long spike. So begins the most important, most demanding, most exhilarating relationship of Kitty’s life. As their love for each other deepens, their previous lives, and very different families, reveal themselves to be oddly connected, in this novel from a recipient of literary honors including a Somerset Maugham Award, an E. M. Forster Award, and a George Orwell Prize, as well as two Man Booker Prize nominations. “At once a wistful and tender love story and a harrowing account of how people from two utterly different cultures and ways of looking at the world can find, then lose, each other . . . Virgil is a superb creation.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Book Description
You're never too old to be murdered . . . An unexpected floral delivery sparks panic when Kat Harper spies lilies within the mix. She's well aware that lilies kill cats, but she never dreams her decision to donate the lethal bouquet to a retirement home will thrust her into another murder investigation. That's exactly what happens though when one of the elderly residents is found dead shortly after Kat's arrival—and Eugenia Pierce's passing isn't from natural causes. With the surviving residents acting as though they're part of an unscripted Murder, She Wrote episode, Kat has her hands full trying to figure out "whodunit." Luckily, the amateur sleuth's tortoiseshell cat Matty proves to be a big hit in her undercover role as therapy animal. While the seniors are busy fawning over their four-legged visitor, they're also filling Kat in on all of the latest gossip, including Eugenia's romantic interest in the home's most eligible bachelor. But despite how the feisty widows may have been eager to eliminate their prime competition for the affections of the octogenarian "house hottie," they're not the only ones with motive. As it turns out, Eugenia exchanged some harsh words with the staff shortly before her death. And Kat can't discount Eugenia's daughter Ingrid either, not when the unemployed technology guru is due to inherit all of her mother's assets. The abundance of suspects won't deter Kat though. She's determined to figure out who, exactly, is guilty. And when she does, she'd better hope she doesn't become the next victim. All of the Cozy Cat Caper Mystery books can be enjoyed as standalones but will be better appreciated as part of the series. The books are light, fun cozy mysteries featuring an animal-loving female amateur sleuth, lovable and not-so-lovable quirky characters, and a page-turning mystery that needs solving. None of the books include cliffhangers, bad language, or graphic scenes. keywords: cat cozy mysteries, cozy murder mystery series, amateur female sleuths, whodunit mysteries set in small-town USA, mystery ebooks for animal lovers, animal rescue ebooks, contemporary cozy mystery ebooks, cozy crime mystery books, humorous crime whodunit, murder mystery books starring women sleuths, long-running series that can be read as stand-alones, kitty mysteries, humorous escapist fiction, homicide police investigation, ebooks featuring amateur detectives, criminal investigations with feline sidekicks, cat cozy mystery series set in a small town, animal stories, humor and hijinks, small town fiction starring gumshoe women sleuths, murder mystery whodunits, women gumshoe detectives who solve crimes, pet cozy mysteries, quick uplifting mystery reads, mysteries with cats, small town novice women sleuths with rescue cats, kitty cozies, fun kitty cozies, cozy mystery that needs solving, charming cat mystery and thriller books, murder mystery ebooks, clean mystery series, cozy cat caper mysteries, felines in fiction, small-town detective books with happy endings, series that can be read as stand-alones, amateur women sleuth detective, cozy murder mystery that needs solving, cat caper crime mystery series, animal cozy mystery fiction featuring cats, cop characters in small towns, small town amateur investigators and police detectives, whimsical amateur investigator short reads, novice detective series with standalone storylines, amateur detective series, contemporary murder mystery ebook, cat cosy mysteries set in the United States, American cosy murder mystery series, USA kitty cosies, mystery whodunits, criminal mystery ebooks, cozy murder mysteries featuring cats, cozy criminal mysteries, cat and animal cozies, animal mysteries with small town settings, fictional felony police investigations, gumshoe sleuth ebook, humorous ebooks for adult women, kit lit, mysterious criminal suspects, suspicious death killing, lighthearted animal cozies, mystery books for adult women, likable women detectives, small-town friendships, clean beach reads, ebook downloads, female sleuth gumshoe lead, funny cat books, kitty cozy criminal mysteries, quirky characters with secrets, small-town relationships, criminal foul play, whimsical women sleuths, short fun clean ebooks, mysteries to solve, law enforcement mysteries, women novice detective, headstrong cat characters, humorous crime capers, foster care heroine, feel-good law enforcement fiction, Central Washington State settings, fun wholesome whodunnit, feisty senior sleuths, retirement home mysteries, granny cat lady, romantic mystery, police and law enforcement romance, second chance homecoming anniversary

Book Description
(Re)Writing War in Contemporary Literature and Culture: Beyond Post-Memory is an exploration of war narratives through the lens of postmemory, offering a critical re-evaluation of how contemporary literature and cultural products reshape our understanding of past conflicts. This volume presents a rich tapestry of perspectives, drawing from an array of conflicts and incorporating insights from international experts across various disciplines, including contemporary literature, film studies, visual arts, and cultural studies. It critically builds upon and extends Marianne Hirsch's concept of postmemory, engaging with complex themes like the ethical dimensions of war writing, the authenticity of representations, and the creative power of art in reimagining traumatic events. This study not only challenges traditional boundaries in war literature and memory studies but also resonates with contemporary concerns about societal engagement with violent pasts, making it a significant addition to scholarly discourse and essential reading for those interested in the intersection of history, memory, and literature.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A heartwarming novel about secrets of youth rediscovered, hometown memories, and the magical moments in ordinary lives, from the beloved author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe “A gift, a blessing and a triumph . . . celebrates the bonds of family and friends—and the possibilities of recovery and renewal.”—The Free Lance–Star Bud Threadgoode grew up in the bustling little railroad town of Whistle Stop with his mother, Ruth, church-going and proper, and his Aunt Idgie, the fun-loving hell-raiser. Together they ran the town’s popular Whistle Stop Cafe, known far and wide for its fun and famous fried green tomatoes. And as Bud often said of his childhood to his daughter Ruthie, “How lucky can you get?” But sadly, as the railroad yards shut down and Whistle Stop became a ghost town, nothing was left but boarded-up buildings and memories of a happier time. Then one day, Bud decides to take one last trip, just to see what has become of his beloved Whistle Stop. In so doing, he discovers new friends, as well as surprises about Idgie’s life, about Ninny Threadgoode and other beloved Fannie Flagg characters, and about the town itself. He also sets off a series of events, both touching and inspiring, which change his life and the lives of his daughter and many others. Could these events all be just coincidences? Or something else? And can you really go home again?
