Mirrorstage


Following their discharge from hospital, Mirrorstage follows its narrator on a road trip through the grey, liminal landscapes of modern Britain. As they pass graffitied bus shelters, construction sites and flooded motorways, factories and high-rises, the narrator’s internal and external journeys begin to converge, leading them down paths they have been trying to avoid: the mental illness and substance use that led them to the inpatient ward, the uneasy balance of their own gender identity, their troubled relationship with their estranged father, the perils and pleasures of the queer scene, and the shame that has haunted them throughout their life. Woven around the psychoanalytic concept of its title, Mirrorstage is an experimental fable exploring the boundaries of selfhood and literary forms, told in fragments of prose and verse that are equal parts heartbreaking, sexy, and witty.

The Stolen Heart


Samson Kolechko has been assigned a most perplexing case - though it is mostly perplexing because it's hard to understand why selling the meat of one's own pig constitutes a crime. But apparently it does, and at the insistence of the Chekist secret police officer assigned to "reinforce" the Lybid police station, Samson does his diligent - if diffident - best. Yet no sooner has he got started than his live-in fiancée Nadezhda is abducted by striking railway workers who object to the census she's carrying out. And when you factor in a mysterious thief in the police station itself, a deadly tram accident that may have been pre-meditated, and the potential reappearance of the culprit in the case of the silver bone, it's no wonder the "meat case" takes a back seat. But it is in the pursuit of that petty-fogging, seemingly mundane matter that Samson's fate lies - and Nadezhda's too, for the two are inextricably entwined. Translated from the Russian by Boris DraylukReviews for The Silver Bone - Longlisted for the International Booker Prize"Andrey Kurkov is often called Ukraine's greatest living writer, and it is a gift for crime fiction fans that he writes in this genre" New York Times"Wildly enjoyable . . . A glorious aural portrait of a city in dangerous flux . . . I finished The Silver Bone wishing to read more" Guardian

The Edinburgh Murders


🔎 'A delight! A plot at once playful and disturbing, and a wonderfully satisfying surprise ending. McPherson is a terrific storyteller' ANN CLEEVES 🔎Edinburgh, 1948. Welfare Officer Helen Crowther has enough on her plate between her hectic job, her complicated love life, and her growing reputation as a troublemaker. Last year's scandal did nothing to help with the disapproval she already gets as a woman in her line of work. All she wants now is to focus on doing what she loves: helping the poor of the Fountainbridge ward in the city of Edinburgh. The last thing she needs is another string of murders to distract her . . . But when a gentleman dressed in working-man's clothing winds up dead right under Helen's nose, and she catches her own father in a very risky lie, Helen is propelled back into the dark world where class rules, justice is hard to come by and gruesome death is everywhere. Helen has already learned some hard truths about her city, but this investigation is about to reveal just how deep corruption can go . . . 'An intricately plotted mystery with wonderfully original (nasty, but not gory) murders. The rich period detail and use of local dialect immediately whisk you away to post-war Edinburgh. Hugely enjoyable!' FIONA LEITCH

Nevesta sekty


Ako sa z nenápadného dotazníka stane vstupenka do sekty? Keď mala Liz Cameronová osemnásť, v nákupnom centre v austrálskej Canberre ju oslovila neznáma žena s nenápadnou prosbou o vyplnenie dotazníka. Bol to prvý krok na ceste do tajnostkárskej kresťanskej sekty, ktorá pôsobí v desiatkach krajín sveta. Po mesiacoch indoktrinácie sa situácia vyhrotila – Liz sa k sekte nasťahovala, prerušila kontakt s rodinou a priateľmi a čoskoro bola „povýšená“ na nevestu vodcu sekty, sériového násilníka Jeonga Myeong-Seoka. Vybrala sa za ním do Južnej Kórey, kde ho navštevovala vo väzení a žila v luxusnom komplexe patriacom sekte. Po návrate do Austrálie sa jej fyzický aj psychický stav dramaticky zhoršil a jej život sa ocitol v ohrození. Až vďaka zásahu rodičov a profesionálnych deprogramátorov sa jej podarilo uniknúť. Nevesta sekty je vážna a mimoriadne dôležitá autobiografická výpoveď o tom, ako sekty fungujú na očiach verejnosti, ako cielene vyhľadávajú zraniteľných ľudí a ako nenápadne rozkladajú ich identitu. Zároveň je to príbeh prežitia, návratu k sebe a varovanie, že vymývanie mozgov sa netýka len „slabých“ ľudí, ale kohokoľvek z nás.

Tam, kde sa rieky spájajú


Na začiatku 20. storočia stojí mladá Eliza Riversová pred svetom, ktorý sa mení rýchlejšie než prúdy riek v jej milovanej Južnej Karolíne. Odmieta byť len tichou dedičkou veľkého panstva Mayfield – túži po slobode, po prírode, po živote mimo spoločenských pravidiel. No Veľká vojna, rodinné spory a neúprosné živly ju prinútia bojovať o všetko, čo miluje. O osemdesiat rokov neskôr je Eliza poslednou strážkyňou Mayfieldu. Zocelená časom aj stratami musí čeliť vlastnému synovi a rozhodnúť sa, čo obetovať, aby zachránila rodinu i zem, ktorá ju formovala. Tam, kde sa rieky spájajú je dojímavá rodinná sága o žene, ktorá sa nikdy nevzdala – o sile prírody, lásky a neústupnosti v časoch premien. Autorka bestsellerov New York Times Mary Alice Monroeová ponúka prvý z dvoch epických a sugestívnych románov oslavujúcich život jednej nebojácnej ženy naprieč viacerými generáciami na americkom Juhu, nádherné opisy Lowcountry a odkazy, ktoré platia stáročia.

Netvor a ja


Temná romantasy inšpirovaná starovekým Rímom. Sarai si stále nepamätá, prečo sa ju niekto pred štyrmi rokmi pokúsil zabiť. Vie však jedno: prípad bol uzavretý nespravodlivo. Dnes sa vracia na miesto činu s novou identitou Pravdolovkyne – prokurátorky schopnej magicky odhaliť klamstvo. Jej partnerom sa stáva chladný a sadistický Tetrarcha Kadra, najzlovestnejší zo štyroch sudcov vládnucich krajine a hlavný podozrivý v prípade úmrtí, ktoré sa podobajú na útok, aký prežila. Presvedčená o jeho vine, Sarai začne viesť dvojitý život: vo dne súdi prípady po boku Kadru, v noci proti nemu spriada pomstu. Kadra je však sympatický a jeho tvrdá ruka pri riešení korupcie má v sebe čosi neodolateľné. Keď Sarai odhalí dôkazy, ktoré ju vtiahnu do smrteľného politického súboja, musí zároveň bojovať s vlastnou príťažlivosťou k mužovi, ktorého hlas jej pripomína jedinú spomienku na útočníka. Netvor a ja je strhujúci príbeh inšpirovaný starovekým Rímom, kde sa miešajú intrigy, krvavé spory, manipulatívne hry a zakázaná láska. Perfektná voľba pre čitateľov, ktorí milujú romantasy s dávkou temného napätia a nečakaných zvratov.

Orfeova voľba


Orfeova voľba je moderná reinterpretácia jedného z najznámejších antických mýtov. Debut Petra Martiniaka skúma, čo z mýtov prežilo v človeku 21. storočia: vzdor voči nemenným pravidlám, hľadanie vôle, zápas o sebapoznanie i hranice lásky. Na osnove tragického príbehu Orfea a Eurydiky vyrastá paralelný dej, ktorý presúva konflikt z vonkajšieho sveta dovnútra – tam, kde vznikajú pochybnosti, túžby, sebaklam aj nádej na premenu. Dielo je písané bohato vrstveným, miestami archaizujúcim jazykom, ktorý núti čitateľa sústrediť sa na myšlienky, atmosféru a psychológiu postáv. Každú kapitolu uzatvára prísne štruktúrovaná villanella, poetické zrkadlo deja a hudobno-lyrický komentár Orfeovho vnútorného prežívania. Orfeova voľba je zaujímavý literárny experiment – kombinácia prózy, poézie a filozofickej eseje –, ktorý pozýva čitateľa nielen sledovať príbeh, ale kontemplovať ho. Je to dielo, ktoré sa nečíta hltavo, ale vnímavo; dielo, ktoré vzdáva poctu tradícii, no zároveň ju narúša, aby vytvorilo niečo jedinečne súčasné.
