Dicembre 1545.UnEuropa dilaniata dallo scontro tra cattolici e protestanti trattiene il respiro: a Trento si apre il Concilio destinato a ridisegnare il destino della cristianita. Ma dietro le solenni vesti cardinalizie si agitano ambizioni, rancori e paure.

E qual e il vero scopo della sua missione?Il tempo stringe. Un piano infernale sta per scattare. E il destino dellEuropa potrebbe cambiare per sempre.

A New York Times Book Review Editors PickA riotously sharp novel about self-righteousness, control, and the unexpected afterlife of a dogRose Cutler prides herself on her principlesveganism, feminism, eco-consciousness, and general moral superiority. She runs a yogurt business she quietly despises and lives alone, comfortably distanced from the mess of human relationships. But, when her brother and sister-in-law let her watch her six-year-old nephew Nathan, things go spectacularly wrong. After Roses dog kills a corgi at the park, Nathan begins to bark, overeat, and claim that the dead dog has possessed his body. Rose assumes this is trauma. Nathan insists its metaphysical fact. As Rose embarks on a misguided quest to free Nathan from his canine passenger, what begins as an attempt at childcare devolves into a surreal, anarchic spiral of suburban chaos. Brimming with unhinged charm and moral ambiguity, The Hitch is a biting satire of the stories we tell ourselves to stay saneand the havoc we wreak when those stories fall apart.

Women in the Middle Ages led fascinating and often wildly differing everyday lives, depending on their social class and family situation. Yet their wealth of experience has long been obscured and overshadowed by the experiences of men, with history books often relegating women to a single, catchall chapter, as if their lives formed a unified story.While a number of medieval women have claimed biographers attention, they tend to be the exceptional figures who broke the mould. What, then, of the countless others who were not exceptional and who did not blaze a new trail? How did their family lives and the constraints imposed upon them influence the ways in which they lived, worked, rejoiced, grieved and shaped their world?The Family Lives of Medieval Women turns the spotlight on these women and examines how the concept of family impacted every aspect of their existence, whatever their social class. It draws us into bustling towns and rural villages, into courts and castles, to meet secular women of every standing and learn about their lived experiences. For the first time, the full spectrum of the female familial experience is considered, illuminating the lives of medieval women with the depth, nuance and humanity they have always deserved.
