Sinossi

In "Arne: A Sketch of Norwegian Country Life," Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson presents a rich tapestry of rural Scandinavian life, blending vivid descriptions of the Norwegian landscape with intricate character studies. This novella not only reflects the natural beauty of Norway but also delves into the complexities of its social fabric, emphasizing themes of community, identity, and the passage of time. Bjørnson's prose is imbued with a lyrical quality, reminiscent of his background in poetry, making the narrative both evocative and accessible. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, the work situates itself within the national romanticism movement, drawing attention to the simplicity and integrity of peasant life, which serves as a counterpoint to the rapid industrialization of Europe. Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, a prominent figure in Norwegian literature and a Nobel laureate, was deeply influenced by his homeland's traditions and struggles. His experiences growing up in Gudbrandsdalen and his engagement with the political landscape of Norway during a time of burgeoning national identity undoubtedly shaped the narratives he crafted. Bjørnson's commitment to depicting the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by his characters speaks to his belief in the transformative power of literature, as well as his deep love for Norwegian culture. This evocative work is highly recommended for readers interested in cultural history, Scandinavian literature, and the complex portrayal of rural life. "Arne" not only entertains but also invites reflections on identity and place, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the nuances of Norwegian heritage and the human condition.

    Michael McCabe doesn't take vacations—especially not after nearly losing his brother to a psychotic arsonist. But when an explosion rocks his enforced getaway in Tahiti, the off-duty SWAT officer is pulled into a crisis that looks like far more than bad luck. 
     
    Alex Kessler came to the islands to scatter his late wife's ashes—a final step in a grieving process that's consumed him for a year and a half. The last thing he expects is to be swept into danger . . . or into the guarded orbit of a man like Michael. 
     
    When the threat follows them back home to Seattle, survival means trust—and what began as a single violent incident spirals into something deeper: secret files, hidden agendas, and a classified operation known only as Project Asphodel. 
     
    As the danger escalates, so does their connection—raw, unexpected, and impossible to ignore. Sometimes what happens in Tahiti doesn't stay there. Sometimes, it follows you home. 
     
    Contains mature themes.

    "The Blackout Book Club is a fabulous novel that will warm the hearts of readers everywhere. Amy Lynn Green gives us a poignant look at life on the home front during WWII and how comfort and camaraderie can be found in the shared love of books. This will be a wonderful book club read!"--MADELINE MARTIN, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Bookshop in London 
     
    In 1942, an impulsive promise to her brother before he goes off to the European front puts Avis Montgomery in the unlikely position of head librarian in small-town Maine. Though she has never been much of a reader, when wartime needs threaten to close the library, she invents a book club to keep its doors open. The women she convinces to attend the first meeting couldn't be more different--a wealthy spinster determined to aid the war effort, an exhausted mother looking for a fresh start, and a determined young war worker. 
     
    At first, the struggles of the home front are all the club members have in common, but over time, the books they choose become more than an escape from the hardships of life and the fear of the U-boat battles that rage just past their shores. As the women face personal challenges and band together in the face of danger, they find they have more in common than they think. But when their growing friendships are tested by secrets of the past and present, they must decide whether depending on each other is worth the cost. 
     
    Includes a book club discussion guide and The Blackout Book Club book list
