Sixteen-year-old Whisper, who has a cleft palate, lives in an encampment with three other young rejects and their caregiver, Nathanael. They are outcasts from a society (in the not-too-distant future) that kills or abandons anyone with a physical or mental disability. Whisper’s mother visits once a year. When she dies, she leaves Whisper a violin, which Nathanael teaches her to play. Whisper’s father comes to claim her, and she becomes his house slave, her disfigurement hidden by a black veil. But when she proves rebellious, she is taken to the city to live with other rejects at a house called Purgatory Palace, where she has to make difficult decisions for herself and for her vulnerable friends.
My Heart and Other Black Holes
A stunning novel about the transformative power of love, perfect for fans of 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with plotting her own death. With a mother who can barely look at her without wincing, classmates who whisper behind her back, and a father whose violent crime rocked her small town, Aysel is ready to turn her potential energy into nothingness. There’s only one problem: she’s not sure she has the courage to do it alone. But once she discovers a website with a section called Suicide Partners, Aysel’s convinced she’s found her solution—Roman, a teenage boy who’s haunted by a family tragedy, is looking for a partner. Even though Aysel and Roman have nothing in common, they slowly start to fill in each other’s broken lives. But as their suicide pact becomes more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it. Ultimately, she must choose between wanting to die or trying to convince Roman to live so they can discover the potential of their energy together.
A Comprehensive Summary and Analysis of La Grenadiere
Nestled along the majestic Loire River, a short distance from the bustling bridge of Tours, rests La Grenadière. It is not a grand chateau, but a humble vintage house, radiating a charm that captivates the soul. The surrounding landscape unfolds like a painter's masterpiece: a canvas of green islands scattered across the expansive river, framed by majestic cliffs that cradle charming country houses. These houses, built of pristine white stone, are embraced by flourishing gardens and vineyards, nurtured by the sun's generous rays. Generations of devoted labor have sculpted terraces into the cliffs, ingeniously maximizing the sun's warmth and coaxing forth the most luscious fruits, rivaling those of the Mediterranean.
