Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rumi Vasi is 10 years, 2 months, 13 days, 2 hours, 42 minutes, and 6 seconds old. Shes figured that the likelihood of her walking home from school with the boy she likes, John Kemble, is 0.2142, a probability severely reduced by the lacy dress and thick woolen tights her father, and Indian emigre, forces her to wear. Rumi is a gifted child, and her father, Mahesh, believes that strict discipline is the key to nurturing her genius if the family has any hope of making its mark on its adoptive country. Four years later, a teenage Rumi is at the center of an intense campaign by her parents to make her the youngest student ever to attend Oxford University, an effort that requires an unrelenting routine of study. Yet Rumi is growing up like any other normal teen: her mind often drifts to potent distractions . . . from music to love.Rumis parents want nothing other than to give Rumi an exceptional life. As her father outlines ever more regimented study schedules, her mother longs for India and forcefully reminds Rumi of her roots. In the end, the intense expectations of a family with everything to prove will be a combustible ingredient as an intelligent but naive girl is thrust into the adult world before she has time to grow up.In her stunningly eloquent debut novel, Nikita Lalwani pits a parents dream against a childs. Deftly pondering the complexities and consequences that accompany the best intentions, Gifted explores just how far one person will push another, and how much can be endured, in the name of love.Advance praise for GiftedA triumph . . . fluid, original, clever, glitteringly vivid, funny . . . All the conventional pieties and forms of Indian immigrant identity and trauma are so wittily preempted, and yet theres a sure grasp, at the serious core of the novel, of the deep reverberations of politics and history. I couldnt bear it when it ended.

Condition: Muy bueno. L?Alexandr, la Christine, en Zachary i la Lydia han estat amics des que es van conèixer fa trenta anys. Tots dos matrimonis han tingut una vida còmoda i harmònica fins que, un vespre d?estiu, la mort inesperada d?en Zach ho trasbalsa tot: han perdut el més fort i generós dels quatre, la peça clau que mantenia el fràgil equilibri de la seva amistat. La Lydia es trasllada a casa de l?Alex i la Christine per mirar de refer-se, però aquesta gran pèrdua, en comptes d?unir-los més, reobre velles ferides i fa ressorgir pors i rancúnies oblidades. El passat projecta la seva ombra sobre tots ells. Cap al tard és una novel·la que mesura la distància entre el que mostrem al món i les veritats incòmodes que amaguem. Amb una prosa elegant i poderosa, Tessa Hadley reflexiona sobre la fragilitat de l?entramat de vincles que generem al llarg de la vida. Tessa Hadley (Bristol, 1956) es va llicenciar en Filologia Anglesa a la Universitat de Cambridge. Autora de set novel·les i tres llibres de relats, no va publicar la seva primera novel·la fins als quaranta-sis anys i, des de llavors, la seva reputació literària no ha parat de créixer. Entre altres premis, ha estat guardonada amb el Premi Windham Campbell per Clever girl (2013) i The past (2016). Actualment viu a Cardiff i ensenya Literatura i Escriptura Creativa a la Universitat de Bath Spa.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Catalán. Tres germanes i un germà tornen a l?antiga casa dels avis per passar-hi les últimes vacances d?estiu. Hi porten els fills, una nova dona i el fill d?una exparella.
