Makeshift
A fascinating and long-forgotten novel about the experiences of a German Jewish woman from the end of the First World War to the mid-1930s, her growing awareness of the rise of Nazism and her search for a home as a refugee. The story of the struggle to establish an identity in an unstable and intolerant world, told in an unforgettable voice.Makeshift traces the story of Charlotte Herz, a German Jewish woman, from the end of the First World War and the time of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Nazism. Campion details Charlotte''s struggle to establish her identity in the midst of increasing anti-Semitism and violence against Jews. Finally, driven into exile, she roams from England to South Africa and Australia before settling, uneasily, in New Zealand. Charlotte''s stubborn, irrascible outlook makes her a caustic and often bitingly funny observer and her unique voice becomes an irresistable narrative voice. A unique account of the experience of exile that makes for an unforgettable novel.

Cizota
931, Nový Galveston, Mars: Čtrnáctiletá Anabelle Crispová se vydává přes pustiny oblasti zvané Podivno, aby našla gang Silase Mundta, který ukradl hlas její matky, zničil jejího otce a jí nechal jenom touhu po pomstě.
Od chvíle, kdy Anabellina matka odcestovala na Zemi, aby se postarala o nemocnou babičku, tráví Anabelle dny ve škole a noci v otcově dineru, kde je jejím jediným společníkem Watson – rodinný kuchyňský automat a myčka na nádobí. Když přišlo Mlčení a komunikace i zásobování mezi Zemí a jejími koloniemi na Marsu ustaly, život ustrnul v tísnivé nehybnosti – až do noci, kdy zaútočil Silas Mundt se svým gangem.
Ballingrudův román, který zároveň evokuje snové vize Ameriky z Bradburyho Marťanských kronik i tvrdou realitu pohraničního života z Portisovy Opravdové kuráže, působivě zachycuje Anabellinu pouť za pomstou zdecimovaným a rozhněvaným světem. Společnost jí přitom dělá domácí automat, opilý vesmírný pilot a nejdrsnější žena na Marsu.

Rozložená pamäť
„Zabudnúť je často zložitejšie, ako si pamätať.“
O 3:37 zobudí hrdinu románu telefón a nočný rozhovor s matkou rozvíri hladinu spomienok. Vracia sa do obdobia dospievania v moravskom Přerove, k zážitkom mladého queer chlapca, ktorý vyrastá v konzervatívnom priemyselnom meste, v rodine, kde niet peňazí nazvyš. V tomto prostredí sa trestá odlišnosť. Hrdina si doslova rozkladá pamäť, ako keď si prezeráme staré fotografie a hľadáme drobné detaily, ktoré často prezrádzajú viac, než čo je zjavné na prvý pohľad. Hovorí o matke, otcovi a dedovi, o šikanovaní, alkoholizme aj o vyrovnávaní sa s odlišnou sexuálnou orientáciou. Rozoberá na jednotlivé súčiastky nielen vlastné spomienky, ale aj akúsi kolektívnu pamäť celej rodiny.
Krehký debut je unikátnym pokusom vniesť do českého i slovenského kontextu témy svetovej literatúry. Svojím štýlom pripomína tvorbu autorov ako Ocean Vuong či Édouard Louis.
Autor získal za knihu ceny:

Ovál
Autobiografický román o cestě za svým cílem, lemované lakonickým humorem
Po čem muži touží, když jim táhne na padesát? Po vůni benzínu a větru ve vlasech na silné motorce nebo jachtě? Uhánět s životem o závod, aby jim neutekl?
Miika nemá řidičák ani nejmenší chuť být rebelem, a tak se rozhodne začít běhat, zhubnout skoro dvacet kilo, obout tretry a zúčastnit se opravdového závodu.
Může se z rozseděného spisovatele stát vyšvihaný sprinter? Jak moc to bolí? Co všechno ho pohání vpřed? A podaří se mu překonat finský rekord v běhu na 400 metrů v jeho věkové kategorii, jak si předsevzal?
V autobiograficky laděném románu Miika Nousiainen ukazuje, že si umí dokonale utahovat nejen z finské povahy, jak to známe z jeho předchozích knih, ale i sám ze sebe.

Audrey Lane Stirs the Pot
From the USA Today bestselling author of Boyfriend Material and Husband Material comes the third in a charming new adult romance series. Get ready for a delectable LGBTQIA+ romcom with all the cosy charm of The Great British Bake Off!
***
Audrey Lane is perfectly fine. Really. So what if she left her high-powered job as a Very Important Journalist - and her even higher-powered long-term girlfriend - to live a quiet life as a reporter for the second-biggest newspaper in Shropshire? And so what if she keeps hearing that same higher-powered long-term now-ex-girlfriend in her head night and day, constantly judging just how small Audrey's allowed her life to become?
She's fine. She's happy. She's perfectly within her groove. Do not-in-their-groove people get weekday drunk and impulsively apply for the UK's most beloved baking show?
All right, so maybe she's not completely fine, but being on Bake Expectations is opening her world again in ways she never anticipated. First through fellow contestant Doris, whose personal story of queer love during WW2 captures Audrey's heart, imagination and journalistic interest like nothing has in ages.
Then through Jennifer Hallet, the most foul-tempered (and fouler-mouthed) producer, woman, and menace Audrey has ever met. Jennifer should be off-limits, but her fire lights something unexpected inside of Audrey, making her want to burn back a million times brighter. A million times hotter. A million times more herself than she's been in a long, long time.
Audrey Lane Stirs the Pot is a heartwarming story of triumphant love, and a must-read cosy romcom that will have readers and Bake Off fans grinning from ear to ear.

Zavátí
Zavátí… Ale odkud? A kam?
Do zapadlého antikvariátu, na loď plující do Hamburku a nebo jen tak na poušť, jako zrnka písku...
Devětadvacet autorů si osudy takových Zavátých mělo možnost poslechnout z úst jejich potomků: dětí českých imigrantů v Chicagu. Ty jim odvyprávěly nejen životní příběhy svých předků, ale dokázaly v posluchačích vyvolat také řadu emocí a vzpomínek na okamžiky z jejich vlastního života. A z těchto pestrých dojmů, v nichž se mísí skutečné osudy Zavátých spolu s fantazií a životní zkušeností autorů, vznikla kniha, kterou právě držíte v ruce. Výtěžek z jejího prodeje pomůže ve studiu těm, bez nichž by nemohla vzniknout: žákům České školy T. G. Masaryka v Chicagu.

The Real World
Policing is a hazardous, demanding and emotionally charged role that’s performed by officers every day to protect people from harm and danger. Rod Rose highlights the ways officers understand the nuances within everyone to ensure that people can integrate within society without fear or favour. It’s essential that we can live in our society safe in the knowledge we have the support of people who care about our physical and mental welfare, and who can deal with any problems and dangers we may encounter. Police officers perform this role. Rod explores where, as children and adults, many issues affect the way we see the world and how that impacts us in life. The Real World takes the reader on a journey through some of the many challenges any one of us may be confronted with and seeks to highlight how these are dealt with by that essential member of the community, the British police officer. Mainly unarmed, their greatest weapon being communication, officers face personal threats daily to ensure the security of every one of us, working to ensure we aren’t caught up in ‘The Real World’, a very different place police officers live in, every time they put on their uniform.
In The Blink of a Tiger’s Eye
‘Give me a boy until he is ten and I will give you the man.’ An old saying that can equally apply to all children. It stresses the importance of the development of youth, and how the impressions that surround the young give rise to their adult characters. In troubled times of empire and conflict two children, born ten years apart on different continents , grow to find each other in the midst of war-torn East Africa. Defying social conventions and taboos, their relationship was never going to be easy. They come together in East Africa only to drift apart in jealous pursuit of their different careers in Germany through the 1920’s and 30’s. He the diplomat heading for the top. She, the singer and cabaret artist seeking larger audiences and bigger theatres. The end of Second World War is a turning point in their chequered relationship. Love can rise and fall and be much abused through the years, but does love and passion ever really die ? Perhaps sometimes it just matures into something stronger.
Amerikáni
Nové Slovensko. Aj tak sa dala na začiatku 20. storočia nazvať štvrť South Side v Pittsburghu, kde svoj domov našli tisícky slovenských imigrantov. Za vidinou nového začiatku tam prichádza aj mladý Andy spolu s židovským muzikantom Poldim, ktorému v Hamburgu zachránil život. Kým Poldi sa v Amerike rýchlo uchytí, Andy živorí ako robotník v železiarňach spoločnosti Jones&Laughlin, kde tak ako väčšina prisťahovalcov, čelí šikane a vydieraniu zo strany írskych predákov. Až kým jedna udalosť nezmení úplne všetko a zrodí mýtus o slovenskej imigrantskej mafii a robotníckom hrdinovi menom Joe Magarac. Príbeh o priateľstve, odvahe a hľadaní svojej identity historicky verne zachytáva osudy slovenských imigrantov v Pittsburghu, ktorí sa v čase epidémie španielskej chrípky a veľkého oceliarskeho štrajku dokázali postaviť za svoju komunitu a jej práva.
