Fireweather
A continuation of the acclaimed novel Thunderhead, Fireweather follows Winona Dalloway as she struggles to come to terms with the unrecognizable world around her.
Life for Winona Dalloway is not as it should be. Her husband is no longer her husband, her children are not at home with her, and the city in which she lives is besieged by fires. Black ash falls like snow, songbirds screech like dinosaurs, and the doctors are calling her mad …
In this looking-glass world, Winona is forced to prove she is a sane, rational human being. As the pronouncements of the professionals grow more insistent, so too do the voices crowding inside Winona's head. She seeks solace in the company of plants and animals, and begins to imagine an entirely other way of being—one that might make whole her broken heart.
Self-Worth
True love or easy money—which would you choose?
Fresh out of grad school with her masters in philosophy, Anna is shocked when a career counselor tells her she has “no special skills.” Desperate for work and financial independence, she accepts a thankless gig working for a TV talk show. She might be making minimum wage, but at least she has her beloved boyfriend Lulu, the love of her life, to come home to at night.
But one day Lulu runs to the bathroom and starts throwing up cash—thousands of euros in just a few days—hurtling the twentysomething couple into unforeseen wealth. Having spent their lives proudly rejecting consumer society, they suddenly find themselves rich, and Anna is loving every minute of it: she gets a designer bag, they vacation in Tahiti, they throw wild parties in their new luxury apartment.
As Anna grows accustomed to living large, Lulu’s health suffers, and she wonders: What would be worse, losing him or losing the money?
In Self-Worth French debut novelist Emma Tholozan delivers a raw, brutally funny portrait of a generation without ideals.
The Endling
A feminist utopia crumbles with one impossible birth.
On an isolated mountaintop, a small feminist community is fracturing under the weight of ideological divides and dwindling numbers. Mila struggles to hold the women together, while deeper in the bush her aunt Frank—an ailing recluse—lives with only her dog, Chicken Midnight, for company. Nearby, an orchid endling approaches its own death, and the extinction of its entire species.
As Frank grows increasingly unwell and secretive about her condition, the community women begin mysteriously falling pregnant. When Mila gives birth to the only boy, their hardline separatist ideals face an impossible test.
Vividly expressed, wildly funny, and wholly original, The Endling examines the volatile intersection of community and politics, exploring what happens when the borders we construct between species, between sexes, between self and world prove more porous than we imagine.
How We Relate

With warmth and practical insight, Guha explores the hidden patterns that govern our interactions, offering concrete strategies for breaking free from destructive cycles.
Whether you’re struggling with difficult family members, navigating workplace politics, or seeking deeper intimacy in love, this book provides the psychological tools to understand yourself and transform your relationships. How We Relate is your guide to building the meaningful connections you deserve.
