Ole varovainen. Hyvää tarkoittavan ihmisen tahto voi olla lujempi kuin sinun tahtosi. Liisa muuttaa Helsinkiin kesäksi ja vuokraa huoneen entisen laulajattaren luota. Kesä venyy vuosiksi, vanha diiva kutoo tytön ympärille seitin eikä paluuta entiseen ole.Stella on romaani syttyvistä ja sammuvista tähdistä, lahjakkuuden armosta ja taakasta. Mutta mitä tapahtuu, jos muut päättävät puolestasi?Liisa on sairaanhoitaja, joka kirjoitti nuorena intohimoisesti runoja. Juri lääkäri, josta piti tulla pianisti. Vasta myöhemmin selviää, miksi Liisa myi pianon ja lopetti pojan soittotunnit tältä kysymättä. Sattumalta Juri pääsee säestämään mezzosopraanoa, jolla on ihmeellinen ääni ja tulkintakyky. Intohimo syttyy uudelleen.Kirjailija ja musiikin maisteri Maritta Lintunen tarttuu viidennessä romaanissaan kiehtovasti itselleen läheisiin aiheisiin. Flyygeli ja laulajan keho ovat herkkiä instrumentteja, joita on vaalittava huolella. Mutta vasta lumosta musiikki saa sielun - ja paras kirjallisuus.

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - The second volume of The Passenger series, from The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road - An intimate portrait of grief and longing, as a young woman in a psychiatric facility seeks to understand her own existence. "The richest and strongest work of McCarthy's career...An achievement greater than Blood Meridian...or...The Road." --The Atlantic 1972, BLACK RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN: Alicia Western, twenty years old, with forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag, admits herself to the hospital. A doctoral candidate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, Alicia has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and she does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby. Instead, she contemplates the nature of madness, the human insistence on one common experience of the world; she recalls a childhood where, by the age of seven, her own grandmother feared for her; she surveys the intersection of physics and philosophy; and she introduces her cohorts, her chimeras, the hallucinations that only she can see. All the while, she grieves for Bobby, not quite dead, not quite hers. Told entirely through the transcripts of Alicia's psychiatric sessions, Stella Maris is a searching, rigorous, intellectually challenging coda to The Passenger, a philosophical inquiry that questions our notions of God, truth, and existence.

A concluding addition to The Passenger, the hallucinogenic masterpiece from the legendary author of The Road and Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy.
Cormac McCarthy was such a virtuoso, his language was so rich and new . . . McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute.

"Stella's Very Special Summer" is a heartwarming tale that takes us back to the summer of 1955, when families packed up their cars and headed to the mountains, beaches, and other vacation spots to escape the city. The author has crafted a nostalgic and captivating story that transports readers back to a simpler time and will open the eyes of young readers with delight. Eleven-year-old Stella leaves her small hometown with her mother, brother, a set of four-year-old twins, and their dog to spend the summer in their cabin along the river, just a few hours from New York City. Her father can only join them on weekends due to work. The family's cabin is part of a fish camp, where they rent out small cabins, rowboats and sell bait of various types to supplement the family income. For Stella, this is a summer of emotional losses and growth. She forms a special relationship with a huge white horse and his owner. The challenge to complete a rite of passage by swimming the entire river looms over her. Then a tragic fire affects close family friends and special animals, and the infamous Hurricane Diane of August 1955 devastates the Northeast, including the fish camp, reignites the fear of polio, and nearly drowns Stella's mother. The book's plot includes a Mafia gangster, One-Hand Sid, who roams the mountains after a botched jewelry heist, avoiding police and trying to stay alive. Sid becomes a critical piece of the family's puzzle to keep the cabin. For readers who grew up in the 1950s or earlier, the book is a nostalgic trip down memory lane, evoking memories of summer vacations spent with family and friends. But the book also addresses a critical aspect that young readers who have never experienced life without TVs, iPads and Play Stations will discover. Stella's adventures in the forest and on the river demonstrate the joy of exploring nature and the rewards of being self-sufficient.The story gives a fascinating glimpse into a time when kids had to rely on their imagination and creativity to entertain themselves.
