Synopsis

"Hunger" is a groundbreaking novel by Knut Hamsun, which intricately explores the psychological and existential crises of a young writer grappling with poverty and isolation in late 19th-century Oslo. The narrative is steeped in a stream-of-consciousness style, presenting the protagonist's fragmented thoughts and emotions in a raw, visceral manner. Hamsun's keen observations of urban life, combined with his lyrical prose, illuminate the themes of despair, ambition, and the struggle for identity, situating the work within the literary movement of Modernism that was emerging at the time. Knut Hamsun, a Norwegian author and Nobel laureate, faced his own struggles with poverty and existential doubt, mirroring the plight of his protagonist. The experiences from his tumultuous youth, combined with his profound reflections on nature and the human psyche, endowed him with a unique perspective that shaped "Hunger." Hamsun's innovative approach to character and narrative would go on to influence many writers, making him a pivotal figure in world literature. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in psychological depth and themes of alienation. Hamsun's "Hunger" irresistibly invites readers to experience the harrowing beauty of a mind in turmoil, making it an essential work for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the human condition.

    As the coldest winter on record blows into Sugarcreek, will three hearts have the courage to discover the life that God wants for them? 
In the small Amish town of Sugarcreek, Ohio, Joshua knows what’s expected of him: to work at the family store and to finally marry Gretta, whom he’s courted for years. But when a new English family moves in next door—and their teenage daughter catches his eye—Joshua wonders if his future plans are set too firmly in stone. 
Gretta is shocked by the sudden change in Joshua. Their arguments, followed by tense silences, feel too much like the frosty atmosphere at home between her parents. When Roland begins to take an interest in her, she considers what her life might be like with Joshua out of the picture. With Roland, Gretta would have steady, kind companionship … although she knows she could never love him. 
When Lilly moved to Sugarcreek, she never imagined she’d be enamored with the Amish way of life—and especially with her handsome new neighbor, Joshua. But she guards a secret that will surely drive him away, one that compelled her family to leave their old home and move to Sugarcreek in the first place.

Who’d have guessed two girls on one block could harbour the same desire for such a forbidden act?

    A forbidden romance and summer of self-discovery from Selina Mae, the author of Lessons in Faking.

Valentina Rhodes has spent her life trying to please everyone, always putting her own needs aside. When she realizes her brilliant university degree is still not enough for her family, she knows something has to change. She plans for the summer at Oakport Island with her best friends to change everything. Armed with a bucket list of forbidden wishes, she's finally ready to discover who she really is.

Then Caden Callahan crashes her plans.

The charismatic soccer captain wasn't supposed to be here, and he definitely wasn't supposed to move into her room. Valentina tells herself the night they shared was a one-time mistake-until she discovers he'll be a part of their friend group all summer long. Now every stolen glance and accidental touch threatens to shatter the one rule keeping their group intact: no dating friends.

Valentina knows staying away from Caden is the smart choice. The safe choice. But as she starts putting herself first for once, she faces an impossible realization: maybe standing on her own doesn't mean standing alone.
