Somewhere


‘Back in the flat, Sylvia is no use. She doesn’t have any ideas, all she suggests is get a job, take your time, get some money together, then go somewhere. But Clodagh needs to go now, needs to go today if possible. Even Seamus has gone. But where, and with what?’Clodagh finds herself adrift after leaving her partner Seamus. Navigating addiction, the harsh realities of a housing crisis, and relationships pushed to the brink, this is a story of her attempts to reconnect with herself, and those closest to her, in a gritty, vividly rendered contemporary Dublin. Weaving from place to place and person to person – past friends, fellow users and her worried mother Sylvia – Clodagh struggles to fully understand herself, or the city she calls home. Urban isolation, the trials of modern life and the fleeting beauty found in Dublin marble every scene of this novel. Somewhere is a raw and intimate portrait of a woman balancing on the edge of survival, seeking meaning and love amid isolation and addiction.

Ženy slova


Není to proto, že by ženy nepsaly. Aby stvořily díla, která si stále zaslouží pozornost, musely odložit vařečky a vystoupit z rolí manželek a matek. Spisovatelky 19. a 20. století tvořily navzdory společenskému očekávání, životním útrapám i žárlivým manželům. Oblíbená autorka Jana Poncarová představuje intimní portréty osmi spisovatelek, na které školní osnovy zapomněly: F. Háj, Felix Téver, Růžena Svobodová, Amálie Kutinová, Vlasta Javořická, Olga Barényi, Marie Majerová a Popelka Biliánová.

Andromeda


A myth rewritten. A name reclaimed. Blessed by the gods with unparalleled beauty, Andromeda lives a life of ease within her Aethiopian palace walls. Content with her sanctuary, the young princess has no concerns other than the royal expectations her parents have for her - until a single, fateful proclamation changes everything. When the queen defies the gods with a blasphemous claim, Poseidon, fearsome God of the Seas, delivers a deadly ultimatum that puts the queen's life in Andromeda's hands. Poseidon sends his loyal servant, the shape-shifting Ceto, to seal the princess's fate. But Ceto is not just a servant. With a sharp tongue and hardened heart, she has little interest in the princess's appearance - and even less in the games of gods. Yet an undeniable tension begins to bloom between them, and both quickly realise Andromeda's beauty is not only a gift, but a weapon to wield. As Poseidon's judgement draws ever closer, the two women find themselves pulled into something far more passionate - and dangerous - than either could have predicted...

Ro McCarthy, single in her fifties and working a quiet job, is sustained by her love of books and her deep friendships. Although she still doesn’t approve of marriage – not even for the straights – she is canvassing for yes in the 2015 marriage equality referendum. But, as the ghosts of her activist past join her on the campaign trail and her eagerness to confront a familiar discrimination turns to obsession and fury, Ro must finally face the long-buried trauma and loss of her youth. Thirty years earlier, Ro is a young Cork woman living her best life in Boston, undocumented and working multiple jobs, making life-long friends, and falling in love with Jenny. Soon, however, the young gay men who have become Ro’s new family – from Ireland and elsewhere – begin to die.

In the wake of this macabre heyday which Ro just about survives, her charged entanglement with Jenny will bear witness to the resistance and survival of an invisible generation of warriors. Slant is a headbutt to the heart, told from within a protective community, that will reveal and celebrate all the kinds of love needed to sustain a life.
