The Postcard Hardcover by Anne Berest...
January, 2003. Together with the usual holiday cards, an anonymous postcard is delivered to the Berest family home. On the front, a photo of the Opéra Garnier in Paris. On the back, the names of Anne Berest’s maternal great-grandparents, Ephraïm and Emma, and their children, Noémie and Jacques—all killed at Auschwitz.
Fifteen years after the postcard is delivered, Anne, the heroine of this novel, is moved to discover who sent it and why.
Aided by her chain-smoking mother, family members, friends, associates, a private detective, a graphologist, and many others, she embarks on a journey to discover the fate of the Rabinovitch family: their flight from Russia following the revolution, their journey to Latvia, Palestine, and Paris. What emerges is a moving saga that shatters long-held certainties about Anne’s family, her country, and herself.

Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dost...
Dostoevsky’s most revolutionary novel, Notes from Underground marks the dividing line between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, and between the visions of self each century embodied.
One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence. In complete retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory narrative that serves as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an assertion of man’s essentially irrational nature.
Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, whose Dostoevsky translations have become the standard, give us a brilliantly faithful edition of this classic novel, conveying all the tragedy and tormented comedy of the original.

Drug Paradise by Kariuki Kimuyu

The Windmill Dance by NEVILLE OTUKI
The other day, a Kenyan parent poured out her frustration on social media after her eight-year-old daughter, ever so curious, put her on the spot. Turns out the girl, presumably like many others, has lately been hearing a lot about climate change stories in which wind power was a recurring motif.
Glancing up at her mother, bright-eyed, the girl expectantly waited for a response to her question: "What’s up with wind power?"
She frantically searched her mind. Nothing! After a minute or so, the young girl gave up and might have blown a raspberry, disappointed. Perhaps embarrassed on her mother’s behalf.
The Windmill Dance, penned through the eyes of a high school student Paul and his friends Manu and Pele, creatively brings to light the topic of energy, particularly offering readers a front-row seat to wind and solar power.
It also reveals the links between energy generation and the environment, and the negative impacts of climate change. The world is currently staring down the barrel of a climate crisis with cases of floods and drought on the rise, explaining why climate change news is all the rage lately.
All is not lost, though. Wind and solar power, considered to be green energy sources, are part of the solution, promising mankind a way out of the looming danger.
This is a book for the young and old alike because one way or another, the climate reality will catch up with us all. Oh, for the mother above, and other parents like her, the story would be different had she had this book in her hands and those of her young ones.
The book also celebrates innovation among the young, demonstrated through a National Junior Innovation Contest in which Paul and his friends participate. They build a windmill prototype which makes them shine at the contest, earning them a tour of a mega windmill farm and an audience with the President!

The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
High in the Himalayas sits a dilapidated mansion, home to three people, each dreaming of another time.
The judge, broken by a world too messy for justice, is haunted by his past. His orphan granddaughter has fallen in love with her handsome tutor, despite their different backgrounds and ideals. The cook's heart is with his son, who is working in a New York restaurant, mingling with an underclass from all over the globe as he seeks somewhere to call home.
Around the house swirl the forces of revolution and change. Civil unrest is making itself felt, stirring up inner conflicts as powerful as those dividing the community, pitting the past against the present, nationalism against love, a small place against the troubles of a big world.
