Confronted with the fact that maybe her daughter was not entirely at peace with her appearance, she suddenly had to grapple not only with motherhood but also how to talk to her kid about race and identity.\r\nIn M(other)land, Joi writes powerfully about how her personal and cultural identity intersect with motherhood - and how they inform her identity as a (British-Indian) parent and step-parent. The book is her powerful, witty response to the absence of an inclusive, accessible blueprint for navigating life as a multi-faceted mother. By sharing her own story, she writes into this silence and provides a voice of understanding for all those who fall outside of dominant presentations of 'parenthood' and have never seen themselves or their experiences represented.\r\nM(other)land is a crucial book for anyone trying to navigate the complexities of race and motherhood, who has ever felt 'other', who has struggled to reconcile their past or cultural upbringing with how they raise the next generation. Joi passes on hard-won knowledge that has taken years to learn: the complexity of your identity is just who you are - it's okay to be both, neither, or multiple things at once - instead of fighting it, feeling 'neither' is a strength and a state of mind that you can revel in.\r\n___________\r\n'A beautifully written memoir and a thought-provoking critical intervention into race and motherhood - we can all learn something from this brilliant must-read book' Julia Samuel, leading British psychotherapist and bestselling author","authors":["Priya Joi"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/324\/9780241574324_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/324\/9780241574324_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/324\/9780241574324_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"16,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"13 juin 2024","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Priya Joi \u2014 Penguin Life","translator":null,"weight":182,"page_count":256,"readership":null,"editor":"Penguin Life","price":1640,"published_date":"2024-06-12T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780241574324\/motherland-a-memoir-on-race-identity-and-belonging"},{"id":"9780349147505","title":"Memorial Days : a New York Times bestseller","description":"A heartrending and beautiful memoir of sudden loss and a journey to peace, from the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of  Horse.\r\nMany cultural and religious traditions expect those who are grieving to step away from the world. In contemporary life, we are more often met with red tape and to-do lists. This is exactly what happened to Geraldine Brooks when her partner of more than three decades, Tony Horwitz - just sixty years old and, to her knowledge, vigorous and healthy - collapsed and died on a Washington, D. C. sidewalk.\r\nAfter spending their early years together in conflict zones as foreign correspondents, Geraldine and Tony settled down to raise two boys on Martha's Vineyard. The life they built was one of meaningful work, good humor, and tenderness, as they spent their days writing and their evenings cooking family dinners or watching the sun set with friends at Lambert's Cove. But all of this came to an abrupt end when, on Memorial Day 2019, Geraldine received the phone call we all dread. The demands were immediate and many. Without space to grieve, the sudden loss became a yawning gulf.\r\nThree years later, she booked a flight to a remote island off the coast of Australia with the intention of finally giving herself the time to mourn. In a shack on a pristine, rugged coast she often went days without seeing another person. There, she pondered the various ways in which cultures grieve and what rituals of her own might help to rebuild a life around the void of Tony's death.\r\nA spare and profoundly moving memoir that joins the classics of the genre, Memorial Days is a portrait of a larger-than-life man and a timeless love between souls that exquisitely captures the joy, agony, and mystery of life.","authors":["Geraldine Brooks"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/505\/9780349147505_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/505\/9780349147505_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/505\/9780349147505_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"21,40 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"4 f\u00e9vrier 2025","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Geraldine Brooks \u2014 Abacus","translator":null,"weight":220,"page_count":224,"readership":null,"editor":"Abacus","price":2140,"published_date":"2025-02-03T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780349147505\/memorial-days-a-new-york-times-bestseller"},{"id":"9780241184448","title":"Anne (Penguin Monarchs) : Last Queen of England","description":null,"authors":["Richard Hewlings"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/448\/9780241184448_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/448\/9780241184448_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/448\/9780241184448_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":false,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"18,80 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"27 janvier 2028","publisher_availability_label":"\u00c0 para\u00eetre","short_details":"Richard Hewlings \u2014 Allen Lane","translator":null,"weight":500,"page_count":112,"readership":null,"editor":"Allen Lane","price":1880,"published_date":"2028-01-26T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Poche","publisher_availability":2,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780241184448\/anne-penguin-monarchs-last-queen-of-england"},{"id":"9780349703664","title":"No Place Like Home : 'A universal message ...

Yet his mission was to awaken Americans to the formation of a new \"American\" race that would supersede the \"old\" racial categories. Award-winning biographer George Hutchinson reveals how Toomer's racial theory shaped both his literary genius and his personal struggles.\r\n \u00a0\r\n Born into the Black elite in Washington, D.C.,\u00a0Toomer was highly sensitive to the color line and able to move across it. Toomer engaged in a lifelong struggle to be released from this system, reinventing himself racially, spiritually, and artistically not as a Black man but as a \"superman.\" From his early attraction to physical culture through his search for Cosmic Consciousness, Toomer aspired to shape a new modern sensibility alongside his bohemian contemporaries Georgia O'Keeffe, Alfred Stieglitz, Langston Hughes, and Nella Larsen. Yet his refusal to identify as Black, in tandem with his messianic calling, came at the cost of his literary career and the women who loved him.\r\n \u00a0\r\n Hutchinson shows how the tortures of American racism shaped Toomer's life-and how the struggle to birth a new \"American\" identity marks his art.","authors":["George Hutchinson"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png","medium":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png","thumbnail":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png"},"orderable":false,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"33,80 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"10 novembre 2026","publisher_availability_label":"\u00c0 para\u00eetre","short_details":"George Hutchinson \u2014 Yale University Press Ltd","translator":null,"weight":0,"page_count":344,"readership":null,"editor":"Yale University Press Ltd","price":3380,"published_date":"2026-11-09T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":2,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780300267730\/jean-toomer-writer-for-a-new-america"},{"id":"9780358094234","title":"THE BEST AMERICAN TRAVEL WRITING 2019","description":null,"authors":["Alexandra Fuller","Jason Wilson"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000","1060100"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png","medium":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png","thumbnail":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"17,90 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"1er octobre 2019","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Alexandra Fuller, Jason Wilson \u2014 Mariner Books","translator":null,"weight":340,"page_count":378,"readership":null,"editor":"Mariner Books","price":1790,"published_date":"2019-09-30T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780358094234\/the-best-american-travel-writing-2019"},{"id":"9780307272225","title":"Dearie - the remarkable life of julia child","description":"The best-selling author of  The Beatles  draws on the iconic culinary figure's personal diaries and letters to present a 100th-birthday commemoration that explores her private life to offer insight into her role in shaping women's views and influencing American approaches to cooking. 100,000 first printing.\r","authors":["Bob Spitz"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000","1060100"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png","medium":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png","thumbnail":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/img\/book-placeholder.png"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"28,10 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"2 ao\u00fbt 2012","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Bob Spitz \u2014 Alfred Knopf","translator":null,"weight":986,"page_count":432,"readership":null,"editor":"Alfred Knopf","price":2810,"published_date":"2012-08-01T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780307272225\/dearie-the-remarkable-life-of-julia-child"},{"id":"9780307273604","title":"Daily Rituals : How Artists Work","description":"Franz Kafka, frustrated with his living quarters and day job, wrote in a letter to Felice Bauer in 1912, time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible then one must try to wriggle through by subtle maneuvers.     Kafka is one of 161 inspired--and inspiring--minds, among them, novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, who describe how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks. Thomas Wolfe wrote standing up in the kitchen, the top of the refrigerator as his desk, dreamily fondling his male configurations. . . Jean-Paul Sartre chewed on Corydrane tablets (a mix of amphetamine and aspirin), ingesting ten times the recommended dose each day . . . Descartes liked to linger in bed, his mind wandering in sleep through woods, gardens, and enchanted palaces where he experienced every pleasure imaginable.   Here are: Anthony Trollope, who demanded of himself that each morning he write three thousand words (250 words every fifteen minutes for three hours) before going off to his job at the postal service, which he kept for thirty-three years during the writing of more than two dozen books . . . Karl Marx . . . Woody Allen . . . Agatha Christie . . . George Balanchine, who did most of his work while ironing . . . Leo Tolstoy . . . Charles Dickens . . . Pablo Picasso . . . George Gershwin, who, said his brother Ira, worked for twelve hours a day from late morning to midnight, composing at the piano in pajamas, bathrobe, and slippers . . .   Here also are the daily rituals of Charles Darwin, Andy Warhol, John Updike, Twyla Tharp, Benjamin Franklin, William Faulkner, Jane Austen, Anne Rice, and Igor Stravinsky (he was never able to compose unless he was sure no one could hear him and, when blocked, stood on his head to clear the brain).","authors":["Mason Currey"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/604\/9780307273604_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/604\/9780307273604_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/604\/9780307273604_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"24,80 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"23 avril 2013","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Mason Currey \u2014 Knopf","translator":null,"weight":395,"page_count":304,"readership":null,"editor":"Knopf","price":2480,"published_date":"2013-04-22T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780307273604\/daily-rituals-how-artists-work"},{"id":"9780307279354","title":"NEAR DEATH IN THE MOUNTAINS - TRUE STORIES OF DISASTER AND SURVIVAL","description":"A compilation of real-life adventure stories of survival in extreme conditions presents tales of narrow escapes from death in the mountains.\r","authors":["Cecil Kuhne"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000","1060100"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/354\/9780307279354_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/354\/9780307279354_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/354\/9780307279354_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"18,90 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"9 juillet 2008","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Cecil Kuhne \u2014 Vintage Usa","translator":null,"weight":364,"page_count":496,"readership":null,"editor":"Vintage Usa","price":1890,"published_date":"2008-07-08T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780307279354\/near-death-in-the-mountains-true-stories-of-disaster-and-survival"},{"id":"9780359715435","title":"Lettres \u00e0 M","description":"En 1958, au temps de leurs fr\u00e9quentations, Marcelle et Gerry ont tous deux 25 ans.

He was our nation's bard, simple and sincere, accompanying us on wooded roads and articulating our hopes and fears. After Frost's death, these cliches gave way to equally broad (though opposed) portraits sketched by his biographers, chief among them Lawrance Thompson. When the critic Helen Vendler reviewed Thompson's biography, she asked whether anyone could avoid the conclusion that Frost was a \"monster.\"\r\nIn Love and Need: The Life of Robert Frost's Poetry, Adam Plunkett blends biography and criticism to find the truth of Frost's life - one that lies between the two poles of perception. Plunkett reveals a new Frost through a careful look at the poems and people he knew best, showing how the stories of his most important relationships, heretofore partly told, mirror dominant themes of Frost's enduring poetry: withholding and disclosure, privacy and intimacy. Not least of these relationships is the fraught, intense friendship between Frost and Thompson, the major biographer whose record of Frost Plunkett seeks to set straight.\r\nMoving through Frost's most important work and closest relationships with the attention to detail necessary to see familiar things anew, Plunkett offers an original interpretation of Frost's poetry, tracing Frost's distinctive achievement to an engagement with poetic tradition far deeper and more extensive than he ever let on. Frost invited his readers into a conversation like the one he sustained with his literary forebears, intimate and profound, yet Frost kept his private self at a remove. Here, Plunkett brings the two together - the poet and the poetry - and draws us back into conversation with America's poet.","authors":["Adam Plunkett"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/080\/9780374282080_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/080\/9780374282080_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/080\/9780374282080_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"34,30 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"17 mars 2025","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Adam Plunkett \u2014 Farrar Straus And Giroux","translator":null,"weight":711,"page_count":512,"readership":null,"editor":"Farrar Straus And Giroux","price":3430,"published_date":"2025-03-16T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780374282080\/love-and-need-the-life-of-robert-frosts-poetry"},{"id":"9780374982324","title":"THE WILD OATS PROJECT - ONE WOMAN'S MIDLIFE QUEST FOR PASSION AT ANY COST","description":"What if for just one year you let desire call the shots?  The project was simple: Robin Rinaldi, a successful magazine journalist, would move into a San Francisco apartment, join a dating site, and get laid. Never mind that she already owned a beautiful flat a few blocks away, that she was forty-four, or that she was married to a man she'd been in love with for eighteen years. What followed-a year of abandon, heartbreak, and unexpected revelation-is the topic of this riveting memoir,  The Wild Oats Project .  Monogamous and sexually cautious her entire adult life, Rinaldi never planned on an open marriage-her priority as she approached midlife was to start a family. But when her husband insisted on a vasectomy, something snapped.  If I'm not going to have children , she told herself,  then I'm going to have lovers . During the week, she would live alone, seduce men (and women), attend erotic workshops, and have wall-banging sex. On the weekends, she would go home and be a wife. Her marriage provided safety and love, but she also needed passion, and she was willing to go outside her marriage to find it.  At a time when the bestseller lists are topped by books about eroticism and the shifting roles of women, this brave, brutally honest memoir explores how our sexuality defines us, how it relates to maternal longing, and how we must walk the line between loving others and staying true to ourselves. Like the most searing memoirs,  The Wild Oats Project  challenges our sensibilities, yielding truths that we all can recognize but that few would dare write down.\r","authors":["Robin Rinaldi"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000","1060100"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/324\/9780374982324_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/324\/9780374982324_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/324\/9780374982324_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"17,90 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"17 mars 2015","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Robin Rinaldi \u2014 St Martin'S Press","translator":null,"weight":320,"page_count":304,"readership":null,"editor":"St Martin'S Press","price":1790,"published_date":"2015-03-16T23:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780374982324\/the-wild-oats-project-one-womans-midlife-quest-for-passion-at-any-cost"},{"id":"9780307474797","title":"Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1948","description":"Opening in July 1914, as Mohandas Gandhi leaves South Africa to return to India, Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1918 traces the Mahatmas life over the three decades preceding his assassination. Drawing on new archival materials, acclaimed historian Ramachandra Guha follows Gandhis struggle to deliver India from British rule, to forge harmonious relations between Indias Hindus and Muslims, to end the pernicious practice of untouchability, and to nurture Indias economic and moral self-reliance. He shows how in each of these campaigns, Gandhi adapted methods of nonviolence that successfully challenged British authority and would influence revolutionary movements throughout the world. A revelatory look at the complexity of Gandhis thinking and motives, the book is a luminous portrait of not only the man himself, but also those closest to him--family, friends, and political and social leaders.","authors":["Ramachandra Guha"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/797\/9780307474797_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/797\/9780307474797_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/797\/9780307474797_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"22,00 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"22 octobre 2019","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Ramachandra Guha \u2014 Vintage Usa","translator":null,"weight":1026,"page_count":1120,"readership":null,"editor":"Vintage Usa","price":2200,"published_date":"2019-10-21T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780307474797\/gandhi-the-years-that-changed-the-world-1914-1948"}]}
