I Will Have Vengeance The Winter of Commissario Ricciardi

Maurizio de Giovanni Translated from the Italian by Anne Milano Appel Shortlisted for the 2012 Crime Writers Association Daggers Award. Naples, March 1931: a bitter wind stalks the city streets, and murder lies at its chilled heart. When one of the world’s greatest tenors, Maestro Vezzi, is found brutally murdered in his dressing room at Naples’ famous San Carlo Theatre, the enigmatic and aloof Commissario Ricciardi is called in to investigate. Arrogant and bad-tempered, Vezzi was hated by many, but with the livelihoods of the opera company at stake, who would have committed this callous act? Ricciardi, along with his loyal colleague, Maione, is determined to discover the truth. But Ricciardi carries his own secret: will it help him solve this murder? Fans of Donna Leon and Manuel Vázquez Montalbán will thrill to this new voice in crime fiction. This is the first book in a quartet of masterful crime novels set in fascist Italy—the series has taken European readers by storm. Europa Editions will publish all four books in the quartet.

The Threads of the Heart Translated from the French by Howard Curtis Acquired by the same editor who discovered The Elegance of the Hedgehog for French publisher Gallimard, winner of no less than nine literary prizes, compared by critics to The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende and One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez, a bestseller in France and Italy, and soon to be made into major film directed by the author herself, this debut novel by Carole Martinez is a bona fide publishing sensation. They say Frasquita knows magic, that she is a healer with occult powers, that perhaps she is a sorcerer. She does indeed possess a remarkable gift, one that has been passed down to the women in her family for generations. From rags, off-cuts, and rough fabric she can create gowns and other garments so magnificent, so alive, that they bestow a breathtaking and blinding beauty on whoever wears them; they are also capable of masking any kind of defect or deformity (or a pregnancy!). But Frasquita’s gift incites jealousy. She is hounded and eventually banished from her home, and what follows is an extraordinary adventure as she travels across southern Spain all the way to Africa with her five children in tow. Her exile becomes a quest for a better life, for both herself and her daughters, whom she hopes can escape the fate of her family of sorcerers. The Threads of the Heart possesses the lyric beauty of a prose poem and the narrative power of myth.

Author Carole Martinez, a former actress and photographer, currently teaches French in a middle school in Issy-les-Moulineaux. She began writing during her maternity leave in 2005. For Europa Editions, Howard Curtis has translated five novels by JeanClaude Izzo. His translation of the final book in Izzo’s Marseilles trilogy, Solea, was shortlisted for the French-American and Florence Gould Translation Prize in 2008. Praise for The Threads of the Heart “If Gabriel García Márquez and Carson McCullers had had a child together, and if that child had inherited the poetic lyricism of the former and the fine sensibilities of the latter, she would resemble Carole Martinez.” —Buzz Litteraire “Carole Martinez interrogates unflinchingly the mystery of human relations, and the power games between men and women…she refuses to be trapped in ‘realism,’…she prefers poetry and imagination.” —Evelyne De Martinis, Le Nouvel Observateur

Life Form Amélie Nothomb

Here is a new work of fiction by the always surprising Nothomb that subverts any attempts at categorization; a smart, singular, surreal novel about personality and philosophy, trauma and healing, solitude and human connection from one of Europe’s most talked about and beloved authors. One morning, the heroine of this book, a well-known author named Amélie Nothomb, receives a letter from one of her readers— an American soldier stationed in Iraq by the name of Melvin Mapple. Horrified by the endless violence around him, Melvin takes comfort in over-eating. He eats and eats until his fat starts to suffocate him and he can barely fit into his XXXXL clothes. Disgusted with himself, but unable to control his eating, he takes his mind off his ever-growing bulk by naming it Scheherazade and pretending that his own flesh will keep an increasingly intolerable loneliness at bay. Repulsed but also fascinated, Nothomb begins an exchange with Mapple. She finds herself opening up to him about her difficulties with being in the public spotlight and the challenges of her work. An epistolary friendship of sorts develops, one that delves into universal questions about human relationships, one with an unexpected (to say the least!) final twist.

Amélie Nothomb was born in Japan of Belgian parents in 1967. She lives in Paris. Her books have been translated into over thirty different languages and been awarded numerous prizes including Grand Prix Giono in 2008. Alison Anderson’s translations for Europa Editions include novels by Sélim Nassib, Amélie Nothomb and Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt. She is the translator of Muriel Barbery’s novel The Elegance of the Hedgehog, a New York Times bestseller. Praise for Life Form “Her well-mannered prose, her clear and accomplished style, her aristocratic culture of a bygone day (Nothomb is the daughter of a Belgian diplomat)…perhaps this is why she has touched such a large audience in France, nostalgic for a time when French literature was preeminent among the arts and in the world.”—Boston Review

“Read Amélie Nothomb! It’s a bit like opening a bag full of surprises.” — Le Globe-Lecteur “Amélie Nothomb is a modern-day diva, which is why her fans love her.” —Donna Moderna

The Rage Gene Kerrigan

Vincent Naylor, just released from jail, resumes doing what he does best: planning for a high stakes robbery. Bob Tidey, an honest policeman, discouraged by his colleagues’ deals with criminals and about to commit perjury, is investigating the murder of one of Dublin’s many suspect bankers. A call from an old acquaintance will change the course of his investigation. Maura Coady, a retired nun living on regrets and bad memories, notices something that she can’t ignore and makes a phone call that will set in motion a series of fateful events. The Rage is a finely crafted literary crime fiction that will appeal to readers of Michael Connelly and Dennis Lehane. Set in contemporary Ireland it is as socially aware as it is entertaining, as artful as it is exciting.

Gene Kerrigan is a Dublin writer. He has been a journalist for over thirty years, Journalist of the Year in 1985 and 1990, and is the author of the novels The Midnight Choir and Little Criminals. Praise for Gene Kerrigan “Kerrigan’s gripping police procedurals…are good news for readers who can appreciate the moral complexities of a flawed hero.” —The New York Times “With a dexterous use of language married to masterful plotting, Kerrigan has something of James Joyce’s ability in conjuring up a vivid Dublin—but this modern city is very different than the one Leopold Bloom wandered through.”—The Independent (UK) “An absorbing, beautifully written tale of detection and crime.” —The Times (London) “Kerrigan’s prose is luxury stuff.”—The New Yorker “Ripping crime tales, impressive in scope and crackling with energy, as well as a fascinating portrait of contemporary Ireland.”—Kirkus (starred review)

Last Friends Jane Gardam The third installment in the Old Filth trilogy, Last Friends will surprise and delight Gardam fans and appeal to new readers as it concludes a portrait of a marriage equal to any in the English language. Of Edward Feathers, a.k.a. Old Filth, the New York Times wrote, “he belongs in the Dickensian pantheon of memorable characters.” Filth, which stands for Failed in London Try Hong Kong, is a successful barrister who has spent most of his career practicing law in Southeast Asia. He met his wife, Betty, after she was released from an internment camp at the close of World War II. The first two books in this series—Old Filth and The Man in the Wooden Hat— told the story of their life together first from Edward’s perspective, and then from Betty’s. Last Friends is Edward’s longtime nemesis and Betty’s sometime lover, Terry Veneering’s turn and with its telling a magnificent and deeply moving story comes to its satisfying final pages. As the Washington Post commented, these “absolutely wonderful” books give us “an astute, subtle depiction of marriage.” With this third revealing view of Betty and Edward’s life together the depiction is completed as readers renew their connection to this remarkable, unforgettable couple.

Back to Delphi Ioanna Karystiani

Linos has been granted a five-day furlough from prison, where he is serving a life sentence for murder. His mother has decided to take him to Delphi. A few days spent in that magical place, she thinks, might distract him from his awful fate. She also hopes that this brief time together might be a chance for them to repair what has become a damaged relationship. To that end, she has a difficult revelation to share with her son: ten years earlier, it was she who led the police to him; she is responsible for his arrest and imprisonment. Over the course of five days, as mother and son wander the magnificent ruins of Delphi, matters concerning Linos’s childhood that have been buried for decades resurface. This ambitious and magnificent work of literary fiction is a return to the origins of Greek tragedy, a story about guilt and innocence, about the monsters that lurk even in everyday life, and about the complex relationship between mothers and their sons.

Praise for Ioanna Karystiani “The divine Ioanna Karystiani is the great hope for Greek fiction.” —The Guardian (London) “Grim yet gorgeous, [The Jasmine Isle] is a modern Greek tragedy about love foredoomed, family life as battlefield, the wisdom and wantonness of the human heart and the implacable finality of the hand of fate.” —Kirkus “One can not stop reading to the very end of Back to Delphi…Karystiani expresses the inexpressible.”—Maria Simonetti, L’Espresso

Falling to Earth March 18, 1925. The day begins as any other rainy, spring day in the small settlement of Marah, Illinois. But the town lies directly in the path of the worst tornado in US history, which will descend without warning at midday and leave the community in ruins. By nightfall, hundreds will be homeless and hundreds more will lie in the streets, dead or grievously injured. Only one man, Paul Graves, will still have everything he started the day with–– his family, his home, and his business, all miraculously intact. Based on the historic Tri-State tornado, Falling to Earth follows Paul Graves and his young family in the year after the storm as they struggle to comprehend their own fate and that of their devastated town, as they watch Marah try to resurrect itself from the ruins, and as they miscalculate the growing resentment and hostility around them with tragic results. Beginning with its electrifying opening pages, Falling to Earth is at once a revealing portrayal of survivor’s guilt and the frenzy of bereavement following a disaster, a meditation on family, and a striking depiction of Midwestern life in the 1920s. Falling to Earth marks the debut of a splendid new writing talent.

Born and raised in Chicago, she now lives in Oslo, Norway with her husband and their two daughters. Falling to Earth is her first novel. From Falling to Earth

Paul had only gone outside to stand on the sidewalk to see why the sky had gone so dark, why the wind had picked up and there were so many dead leaves flying by the windows suddenly. He’d intended to have a look and then go right back in, to laugh and tell Irene they were in for a good soaking, and then to call the other men inside the store. He’d meant to go back in but he’d been frozen there, looking down Union Street in the direction of home when he’d seen the cloud. He could see nothing else, no sky at its edges, no space below or above it, just the seething black cloud rolling towards him, swallowing the street. The screams behind him had brought him back to himself, and it was then he’d thought to grab the telegraph pole because he was two steps closer to it than he was to the store, and he’d fallen with his arms around it the way he used to fall on the football in high school.

Bitter Almonds Laurence Cossé Translated from the French by Alison Anderson From the author of A Novel Bookstore comes this delightful story about friendship across racial and economic barriers set in contemporary Paris. Édith can hardly believe it when she learns that Fadila, her sixtyyear-old housemaid, is completely illiterate. How can a person living in Paris in the third millennium possibly survive without knowing how to read or write? How does she catch a bus, or pay a bill, or withdraw money from the bank? Why it’s unacceptable! She thus decides to become Fadila’s French teacher. But teaching something as complex as reading and writing to an adult is rather more challenging that she thought. Their lessons are short, difficult, and tiring. Yet, during these lessons, the oh-so-Parisian Édith and Fadila, an immigrant from Morocco, begin to understand one other as never before, and from this understanding will blossom a surprising and delightful friendship. Édith will enter into contact with a way of life utterly unfamiliar to her, one that is unforgiving at times, but also full of joy and dignity.

From Bitter Almonds “Haven’t you ever wanted to learn how to read?” Édith asks. “Yes, one time I starting!” says Fadila. A few years earlier she had signed up for a class, in a parish not far from her home; she’s forgotten the name of the church. “I no continue.” The instructor had called her several times, insisting she continue the class. “She say I nearly there.” The others in the class had all learned to read. Fadila shrugs. Had she given up because it was too difficult? She couldn’t manage? On the contrary. “The lady she say I am the best to recognize the letters.” As she speaks she points with her chin and her hand, as if at a blackboard. But the class was held in the evening, and it wasn’t exactly next door. Fadila found it hard to go back out after dinner.
