She found limited resources to help her, so Foo set out to heal herself, and to map her experiences onto the scarce literature about C-PTSD. She thought she’d moved on, but her new diagnosis illuminated the way her past continued to threaten her health, relationships, and career.

This reads like a mix between Girl Made of Stars and The Wicked Deep, and if you love either (bonus points for both) then you will completely love this story, too! This was moving, and powerful, and magical, and sweet, yet also heartbreaking. This was nothing short of a beautiful delight to read. And the other is the story of the summer we turned eighteen. One is the story of how my sister, Mary, and I were born. “Of all the stories about my family, the Fernweh women and the island of By-the-Sea, there are two that no one will ever forget. Over the course of her last summer on the island-a summer of storms, of love, of salt-Georgina will learn the truth about magic, in all its many forms. When tragedy strikes, what made the Fernweh women special suddenly casts them in suspicion. No one questions the (allegedly) three-hundred-year-old bird who comes to roost on the island every year. No one questions the weather, as moody and erratic as a summer storm. No one on the island of By-the-Sea would ever call the Fernwehs what they really are, but if you need the odd bit of help-say, a sleeping aid concocted by moonlight-they are the ones to ask. But with their eighteenth birthday looming at the end of this summer, Georgina fears her gift will never come.Īn island where strange things happen. Her twin sister, Mary, already shows an ability to defy gravity. Georgina Fernweh waits with growing impatience for the tingle of magic in her fingers-magic that has been passed down through every woman in her family. The way to save trees, and ourselves? Step aside and let forests - which are naturally better equipped to face environmental challenges - to heal themselves. Instead, they are ecosystems that consist of thousands of species, from animals to fungi and bacteria. Not only are these trees more susceptible to disease, flooding, fires, and landslides, we need to understand that forests are more than simply a collection of trees. While politicians and business leaders would have us believe that cutting down forests can be offset by mass tree planting, Wohlleben offers a warning: many tree planting schemes lead to ecological disaster. As human-caused climate change devastates the planet, forests play a critical role in keeping it habitable. Now, in The Power of Trees (translated by Jane Billinghurst) (Greystone), he turns to their future, with a searing critique of forestry management, tree planting, and the exploitation of old growth forests. In his beloved book The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben revealed astonishing discoveries about the social networks of trees and how they communicate. Peter Wohlleben in Conversation With Dave Millerįriday, May 5 7pm (PT) / Powell’s City of Books Just write about your own children or grandchildren, with heart and honesty. “In any period of 10 years, you should spend a third or a quarter writing something for children. “I want to call upon writers and poets to write for little readers,” he said. Nguyễn Quang Thiều, chairman of the judging panel, expects the awards will inspire other authors to write for children. REACHING MORE READERS: An English version of Diary of A Cricket. He wrote anytime, anywhere, on a business trip, during a break in a meeting, or even in a hospital bed.” “For him, writing was like morning exercise or breathing. He wrote tirelessly, professionally, and carefully.” “I believe that writing and writing again gave Tô Hoài stature. “His words are rich in imagery, his sentences lively,” Điệp said. Perhaps this is why many extracts from his books are cited at primary and secondary schools to enrich students’ vocabulary and language skills. He added that Tô Hoài’s language is diverse, rich, and profound. “He told stories of ordinary lives, Hà Nội stories, his own tales, and of changes in society, all with a tolerant and honest heart.” “He’s an author for children, adults, and people from all walks of life,” he said. Nguyễn Đăng Điệp, deputy director of the Literature Institute, said Tô Hoài’s works contain both humane and social values.

I found one good sentence in the whole of The Refugees, “his beautiful and heartrending new story collection”. I picked up Nguyen’s book with high expectations, having read his novel, The Sympathizer, which has great writing, wonderful sentences on every page. How is his fiction different from the normal, run-of-the-mill domestic stuff-the kind of fiction I can’t stand? A good place to begin would be with a comparison between his Tenth of December and another book of short stories recently published, The Refugees, by Viet Thanh Nguyen. In a recent rant I wrote on the sad state of the contemporary American short story, I railed against what is sometimes known as ‘The New Yorker story,’ that all-too-common pedestrian thing called “domestic literary fiction.” Happily, there are always exceptions to egregious trends, and George Saunders ( Tenth of December, Random House, 272 pages), who is a contributor to The New Yorker, is a big one.
