2019 INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD Distinguished Favorite and 2019 New York City BIG BOOK AWARD Distinguished Favorite: : it's poetry, essays, and short narratives - New York has a local color. It's the people and diners, subways and buses, libraries and streets. From the psychics who advertise on the trains, to the tourists who selfie their way around the New York Public Library on 42nd Street, everyone contributes to the local color. Born examines the colorful canvas that the City presents every day. Free street theater, something to think about, something to savor. Pick up a Greek diner cup of coffee, peel back the lid, and sit for a read. New York City, told in blazing local color.

I was fourteen and a half when the Germans came. On that 9th April we woke to the roar of aeroplanes swooping so low over the roofs of the town that we could see the black iron crosses painted on the underside of their wings when we leaned out of the windows and looked up. In this exquisite novel, readers will find the crystalline prose and depth of feeling they adored in Out Stealing Horses, a literary sensation of 2007. A brother and sister are forced ever more closely together after the suicide of their grandfather. Their parents' neglect leaves them wandering the streets of their small Danish village. The sister dreams of escaping to Siberia, but it seems increasingly distant as she helplessly watches her brother become more and more involved in resisting the Nazis.
