Little Women: The Sisterhood
Including an introduction from writer and feminist activist Scarlett Curtis, curator of Sunday Times Bestseller Feminists Don't Wear Pink.
Meet the March Sisters:
* Meg is the eldest and on the brink of love.
* Then there's tomboy Jo who longs to be a writer.
* Sweet-natured Beth always puts others first
* Finally there's Amy, the youngest and most precocious.
Even though money is short, times are tough and their father is away at war, their infectious sense of fun sweeps everyone up in their adventures - including Laurie, the boy next door.
And through sisterly squabbles and tragic losses, the sisters discover that growing up is sometimes very hard to do.
The Sisterhood collection celebrates the best-loved classics, written by some of the best female authors in history for International Women's Day. Read the rest of the collection:

Reclaim the Street
A vibrant survey of the trends and talents across the globe fuelling street photography today and a fresh take of what street photography is and can be. A world tour of the very best street photography today, Reclaim the Street showcases work by more than 100 contemporary photographers, from the established to the emerging, from all corners of the globe: here is work by Indian practitioner Swarat Ghosh, Thai photographer Jutharat Pinyodoonyachet (aka Poupay), and the Brazilian photographer Gustavo Minas. Truly diverse in scope, it pays long overdue attention to flourishing scenes throughout the world, interweaving thirty-four photographer portfolios, in-depth case studies, and surveys of the geographical hotspots where communities of street photographers are thriving today.
Great photographic minds don't think alike, nor are two streets identical: follow these photographers as they capture snapshots of people and places perpetually in flux. The global, and ultimately optimistic and humanistic edge of Reclaim the Street will deepen its readers' love of photography, as well as leave them inspired by the places and people captured through today's sharpest lenses.

In the city of Ebou Dar, Elayne, Aviendha and Mat struggle to secure the ter'angreal that can break the Dark One's hold on the world's weather - and an ancient bane moves to oppose them. In the town of Salidar, Egwene al'Vere gathers an army to reclaim Tar Valon and reunite the Aes Sedai . . .
And in Shadar Logoth, city of darkness, a terrible power awakens . . .

The Portrait of a Lady
One of the great heroines of American literature, Isabel Archer, journeys to Europe in order to, as Henry James writes in his 1908 Preface, “affront her destiny.” James began The Portrait of a Lady without a plot or subject, only the slim but provocative notion of a young woman taking control of her fate. The result is a richly imagined study of an American heiress who turns away her suitors in an effort to first establish—and then protect—her independence. But Isabel’s pursuit of spiritual freedom collapses when she meets the captivating Gilbert Osmond. “James’s formidable powers of observation, his stance as a kind of bachelor recorder of human doings in which he is not involved,” writes Hortense Calisher, “make him a first-class documentarian, joining him to that great body of storytellers who amass what formal history cannot.”

The Global Merchants
The Sassoons were one of the great business dynasties of the nineteenth century, as eminent as traders as the Rothschilds were bankers.
This book reveals the secrets behind the family's phenomenal success: how a handful of Jewish exiles from Ottoman Baghdad forged a mercantile juggernaut from their new home in colonial Bombay, the vast network of agents, informants and politicians they built, and the way they came to bridge East and West, culturally as well as commercially. Through the lives these ambitious figures built for themselves, the reader is drawn into a captivating world of politics and power, innovation and intrigue, high society and empire.
The Global Merchants is thus at once a portrait of a single family and a panorama of the hundred and thirty years of their prominence: from the Opium Wars to the American Civil War, the establishment of the British Raj to India's independence. Together these give a fresh perspective on one of the defining forces of their age and the present: globalization. The Sassoons were variously its agents, advocates and casualties, and watching them moving through the world, we perceive the making of our own.
Posledné, čo v živote urobila
Do mestečka na brehu oregonskej rieky Deschutes sa húfne sťahujú mladí ľudia, ktorí majú úspešnú kariéru a dokonalú rodinu. Liz a jej manžel Owen, vychádzajúca hviezda vo svete podnikania, celé roky obdivujú svojich dobrých priateľov a susedov Carole a Davida. Zdá sa im, že majú všetko – bezstarostný, šťastný život a krásneho synčeka Charlieho.
Potom Charlie bez stopy zmizne a úporne nadobudnutými istotami otrasie tragédia, ktorú nikto nechápe. Okrem Liz.
Stačila sekunda a všetko sa zmenilo. Liz spôsobila nehodu, ktorej následky už nemôže vziať späť. Znásobila ju druhou najhoršou chybou svojho života: zatajila ju. Zatiaľ čo manželstvá oboch dvojíc praskajú pod ťarchou žiaľu a strachu, Liz sa utiahne do svojho vlastného tmavého sveta viny, rastúcej paranoje a klamstiev, o ktorých ani netušila, že ich je schopná. Na scéne sa totiž objaví ďalší sused, ktorý takisto má svoje tajomstvá, trápenia a dobrý dôvod, aby sledoval každý Lizin pohyb. Iba on vie, že príbeh záhadného zmiznutia chlapca pri rieke Deschutes sa ešte zďaleka neskončil.

Veci, ktoré tajíme pred svetom
Veselého a usmievavého Nasha Morgana vždy považovali za toho lepšieho z bratov Morganovcov. Teraz sa ale tento náčelník polície zotavuje zo strelných rán a jeho južanský šarm zatienili návaly úzkosti a nočné mory, vďaka ktorým sa cíti ako úbohá schránka muža, ktorým kedysi býval. Nash sa so svojím utrpením nechystá nikomu zdôveriť. Jeho novej susede, inteligentnej a príťažlivej Line, však mračná nad jeho hlavou neunikli. Zvyčajne nemá rada, keď sa jej ľudia bez dovolenia dotýkajú, no pri Nashovi to z nejakého dôvodu neplatí. A všimol si to aj on. Ich vzájomná fyzická príťažlivosť je spaľujúca, jeho uzemňuje a ju núti premýšľať, či sa pre ten pocit oplatí riskovať.
Škoda, že aj Lina má svoje tajomstvá a ak Nash zistí, prečo v skutočnosti prišla do mesta, určite jej to neodpustí. Okrem toho sa nikdy nevrhá do dlhodobých vzťahov. Nikdy. Vášnivý románik s miestnym policajtom? Jednoznačne. Kedykoľvek. Vzťah s mužom, ktorý od nej očakáva, že zapustí korene? Tak to ani náhodou. Hneď ako získa to, po čo sem prišla, neostane tu ani o minútu dlhšie. No Knockemout vie, ako sa človeku dostať pod kožu. A keď sa Nash rozhodne, že Lina bude jeho, nič ho nepresvedčí o opaku... dokonca ani nebezpečenstvo, ktoré ho predtým takmer zabilo.
