Thanks to @amazoncrossing and @tlcbooktours for the gifted copy. QOTD: What's your favorite translated work? I'm excited about being on tour for this because I haven't read many translated works and it is also a parable. Bees are fascinating so I'm looking forward to reading how they are used in this tale. 🐝 SYNOPSIS 🐝 From an award-winning Tunisian author comes a stirring allegory about a country in the aftermath of revolution and the power of a single quest. Sidi lives a hermetic life as a bee whisperer, tending to his beloved “girls” on the outskirts of the desolate North African village of Nawa. He wakes one morning to find that something has attacked one of his beehives, brutally killing every inhabitant. Heartbroken, he soon learns that a mysterious swarm of vicious hornets committed the mass murder—but where did they come from, and how can he stop them? If he is going to unravel this mystery and save his bees from annihilation, Sidi must venture out into the village and then brave the big city and beyond in search of answers. Along the way, he discovers a country and a people turned upside down by their new post–Arab Spring reality as Islamic fundamentalists seek to influence votes any way they can on the eve of the country’s first democratic elections. To succeed in his quest, and find a glimmer of hope to protect all that he holds dear, Sidi will have to look further than he ever imagined. In this brilliantly accessible modern-day parable, Yamen Manai uses a masterful blend of humor and drama to reveal what happens in a country shaken by revolutionary change after the world stops watching. #TheArdentSwarm #YamenManai #AmazonCrossing #allegory #bees #translatedfiction #diversereads #booksoutside #bookfeature #books #bookdragon #bibliophile #bookish #bookworm #bipocbookstagram #yellowbooks #Tunisia #booksofIG #hardcover #booksbooksbooks #ownvoices #NorthAfricabooks #readAfricabooks #readtheworld #fiction #whattoread #toberead #parable #decolonizeyourfeed (at Middle Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNiee3_LPuO/?igshid=lytgzrqil3if

#qotd - What language would you most like to learn? . @amazonpublishing #AmazonCrossing #Gerta #KaterinaTuckova #VeroniqueFirkusny #translation #historicalfiction @tlcbooktours The award-winning novel by Czech author Kateřina Tučková—her first to be translated into English—about the fate of one woman and the pursuit of forgiveness in a divided postwar world. 1945. Allied forces liberate Nazi-occupied Brno, Moravia. For Gerta Schnirch, daughter of a Czech mother and a German father aligned with Hitler, it’s not deliverance; it’s a sentence. She has been branded an enemy of the state. Caught in the changing tides of a war that shattered her family—and her innocence—Gerta must obey the official order: she, along with all ethnic Germans, is to be expelled from Czechoslovakia. With nothing but the clothes on her back and an infant daughter, she’s herded among thousands, driven from the only home she’s ever known. But the injustice only makes Gerta stronger, more empowered, and more resolved to seek justice. Her journey is a relentless quest for a seemingly impossible forgiveness. And one day, she will return. . #bookstagram #picoftheday #booklover #bookstagrammer #instabooks #instabook #bibliophile #historicalfiction #pictureoftheday #picoftheday #instagood #booklife #bookish #czech (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJW5hsoA01p/?igshid=qwrc19z4hs58

“L’incidente svedese” di Kevin Wignall Dopo un inizio promettente, ho avuto seri problemi a proseguire nella lettura, tanto da averla centellinata solamente perché speravo che qualcosa cambiasse.
