"Following Rilke's advice to "live the questions," this book invites us to draw upon his startling insights and often unconventional wisdom to see ourselves as ripening, unfolding, and always becoming. Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry has inspired readers formore than a century, and never more so than now. His rare spiritual vision speaks uniquely in a time when many are seeking freedom of thought and a more wholistic way of living. Written by two award-winning writers who have journeyed deeply with Rilke, this book invites readers-with Rilke-to "live" the deep questions facing us in our day, embracing the poet's refusal to reach for simplistic "answers." Through the originality and insight of their writing, Burrows and Dowrick honor readers' own experiencesand, in conversation with Rilke, invite them to examine their lives and "desire the change," as the poet put it. In so doing, they bring sublime poetry into the heart of daily life, where the gifts it carries are most needed. All translations are by MarkS. Burrows, a widely respected Rilke scholar and translator"-- Autorid: Mark S. Burrows, Stephanie Dowrick

The human and Kai kingdoms of Gaur and Bast-Haradis have negotiated a trade alliance that includes an arranged marriage between the Gauri king's niece and the Kai king's youngest son to seal the bargain. Ildiko has accepted her fate to become the wife of a hideous Kai husband and move to a foreign land where she knows little of the culture and even less of the people who aren't human and find humans repulsive. What she doesn't expect is to find her groom enchanting, kind, and fiercely devoted. But the strength of friendship may not be enough to grow or hold together a marriage when forces both worldly and otherworldly threaten to tear it and everything around them apart. In Radiance, Ildiko of Gaur submits to a marriage with the prince of the Kai, an Elder race possessing fading magic. Humans find the Kai hideous, and the sentiment is returned by the Kai. Ildiko has put that aside in the hopes her union with the prince will at least be one of civility. Equally resigned to his fate, Brishen Khaskem discovers his new bride is as ugly as he expected and more beautiful than he could have imagined. Two people brought together by duty will forge bonds of friendship and affection even as others scheme to destroy their union. A tale of friendship and devotion. In Eidolon, Brishen and Ildiko have found happiness in the Kai stronghold known as Saggara. That happiness, however, is short-lived when they must confront a demonic horde unleashed on the Kai kingdom, abominations which threaten to devour the world itself. They also have to face the hard realities of kingship, where the privilege of wearing the crown and taking the throne means making the ultimate sacrifice in lives, love, and the soul of a nation. A tale of alliance and sacrifice.

'A wry tale, deftly told... transforms the anguish of our moment into a fable of hope' RICHARD FLANAGAN, TLS 'I do not remember loving a book and a story this much in a very long time' MINNIE DRIVER 'Laugh-out-loud funny, disarmingly wise and very, very readable' NATHAN FILER 'You will not be able to stop thinking about this extraordinary book' SOPHIE WARD 'Both a celebration of trees and a warning of a planet in crisis' FINANCIAL TIMES 'A great and beautiful book that is profound and profoundly moving' JENNIFER CROFT 'Thrilling, thought-provoking and incredibly tender' CHIOMA OKEREKE 'A strange, profound exploration of what makes us human' THE BOOKSELLER ___________________________________________________________________________ What makes a person want to be a tree? Bren and his partner Caelyn are feeling at a standstill in their lives. One day they come across a video of people in the forest who believe that if they stand still for long enough they will transform into trees. The idea is absurd. But it's spreading. Soon, people start to go missing and trees appear in unlikely places. As cities decay and the world becomes greener, Caelyn becomes more and more convinced that arborescence is exactly what will save the planet from human destruction. Bren isn't so sure. Drifting apart, Bren and Caelyn are forced to question what it really means to be human - and if they are ready to stand still. Autorid: Rhett Davis

A Most Anticipated Book of the Year from The New York Times, Literary Hub, Stylist and many more 'Takes all the expected stories about growing up Indian American, slices them open with razor-sharp wit, and turns them inside out' CELESTE NG, author of OUR MISSING HEARTS 'Droll, caustic . . . and laced with wit and compassion' FINANCIAL TIMES Georgie and Agatha Krishna killed their uncle, and they blame the British. Summer, 1986. Tween sisters Georgie Ayyar and Agatha Krishna welcome their aunt, uncle and young cousin - newly arrived from India - into their house in rural Wyoming where they'll all live together. Because this is what families do. That is, until the sisters decide that it's time for their uncle to die. To understand why, you need to hear Georgie's story. It's one of violence hiding in their house and history, of her once-unshakeable bond with her sister, of being an Indian-American girl in the heart of the West. Her account is cheeky, unflinching and infectiously inflected with the trappings of teendom: pen pal letters, how-to guides, games of MASH and teen-magazine-style quizzes. And the tale she weaves is either: a) a vivid portrait of an extended family b) a moving story of sisterhood c) a playful ode to the 80s d) a murder mystery (of sorts) e) a ruthless meditation on history and language, trauma and healing, and the meaning of independence Or maybe it's really: f) all of the above. 'This thrilling bildungsroman is perfect for fans of Celeste Ng' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review) 'A fierce and marvelous book with an utterly unique, brightly burning lifeforce' MAGGIE SHPISTEAD, author of GREAT CIRCLE 'Tender, defiant, and formally daring . . . I couldn't stop reading' JESSAMINE CHAN, author of THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS Autorid: Nina McConigley
