Můj první hrabě


Elizabetiny dobré přítelkyně se nedávno vdaly, a tak se i ona sama pouští do hledání manžela. Do oka jí padne zejména Geoffrey, hrabě z Harringtonu. Je vysoký, pohledný a elegantní. Ale také až příliš sebevědomý. Nemá snad o Elizabeth zájem jenom proto, aby nepřišel o prestižní diplomatickou pozici v Bruselu? Elizabeth ale touží jen po manželství z pravé lásky, takže si ho bude muset nejdřív vyzkoušet… Lorda Harringtona láska nezajímá. Musí se oženit kvůli práci a krásná Elizabeth s dobrými konexemi mu dokonale vyhovuje. Je však možné, že svou nevěstu podcenil? Je silná, inteligentní a každým dnem mu připadá přitažlivější – ale také je vůči němu čím dál chladnější. Geoffrey musí nyní čelit své největší výzvě: získat srdce své vyvolené, nebo riskovat, že o ni navždy přijde.

Porcupines


Los Angeles, 2001. Sonia is raising her daughter, Mila, alone in the sunny but somnolent suburbs of LA. Her days are a blur of not-quite-illegal business activities, avoiding other moms, and baking birthday cakes laced with rum: minor mistakes that nevertheless remind her she doesn't belong. Mila, meanwhile, is juggling violin and swimming lessons and navigating the treacherous social politics of school - all the while trying to get her mother to share something, anything, about her past. But there are just too many things that Mila doesn't know: She doesn't know that her mother grew up in Soviet Hungary (where getting your hands on a banana was one of the greatest thrills in life) She doesn't know that her mother has a sister called Rina (whom she hasn't spoken to in 10 years) The only thing she does know about her father is that he was a 'good time' (according to her mother) Crucially, she doesn't know that there is a very good reason why her mother dodges everyone, from traffic cops to vice principals. So, Mila concocts a scheme to get her mother, and the man Mila is kind of sure must be her father to reconnect. It involves corralling Sonia into chaperoning an orchestra of ten-year-olds (most of whom seem to be called Megan) on a road trip from LA to San Francisco, and it may just cause their carefully constructed lives to implode. Moving between Budapest before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Washington, DC in the tense years of the Cold War and the bright sunshine of early 2000s Los Angeles, Porcupines is an irresistible novel about mothers and daughters, belonging and reinvention, the things we carry with us, and those we tell ourselves we've left behind.

See You on the Other Side


'Shows McInerney at his best' SPECTATOR'Our modern-day Fitzgerald' VANITY FAIR'One of the most gifted writers of his generation' OBSERVERThe eagerly anticipated final volume of Jay McInerney’s stunningly accomplished and profoundly affecting fictional tetralogy: Brightness Falls, The Good Life, Bright Precious Days, and now See You on the Other SideIt's early 2020 in New York, and the looming threat of a global pandemic begins to unsettle the gilded lives of Manhattan’s literary and social elite. Now in their sixties, Russell and Corrine Calloway are navigating a new chapter: downsizing from their Harlem brownstone to a penthouse in the Village, grieving the death of Corrine’s mother, and all the while facing the encroaching anxieties of aging, memory, and cultural obsolescence. Their daughter, Storey, prepares to launch her dream restaurant in Brooklyn just as fear begins to empty dining rooms and the city starts to shut down. Meanwhile, as the world tilts towards crisis, Russell is pulled between domestic stability and the temptation of an affair with a younger writer – an emotional turmoil which reignites complicated questions about fidelity and the alternate paths their lives might have taken. Told with McInerney’s signature wit and elegiac prose, See You on the Other Side is a dazzling finale to the bestselling Calloway series, capturing the disorientation of a couple forced to confront their own mortality amidst shifting cultural tides and the slow unravelling of the world they once knew.
