7 ebooks to read in summer
To make your choice even easier, Rakuten Kobo recommends 7 unmissable titles to “pack in your suitcase” this summer. From adventure novels to love stories, from gripping thrillers to essays on current events: these titles will accompany every moment of relaxation, transforming your vacation into an unforgettable experience.
Cristina Cassar Scalia, The Chestnut of a Hundred Horses
«La Boscaiola» was a shy type, but he didn’t bother anyone: one of those people who don’t seem to have friends or even enemies. Yet someone killed her. Then she raged on her corpse as if she had a specific intent. A new case for Vanina Guarrasi.
Joel Dicker, A Wild Animal
A Wild Animal is a breathtaking thriller built around a perfect suspense mechanism, which reminds us why Joël Dicker, the author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, has become a worldwide publishing phenomenon. This book tells the story of a robbery that took place in a jewelry store located on the shore of Lake Geneva, which becomes the pretext to tell much more about today’s society and its obsessions.
The alternation of time planes and flashbacks set around Europe serve to provide explanations but also to confuse, without making it fully clear what happened that day and how the lives of two families, close and distant, are connected more than expected. they themselves think.
Francesca Giannone, Tomorrow, tomorrow
This is the story of the passion that first unites and then divides a brother and a sister. A story that talks about decisions made by listening to the mind or the heart or both. Of that moment that can change an entire life. But also of an Italy which, in disbelief, is discovering a sudden well-being, which works on the assembly line and then sings with Mina and dances to the rhythm of the twist, young, creative, impatient…
Ferzan Ozpetek, Hidden Heart
After the bestseller Like a breath, Ozpetek returns to investigate female feelings with delicacy and empathy, focusing on the aspirations of two women intimately connected to each other, despite the distance in time and space: a girl still
in search of her own identity and a woman who does not give up on fate. Overcoming every barrier, Alice and Irene will never stop talking to each other.
Neige Sinno, Sad Tiger
What you will read is not “just” the story of a little girl who was raped for years by an adult; it is the obstinate search for the tools to talk about that other place, the land of darkness where all those like Neige live; it is the clear rejection of rhetoric
of victims (no resilience, no oblivion, no forgiveness); it is the need to find simple, precise words that declare the irreparability of the damage; it is the urgency of bearing witness, yes, but collectively. Sad Tiger is the journey into this dimension, it is the necessary dialogue with the greats of literature who have questioned this dimension, and who have provided the author with the tools for all this.
Selvaggia Lucarelli, Pandoro’s Vase
On 15 December 2023 Chiara Ferragni, an internationally renowned fashion blogger and digital entrepreneur at the height of her success, was fined by the Antitrust for unfair commercial practice. The accusation is that of having passed off a commercial operation as a charitable initiative aimed at the treatment of children suffering from cancer. The fall from the summit is disastrous and causes the crisis of an empire that seemed glittering and very solid: that of the Ferragnez. In an instant, the 45 million like couple idolized by the press and
follower, no longer exists.
Yet, the signs of an imminent fall were already there. From the overexposure of minors to the compulsive display of privilege, from pandering activism to opaque charity, in her book Selvaggia Lucarelli retraces the recent history of the most discussed media phenomenon in the country.
RF Kuang, Yellowface
What harm can a pseudonym do? Juniper Song wrote a hugely successful book. But maybe he’s not exactly who he wants us to believe he is. June Hayward and Athena Liu, young writers, seem destined for parallel careers: they graduated together, they made their debut together.
When she witnesses Athena’s death in a strange accident, June steals the novel that her friend had just finished writing but which no one knows anything about yet, and decides to publish it as if it were her own, reworked just enough.
A hilariously edgy novel about diversity, racism, privilege and cultural appropriation. And limits that should never be exceeded.
