I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck. I am pressed so hard against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I am still able to lift my feet to walk.Former pianist Nastya Kashnikov wants two things: to get through high school without anyone learning about her past and to make the boy who killed her pay.All 17 year-old Josh Bennett wants is to build furniture and be left alone and everyone allows it because it's easier to pretend he doesn't exist. When your name is synonymous with death, everyone tends to give you your space. Everyone except Nastya Kashnikov, a hot mess of a girl who starts showing up and won't go away until she's insinuated herself into every aspect of his life. The more he gets to know her, the more of a mystery she becomes. As the unanswered questions begin to pile up, he starts to wonder if he may ever learn the secrets she's been hiding or if he even wants to.The Sea of Tranquility is a slow-building, character-driven story about a lonely boy, an emotionally fragile girl, and the miracle of second chances.

The Sea of Tranquility

Former piano prodigy Nastya Kashnikov only wants two things: finish high school without anyone finding out about her past and making the boy who took everything from her pay for what he did. Josh Bennett's story is no secret. All he wants to be is left alone. Everyone seems to understand this except Nastya. Reluctant at first, Josh begins to let her in. As their relationship intensifies, she becomes more of an enigma to him. As he tries to discover who she is, he must decide if he truly wants to know the answer. This profound novel is all about second chances.

El Mar de la Tranquilidad

Dans mon nouveau lycée, personne ne sait qui je suis et tout le monde me fuit. Sauf Josh Bennett. Il est toujours seul, comme moi. Un jour, il me parle. Et ma vie change. Encore une fois.

The Atria Summer 2013 Beach-Read Bag

Osamělý kluk. Citově křehká holka. A zázračná síla druhých šancí. Dva a půl roku. Tolik času uplynulo od té hrozné tragédie. Po ní už nic nebylo jako dřív. I z Nastyi Kashnikové zbyl jen stín holky, kterou byla před tím. Teď je rozhodnuta nechat temnou minulost za sebou a držet si všechny lidi pěkně daleko od těla. Tenhle úmysl jí ale vydrží jen do chvíle, kdy se potká s Joshem Bennettem. Je osamělý stejně jako ona. A neuvěřitelně přitažlivý. Joshův příběh zná kdekdo: všichni lidé, které miloval, zmizeli z jeho života. Teď má sedmnáct roků a zůstal úplně sám. A když je vaše jméno synonymem pro smrt, lidi se s vámi moc nebaví. Až na Nastyu. Ta se naopak Joshe drží jako klíště a postupně se stává součástí každé stránky jeho života. Táhne je to k sobě, jiskří to mezi nimi stále silněji. Ale zároveň se Josh začíná zamýšlet nad tím, jestli se někdy dozví všechna tajemství, která před ním Nastya skrývá. A vlastně ani sám neví, jestli se je dozvědět chce.

Le sue dita non possono più correre sul pianoforte, il suo mondo pieno di note è diventato muto. Nastya era una promessa della musica, prima. Prima che tutto precipitasse, prima che la vita perdesse ogni significato. Da 452 giorni Nastya ha smesso di parlare, e il suo unico desiderio è tenere nascosto il motivo del suo silenzio. La storia di Josh non è un segreto: ha perso tragicamente i suoi cari, e solo nel recinto impenetrabile che ha costruito intorno a sé si sente al riparo dalla compassione degli altri e libero di dedicarsi in solitudine all'unica cosa che lo tiene in vita: intagliare il legno. Quando sembra non esserci più luce né speranza, Nastya e Josh si trovano e le sensazioni sopite esplodono dal corpo e dal cuore. Due lontananze si incontrano, cercando l'una nell'altra la forza per superare il passato e rinascere davvero.

Il tuo meraviglioso silenzio
