Story
Kivousavé, on n'en parle qu'à mots couverts, à l'heure du thé. Kivousavé, c'est la mère de la narratrice, disparue quand elle avait deux ans. Depuis, l'enfant vit entre son père, trop faible, et sa grand-mère, qu'elle déteste. À 12 ans, elle découvre que sa mère n'est pas morte comme on le lui avait fait croire. Que cachent ces mensonges ? Pourquoi sa mère est-elle partie ? Qu'est-elle devenue ? La narratrice est sûre d'une chose : elle va la retrouver.

Story
The Flattery sisters were plunged prematurely into adulthood when their parents died in tragic circumstances. Now in their thirties – all single, all with PhDs – they are each attempting to do meaningful work in a rapidly foundering world. The four lead disparate, distanced lives, from classrooms in Connecticut to ritzy catering gigs in London’s Notting Hill, until one day their oldest sister, a geologist haunted by a terrible awareness of the earth’s future, abruptly vanishes from her work and home.

Story
Thomas Hart and Grace Macaulay have lived all their lives in the small Essex town of Aldleigh. Though separated in age by three decades, the pair are kindred spirits - torn between their commitment to religion and their desire for more. But their friendship is threatened by the arrival of romantic love. Thomas falls for James Bower, who runs the local museum. Together they develop an obsession with the vanished nineteenth-century astronomer said to haunt a nearby manor, and whose identity might finally be revealed when a startling discovery is made.

Story
Eva ist Anfang vierzig, als sie einen Anruf von dem Mann erhält, der in ihrer Kindheit eine Zeitlang die Rolle des Vaters einnahm, bevor er scheinbar für immer verschwand. Er liegt im Sterben und möchte Eva noch einmal sehen. Sie reist mit dem Zug von Südtirol quer durch Italien in den äußersten Süden. In ihrer Vorstellung entfaltet sich ihre ganze Kindheit in Südtirol: Sie wuchs im Schatten der politischen Verwerfungen einer Region auf, die drei Jahrzehnte lang der Spielball bedrohlicher Allianzen war und dann endlich den Aufbruch in die Autonomie wagte.
