Love this cover.
Inviting you to enjoy that rarest of pleasures, a good read.
A rare opportunity to see Masha Hamilton, in NYC briefly from Kabul for this event. She’ll discuss craft and the influences behind What Changes Everything, her new novel of Afghanistan and Brooklyn, with Maud Newton, who brings her own experience writing about family, culture and politics to the conversation. Tuesday, June 4 at 7 pm at Community Bookstore.
This May, Unbridled will release Masha Hamilton’s remarkable fifth novel, What Changes Everything, about the impact of the war in Afghanistan on American and Afghan families. More than this, the novel is an extension of Hamilton’s ongoing exploration of the destructive reach that personal distance, misunderstanding, and the plague of violence continuously exert in the structures of our lives.
Many readers will remember that a few years ago Masha Hamilton, known for her good work, founded The Camel Book Drive, to serve remote and impoverished villages in Kenya. And in 2009, she founded the Afghan Women’s Writing Project (AWWP) to give an opportunity to women in Afghanistan to tell their stories to the world. The AWWP continues to offer that opportunity and to honor that work, Unbridled Books will publish the ebook of What Changes Everything on April 25, one month early, and for every ebook of What Changes Everything sold, Unbridled will donate $1 in support of the important work at the AWWP.
“With this brilliant premise, Cuban-born Elizabeth Huergo launches The Death of Fidel Pérez, a provocative debut novel that is simultaneously a requiem for the lives destroyed under both the Batista and Castro regimes and a poetic imagining of what the cusp of a true Cuban liberation might look like.” —Shelf Awareness for Readers
THE WEEKLY READ:
“Several perfectly pitched Southern narratives weave together to form a strong song of love, loss, and human resilience. A gripping, intense read.” - Jodi Picoult, author of SING YOU HOME and HOUSE RULES
Love the whimsy.
Favorite First Lines:
“I used to think about quitting all the time. Then I quit, and now I still think about it.”
