Within the tangled vines of the Amazon rainforest, a man stood poised to prey on an innocent girl. Within minutes, one teen girl's life was forever changed by a kidnapping. Forced to marry and bear her abductor's children, this courageous young woman survived her torment to escape her emotional prison. In the process, she freed her children so they could embrace a life of options that she lost out on. From the matriarchal trunk of this Brazilian family tree, read how this victimized female, Apolinaria, made, in time, a far greater impact than she would ever have thought possible. Her efforts cultivated a spiritual yield that reached well beyond the trees and rivers of her youth to the city of Sao Paulo (Brazil) and via her offspring, Chicago, where a long-buried tale of regret was dug up and laid bare. If you have ever known sorrow, regret and longed for loving forgiveness, this story will touch your heart like no other.

A New York Times Paperback Row Editor's Choice Combining the infectious narration of Nick Hornby’s Funny Girl, the philosophical lyricism of Roberto Bolaño’s The Savage Detectives, and the mesmerizing power of Anna North’s The Life and Death of Sophie Stark, a breathtaking debut, brimming with youthful brio and irresistible humor, that chronicles a young man’s friendship with a most peculiar artist. On a rooftop in Brooklyn on a spring night, a young intern and would-be writer, newly arrived from Copenhagen, meets the intriguing Ana Ivan. Clever and funny, with an air of mystery and melancholia, Ana is a performance artist, a mathematician, and a self-proclaimed time traveler. She is also bad luck, she confesses; she is from a cursed Romanian lineage. Before long, the intern finds himself seduced by Ana’s enthralling stories—of her unlucky countrymen; of her parents’ romance during the worst years of Nicolae Ceaucescu’s dictatorship; of a Daylight Savings switchover gone horribly wrong. Ana also introduces him to her latest artistic endeavor. Following the astronomical rather than the Gregorian calendar, she is trying to alter her sense of time—an experiment that will lead her to live in complete darkness for one month. Descending into the blackness with Ana, the intern slowly loses touch with his own existence, entangling himself in the lives of Ana, her starry-eyed mother Maria, and her raging math-prodigy father Ciprian. Peeling back the layers of her past, he eventually discovers the perverse tragedy that has haunted Ana’s family for decades and shaped her journey from the streets of Bucharest to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and finally to New York City. The Invention of Ana blurs the lines between narrative and memory, perception and reality, identity and authenticity. In his stunning debut novel, Mikkel Rosengaard illuminates the profound power of stories to alter the world around us—and the lives of the ones we love.
