00:00Summer books that are a little different from the usual ones to read under the umbrella or quietly on the sofa with your
00:05'air conditioning because it's too hot.
00:07I Never Learn About Lane Fargo, a thriller set in an American college where the protagonist leads a double life.
00:12By day she is a respected university professor and by night she makes men pay for their s**t.
00:18and the bullshit on women.
00:19Perfect if you want a story with a plot twist that will keep you glued until the end, complex female characters, themes
00:25current, it is an engaging and decidedly provocative read.
00:28Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid, is a coming-of-age novel that speaks of the search for identity between rebellion and desire.
00:34of independence and self-discovery.
00:36Perfect if you want a story that tells of the transition to adulthood, therefore growing up and changing, and that addresses the
00:41complex family relationships, especially that between mother and daughter.
00:45Faces of the Shadow, a man loses his sight after an accident and his life changes completely.
00:50It's a really anxious book and it plays a lot with psychology because this man becomes extremely paranoid and we are
00:56constantly in his thoughts not knowing if what is happening around him is real or just the result of his
01:02imagination.
01:02If you are already tired of this heat and want a slightly autumnal bookish atmosphere, then I recommend the Bibliotecara
01:08of New York.
01:08Inspired by the true story of the woman who built one of the most important book collections in the United States, working for the
01:14tycoon JP Morgan and at the same time keeping a big personal secret.
01:18It has beautiful vibes, especially if you like books that talk about other books, if you want to immerse yourself in atmospheres
01:24Let's say old bookcases with dusty old manuscripts, this is perfect.
01:29Finally, Francesca Giannone's postman.
01:31Set in the lonely 1930s, a woman becomes the town's first postman.
01:35It's an emotional family saga about love, emancipation, change, with an independent and somewhat eccentric protagonist.
01:42outside the box for that time, challenging social conventions and prejudices.
