What We Talk About On Sundays

Alexandra Appelqvist

Beschreibung

Stella leaves behind the quiet familiarity of her old
life in Monte Rosa for a fresh start in Stockholm.
Moving into the apartment next door to her father's,
she dreams of starting over – of freedom, distance
from the past, and the vibrant pulse of city life.
Peter, newly divorced, is finally chasing the dream
he once set aside: opening his own neighborhood
bistro. He's looking forward to a simpler, freer life –
and maybe even love. But with Stella unexpectedly
by his side, he finds himself torn between single life
and fatherhood in a new city.

One morning, they bump into each other in the
stairwell, each with a guest from the night before.
They realize how little they really know about one
another.

To reconnect, they make a pact: Sunday lunch,
every week for a year. At each meal, they'll share
one untold truth. But are they ready to reveal
the real reasons they left everything behind in
Monte Rosa?

Berlin Atomized - A Novel

Julia Kornberg

Berlin Atomized begins in Buenos Aires of the early 2000s with the self-baptisms of Nina Goldstein. She bathes too frequently, washing with fervor and repeating: "I am not asleep." She grows up partying and taking undeserved siestas, while her eldest brother Jeremías is drawn into the city's powder keg music scene, and the middle sibling, Mateo, learns of his terminal illness and prepares to join the IDF. Though Argentina faces the worst economic crisis in its history, the Goldsteins are being reared in a newly developed gated community that displaces working class families. Each sibling rehearses their escape from the capitalist Eden of their birth, unaware that the gated community will soon be underwater, and their family scattered all over the earth. 
 
 
 
The second half of the novel takes place between 2018 and 2035, imagining possible futures for this existence in migration. Jeremías lives in Paris until an undeclared war destroys the city, and Nina, after tracing Mateo's last steps to his death in Tel Aviv, ends up in Berlin, where the European Union is found in the shambles of its own history. The novel progresses into a dire near future of constant flight and fire as the siblings search for one another. Berlin Atomized is Julia Kornberg's napalm-ic debut—a tale about the end of the world, as told by the youth to which that world had been promised.

But it is there, in a weird little bathroom in a weird little church in a weird little town that Maggie Hansen finds herself. And as God would have it, she finds a lot more than that.
Daniel (Book 2)
Open Door Church has served as a homeless shelter for more than a decade, but when their pastor dies unexpectedly, it's up to Galen and Maggie to take up the reins and keep the ministry going, which won't be easy, as newcomers seem intent on tearing it down.

The Jesus Clones

Tordín Lyn

Imagine what could happen if a religious zealot possessing wealth, power, and bio-technical genius, came into possession of a thorn from the Crown of Thorns placed upon Jesus’ head at the time of His Crucifixion. Richard Francis Craig had such a thorn and recovered Jesus’s DNA from its fossilized remains. He then joined forces with two progressive members of the Church, Cardinal Giovanni and Bishop Bellarmine, and a biotech wunderkind, Kristjan Evans. They have the technology to read His genetic code, a gift from God given through the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the Virgin Birth of Jesus. Dare they go further? Do they have the courage to use His genetic information to recreate the essence of Jesus, His clone, resurrecting Him to usher in the Second Coming and End of Times, the Final Judgement?Richard Craig made his fortune using his technological genius to found the biopharmaceutical company GenFlux. He was brought up in a strict Christian family by a stern father, a minister in the Redemption Church, and an architect of the God Box. While in the God Box Richard had his vision of Revelation and the Second Coming. The world is in chaos approaching the years of Tribulation and Richard believed God’s desire was for Man to save himself. Did not Mankind discover medical breakthroughs that prevented misery and death? Did Richard not develop medical breakthroughs that cured illness and alleviated suffering? Did Man not harness the power of the atom and the power of DNA, the life force? Richard often felt he was chosen to be a Prophet of the Lord. He knew Mankind possessed the power to control the life force itself, DNA, and thus the life essence of any organism whose DNA sequence Man could acquire. Assisted by Cardinal Giovanni, Bishop Bellarmine, and fellow technological genius Kristjan Evans, Richard Craig formulated his plan to clone Jesus and hasten the Second Coming of Christ, the Final Judgment, and the End of Times.
