Exhibition


The must-read art world novel of the summer: a story of love, ego and destruction, and the dark relationship between authenticity and celebrity, artist and muse. London. 1990s. Amid the heady rebellion of Young British Artists, Rabble Stone, a photographer, meets the artist, a painter, after renting a room in her Brixton home. Soon Rabble is in thrall to this new world: to the run-down glamour of the Victorian house; to the exhilarating and debauched gallery openings, and to those in the artist's orbit, beautiful and lost. Above all, she is drawn to her new friend's work; raw, unfiltered self-portraits of startling intimacy, which Rabble captures in her uncompromising photographs. But as Rabble's longing tips into obsession, her pursuit of the artist - her fame, her wealth, her life - threatens to consume her... "Sharp, vivid, compelling: a love letter to the last identifiable scene in British Art that captures the energy, grit and luxury and hunger of 90s London" - Lizzy Stewart, author of Alison and Wreck

Voyagers


With the imaginative soul and propulsive storytelling of Station Eleven and The Ministry of Time, Voyagers is a profoundly human, thrillingly original and brilliantly ambitious literary debut about friendship at the end of the world. If the world was about to end, who would you want by your side? When the Signal – a mysterious transmission pulsing from the edge of the solar system – arrives, the world changes overnight. Planes are grounded, satellites fail, humanity holds its breath. And Alex realises there’s no one he’d rather be with at the potential apocalypse than Ana. Because when they were six years old, Ana and Alex were abducted by aliens. Or at least, that’s what they told the rescuers who found them after their 36 hours missing in Palm Springs, and the story they stuck to as they became minor child stars. Now, as the Signal grows louder and the world devolves into chaos, the two race to meet each other for one final reckoning. VOYAGERS is a novel about friendship and family, celebrity and conspiracy, memory and mystery. It explores what it means to live by one story before, at last, having the courage to tell a different one. 'In Voyagers, Meg Charlton explores the connections between memory, storytelling, and truth. Against the backdrop of a global crisis, her characters contend with the lasting pain and confusion of a personal crisis. This novel grapples with the possibility of extraterrestrial life, but even more so with the possibility of friendship that is generous and forgiving. A delightful and moving debut' Helen Phillips, author of Hum and The Need 'Voyagers is a tender sweeping epic about the quest for the self. Meg Charlton asks, in elegant and compelling prose: 'Can we escape the terrible events of our past or make of them what we will? And what happens to intimacy when we share a past but remember it differently?'. At its heart, Voyagers is a story about storytelling – how it tears us apart and might bring us back together again' Taymour Soomro, author of Other Names for Love

Gray Area


Experience a sizzling, age-gap romance where passion knows no boundaries and second chances are just the beginning. Two decades designing couture for the elite, and building a billion-dollar fashion brand, should feel like success. Instead, I have an empty mansion, a fresh divorce settlement, and the sinking feeling that I traded everything meaningful for a life that looks better on social media than it does in the mirror. When my practically estranged best friend passes away, she leaves me with the one thing my ex-husband never gave me a chance to have—a baby. Well, a soon-to-be baby, currently residing in a surrogate’s belly. Surprise!Guilt-ridden, and scared to face this alone, cue my desperate funeral plus-one hire: Saylor, an escort with bedroom eyes and a smile that makes me forget I’m supposedly “past my expiration date.” He’s over a decade younger and shouldn’t give me a second glance after the check clears. Only he does. And while I’m spiraling over surprise motherhood and the thoughts of launching a new fashion empire, away from the clutches of my ex, this way-too-young-for-me man has the audacity to look at me like I’m the only woman in the world. “Too old” is what society whispers about women my age starting over. Too old for babies. Too old for new beginnings. Definitely too old for Saylor’s salacious advances that make me feel like a teenager in lust. But what if the happily ever after isn’t lost, just fashionably late? And what if the unattainable escort couldn’t care less about earning his money, because he’s making a play for my heart?

Vidéki bűntények - Tizenkét rejtély Dél-Angliából


VADONATÚJ VÁLOGATÁS AGATHA CHRISTIE DÉL-ANGLIÁBAN JÁTSZÓDÓ NOVELLÁIBÓL! A Torquay-ben felnőtt Agatha Christie-t ezernyi szál fűzte a vidéki Angliához - de míg a kis Agathát a vásárok, regatták és teadélutánok foglalkoztatták, e történetek szereplőit leginkább a bosszú, a pénz és a hatalom. De legyenek bár a gonosz oldalon nyájas szektavezérek, a világpolitikát titokban irányító kínai háttérhatalmak vagy épp mezei bankrablók, biztosak lehetünk benne: kedvenc nyomozóink, Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy és Tuppence vagy épp Parker Pyne ezúttal sem hagyják őket győzedelmeskedni.

Holtak vallatója


Dr. Richard Shepherd, a nagyszerű igazságügyi patológus több mint 23000 boncolást végzett. A maga módján detektív, furcsa, gyakran megmagyarázhatatlannak látszó halálesetek rejtélyeit kell megoldania… Az igazságot kutatva sorozatgyilkosokat buktatott le, természeti katasztrófák következményeit vizsgálta, „tökéletes gyilkosságokról” rántotta le a leplet, szokatlan vagy valószínűtlen balesetek körülményeit derítette fel. Az általa szolgáltatott bizonyítékok gyilkosokat juttattak rács mögé, ártatlanok szabadságát adták vissza, kézenfekvőnek tűnő megoldási kísérleteket döntöttek romba. Tette mindezt nem kis személyes áldozatok árán. A Holtak vallatója nem pusztán a számára legtöbb vívódást okozó holttestekről és esetekről szóló beszámolók gyűjteménye; azt is bemutatja, milyen egy élet, amelynek minden pillanatában jelen van a halál.
