From the author of Dear Marcus comes a breathtaking novel about a fated love affair that crosses the divides of race and class.\n\nRashid is a young Black man from Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, with a complicated life. Looking for an escape from a neighborhood few ever leave, he finds it in Rachel-married, twenty years his senior, and the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. It begins with a flirtation and a tryst. It becomes an intense romance, exhilarating and enriching, that defies the expectations of Rashid's friends and family. What draws Rachel to Rashid is his curiosity, his need for intimacy, and his adoration-everything lacking in her crumbling marriage. But as the fault lines of their relationship become more prevalent, so do the inevitable choices one makes when falling in love.

In the vein of Hannah Kent's Burial Rites, THE WATCH HOUSE by Bernie McGill is the story of the modern world arriving on Rathlin, a remote Irish island, at the very end of the nineteenth century, with dramatic consequences for a young woman named Nuala.\n\nAs the twentieth century dawns on the island of Rathlin, a place ravaged by storms and haunted by past tragedies, Nuala Byrne is faced with a difficult decision. Abandoned by her family for the new world, she receives a proposal from the island's aging tailor. For the price of a roof over her head, she accepts.\n\nMeanwhile the island is alive with gossip about the strangers who have arrived from the mainland, armed with mysterious equipment which can reportedly steal a person's words and transmit them through thin air. When Nuala is sent to cook for these men - engineers, who have been sent to Rathlin by Marconi to conduct experiments in the use of wireless telegraphy - she encounters an Italian named Gabriel, who offers her the chance to equip herself with new skills and knowledge. As her friendship with Gabriel opens up horizons beyond the rocky and treacherous cliffs of her island home, Nuala begins to realise that her deal with the tailor was a bargain she should never have struck.

«Le parole nell’aria è lirico, tenero e spietato… Bernie McGill scrive con tocco leggero e infinita empatia. È narrativa al suo meglio» - The Guardian \r\n\r\n«Bernie McGill scrive della vita, dell’amore e degli albori del telegrafo senza fili con lo sguardo limpido di un poeta» - The Sunday Times\r\n\r\n«Questo romanzo vi possiederà» - Sunday Mirror\r\n\r\nÈ l’estate del 1898 nella piccola isola irlandese di Rathlin, non lontana dalla costa settentrionale dell’Irlanda. La giovane Nuala Byrne, abbandonata dalla famiglia partita a cercare fortuna nel Nuovo Mondo, non vede altra possibilità per garantirsi la sopravvivenza se non sposare l’anziano sarto del paese. Un matrimonio scialbo, senza amore, con tanto duro lavoro in un’Irlanda rurale povera e gelida. Ma il vento del cambiamento soffia anche nella remota Rathlin: sull’isola sbarca uno scienziato italiano, Gabriele Donati, collaboratore di Guglielmo Marconi, cui sono affidati i primi esperimenti del telegrafo senza fili e della trasmissione di onde radio. E quando Nuala, mandata a servizio dal nuovo arrivato verrà invece da lui arruolata come apprendista, il mondo della scienza le aprirà nuovi, inimmaginabili orizzonti. Bernie McGill è bravissima a unire due mondi: l’arretratezza dell’isola e la modernità portata dagli uomini di Marconi. Se Nuala è una creatura imbevuta della tradizione locale e anche un po’ magica – sa guarire con le erbe, sa captare le voci dei morti, sa vedere il futuro – la tecnologia avanzata di Gabriele in fondo fa la stessa cosa: capta voci, vince lo spazio e il tempo, rende possibile quello che sembrava inimmaginabile. Una comunione di anime, la loro, molto suggestiva che dà grande fascino a questo libro, rendendolo curiosamente scientifico e «magico» allo stesso tempo.

The events in Jet Age Man took place during the early Cold War, an era that will go down as a period when civilization teetered on the edge of the abyss. To some, nuclear deterrence appeared as utter madness, and was in fact commonly referred to as M.A.D. The concept of Mutually Assured Destruction provoked protests and marches, and the architect of M.A.D, General Curtis LeMay, became a symbol of madness himself. \n\nRaised during those turbulent times, most contemporary historians conclude that we were lucky to have survived. What they fail recognize is that for LeMay and the thousands of Cold War warriors who fought and won while serving in the Strategic Air Command, the proof of concept lies not in the\"\"what if?\"\" but in the reality, \"\"what did.\"\" Historically, M.A.D. succeeded where appeasement, diplomacy and even hot wars failed. When The Wall came down, strength, not weakness, had prevailed. \n\nMost of this story takes place in the Cold War trenches of the Strategic Air Command. It is about those who served and the many who died, told by someone who, as a young man, literally held the fate of all mankind within reach of a switch. More particularly, this is a story of man's interaction with two bombers that changed the course of political history, and were perhaps the most influential aircraft in the annals of aircraft development.\n\nThe author piloted and instructed in both the B-47 and the B-52, starting out as a copilot in the B-47, then aircraft commander and finally, instructor pilot in both aircraft. Jet Age Man chronicles his fifteen-year relationship with the B-47 and the aircraft the B-47 became, the B-52--a bomber still in service today.\n\nJet Age Man has been nominated as Best Military History Book 2013 in the prestigious journal Air Power History, published by the US Air Force Historical Foundation.

C'è una lingua di terra che corre tra Repubblica d'Irlanda e Irlanda del Nord. Al centro di essa, a Lifford, viene trovato sotto la neve il cadavere di Angela Cashell, una ragazzina di quindici anni. L'indagine è affidata all'ispettore Ben Devlin della Garda Police, la polizia nazionale irlandese. Unici indizi: un anello con una pietra di luna e una vecchia fotografia. In gabbia, intanto, finisce il padre della ragazza, Johnny Cashell, colpevole di aver appiccato il fuoco, insieme ai fratelli, a un accampamento di nomadi per farla pagare a un certo Whitey McKelvey. È Whitey l'assassino di Angela? È lui che ha cercato di vendere l'anello a un banco dei pegni e che si trovava insieme alla ragazza la notte dell'omicidio? Alla ricerca di risposte, Devlin sprofonda in una storia nerissima. Un rompicapo maledetto, in cui ogni indizio rimanda a un passato tragico consumato in quella terra di confine.
