Camille DeAngelis β’ 2022
Maren Yearly è una giovane donna che desidera ciò che desiderano tutti: vorrebbe essere ammirata e rispettata. Vorrebbe essere amata. Ma Maren ha anche delle esigenze particolari e segrete, che l'hanno costretta a una specie di esilio dal genere umano. Si odia per quella cosa brutta che fa, e per ciò che la cosa brutta ha fatto alla sua famiglia e al suo senso di identità , per come la cosa brutta determina il suo posto nel mondo e il modo in cui le persone la vedono e la giudicano. In fondo, non ha scelto lei di essere così. Perché Maren Yearly non si limita a spezzare cuori: li divora. Letteralmente. L'amore può avere molte forme diverse, ma per Maren finisce sempre nello stesso modo: lei che nasconde le prove e sua madre che carica i bagagli in auto. Ma quando, il giorno dopo il suo sedicesimo compleanno, la madre l'abbandona, Maren decide di andare in cerca del padre che non ha mai conosciuto. E finirà per scoprire molto più di quanto si aspettasse: perché, oltre a suo padre, sta cercando se stessa.

Little Book of Dior (Little Books of Fashion, 5)
Karen Homer β’ 2020
Little Book of Dior is the beautifully illustrated story of Christian Dior's early life, the brand's inception, the triumphs of the couture collections on the catwalk and the red carpet, and the brand's journey after the death of its founder. Christian Dior's spectacular rise to the upper echelons of the Parisian haute couture scene is one of the most compelling stories of twentieth-century fashion. An art gallerist with a contemporary vision, Dior's debut haute couture collection invented the 'new look' silhouette and revolutionized the way women dressed, shopped and saw themselves. The House of Dior's unique look blended the traditional, artisanal skills of the French fashion house - tailoring and intricate embellishment - with a modern sensibility. Dior was only helmed by its founder for a decade, but has flourished under the creative direction of some of the most storied names in fashion. In the present day, Maria Grazia Chiuri steers the brand as it stays true to its identity of opulence, femininity, drama and the creation of what Christian Dior called 'the complete look', from garments to perfume and shoes. An exquisitely curated selection of illustrations accompanied by fashion writer Karen Homer's authoritative text presents the journey of a brand known today as the last word in opulence, drama and femininity.

Louisa May Alcott β’ 2021
"Little Women was originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. It follows the lives of the four March sisters--Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy-- from childhood to womanhood and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters. Although Little Women was a novel for girls, it differed notably from the current writings for children, especially girls. The book was an immediate commercial and critical success and has since been adapted for cinema, TV, Broadway and even the opera." -- Amazon.com.
