Sweet Sorrow
One life-changing summer
Charlie meets Fran...
In 1997, Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don't remember in the school photograph. His exams have not gone well. At home he is looking after his father, when surely it should be the other way round, and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread.
Then Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope.
But if Charlie wants to be with Fran, he must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling.
The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare.
Poignant, funny, enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow is a tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life, a celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief, searing explosion of first love that can only be looked at directly after it has burned out.
'Such a beautiful book. Captures perfectly a moment in time we've all experienced.' Graham Norton
'He's such a genius. His novels are relatable and recognizable, but also surprising, breath-taking and life-enhancing' Nina Stibbe

Vesmírné výpravy Od prvních krůčků po práh mezihvězdného prostoru
Encyklopedie kosmického věku, která pomocí přehledných ilustrativních textů, časových os, tabulek, technických dat a pozoruhodných fotografií mapuje dobývání vesmíru člověkem, je nepostradatelná pro každého zájemce o vesmír. Seznamuje čtenáře s tím, do jaké míry umělé družice, sondy a kosmické lodi s lidskou posádkou změnily život na Zemi - jakou revoluci přinesly v komunikaci i dalších technických oborech a nakolik ovlivnily náš pohled na vesmír a naše místo v něm. Obsahuje rovněž stručné životopisy osobností a příběhy vědeckých objevů a technických vynálezů - lidí i prostředků, díky nimž jsme překročili práh kosmické éry: od raných průkopníků, jako byli Wernher von Braun, Jurij Gagarin a Alan Shepard, přes úspěchy i nezdary navazujících programů a výpravy ke vzdáleným planetám až po očekávání nových dobrodružství, jež budou lidstvo provázet při pronikání do neznámých končin kosmu.

Red Sparrow
*** SOON TO BE A MAJOR FILM STARRING JENNIFER LAWRENCE ***
A Russian honey trap agent targets a young CIA operative to uncover a senior-ranking mole at the heart of the Russian Intelligence service.
Dominika Egorov, former prima ballerina, is sucked into the heart of Putin's Russia, the country she loved, and spat out as the twists and turns of betrayal and counter-betrayal unravel.
American Nate Nash, idealistic and ambitious, handles the double agent, codenamed MARBLE, considered one of CIA's biggest assets. He needs to keep his identity secret for as long as the mole can keep supplying golden information.
Will Dominika be able to unmask MARBLE, or will the mission see her faith destroyed in the country she has always passionately defended?
'A classic spy thriller ... High-level espionage, pulse-pounding danger, sex, double agents and double crosses. What more can any reader want?' Nelson DeMille
'A great and dangerous spy-game is being played today between Russian intelligence and the CIA. Very few people know about it. But Jason Matthews does, and his thrilling Red Sparrowtakes us deep inside this treacherous world.He knows the secrets. And he is also a masterful story-teller. I loved this book and could not put it down. Neither will you' Vince Flynn

A NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
OVER 18 MILLION COPIES SOLD
WINNER OF THE GLASS KEY AWARD
Jussi Adler-Olsen returns with his most captivating and suspenseful novel yet...
In a Copenhagen park the body of an elderly woman is discovered. Though the case bears a striking resemblance to another unsolved homicide from over a decade ago, the police cannot find any connection between the two victims. Across town a group of young women are being hunted down. The attacks seem random, but could these brutal acts of violence be related? Detective Carl Morck of Department Q is charged with solving the mystery.
Back at headquarters, Carl and his team are under pressure to deliver results: failure to meet his superiors' expectations will mean the end of Department Q. Solving the case, however, is not their only concern. After a breakdown, their colleague Rose is struggling to deal with the ghosts of her past - a past seemingly connected to one of the division's most sinister case-files. It is up to Carl, Assad and Gordon to unearth the dark and violent truth plaguing Rose before it is too late.

Daisy Jones and The Six
THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA Daily Mirror best fiction pick of 2019A Daily Express best book of 2019'I LOVE it . . .
I can't remember the last time I read a book that was so fun' DOLLY ALDERTON
They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not fade away. But on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down. There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to superstardom.
There was Camila, the frontman's wife, too strong-willed to let the band implode - and all too aware of the electric connection between her husband and Daisy. There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman in a world that wasn't ready for her. And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a hedonistic world tour.
They were creative minds striking sparks from each other, ready to go up in flames. It's never just about the music...

ERIN KELLY'DAISY JONES & THE SIX is a transporting novel - at once a love story, a glimpse into the combustible inner workings of a rock-and-roll band, and a pitch-perfect recreation of the music scene of the Fleetwood Mac era.
