World Editions Book Mail 💌

This week, I was thrilled to receive a special delivery of book mail—all from the incredible World Editions.

It's always exciting to get my hands on new reads, and these editions are absolutely stunning.

The Cracks We Bear by Catalina Infante Beovic:

This hauntingly beautiful book first caught my attention with its striking cover — bold, delicate, and impossible to ignore. It perfectly mirrors the emotional depth of the story within.

The Cracks We Bear begins with a raw and honest portrayal of new motherhood, capturing the fear, fragility, and overwhelming emotion of Laura as she holds her newborn.

But this is only the beginning. What follows is a powerful exploration of memory, inherited trauma, and identity as Laura reflects on her childhood in post-dictatorship Chile.

Told in lyrical, vignette-style chapters, the book reads like a mosaic of memory — fractured, tender, and deeply personal. Catalina Infante Beovic’s writing is intimate and unflinching, blending political history with emotional truth in a way that lingers long after the final page.

Quietly powerful and beautifully written. The book is available for pre-order and will be published on the 21st October 2025.

All That Dies in April by Mariana Travacio:

Poetic, harrowing, and quietly powerful, All That Dies in April is a haunting tale of survival, separation, and longing.

Set high above the Argentine pampas, the stark and desolate landscape mirrors the emotional terrain of a family fractured by poverty and drought.

Lina’s decision to leave her home in search of her son and a better future sets a slow-burning journey into motion, while her husband Relicario follows with ancestral bones in tow, bound by memory and tradition. Their parallel paths reveal the brutal consequences of displacement and the quiet strength of hope.

Travacio’s prose is spare yet lyrical, each sentence infused with a quiet tension. Despite the bleakness, there is beauty in the writing and resilience in the characters. This is not a story of grand gestures, but of quiet persistence in the face of despair.

A slim yet intense read that lingers long after the final page. The book is available for pre-order and will be published on the 9th September 2025.
