＜p＞＜strong＞In Depression-era Boston, a city divided by privilege and poverty, two unlikely friends are bound by a dangerous secret in this mesmerizing novel by the ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestselling author of ＜em＞The Perfume Collector.＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Maeve Fanning is a first generation Irish immigrant, born and raised among the poor, industrious Italian families of Boston’s North End by her widowed mother. Clever, capable, and as headstrong as her red hair suggests, she’s determined to better herself despite the overwhelming hardships of the Great Depression.＜/p＞ ＜p＞However, Maeve also has a dangerous fondness for strange men and bootleg ginーa rebellious appetite that soon finds her spiraling downward, leading a double life. When the strain proves too much, Maeve becomes an unwilling patient in a psychiatric hospital, where she strikes up a friendship with an enigmatic young woman, who, like Maeve, is unable or unwilling to control her un-lady-like desire for freedom.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Once out, Maeve faces starting over again. Armed with a bottle of bleach and a few white lies, she lands a job at an eccentric antiques shop catering to Boston’s wealthiest and most peculiar collectors. Run by an elusive English archeologist, the shop is a haven of the obscure and incredible, providing rare artifacts as well as unique access to the world of America’s social elite. While delivering a purchase to the wealthy Van der Laar family, Maeve is introduced to beautiful socialite Diana Van der Laarーonly to discover she’s the young woman from the hospital.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Reunited with the charming but increasingly unstable Diana and pursued by her attractive brother James, Mae becomes more and more entwined with the Van der Laar familyーa connection that pulls her into a world of moral ambiguity and deceit, and ultimately betrayal. Bewitched by their wealth and desperate to leave her past behind, Maeve is forced to unearth her true values and discover how far she’ll to go to reinvent herself.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Unwashed【電子書籍】[ Daniel Maluka ]

＜p＞＜em＞Unwashed＜/em＞ is a deeply personal collection of poetry, centering on themes of growing up, loss of innocence, love, the immigrant experience, and alienation. The title of the collection is a reference to the urgency of the work. These are not romantic or quiet poems; they are loud and in-your-face. They speak directly to the collective anxieties of urban life and reflect the author’s experience as an immigrant in Canada and a family man in the diverse setting of Toronto. What we are given here is a tapestry of intense, image-rich poetry.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“＜em＞Unwashed＜/em＞ gives readers the pure delight that people on Toronto’s oral poetry scene have been enjoying for a while: the beautiful, profound poetry of Daniel Maluka sings and speaks from these pages with the voice of the poet in person. There is lightness and sadness, unflinching awareness and equal resilience in these poems that combine contemplative stillness and the momentum of story and song. I think of beautiful poems like ‘Field Notes on the Hermit’ or ‘The Dream’, where ‘Two silent riders arrive at the ruined tower’ In ＜em＞Unwashed＜/em＞, Maluka enters deep into the contemporary self while at the same time living fully, beautifully, often sadly in our world of tv dinners, John Lennon dreams, midnight regrets, assistant managers, cats waiting for a handout, social injustice, and the haunting presence of a father ‘aware he sent his son into a world that hates him.’ ”＜br /＞ ーA F Moritz＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Daniel Maluka’s ＜em＞Unwashed＜/em＞ is the unvarnished truth about the experience of feeling unwanted, unloved, and unfree in the midst of Canada’s largest city. Maluka turns his eyes forensically on the lives of his family, friends, lovers, and neighbours, and on the conundrum that is Canadian Multiculturalismーso welcoming, so liberatingーyet frustrated so insidiously by White Supremacism. These poems are scarily poignant . . . they are for all the ‘unwashed’ーnot to bleach or brainwashーbut to clear away the threat of whitewash with the promise of baptismal rebirth. Welcome, now, Daniel Maluka!”＜br /＞ ーGeorge Elliott Clarke, author of ＜em＞Canticles III (MMXXIII)＜/em＞, and Parliamentary Poet Laureate of Canada (2016 & 17)＜/p＞ ＜p＞“＜em＞Unwashed＜/em＞ articulates a coming into awareness of the junk enchantments animating identity and social belonging in Canada today. Daniel Maluka’s voice lays down a story of betweennessーwhere one’s sources of family and meaning conflict bodily and psychically with the foundational myth of home. A bid for tenderness permits hope in this first book of poetry.”＜br /＞ ーDale Martin Smith, Toronto Metropolitan University professor and author of ＜em＞The Size of Paradise＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Daniel Maluka’s ＜em＞Unwashed＜/em＞ stirred parts of my soul I didn’t know could be reached. The emotions are so vividly captured, it feels like he’s written a piece of my own heart.”＜br /＞ ーCarlos Anthony, author of ＜em＞Shades of Black＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Daniel Maluka is a keen and talented observer of the changing social fabric.

Maluka’s art of the ‘ordinary’ reverses the terms of that dynamic.
