Madame Bovary (Signature Editions)


Gustave Flaubert's classic novel of a bored French housewife who goes to great lengths to escape the staleness of provincial life, freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Editions line. Beautiful and bored, housewife Emma Bovary is trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. A passionate reader of romance novels, she seeks to escape her existence through spending lavishly on clothing and embarking on multiple affairs. But even something as seemingly exciting as committing adultery only brings her disappointment and devastating consequences for her husband and daughter. Flaubert's erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: "Madame Bovary, c'est moi."

But when she’s forced to go through her mother’s things one afternoon, Cath is perplexed to find tickets for an upcoming “murder week” in England’s Peak District: a whole town has come together to stage a fake murder mystery to attract tourism to their quaint hamlet. Baffled but helplessly intrigued by her mother’s secret purchase, Cath decides to go on the trip herself—and begins a journey she never could have anticipated.

Amidst a fling—or something more—with the handsome local maker of artisanal gin, Cath and her irresistible charming fellow sleuths will find this week of fake murder may help them face up to a very real crossroads in their own lives. “Full of intrigue and adventure, charm and heart” (Amy Poeppel, author of The Sweet Spot), Welcome to Murder Week is a fresh, inventive twist on the murder mystery and a touching portrayal of one daughter’s reckoning with grief, her past—and her own budding sense of adventure.

Buried Secrets


In March 2017, Tina Satchwell vanished from her home in Youghal, County Cork. For six and a half years, her disappearance remained one of Ireland’s most haunting mysteries. Her husband Richard Satchwell claimed she had left with two suitcases and €26,000 in cash. Gardaí searched the house and found nothing. Journalists interviewed Richard, including one who sat unknowingly just feet from Tina’s hidden grave …This extraordinary book is the definitive account of the murder of Tina Satchwell, told by the journalist who helped expose the truth. It is a story of coercive control, deception and the quiet horror of a woman buried face down beneath her own stairs. Through exclusive interviews, Barry Cummins traces the long road to justice with forensic detail and remarkable insight – from the initial search and media appeals to the cold-case breakthrough that finally revealed Tina’s fate. Part true crime investigation, part personal reckoning, this is a powerful portrait of a woman whose voice was silenced, and of the systems that failed to hear her. It is also a tribute to the persistence of those who refused to let her be forgotten.

The Future Is Peace


Palestinian Aziz Abu Sarah and Israeli Maoz Inon are unlikely peacemakers, dedicated to finding a solution to the bitter war that has decimated historical, ancient land and ended family lines. Despite the losses they have suffered, the resolve of their friendship has taught them that strength and unity are more powerful than the violence of separation.

Their answer is always the same. One cannot find hope. We must create it. In The Future Is Peace, Sarah and Inon take readers on their unforgettable weeklong journey across the holy land. They explore each other's personal and national histories in a land of competing narratives, amid the turbulent push and pull of near constant war, and the recent devastation that has rocked the world.

Pairing unapologetic candour and inspirational prose, Sarah and Inon are sending a message to humanity that the people have the power to make change. Peace is achievable, not just between the river and the sea, but throughout the world.

Temné tajomstvá panstva Loxby


Obľúbená americká autorka Abigail Wilson vám prináša ďalší zo svojich regentských románov s mysterióznou zápletkou. Začítajte sa do pútavého príbehu o temných tajomstvách a druhých šanciach, odohrávajúceho sa v anglickom Kente na začiatku devätnásteho storočia. Po piatich rokoch strávených v zahraničí sa Charity Halliwellová vracia na panstvo Loxby, do domu svojich dobrých priateľov. Z bezstarostného dievčaťa sa stala mladou ženou, ktorú prenasleduje bolestné tajomstvo a stratené sny. Dúfa, že na Loxby nájde miesto na uzdravenie a šťastie, no namiesto toho sa stretáva s temnotou, ktorá číha za múrmi i v tieňoch kedysi prívetivého panstva. Jej priateľka Seline zmizne práve v noc jej príchodu a Charity je odhodlaná odhaliť pravdu. Jedinou nádejou sa pre ňu stáva muž, ktorý jej pred rokmi zlomil srdce: Piers Cavanaugh, ktorého označili za zbabelca, lebo sa nedostavil na súboj, ktorý sám navrhol, žil posledných päť rokov ako vyvrheľ ďaleko od rodinného sídla. Aby našiel svoju sestru, rozhodne sa spojiť sily so ženou, o ktorej si myslel, že ju už nikdy neuvidí. Spoločne sa pustia do pátrania, ktoré ich dovedie k podivným nočným stretnutiam v ruinách starého opátstva a znepokojivým chýrom o tajnom spoločenstve. Čím viac sa toho dozvedajú, tým je situácia zúfalejšia. Zdá sa, že panstvo aj jeho okolie sú odhodlané udržať si svoje tajomstvá. Zatiaľ čo sa Charity a Piers pokúšajú objasniť Selinino záhadné zmiznutie, usilujú sa vzkriesiť aj svoje priateľstvo. Na to, aby našli šťastie, by mali prekonať smútok aj pochybnosti, ktoré ich rozdeľujú. Najskôr však musia zistiť, prečo Seline zmizla, a čeliť rastúcemu strachu, že sa možno už nikdy nevráti... Z anglického originálu Vanishing at Loxby Manor (Thomas Nelson, a registered trademark of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc., Nashville, Tennessee 2021) preložila Miriam Ghaniová.
