In the Forest
The spruces are so close together that the barks are a sable-brown. Michael O'Kane is known as the 'Kinderschrek', the 'child scarer'. He haunts Cloosh Wood in western Ireland. As a boy he lost his mother and by the age of ten he was in prison. Now he seeks sacrificial victims to satisfy his delusional fantasies: a beautiful young mother, her infant son and a trusting priest, who are enticed into the forest. Inspired by a real triple homicide, this novel is a 'tour de force of finely restrained fury' (Newsday).
This Is a Love Story
''Unapologetically romantic: complicated, colourful and includes many tales that tug at the heartstrings. Soffer''s saga goes down like bittersweet chocolate, with a hint of sugar to soften the sharp edge of loss'' New York Times''One of the best love stories I have read in a long time'' 5-star NetGalley Review''Can something be quiet and intimate yet impactful and expansive? Because that''s the best way I can describe this book. I''m going to need some time to process this one!'' 5-star NetGalley Review''Lyrical, graceful - Jessica Soffer has captured the glittering magic of New York City'' Jenny Jackson, NYT-bestselling author of Pineapple Street''A revelation - the kind of novel to read in one sitting'' Liz Moore, bestselling author of The God of the WoodsAbe and Jane have been together for fifty years: as two among the thousands of starry-eyed young lovers in Central Park, as frustrated and exhausted parents, as an artist and a writer whose careers were taking flight. Now, Jane is seriously unwell, and together she and Abe look back on their marriage - on the parts they cherished, and those they didn''t: Abe''s early betrayal; and the trials of raising their son Max, who, now grown, still believes his mother chose art over parenthood.A homage to New York, to pleasure, loss and love that endures despite or perhaps because of what life throws at us, This Is a Love Story brings these layered voices together in a chorus as complex, radiant and captivating as the city itself.
Life Hacks For a Little Alien

'Climb up here, Little Alien. Sit next to me. I will tell you about life on this planet. I will tell you how it goes'From her first words to her first day at school, Little Alien can't help but get things wrong.

But when Little Alien sees a documentary about the Voynich Manuscript - a mediaeval codex written in an unknown language and script - she begins to suspect that there are other people who feel just like her. Convinced that translating this manuscript will offer the answers she needs, she sets out on a journey that will show her a delicious taste of freedom. So begins this charming, witty, and profoundly moving novel about the power of language, the wonder of libraries - and how to find a path that fits, when you yourself do not.

To Lose a War
Jon Lee Anderson first reported from Afghanistan in the late 1980s, covering the US-backed mujahideen’s insurrection against the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul. Within days of the 9/11 attacks, he was again on the ground as an early eyewitness to the new war launched by the US against the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. At the time, the American military had prevailed on the battlefield, and the newfound peace seemed to offer a precious space for Afghan society to restore itself and to forge a democratic future. But all was not well: Osama bin Laden was still in hiding, the Taliban were stealthily reorganizing for a comeback, and the United States was about to turn its attention to Iraq. To Lose a War collects Anderson’s writing from Afghanistan over a near-quarter-century span, offering a chronological account of a monumental tragedy as it unfolds. The colossal waste, missed signals, and wishful thinking that characterized the twenty-year arc of the US-led war in Afghanistan have consecrated it as one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the modern era, and a bellwether of a larger American imperial decline.

A Line You Have Traced is the story of three women, separated by history but drawn together by an unknown force, that asks how we might survive and engage with the world, and each other, before it's too late. ‘A gloriously innovative, endlessly surprising gut punch of a novel.’ Rebecca Tamás, author of Witch

Ach, ty děti
Děti – nevinné i vychytralé, roztomilé i zlomyslné, zrcadla dospělého světa i jeho nečekaní rozvraceči. Povídková sbírka Ach, ty děti nabízí pestrý průřez pohledů na dětský svět očima dvanácti předních českých autorů a autorek. Co příběh, to jiný úhel – od humorného přes napínavý a hororově pohádkový až po mrazivá rodinná dramata, v nichž jde mnohdy o život. Děti zde nejsou jen objektem výchovy nebo obětí okolností, ale také aktivními hybateli děje – někdy zábavným, jindy znepokojivým způsobem. Jsou zobrazeny jednou jako statečné osobnosti, které přebírají roli rodičů, když tito selhávají, podruhé jako citoví vyděrači, malí ďasové, schopní zbořit dům, či bytosti, jež nás svými rozhodnutími mohou zachránit, utěšit anebo taky dostat do blázince, ba i do hrobu. Příběhy o vztazích mezi rodiči, prarodiči, potomstvem i mezi dětmi navzájem a o tom, jak láskyplné i vyhrocené tyto vztahy mohou být.
