In a world where time has split into Before and After, the protagonist finds himself at the epicenter of an impending catastrophe. The city he loved and dedicated his entire life to is on the brink of destruction. In these final moments, before the sirens have even wailed, he already knows that the end is near. The feeling of cold, piercing to the bone, and the sounds of the city slowly dying gradually envelop his mind, extinguishing the last sparks of optimism. Sitting on a bench by the embankment, he writes his final thoughts in a notebook, understanding that his words may never be read. But in these lines, he tries to leave a mark, even if ephemeral, in this dying world. Time flows like sand through his fingers, and he feels a strange calm, accepting his fate. His writings are a cry of the soul, an attempt to capture the moments before the inevitable end.

Please don't ask me what the stories are about. Honestly, I really don't know. It's not like I don't wanna tell you or anything, I just can't explain it. I mean, I guess the stories are about being a human being and everything that comes with that. Like growing up and all the memories and feelings and all that shit. And how living is basically a constant struggle or something like that? Or maybe let me rephrase it: I think my main topic is life and living includes having emotions and changing and falling in love and experiencing heartbreak and anxiety and depression and wishing for things and dreaming about things and regretting things and having interactions with other people and, I mean, obviously so much more. And I guess all of these things, and the writing and thinking and talking about it ... that's what the stories are about. Happy?

On the streets of Brooklyn in the 1970s, Veronica Chambers mastered the whirling helixes of a double-dutch jump rope with the same finesse she brought to her schoolwork, her often troubled family life, and the demands of being overachieving and underprivileged. Her mother—a Panamanian immigrant—was too often overwhelmed by the task of raising Veronica and her difficult younger brother on her meager secretary's salary to applaud her daughter's achievements. From an early age, Veronica understood that the best she could do for her mother was to be a perfect child—to rewrite her Christmas wish lists to her mother's budget, to look after her brother, to get by on her own. Though her mother seemed to bear out the adage that "black women raise their daughters and mother their sons," Veronica never stopped trying to do more, do better, do it all. And now, as a successful young woman who's achieved more than her mother dared hope for her, she looks back on their mother-daughter bond. The critically acclaimed Mama's Girl is a moving, startlingly honest memoir, in which Chambers shares some important truths about what we all really want from our mothers—and what we can give in return.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

During the vacations, I was traveling, working and doing sports every day. After the vacations, I suddenly look like a new person: shorter hair, slimmer figure, but the guy I like now has a girlfriend. My summer was actually pretty good, with a few exceptions of course, but now I want to go back to school even less. At school, it's one topic after another and when Simon enters the classroom, it's clear that my changes aren't the only drama this year. But the biggest surprise awaits me after school when I meet Professor Monroe in the empty auditorium. There is a crackle of unspoken tension and unexpected compliments between us. His closeness throws me off balance and raises questions I would never have dared to ask myself. As I try to heal my broken heart and cope with the new school year, I have no idea that the biggest challenge still lies ahead.
