Title : Along Comes a Vagabond - Robert Goolrick - Book Summary : Elle Roman Readers' Prize 2013 It was during the summer of 1948 that Charlie Beale arrived in Brownsburg. He was carrying two suitcases—one containing a few belongings and butcher knives, the other a large sum of money. Charlie fell in love twice. First, he fell in love with this peaceful Virginia town whose inhabitants seemed to live with dignity, in tolerable fear of a God they had every reason to find rather benevolent towards them. One proof among others: there had never been a crime in Brownsburg before. The second time Charlie fell in love was the day he met Sylvan Glass. After Fierce And A simple and honest woman , Robert Goolrick offers us, with A vagabond arrives , a sensual and intoxicating dive into the heart of passion.

Title : Unforgivable - Philippe Djian - Book Summary : Yet I thought I had gotten out of all these stories, with age coming.

Title : The Moor's Last Sigh - Salman Rushdie - Book Summary : The disappearance of great-grandfather Francisco, swallowed by the churning waters of a lagoon somewhere on the southern coast of India, is the first of a long series of dramas set within the improbable Gama-Zogoiby family, from which the narrator Moraes, known as "The Moor," comes. He is the only, deformed son of the vivacious Aurora who, on bags of pepper, cardamom, and cumin, seduced the humble Abraham. Very quickly, the escapades of this stunning and perverse beauty will lead the Moor and his family into situations as comical as they are uncomfortable and perilous, from the murky waters of Bombay's slums to the corrupt circles of high finance. Blending comedy and farce, the epic and the marvelous, this allegory on the world's disorders is the author's first novel since The Satanic Verses. Salman Rushdie here returns to the vain picaresque of Midnight's Children, and his delicious and sensual writing, as much as his prodigious power of evocation, places him at the forefront of the writers of our time. Salman Rushdie, born in 1947 in Bombay, has lived in Great Britain since 1961. His books have all been awarded the most prestigious literary prizes and have been translated into twenty-five languages.

Title : What the night tells the day - Hector Bianciotti - Book Summary : For this book to exist, two continents were needed first, and for some Piedmontese, driven by poverty, to emigrate and clear a corner of this boundless plain called the pampas, where the center of the world moves with the man who walks. It was also necessary for a child, naturally destined for field work, to thwart his parents' plan and seize the only opportunity then offered to people of his condition: the seminary, where a jumble of special friendships, music, books, and the discovery of the French language awaited him. He was twelve years old. Over there, in Europe, the war was in full swing, while here, the dictatorship was established and prospered, soon to be that of Perón and Eva Duarte, under which no one escaped surveillance and denunciation. And it is the best friend who, suddenly revealing himself to be a high-ranking informer, and wanting to be forgiven, offers the former seminarian the saving boat ticket. Then begins the narrator's exile, his pockets empty, but in his heart, the certainty that, in the newfound freedom, life could, as for everyone, resemble a destiny.
