The Cats of Poets Square
Previously published as Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
People kept asking: Why would you have cats that don't love you back?
The morning after Courtney Gustafson moved into an old house in the Poets Square neighbourhood of Tucson, Arizona, she noticed tiny pawprints all over her driveway. They were the first evidence of a colony of feral cats, who, to her surprise, would expand her world spectacularly.
Beebs was the first to appear. Then there was Monkey, the dark-blotched 'scheming little gremlin' calico, and Reverse Monkey, her timid, white-blotched opposite. There were Sad Boy and Lola, the inseparable pair who made their way across the internet and into strangers' wedding vows. And there was Goldie, the tiny king of Poets Square: sick, skinny, but completely fearless.
Poets Square is a love letter to community in a broken society, told through the cats Courtney meets in dark alleys, neglected homes and her own driveway; cats she cherishes and must sometimes let go. Above all, it explores what loving these feral creatures, in all their noise and need, can teach us about care, connectedness and the power of hope.

My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein
Who was Gertrude Stein?
Avant-garde American poet and art collector who made her home in Paris, godmother of modernism, queer icon, friend to Picasso and Hemingway, self-declared genius - a writer who has baffled readers and critics for a century.
And why does she matter?
The narrator of Deborah Levy's latest, dazzling fiction has gone to Paris to find out. There she meets Eva with the blinding gaze, an artist in a long-distance marriage, and Fanny, a sexually adventurous financier; together they cook, walk, read and argue late into the nights.
As Paris sweeps her along in its ceaseless flow, she thinks - about what we have to lose to become modern, navigating anxiety, living with uncertainty, angry fathers, making a new life in another country, art and language - how all these things looked to Gertrude Stein in the early days of the twentieth century, and how they look to her and her friends in the early twenty-first.
This is a book about how we put ourselves together- an exhilarating, witty, cosmopolitan meditation on the pleasures and challenges of friendship, desire and living with other people. But it is also crashes through genre to create an inspired portrait of Stein herself: a writer who experimented fearlessly with a new way of living and who wrestled herself free from the nineteenth century to invent a brand-new way of looking at the world.
I Served The King Of England
Ditie is a pint-sized hotel waiter with big dreams.
Between pocketing stolen change from unsuspecting customers and reminiscing on nights spent at the local brothel, he fantasises about his immense - and imagined - riches.
Then, ludicrously, Ditie's dreams start to become reality.
Yet while his chaotic adventures lead him to ever more glamorous hotels, beyond the sparkling dining halls, the forces of twentieth-century European history march on.
A whirlwind of comic genius, a gut-punch of narrative power, this is the story of one small man's rise and fall - or fall and rise - against the shadowy backdrop of Europe's darkest days.

Valós Rémálmok
Amikor az ember azt hiszi, minden a helyére kerül, akkor jön egy újabb csapás.
Alicia visszatér Holtvölgybe, hogy helyre tegye azokat a dolgokat, amelyek a múltban megtörténtek: gyász, trauma, csalódás. Sok mindenen ment keresztül, ám az a célja, hogy legyőzze a fejében lakozó démonokat, hogy továbbléphessen, és boldog, nyugodt életet éljen. De ahogyan azt már megtanultuk, Holtvölgyben semmi nem olyan egyszerű.
Valaki ott lapul a sötétben. Valaki, aki nem képes továbblépni. Valaki, aki bármeddig hajlandó elmenni azért, hogy megkapja, amit akar.
Miközben Alicia igyekszik szabad lenni, és továbbra is meg akarja fejteni az egyik rejtélyes gyilkosságot, mely ezen a helyen történt, Olivér újra a lány kegyeiért teper. Ő sem adja fel könnyen, azonban ha igazán boldoggá akarja tenni őt, neki is szembe kell néznie valamivel. Azzal az énjével, melyet még ő maga sem ismer eléggé.
Vajon sikerül megküzdeniük az újabb nehézségekkel, vagy ezúttal végleg elnyeli őket a sötétség?
Whispers of You - Suttogások (Elveszítve & Rátalálva 1.)
Egy éjszaka, amely mindent elvett tőlem.
A testemet, ami helyrehozhatatlanul megsérült. A fiút, akiről azt hittem, hogy örökké az enyém marad. Az életet, amiről mindig is álmodtam.
Holt most visszatért. Csakhogy most már nem fiú, hanem férfi, akinek tekintetében árnyak lapulnak, és akit démonok kísértenek.
Azt mondja, azért jött, hogy mindent rendbe hozzon. Hogy visszaszerezzen egy kicsit mindabból, amit elveszítettünk. És esze ágában sincs elhagyni a kisvárost, amely a menedékemmé vált.
Ahogy a lopott pillanatok napokká nyúlnak, Holt mindenhol jelen van égő tekintetével és még sokáig kísértő érintéseivel. Falaim lassan leomlanak, és csak remélni tudom, hogy nem akkora esztelenség megragadni ezt a második esélyt, mint amilyennek tűnik.
Ám nem mindenki örül Holt visszatérésének. És amikor a tragédia újból lesújt, én kerülök célkeresztbe. Ezúttal talán Holt sem tud megmenteni…

Už mi dávno není padesát
Po úspěšných sbírkách povídek Ať žijí padesátnice a Padesátka v nouzovém stavu přichází Hana Hřebejková s dalším dílem svých humorných historek ze života. Ze života ženy, která oslavila své padesátiny už před nějakým tím pátkem, ženy, která ráda cestuje, hoduje, zpívá, miluje své děti, vnoučata a přátele a z každé lapálie dokáže vytěžit příhodu, kterou pobaví své blízké. Třeba o tom, zda lze i v pokročilém věku s vášní skládat puzzle v dětském koutku, jak se vydávat za sestru vlastní dcery či jak se vypořádat s hlučným sousedem. S autorkou se vypravíme za humornými historkami na lázeňský pobyt do Františkových Lázní, na zájezd do Alsaska i po památkách naší vlasti. Zavzpomínáme na dobu kovidu i na mladá léta, na trampoty rodinného života, práci v zahraničí a dozvíme se třeba i to, jak najít zvonící mobil zastrčený za gumou vlastních kalhot.
