The World That We Knew
Элис Хоффман 5.0
At the time when the world changed, Hanni Kohn knows she must send her twelve-year-old daughter away to save her from the Nazi regime. Her desperation leads her to Ettie, the daughter of a rabbi whose years spent eavesdropping on her father enables her to create a mystical Jewish creature, a rare and unusual golem, who is sworn to protect Hanni’s daughter, Lea. Once Ava is brought to life, she and Lea and Ettie become eternally entwined, their paths fated to cross, their fortunes linked.

What does it mean to lose your mother? How much can one person sacrifice for love? In a world where evil can be found at every turn, we meet remarkable characters that take us on a stunning journey of loss and resistance, the fantastical and the mortal, in a place where all roads lead past the Angel of Death and love is never-ending.

The Beekeeper of Aleppo
Кристи Лефтери 4.0

Второе место.

For readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Kite Runner and The Other Hand - a testament to the human powers of survival.

In the midst of war, he found love
In the midst of darkness, he found courage
In the midst of tragedy, he found hope

What will you find from his story?

Nuri is a beekeeper; his wife, Afra, an artist. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo - until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is destroyed by war, they are forced to escape. But what Afra has seen is so terrible she has gone blind, and so they must embark on a perilous journey through Turkey and Greece towards an uncertain future in Britain. On the way, Nuri is sustained by the knowledge that waiting for them is Mustafa, his cousin and business partner, who has started an apiary and is teaching fellow refugees in Yorkshire to keep bees.

As Nuri and Afra travel through a broken world, they must confront not only the pain of their own unspeakable loss, but dangers that would overwhelm the bravest of souls. Above all - and perhaps this is the hardest thing they face - they must journey to find each other again.

Moving, powerful, compassionate and beautifully written, The Beekeeper of Aleppo is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. Told with deceptive simplicity, it is the kind of book that reminds us of the power of storytelling.

Sadness Is a White Bird
Мориэль Ротман-Зехер 0.0
In this lyrical and searing debut novel written by a rising literary star and MacDowell Fellow, a young man is preparing to serve in the Israeli army while also trying to reconcile his close relationship to two Palestinian siblings with his deeply ingrained loyalties to family and country.

The story begins in an Israeli military jail, where — four days after his nineteenth birthday — Jonathan stares up at the fluorescent lights of his cell, and recalls the series of events that led him there.

Two years earlier: Moving back to Israel after several years in Pennsylvania, Jonathan is ready to fight to preserve and defend the Jewish state, which his grandfather — a Salonican Jew whose community was wiped out by the Nazis — helped establish. But he is also conflicted about the possibility of having to monitor the occupied Palestinian territories, a concern that grows deeper and more urgent when he meets Nimreen and Laith — the twin daughter and son of his mother’s friend.

From that winter morning on, the three become inseparable: wandering the streets on weekends, piling onto buses toward new discoveries, laughing uncontrollably. They share joints on the beach, trading snippets of poems, intimate secrets, family histories, resentments, and dreams. But with his draft date rapidly approaching, Jonathan wrestles with the question of what it means to be proud of your heritage and loyal to your people, while also feeling love for those outside of your own tribal family. And then that fateful day arrives, the one that lands Jonathan in prison and changes his relationship with the twins forever.

Powerful, important, and timely, Sadness Is a White Bird explores one man’s attempts to find a place for himself, discovering in the process a beautiful, against-the-odds love that flickers like a candle in the darkness of a never-ending conflict.

Знай мое имя. Правдивая история
Шанель Миллер 4.5
Она была известна миру как Эмили Доу, когда ошеломила миллионы людей своим «Заявлением жертвы». Брока Тернера, изнасиловавшего ее в кампусе Стэнфорда, приговорили к шести месяцам тюремного заключения. Открытое письмо Шанель было опубликовано на BuzzFeed, где оно сразу стало вирусным — за четыре дня его прочитали одиннадцать миллионов человек, оно было переведено на множество языков и зачитано в Конгрессе; это привело к изменениям в калифорнийском законодательстве и отзыву судьи, который вел дело Шанель. Glamour признал Эмили Доу женщиной года за то, что она «изменила ход дискуссии насчет сексуальных преступлений». Тысячи женщин сказали, что благодаря ей нашли в себе смелость впервые рассказать о насилии, которое пережили сами.

Теперь она открывает лицо, чтобы поведать свою историю о травме, преодолении и силе слова. Дело Шанель казалось очень простым — были и свидетели, и вещественные доказательства, обвиняемый сбежал. Но история ее борьбы с изоляцией и стыдом во время следствия и суда показывает, с чем сталкиваются жертвы изнасилования даже в самых «удачных» случаях. Книга Шанель — обвинение системе, которая предпочитает защищать преступников и терзать пострадавших, и вместе с тем — яркий образец отваги, которая позволяет преодолеть любые испытания и вернуться к полноценной жизни.

«Знай мое имя» навсегда изменит наш взгляд на сексуальное насилие и представления о том, что приемлемо, а что нет. Это правдивый рассказ о тяжелом пути исцеления. И кроме того, это знакомство с новой выдающейся писательницей, чьи слова уже изменили наш мир. Эти мемуары, сочетающие в себе боль, стойкость и юмор, должны стать современной классикой.

Признана лучшей книгой 2019 года по версиям New York Times Book Review, Washington Post, Npr, People, Parade, Time, Glamour, Chicago Tribune, Marie Claire, Elle, Fortune, Library Journal, Kirkus, Daily Mail, Baltimore Sun, She Reads, Man Repeller, Bookriot.

Победитель премии Национального круга книжных критиков 2019 года в номинации «Автобиография».

Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do
Дженнифер Л. Эберхардт 0.0

Второе место.

From one of the world's leading experts on unconscious racial bias, a personal examination of one of the central controversies and culturally powerful issues of our time, and its influence on contemporary race relations and criminal justice.

We do not have to be racist to be biased. With a perspective that is scientific, investigative, and personal, Jennifer L. Eberhardt offers a reasoned look into the effects of implicit racial bias, ranging from the subtle to the dramatic. Racial bias can lead to disparities in education, employment, housing, and the criminal justice system--and then those very disparities further reinforce the problem. In Biased, Eberhardt reveals how even when we are not aware of bias and genuinely wish to treat all people equally, ingrained stereotypes infect our visual perception, attention, memory, and behavior.

Eberhardt's extensive work as a consultant to law enforcement, as well as a researcher with unprecedented access to data, including footage from police officers' body-worn cameras, informs every aspect of her book and makes it much more than a work of social psychology. Her research occurs not just in the laboratory but in police departments, courtrooms, prisons, boardrooms, and on the street. Interviews are interwoven with memories and stories from Eberhardt's own life and family. She offers practical suggestions for reform, and takes the reader behind the scenes to police departments implementing her suggestions.

Refusing to shy away from the tragic consequences of prejudice, Eberhardt addresses how racial bias is not the fault of, or restricted to, a few "bad apples" in police departments or other institutions. We can see evidence of bias at all levels of society in media, education, and business practices. In Biased, Eberhardt reminds us that racial bias is a human problem--one all people can play a role in solving.
