Az Anna-bál szerelmesei
Egy füredi domboldalon álló kúriában neveli félárva kislányát, Ilkát Györöky Kálmán, a különc földbirtokos. Ilka, akire az édesapja életvitele miatt a helybéliek kissé ferde szemmel néznek, ennek ellenére őszinte barátságot köt a dúsgazdag Szentgyörgyi-Horváthék egyetlen lányával, Krisztinával. A két fiatal lánynak, akik a reformkor mozgalmas, pezsgő légkörében nőnek fel, egy varázslatos füredi nyáron dől el a sorsa. Vajon megtalálhatják-e a boldogságot választottjuk oldalán?
Fábián Janka könyve azonban nemcsak két szerelmes fiatal lány, hanem a Balaton és Balatonfüred-fürdő regénye is. A tó dicsérete, a végtelennek tűnő víztüköré, a kéklő pirkadatoké és aranyló alkonyoké. Az olvasó találkozhat a XIX. század első évtizedeinek hírességeivel, a Füreden megforduló illusztris vendégekkel is: József nádorral és a családjával, Deák Ferenccel, Vörösmarty Mihállyal, Kisfaludy Sándorral, Wesselényi Miklóssal és másokkal is. A reformkor, amit Füred aranykorának mondanak, azonban nem volt egy szakadatlan diadalmenet: természeti katasztrófák, járvány és tűzvészek is sújtották a települést, amelyekből azonban minden alkalommal újjászületett, még szebben és elegánsabban, akár egy főnixmadár.
A regény arra is választ keres, vajon valójában mikor is lehetett az a bizonyos legendás első Anna-bál...

Anetchen, dívka ze Sudet
Srpen 1937
Malá Anetchen právě slaví své šesté narozeniny a připravuje se na nástup do první třídy české menšinové školy v Sudetech. O rok později se však všechno mění, Sudety připadají Německu a Anetchen musí přestoupit do školy německé, kde jako poloviční Češka zažívá nelehké chvíle. Její dospívání i první láska jsou čím dál víc poznamenávány nelítostnou dobou – nejprve odchodem českých a židovských kamarádek, po válce naopak odsunem německých přátel a příbuzných a všeobecnou nenávistí vůči Němcům. Čím je Anetchen starší, tím víc vnímá paradox svého světa – nejprve nebyla dost Němka, teď není dost Češka.

On Isabella Street
Instant Bestseller From #1 bestselling author Genevieve Graham comes a gripping novel set in Toronto and Vietnam during the turbulent sixties about two women caught up in powerful social movements and the tragedy that will bring them together—perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah’s The Women.Toronto, 1967. Two young women with different backgrounds, attitudes, and aptitudes are living in an exciting but confusing time, the most extreme counter-culture movement the modern world has ever seen. They have little in common except for the place they both call home: an apartment building on Isabella Street. Marion Hart, a psychiatrist working in Toronto’s foremost mental institution, is fighting deinstitutionalization—the closing of major institutions in favour of community-based centres—because she believes it could one day cause major homelessness. When Daniel Neumann, a veteran with a debilitating wound, is admitted to the mental institution, Marion will learn through him that there is so much more to life than what she is living. Sassy Rankin, a budding folk singer and carefree hippy from a privileged family, joins protests over the Vietnam War and is devastated that her brother chose to join the US Marines. At the same time, she must deal with the truth that her comfortable life is financed by her father, a real estate magnate bent on gentrifying the city, making it unaffordable for many of her friends. The strength of their unlikely friendship means that when one grapples with a catastrophic event, the other must do all she can to make it right. Inspired by the unfettered optimism and crushing disillusionment of the sixties, On Isabella Street is an extraordinary novel about the enduring bonds of friendship and family and the devastating cost of war.
