Call Me By Your Name
Author: André Aciman
‘Call Me by Your Name’ is the story of a sudden romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents’ cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. The two are unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, when, during the weeks that follow their passion intensifies, testing the charged ground between them. Recklessly, the two verge toward the one thing both fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.
Sisters

In ‘Sisters’, Lily Tuck gives a different portrait of marital life, exposing the intricacies and scandals of a new marriage sprung from betrayal. Tuck’s unnamed narrator lives with her new husband, his two teenagers, and the presence of his first wife, known only as ‘she’. Will the narrator ever equal ‘she’ intellectually, or ever forget the betrayal that lies between them? And what of the secrets between her husband and ‘she’, from which the narrator is excluded?
