  • June 2017 Janua Welcome to a New Year of New Books!
    NEW TITLES JANUARY - JUNE 2017 WELCOME TO A NEW YEAR OF NEW BOOKS! As we move through the remnants of 2016, a look back on the past year might inspire the well-worn adage, “you couldn’t make this stuff up”. The world looks forward to the next few years with anxious hearts and minds. While in 2016 truth may be stranger than fiction, at Jacaranda we enter 2017 with a stellar list of uniquely brilliant and illuminating tales. Whether debut voices, or veteran our authors take us from the darkly funny world of Nigerian satire with Anietie Isong’s RADIO SUNRISE, through the stifling exacting world of Tokyo motherhood, with Rahdika Jha’s exquisite novel, MY BEAUTIFUL SHADOW. Starkly evocative landscapes and searing observations of human cruelty and kindness make this work a stand out feature title for the spring. As we move into the summer, we slip into azure, warm Caribbean waters with two genre fiction offerings: Paula Lennon’sMURDER IN MONTEGO BAY, a crime procedural set in the heart of this famed Jamaican holiday destination and Rasheda Malcolm’s SWIMMING WITH FISHES, a very traditional romantic novel enlivened by its Caribbean setting. These offerings promise a new flavour to well-used recipes, new perspectives on old traditions, and bright new voices in the publishing arena. To say we at Jacaranda are excited about our publishing for next year would be a great understatement; we are ecstatic and sincerely hope you will be too.

In questa ottica vorremmo, io e i miei amici, (ormai poco numerosi per queste avventure) incuranti dei sacrifici, degli sforzi, delle notti in tenda e delle camminate ad alta quota, ma anche consci che nel 2013 toyota e cavalli possono volendo essere di aiuto, rivedere le torri aspre del regno di Guge e le caverne attorno a Toling. Per non parlare delle delizie della lunga panca del Drirapuk dove passare una notte insonne, possibilmente senza far- mi calpestare da vicini troppo corpulenti Naturalmente questa volta eviteremo di farci bagnare fino al midollo dal monsone estivo e pertanto partiremo tardi per cui questo catalogo deve essere pronto prima: vi farò il rendiconto nel prossimo anno ormai ..a Dio piacendo. Quest’anno non è uscito, purtroppo per ragioni personali, il catalogo di primavera: sono quindi in ritardo e me ne scuso, ma ho avuto il piacere di ricevere qualche telefonata di amici che me ne chiedevano notizie. Confesso di avere sentito un brivido di orgoglio nel pensare che qualcuno si dispiaceva di non averlo ricevuto, sospettando qualche disguido. Ho anche deciso per questa volta di cambiare un po’ il format arricchendo l’offerta su aree speci- fiche e spezzando il catalogo in tre grandi aree.

    FRANKFURT 2004 REFERENCE NUMBER: 130080 Peter Ackroyd THE LAMBS OF LONDON “A delicious entertainment” Sunday Telegraph Brother and sister Charles and Mary Lamb become acquainted with self-educated bookseller’s son, William Henry Ireland. Mary shares William’s love of Shakespeare, and, he, thanks to a mysterious patron, happens upon previously unseen works by the Bard. But are they real works, or forged, and, if so, by whom? As suspicion grows, Mary’s mental state deteriorates. A gripping story of art imitating art, The Lambs of London brilliantly recreates an urban world of scholars and entrepreneurs, actors and theatre managers, a world of betrayal and deceit. Ingenious.

Meanwhile, a group of religious terrorists plan five acts of violence to occur at five key sites in London. And within this group, there is a second, secret group with another agenda still – to dethrone King Richard II, and crown his cousin Henry Bolingbroke in his place.
