Finding Grace
She thought it was fate. I knew it wasn't.
Honor seems to have everything: she adores her bright and beautiful daughter, Chloe, and her charming, handsome husband, Tom, even if he works one hundred hours a week. Her bestselling children's books mean that she's made a name for herself doing what she loves. But Honor's desperate longing for another baby threatens to eclipse everything that's good. When a shocking tragedy changes their lives forever, Tom is left to pick up the pieces.
Grace has made her London wine shop a second home for people like her - people who are running from their own pasts. Passionate, studious, and self-assured, she finds herself curious about Tom, who becomes a fixture at the shop.
As Grace falls for Tom, she shares things about herself that she's never told anyone.
Tom knows he needs to tell Grace the truth too. But the closer they get, the harder it is...
A shared past, an unexpected future and a page-turning moral dilemma, FINDING GRACE is about everything that matters most.

But he isn't a hostage. Luke - doting father, successful writer, eternal optimist - is the gunman.
What Camilla does next will be crucial. Because only she can figure out what clue lies in the note he left behind . . .
The Curse That Binds - The Bewitched Series 3
Before there was Selene, there was Roxilana. Her love fated, her life doomed, and her story forgotten – until now.
When Roxilana hears a voice inside her head, she believes she’s gone mad. This voice, Memnon, claims he is her god-touched soul mate, one who has the ability to wield magic. Not only that, but he believes Roxilana possesses magic, too.
Wild though his claims are, Roxilana realises Memnon speaks the truth. First, her power Awakens. Then, Memnon, King of the Sarmatians, shows up at her door in Rome, proclaims her as his wife, and takes her to his homeland.
Roxilana’s fate is everything she hoped for. But there are things Memnon didn’t tell her – about his magic, life as a Sarmatian, and what she, as queen, will have to endure. And as she soon learns, nothing is as dangerous as love and power. While the combination can build empires and legacies, it is capable of destroying everything and everyone in its path. And if Roxilana and Memnon are not careful, it could destroy them along with it.
The Curse That Binds offers a rich and steamy romantasy tale set before Bewitched and Bespelled, making it perfect for long-time series fans and newcomers alike.
Wind/ Pinball
Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973 are Haruki Murakami's two first novel - here they are together in one edition.
Now I think it's time to tell my story.
Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973 are Haruki Murakami's two first novels. Home from college on his summer break, the narrator spends his time drinking beer and smoking with his friend nicknamed the Rat, listening to the radio, thinking about writing and pursuing a relationship with a girl with nine fingers. Three years later he has moved to Tokyo to work as a translator and live with indistinguishable twin girls. But the Rat has remained behind. Haunted by memories of the past, the narrator embarks upon a quest to find the exact model of pinball machine he and the Rat had enjoyed playing years earlier: the three-flipper Spaceship.
'Quintessential Murakami…an excellent introduction to a writer who has since become one of the most influential novelists of his generation' Guardian
'Murakami's way of making emotionally resonant images and symbols bump around on the page, and in one's mind, remains fresh' Evening Standard

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
Murakami's surreal, mind-bending masterpiece: a sci-fi pastiche and a Utopian fantasy novel ingeniously woven together.
A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan. Unicorn skulls and voracious librarians. John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story, post-modern manifesto. All this rolled into one rip-roaring novel, End of the World and Hard-boiled Wonderland is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami's international following.
Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy.
'A remarkable writer...he captures the common ache of contemporary heart and head' Jay McInerney
'His fantasies, with their easy reference to western pulp fiction and music, retain a beauty of the mind' Guardian

One Summer in Provence
A season of secrets...

When she is contacted by a stranger who claims to be her long-lost son, David, the newborn she gave up at twenty and has never spoken of since, Celia impulsively invites him for the weekend of celebrations - without mentioning it to her husband.
Despite his surprise, Dominic graciously welcomes David and his unexpected companion - but secretly he harbours doubts. Is David really Celia's son? And who is the mysterious young woman travelling with him?
Only Celia can decide how far she will go to hold everything together, to keep her perfect life from unravelling...
One Summer in Provence is a story of betrayal and belonging, and of discovering love in unexpected places.
Engagement
A feminist cult classic about love, independence and what it means to be an individual, translated into English for the first time
‘I want to have him, I really do. I just don’t want him to have me.’
Martina and Gustav, students in 1970s Stockholm, meet and fall immediately into coupledom. But what is coupledom? A route to marriage? A declaration of co-dependency? A new dimension of commitment and responsibility? A sexual confrontation? Or is it a habit that an intelligent person must consider breaking? Martina and Gustav discuss their relationship endlessly, between themselves and with others, as they try to make it work.
Engagement, set during a time of social change and political upheaval, sees Martina trying to engage with the world on her own terms. Unwilling to marry, she finds herself in a state of permanent engagement while her friends settle down to marriage and children; uncertain of the world’s future, she engages with demos, sit-ins and philosophy seminars in her quest for a new blueprint for joy. First published in 1976, when it was heralded as an instant classic, Engagement remains as relevant, hilarious and heartbreaking today.

Abi is a professional cleaner, so it's ironic when she's forced to move out because of an infestation in her building. Thanks, Apartment 2B!

When Declan's parents tell him they met his girlfriend at his apartment, he's surprised to say the least. But it is nice to have them off his back about being single for a change. . .
Declan finds out who Abi really is, and decides to makes her a proposition: pretend to date him, and he'll provide everything she needs.
What could go wrong? It's business, not pleasure. Right?
The Position of Spoons
From twice Booker-shortlisted author Deborah Levy, a moving and revelatory collection exploring the muses that have shaped her life and work as a writer
In The Position of Spoons, Deborah Levy traces and measures her life against the backdrop of the literary and artistic muses that have shaped her - including a letter to her dying mother and to an absent friend. This volume illuminates and celebrates a rich and varied intellectual inheritance - and reflects on how it has enriched the author's own work. Taking in questions of mortality, language, gender, place, consumerism and everyday living, the acclaimed novelist invites her reader behind the curtain of a creative life, 'in which the position of the spoon is always changing'.

Fragopolis 8 miliard obyvatel
Na planetě Zemi žije (na podzim 2024) 8 199 929 498 lidí. Východoslovenský Prešov má 83 tisíc obyvatel. Někteří z něj utíkají. Prešov je díky nim v celém světě. A celý svět zase v Prešově. Eperies, Preschau, Eperjes či Fragopolis, to je součást osmimiliardové planetární populace, s tím se prostě nedá hnout. Literární reportáž Průvodce Prešovem a zbytkem světa publicisty a básníka Ivana Motýla vypráví o současném Prešově s nejbližším okolím, i když také o Gosportu nebo Tokiu. O setkání s prešovským řeckokatolickým archimandritou či s olašskými Romy z Rožkovan. O kavárně Berger, ve které straší Jozef Tiso, ale i o bezdomovcích z parku u Torysy a (ne)voličích Roberta Fica. A dost možná hlavně o asfaltových chodnících z časů socialismu, které tvoří mnohakilometrovou abstraktní grafiku. Není to ta nejdůležitější věc, kterou je třeba v Prešově spatřit?
