Описание:
Delightfully quirky and willing to go where few other novels dare, The Swift Seasons takes readers deep into the lives of octogenarians in a retirement community as they learn to live with themselves and each other.
At the heart of the story is Willa Warsaw, a childless and recent widow in her eighties who spends her days poring over the writing of Oliver Wendell Holmes and daydreaming. Naturally shy and a bit reclusive, Willa finds herself unaccountably drawn to the newest member of the community-former opera singer Eric Ravelle.
Eric and Willa connect over their shared voice disorders, finding comfort in each other. But as their relationship deepens over the passing days, so do their health issues, bringing up very real concerns about their future together.
Full of memorable characters, sharp insights into aging, and the wisdom of Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Swift Seasons is a treasured gift, a celebration of living long enough to grow old, and a meditation on things that endure or change as we age.

Описание: "The author deftly keeps all the furballs in the air. Incorporating elements of myth and religion, history and modern science, Kruger's action-packed thriller is a smart examination of teenaged alienation and rebellion, with fully fleshed out characters and just enough kitsch to appeal to a wide variety of readers." - Quill & QuireWhen his DNA unlocked a cure for werewolves, Connor Lewis never imagined that would be the least of his concerns.Now he's caught between two sides: born werewolves who want to preserve their way of life and bitten humans who want to save others from suffering their same fate.In the midst of a high stakes trial, werewolf hunters come calling, forcing Connor to make the decision of his life and figure out on which side of history he wants to stand.
