Sinopse

In 1955 Monika, an acclaimed Jew pianist from Berlin who had survived imprisonment in a concentration camp, is called by the police to identify a former Nazi officer whose quarters she was appointed to wash as a child. Monika doesn’t want to reveal the secrets of her past and the absolutely unusual relationship between her and the war criminal, due to the fact that he loved piano music and she could play. The story of the pianist slowly emerges through a series of flashbacks, from her childhood scarred by her father’s abuses, to the lager and then to her success, until it reaches an unexpected and moving conclusion.

    Love doesn't always follow the recipe... 
    Cass Little has built a life defined by two passions: food and control. As head chef she’s used to perfection—except when it comes to her own body. Menopause has taken its toll, leaving Cass struggling to accept a body she barely recognizes. She’s convinced that love, like her libido, has long left the building. 
    Estelle Raymond is back in Clearwater Bay to grieve her father—and escape a lifetime of expectations. A brilliant mathematician, she’s comfortable being asexual, but wary of the way love so often demands she be someone she’s not. 
    But something about Cass—a woman who loves fiercely but fears she’s not enough—awakens a desire for connection Estelle thought she’d buried. And something about Estelle—a woman who refuses to compromise her truth—makes Cass question everything she thought she knew about passion. 
    When old wounds and new desires collide, Cass and Estelle must learn that love isn’t always about reciprocity—it’s about trust, acceptance, and finding comfort in the unexpected. 
    Set in the small coastal town of Clearwater Bay, This Is Who I Am is a heartwarming sapphic romance about queer identity, self-acceptance, and the messy, beautiful ways we learn to love again. 
    Grab your copy now and fall in love with Cass and Estelle’s unforgettable journey.

    The One Who Waits by Ray Bradbury 
    Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) was a renowned American author and screenwriter, celebrated for his profound impact on the genres of science fiction and fantasy. Born in Waukegan, Illinois, he began writing at a young age, publishing his first short story at 18 and dedicating his life to storytelling. Best known for his novel "Fahrenheit 451," a dystopian tale highlighting censorship and the loss of individualism, Bradbury's work often explored the intersection of technology and humanity. 
    His vivid imagination brought to life a multitude of short stories, notably in “The Martian Chronicles,” which depicted human colonization on Mars, and "Something Wicked This Way Comes," a dark exploration of fear and morality. Bradbury's lyrical prose and philosophical depth earned him numerous accolades. An ardent advocate for libraries and reading, he emphasized the importance of literature in shaping society. Bradbury’s legacy continues to inspire writers and readers around the globe, solidifying his status as a literary giant.
