Book Description
"Salvalaggio, whose trademarks include intricate plotting and stark but affecting prose, scores another triumph."—Richmond Times-Dispatch Grace Adams has spent three years trying to move on—mentally, physically, emotionally—from the traumatizing events of her past. But it’s not easy when the world is morbidly curious about the crimes that shaped her childhood, when despite her changed name, people still track her down for the sensational details. Now in college in Bolton, Montana, the one person Grace has trusted with the truth about her past has betrayed her. The bestselling novelist Peter Granger wants to use Grace’s story in his next book, regardless of how desperate Grace is to keep the details to herself. And then, on Halloween night, Peter Granger’s house burns to the ground and his and his wife’s bodies are found inside. Montana state detective Macy Greeley is sent to Bolton to handle the investigation into the fire and deaths...which soon appear to be arson and murder. It doesn’t take Macy long to realize that Grace isn’t the only one whom Peter Granger has betrayed, and there are no shortage of others in town who took issue with him and his wife. What at first looked like a straightforward investigation is poised to expose some of Bolton’s darkest secrets, and the fallout may put more than one life in danger.

Book Description
Poetry transcends various emotions overflowing from a poet’s heart. It is a reflection of the spontaneous bleeding of words recollecting bliss and melancholia hidden in each manifold of experiences. These emotions unfold as the poet advance to the different phases, cycles and circumstances that life throws upon. From waking up in the morning and basking in the sun to staying up all night fighting the monsters inside the mind, listening endlessly to the rain; from believing in the magic of love to neglecting its romance; from dreaming and believing to failing and dying and back again. These leaves of poetry are examples of how the poet grow, shed and let go from the tree of life and love that holds and shelters her all these years. As time fleets by and the wind of fate reels into the night, the leaves start to drift and wander into the unknown until they slowly but painfully fall into the empty ground, dead.

Book Description
"Anguish" is a novel written by Graciliano Ramos, in which the narrator, Luís da Silva, a frustrated public servant and writer, turns to the past to deal with his anguish caused by the end of his engagement to Marina, who is now committed to Julião Tavares. The story shows how the permanent dissatisfaction with the present leads Luís to do a self-analysis and focus on his memories, which include a childhood of distant affections, sexual and professional frustrations. The narrative shows Luis's struggle to achieve professional and romantic success, but it is marked by constant disillusionment and lack of perspective. As connections with other characters grow, a drama unfolds inside the narrator's mind, leading to an outcome that will reflect in the narrator's frenzied thoughts. Memories and reality change from line to line. The reader should pay attention, as the stream of consciousness, in a chaotic inner monologue, sometimes seems like a mess, but it is not. The thread is there. The narration mixes past and present in the same paragraph and even in the same sentence. One moment, walking on the street, something he sees reminds him of something from childhood, and off we go, to then read a dialogue with someone in the present.
