Den här veckan är temat för tisdagstrion: Böcker av tre utomnordiska författare
Fler trios finns hos SkrivRobert på Mina skrivna ord som håller i Tisdagstrion.
- Dagar utan hunger – Delphine de Vigan (Frankrike)
Laure är 19 år, hon är anorektiker. När hon blir inlagd i sjukdomens slutstadium börjar hon efter hand förstå hur det kunde gå så långt. Dagar utan hunger återger tre månaders sjukhusvistelse, tre månader för att blåsa nytt liv i en utmattad kropp, tre månader för att kapitulera, för att bli frisk. Laures tillfrisknande är också berättelsen om hennes möte med den läkare som tar hand om henne, kanske den ende som kan ta till sig hennes smärta, den del av hennes barndom som hon inte kan frigöra sig ifrån. - The Missing American -Kwei Quartey (Ghana/USA)
When Gordon Tilson falls victim to an online scam, he finds himself alone in the whirlwind city of Accra. But his decision to confront those responsible leads him into unimaginable danger. Now his son Derek has lost all contact with him and has no choice but to travel into the heart of Ghana to begin a near impossible search for his father. Frustrated by the inadequate local police, Derek turns to Emma Djan, a young private detective desperate to prove her worth. In a heart-stopping race against time, they must expose those at the very centre of Accra’s power who are willing to kill to protect their secrets, if they are to find the missing American - The Poet X – Elizabeth Acevedo (USA)
Xiomara has always kept her words to herself. When it comes to standing her ground in her Harlem neighbourhood, she lets her fists and her fierceness do the talking.
But X has secrets – her feelings for a boy in her bio class, and the notebook full of poems that she keeps under her bed. And a slam poetry club that will pull those secrets into the spotlight.
Because in spite of a world that might not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to stay silent.
