The Housemaid


"Welcome to the family," Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I'll soon learn that the Winchesters' secrets are far more dangerous than my own... Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor. I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband. I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late. But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don't know who I really am. They don't know what I'm capable of...

Miss Jane


Inspired by the true story of his own great-aunt, Brad Watson tells the story of Miss Jane Chisolm, born in rural, early-twentieth-century Mississippi with a genital birth defect that would stand in the way of the central 'uses' for a woman in that time and place - namely, sex and marriage. From the country doctor who adopts Jane to the hard tactile labour of farm life, from the sensual and erotic world of nature around her to the boy who loved but was forced to leave her, the world of Miss Jane Chisolm is anything but barren. Free to satisfy only herself, she mesmerizes those around her, exerting an unearthly fascination that lives beyond her still. Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.

Jeges villanás


Mi történne, ha egy reggel arra ébrednél, hogy az életed egy elcsúszott valósággá vált? Amikor úgy érzed, senkiben sem bízhatsz, még a legjobb barátaidban sem? Elizabet és barátai ismét az Eplényi Síarénába érkeznek – ezúttal utoljára. Ez az utolsó közös szabad hetük, mielőtt lediplomáznának. Ám ahelyett, hogy a búcsú és a nosztalgia uralná a napokat, egy sötét és veszélyes játék veszi kezdetét. Ugyanis Elizabet fenyegető üzeneteket kap, amelyekben egy sor kockázatos, néha vakmerő megbízás áll. Ha ezeket nem teljesíti… Ahogy a feladatok egyre veszélyesebbek lesznek, a lány fokozatosan elveszíti az irányítást – nemcsak a helyzet, hanem saját érzelmei felett is. Akiket eddig ismert és szeretett, furcsán viselkednek, mintha valami vagy valaki ellene fordítaná őket. Miközben körülötte a világ lassan darabjaira hullik, a múlt is újra felbukkan. Gyerekkori barátja, Nataniel iránt régi, elfojtott érzelmei lángra lobbannak. A köztük lévő vonzalom egyre erősebb, ám Elizabet nem lehet biztos abban, hogy a fiú valóban mellette áll, vagy éppenséggel a játszma egy újabb bábja. Ángyán Patrícia története a bizalomról, az árulásról, a szeretetről és a félelemről szól. Egy jegesen romantikus krimi, ahol a hatalom és a túlélés határai elmosódnak.

Songs for Other Peoples Weddings


A charming, tender novel about an unlucky-in-love wedding singer trying to find the right words to save his relationship, from award-winning, bestselling author David Levithan and beloved, acclaimed singer-songwriter Jens Lekman. J is an accidental wedding singer. Unlike most wedding singers, he writes an original song for every couple-his way of finding out about the small, strange things that brought them together and the hopeful, vulnerable feelings they're experiencing. J's own love life is in a state of flux. His girlfriend is off to New York for work, and as her life grows bigger and busier without him in it, he finds it harder to stick to a happy tune. He doesn't know whether to encourage the soon-to-be-wed couples or warn them. When complications hit and love is tested, is there any way to sing through all the noise? Combining David Levithan's deeply observant storytelling and Jens Lekman's inventive and touching original songs, Songs for Other People's Weddings is a tender, honest novel that tracks love through all its chord changes, never forgetting that the best songs contain the bitter and the sweet, the despair of losing it all and the euphoria of being found.

Never Been Witched


“Amid magical shenanigans...this book might just have you laughing out loud.” Hazel Beck for Witches Get Stuff Done Welcome to Starfall Point, where haunted hotels and heartfelt magic collide. Shy antiques expert and full-time witch, Alice Seastairs, thought keeping her magical talents hidden from the world, and her coven, would keep everyone safe. But when charming, buttoned-up Collin Bancroft asks Alice to bring his family’s haunted hotel back to life, her carefully ordered world is thrown into delightful (and ghostly) chaos. Collin may be polished, practical, and utterly skeptical about magic, but the more time he spends with Alice and the Duchess Hotel’s mischievous spirits, the harder it becomes to deny that something enchanting is happening-both in the hotel and in his own guarded heart. As Alice finds herself drawn to Collin’s kindness and humor, she must also confront the shadows of her past, the secrets that keep her from her coven sisters, and a growing threat that could destroy the fragile happiness she’s finally found. Never Been Witched is loved for its laugh-out-loud humor, gentle romance, and unforgettable blend of paranormal mischief and emotional depth. With a heroine discovering her strength, a romance that grows with every page, and a cast of witches, ghosts, and small-town eccentrics, this book delivers the heart and healing fans of witchy romance crave. As comforting as it is magical, Never Been Witched will sweep you away to a world where even the most broken hearts can find a little magic-and maybe, just maybe, their own happily ever after.

Queen Esther


Esther Nacht is born in Vienna in 1905. Her father dies on board a ship from Bremerhaven to Portland, Maine, and anti-Semites murder her mother in Portland. In the orphanage at St. Cloud's, it's clear to Dr Larch, the physician and director of the orphanage, that the abandoned child not only knows she's Jewish, but she's familiar with the biblical Queen Esther she was named for. Dr Larch knows it won't be easy to find a Jewish family to adopt Esther; he doubts he'll find any family to adopt her. When Esther is fourteen, soon to become a ward of the state, Dr. Larch meets the Winslows, a philanthropic family with a history of providing for unadopted orphans. The Winslows aren't Jewish, but they detest anti-Semitism and similar prejudice. Esther's gratitude to the Winslows is unending. As she retraces her steps to her birth city, Esther keeps loving and protecting the Winslows - even in Vienna. The final chapter of this historical novel is set in Jerusalem in 1981, when Esther is seventy-six.

Words Are My Matter


Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope.

Le Guin's best writing on literature, articulating with precision and passion her belief in the social and political value of storytelling - especially in hard times. In doing so, and with her characteristic spirit, Le Guin offers both a glimmer of hope and a set of operating instructions for a life lived with meaning.
