That Time Everything Was On Fire


'A wonderful book, with the beauty, warmth and solidarity of female friendship at its core' 'An excellent debut novel from a writer with a very perceptive take on modern womanhood' 'So good, so addictive, so relatable and so realistic!' *** Sam and Daisy have been best friends since university. Back then Daisy was a wild, Fleetwood Mac-obsessed girl descended from the Yorkshire Moors, while Sam’s youth was misspent traipsing around Liverpool on shopping trips and nights out. But as they lean against each other on a wooden bench in the tired garden of their beloved local pub, gazing out at Sam’s wedding, they have no idea that their paths are about to truly diverge for the first time. As Sam’s desire to become a mother consumes her, and Daisy’s inability to resist temptation haunts her, these best of friends will lose sight of themselves – and each other. With each misstep and unintentional betrayal the gulf widens. But can they build a bridge, or will they let it burn? *** 'An assured and clever debut' Kate Kemp, author of The Grapevine 'Warm, witty and deeply romantic' Lauren Bravo, author of Probably Nothing ‘Heart-warming, funny and so relatable’ Laura Dockrill, author of I Love You, I Love You, I Love You ‘Spending time with the characters – in their hope, uncertainty and banter – was like being amongst friends’ Gabrielle Griffiths, author of Greater Sins ‘A heartfelt kaleidoscope of female friendship’ Roxy Dunn, author of As Young as This ‘A must-read full of heart’ Stephanie Steel, author of The Train from Platform 2 ‘A touching, true-to-life story of friendship, the tensions and pressures of your thirties, and proper Northern representation’ Sarah Handyside, author of Instructions for Heartbreak ‘Sharp and observant, warm and touching’ Bonnie Burke-Patel, author of Dead as Gold ‘Warm, witty and charming, reading That Time Everything Was on Fire feels like gossiping with your best mates in a pub garden and finally feeling the sun on your skin after a long winter’ Marni Appleton, author of I Hope You’re Happy ‘A beautiful ode to the female friendships that carry us through our lives, with all their many complications’ Silvia Saunders, author of Homesick ‘A heartfelt and timely debut’ Elspeth Wilson, author of These Mortal Bodies

Moore''s stories are complemented by the works of a string of legendary artists including Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones), Eric Bradbury (Rogue Trooper), Bryan Talbot (Grandville), Steve Dillon (Preacher), Brett Ewins (Bad Company) and more.

Bulldozer - Buldózer - Szeretni nehéz 3


Amanda Shaw végre összeszedte magát. Évek kemény munkája és rengeteg önfegyelem kellett hozzá, de végre ura az életének. New York-i jógastúdiója olyan sikeres lett, hogy most nyit egy újat az óceánparton, miközben kapcsolata tízéves fiával napról napra javul. Az utolsó dolog, amire szüksége van, hogy csavar kerüljön remekül működő életének gépezetébe. Grant Hendricks pedig nem éppen apró csavar. Négyszer választották az év legjobb védőjátékosának az NFL-ben, háromszor gyűjtötte be a legtöbb szerelést, és általánosságban véve ő minden idők egyik legjobb focistája, de ezúttal hivatalosan is elérte a mélypontot. Egy szörnyű gerincsérülés után lehet, hogy visszavonulásra kényszerül, és ez még annál is jobban megijeszti, mint az orvosok figyelmeztetése, hogy a következő ütközéstől akár le is bénulhat. Csak egy nyugodt helyre lenne szüksége, ahol átgondolhatja a dolgokat, és a csapattársa óceánparti háza tökéletes választásnak tűnik. A gondot csak az a nő jelenti, aki szintén ott lakik. Engedd, hogy ez a történet legyűrje minden ellenállásodat!

Bosorky


Román polské autorky Agnieszky Szpily Bosorky může na mnohé působit jako zjevení. Drzost, otevřenost a naštvanost, s níž píše, se nejspíš nebude všem líbit a mnozí čtenáři či čtenářky ji nemusejí skousnout. Ovšem fakt, že se v roce 2022 dostal do dvacítky nominovaných knih na prestižní literární ocenění NIKE, svědčí o tom, že minimálně polské kritiky a jistou vrstvu polských čtenářů zaujal. Knihou se prolínají dva příběhy – jeden ze současnosti, druhý ze středověku. V obou vystupují výrazné ženské postavy: generální ředitelka velké společnosti Anna Šibnerová a Mathilde Spalt zvaná Zemitá, která šíří nauku o Staropanně.
