The Silent Treatment
'A remarkable debut' JOJO MOYES
'It's beautiful, so moving and clever. I truly adored it.' JOSIE SILVER, author of One Day in December
___________________________
A lifetime of love. Six months of silence. One last chance.
Frank hasn't spoken to his wife Maggie for six months.
For weeks they have lived under the same roof, slept in the same bed and eaten at the same table - all without words.
Maggie has plenty of ideas as to why her husband has gone quiet, but it will take another heartbreaking turn of events before Frank finally starts to unravel the secrets that have silenced him.
Is this where their story ends?
Or is it where it begins?
With characters that will capture your heart, THE SILENT TREATMENT celebrates the phenomenal power of love and the importance of leaving nothing unsaid.

Last Night in Twisted River
In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable's girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, forced to run from Coos County - to Boston, to southern Vermont, to Toronto - pursued by the implacable constable. Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them. In a story spanning five decades, Last Night in Twisted River - John Irving's twelfth novel - depicts the recent half-century in the United States as 'a living replica of Coos County, where lethal hatreds were generally permitted to run their course'. From the novel's taut opening sentence - 'The young Canadian, who could not have been more than fifteen, had hesitated too long' - to its elegiac final chapter, Last Night in Twisted River is written with the historical authenticity and emotional authority of The Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany. It is also as violent and disturbing a story as John Irving's breakthrough bestseller, The World According to Garp. What further distinguishes Last Night in Twisted River is the author's unmistakable voice - the inimitable voice of an accomplished storyteller. Near the end of this moving novel, John Irving writes: 'We don't always have a choice how we get to know one another. Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly - as if out of the sky, or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth - the same sudden way we lose people, who once seemed they would always be part of our lives'.

Éj anyánk - Mother Night
"Nagyszerű író. Ez a műve egyszerre hátborzongató, szomorú és ördögien mulatságos." (Financial Times)
"Azok vagyunk, aminek kiadjuk magunkat, így hát vigyáznunk kell, minek adjuk ki magunkat."
Howard W. Campbell, Jr. hírhedett amerikai náci, Hitler propaganda gépezetének fontos beosztású munkatársa. És az USA németországi titkos ügynöke. Rádióműsora a legrosszabb fajta háborús uszítás, népirtásra való buzdítás. És persze nélkülözhetetlen információforrás az amerikai hírszerzés és hadvezetés számára. Így azután Howard W. Campbell, Jr. meg sem próbál eligazodni és dönteni az emberi lét legnagyobb kérdéseiben. Vonnegut vérfagyasztó humora ezúttal a feketénél is sötétebb.
"A jó énem, az igazi énem, a mennyben teremtett énem ott rejtezik a mélyben."

OWC Night and Day
Katherine Hilbery, torn between past and present, is a figure reflecting Woolf's own struggle with history. Both have illustrious literary ancestors: in Katherine's case, her poet grandfather, and in Woolf's, her father Leslie Stephen, writer, philos
opher, and editor. Both desire to break away from the demands of the previous generation without disowning it altogether. Katherine must decide whether or not she loves the iconoclastic Ralph Denham; Woolf seeks a way of experimenting with the novel
for that still allows her to express her affection for the literature of the past. This is the most traditional of Woolf's novels, yet even here we can see her beginning to break free; in this, her second novel, with its strange mixture of comedy and
high seriousness, Woolf had already found her own characteristic voice.
