Book excerpt: Birds Without Wings traces the fortunes of one small community in southwest Turkey (Anatolia) in the early part of the last century—a quirky community in which Christian and Muslim lives and traditions have co-existed peacefully over the centuries and where friendship, even love, has transcended religious differences. But with the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and the onset of the Great War, the sweep of history has a cataclysmic effect on this peaceful place: The great love of Philothei, a Christian girl of legendary beauty, and Ibrahim, a Muslim shepherd who courts her from near infancy, culminates in tragedy and madness; Two inseparable childhood friends who grow up playing in the hills above the town suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the bloody struggle; and Rustem Bey, a wealthy landlord, who has an enchanting mistress who is not what she seems. Far away from these small lives, a man of destiny who will come to be known as Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is emerging to create a country from the ruins of an empire. Victory at Gallipoli fails to save the Ottomans from ultimate defeat and, as a new conflict arises, Muslims and Christians struggle to survive, let alone understand, their part in the great tragedy that will reshape the whole region forever.

Book excerpt: Honorable Mention in the 2019 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature Longlist! "After the 2010 Haiti earthquake kills her parents, a woman returns to Haiti after leaving it as a child, 25 years ago. A powerful and engrossing story, this read cannot be missed." --Bustle, 35 Most Anticipated Fiction Books of 2018 "In this fascinating novel about Haitian life, Ulysse beautifully braids together the struggle for personal redemption with the struggle for dignity and human rights." --Rain Taxi Review of Books "Ulysse gives readers a riveting story of a woman who is trying to make sense of a homescape that, if not wholly disappeared, is irrevocably altered." --BuzzFeed "With lush descriptions and Creole-inflected dialogue, Katia D. Ulysse frankly and deftly writes about the nuances and class differences in Haiti. Mouths Don't Speak explores how trauma touches us at home and abroad, wherever those places may be. This includes the experiences of the underserved kids Jacqueline teaches, American veterans, the earthquake victims, and children and their parents. Ulysse illustrates the complicated but unbreakable connections we have to family and home, and shows how privilege doesn't necessarily keep you from tragedy." --Shelf Awareness "A captivating portrait of a woman plagued with worry about family and homeland, this beautifully written novel recalls Toni Morrison's Paradise." --Library Journal "Powerful...As Ulysse explores grief, she moves beyond her protagonist to consider the murky motivations and emotions of other characters. This is a harrowing, thoughtful dive into the aftermath of national and personal tragedies filtered through diasporic life." --Publishers Weekly "Ulysse punctuates...descriptions of the lush Florestant plantation with insightful observations about strained family dynamics. The ties that bind can also constrict us." --Booklist "In Drifting, Ulysse's 2014 story collection, Haitian immigrants struggle through New York City after the 2010 earthquake that destroyed much of their county. In her debut novel, Ulysse revisits that disaster with a clearer and sharper focus. Jacqueline Florestant is mourning her parents, presumed dead after the earthquake, while her ex-Marine husband cares for their young daughter. But the expected losses aren't the most serious, and a trip to freshly-wounded Haiti exposes the way tragedy follows class lines as well as family ones." --The Millions "Within minutes of starting Katia D. Ulysse's novel--with settings in contemporary Haiti and America, and characters caught in the aftermath of Haiti's earthquake of 2010--the reader is drawn deep into an intricate tale of family and relationships across cultures...[Main character] Jacqueline Florestant's route is no easy one, but her story puts an individual face on the generalized social stigmas of Haiti." --Island Origins Magazine, included in Summer Reading Roundup No one was prepared for the massive earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010, taking over a quarter-million lives, and leaving millions of others homeless. Three thousand miles away, Jacqueline Florestant mourns the presumed death of her parents, while her husband, a former US Marine and combat veteran, cares for their three-year-old daughter as he fights his own battles with acute PTSD. Horrified and guilt-ridden, Jacqueline returns to Haiti in search of the proverbial "closure." Unfortunately, the Haiti she left as a child twenty-five years earlier has disappeared. Her quest turns into a tornado of deception, desperation, and more death. So Jacqueline holds tightly to her daughter--the only one who must not die.

Book excerpt: Harold lives on Illissos, a far away world where most of the time it is never really day, and never really night. In this place it is twilight, and hard to really see things clearly. In this twilight, a dangerous creature called Bavianer can attack. Sometimes they attack in swarms so big that all must flee to safety behind the city walls. Normally these sieges are small and easily defeated by horsemen in the brief hours of daylight, but this siege is different and Harold is needed to get help. Harold must travel through the twilight to get help, and the journey is not easy. Along the way Harold comes of age and his mission allows him to explore the nature of conflict, different religious philosophies, and human courage. Carl Robinson has done something new and important. Moon of Twilight is young adult fiction written from a race-realist perspective. While this story takes place in a darkened off-world, its dramatic situations evoke the twilight conflicts of race, religion -- and even sexuality -- in the here and now. Forget about werewolves and wizards; when you put this book down you will see our world in a whole new light. -- James OMeara, author of The Eldritch Evola . . . & Others: Traditionalist Meditations on Literature, Art, & Culture

Download or read book Of Ravens and Shadows written by Abigail S. Jean-Louis and published by Abigail S. Jean-Louis. This book was released on with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When she was five years old, Avigayil bat Abiyah went outside her home to find her father laying on the ground the night of Passover, dagger buried into his back. Beside her stood her weeping mother, Chavivah, holding her three-year-old brother in her arms. She knew exactly who did it. It was none other than Menahem, leader of the deadliest group of assassins in the land, and her father’s own cousin. For the safety of her family, Chavivah took her two children and escaped the city under the cover of night, vowing to never return under the shadow of violence and betrayal that had killed her husband. Eleven years later, and Avi is now a thief. She is part of a faction of Robin-hood like thieves and spies named the Orev (or Ravens), a group named after birds, an omen of foreboding. High in the ranks with personal ties to their leader, she is a legend, a girl thriving in a world of men. But her reasons for this lifestyle aren’t what most expect. Her goals are simple: provide for her family and find the man who killed her father to return the favor. But the world she lives in isn’t as simple as a girl wanting to get revenge. Judea is a haven of corruption, violence, and rebellion bubbling beneath the surface. With all of this happening, the Jews are ready to revolt, and when a fire in Rome raises the taxes in Judea, it is only a matter of time. Avi, being in one of the most influential organizations at the time, is forced to take her place with her people in a war bound to happen. This forces her to make a choice between the loyalty to her people, or the revenge she has wanted for so long. She is sure she can manage both. And in the midst of all this, a familiar face with green eyes comes back into the picture, a boy turned man carrying shadows of the past she wants to forget. He wants nothing more than to help her on her quest, but there is one issue. He, Dahveed, is an assassin, a member of a group named the Sicarii, the very group run by the man who killed her father. The first time they met was the day of her father’s murder, and now, over a decade later, they find themselves on opposite sides of a bloody rivalry. As he tries to grow closer to her and gain her trust, he soon faces shadows of his own, being both Greek and Jew in a land where the two do not get along. The loyalties of both are tested. And when the inevitable war does indeed break out in their beloved homeland, some problems no longer become a priority, shadowed by even more loss, pain, betrayal, and death. The leader of the Orev is murdered before Avi’s own eyes, and with his sudden death, she is pushed to the forefront as the new leader of the faction, now no longer able to hide from Menahem and the others wanting the end of the thieves. And when the war does break out, Avi finds her chance, exacting the revenge she’s wanted for so long. But this comes at the cost of the lives she’s vowed to protect, the lives of so many she cared for, leaving Avi to fend and defend her war-torn homeland. A homeland bound to lose.
