Título: Wild Beauty
Autor: Anna-Marie McLemore
Sinopse: “McLemore’s second novel is such a lush surprising fable, you half expect birds to fly out of the pages... McLemore uses the supernatural to remind us that the body’s need to speak its truth is primal and profound, and that the connection between two people is no more anyone’s business than why the dish ran away with the spoon.” -Jeff Giles, New York Times Book Review, on When the Moon was Ours Love grows such strange things.Anna-Marie McLemore's debut novel The Weight of Feathers garnered fabulous reviews and was a finalist for the prestigious YALSA Morris Award, and her second novel, When the Moon was Ours, was longlisted for the 2016 National Book Award for Young People's Literature. Now, in Wild Beauty, McLemore introduces a spellbinding setting and two characters who are drawn together by fate—and pulled apart by reality.For nearly a century, the Nomeolvides women have tended the grounds of La Pradera, the lush estate gardens that enchant guests from around the world. They’ve also hidden a tragic legacy: if they fall in love too deeply, their lovers vanish. But then, after generations of vanishings, a strange boy appears in the gardens.The boy is a mystery to Estrella, the Nomeolvides girl who finds him, and to her family, but he’s even more a mystery to himself; he knows nothing more about who he is or where he came from than his first name. As Estrella tries to help Fel piece together his unknown past, La Pradera leads them to secrets as dangerous as they are magical in this stunning exploration of love, loss, and family.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Feiwel & Friends costumam explorar jornadas pessoais e coletivas marcadas por desafios internos e externos, muitas vezes em contextos de fantasia, aventura e dilemas contemporâneos. A experiência de leitura varia entre narrativas de amadurecimento juvenil, como jovens que enfrentam medos ou descobrem poderes, e relatos mais densos sobre temas sociais e emocionais, como sobrevivência, abuso e identidade. O tom pode oscilar entre o esperançoso e o sombrio, com ritmo que ora acelera em tramas de suspense e ação, ora desacelera para reflexões íntimas. O catálogo traz obras que dialogam tanto com leitores que buscam escapismo fantástico quanto com aqueles interessados em histórias de superação e autodescoberta.
