If you love a family saga, sprinkled with historical fiction elements, and strong female protagonists, you need to read this book' theSkimmSalento, Italy, June 1934. A coach stops in the main square of Lizzanello, a tight-knit village where everyone knows each other. A couple gets off: The man, Carlo, a child of the South, is happy to be back home after a long time away; the woman, Anna his wife, is a stranger from the North. Carlo's brother is there to meet them, and he and everyone else can't help but notice that Anna is as beautiful as a Greek statue. But Anna is not like the other wives. She doesn't gossip or attend church. She reads books no one else has ever heard of. She even wears pants, just like a man, and thinks a woman should have rights just like a man. There aren't many options for a woman with Anna's sensibilities, so when she learns that the post office is hiring, she leaps at the opportunity. A female letter carrier? It is unthinkable. But Anna soon becomes the invisible thread connecting the town as she delivers letters between clandestine lovers, families waiting to hear news of loved ones away at war, even helping those who can't read. But for some in Lizzanello, letters come too little and too late. The seamstress, who was Carlo's first love, can't help but look at Anna as having taken her rightful place. Carlo's niece has put herself in a loveless marriage after an impetuous act of jealousy. And Carlo and his brother find themselves trying to cover up a recently unearthed surprise that could shatter all of their lives. 'Transportive, poignant, lush...

He even dreams of going to space one day himself, and knows he'll have to study hard in order to get there.

When his teacher says 'not yet' for the millionth time, Alex decides it's time to make a change. Now he's ready to try everything he can to get the people in his life - his teachers, his parents, and the kids at school - to understand that he, Alex Ramirez, is capable of the extraordinary.

Nekem ez gyanús
Egyesült Királyság, 1979. Margaret Thatcher a miniszterelnök, a szűk farmer a divat, de a tizenéves Mivet egészen más foglalkoztatja. Meg van győződve róla, hogy az apja délre akarja költöztetni az egész családot. Mégpedig a gyilkosságok miatt.
Csakhogy az, hogy ő elhagyja Yorkshire-t és a legjobb barátnőjét, Sharont, egyszerűen szóba sem jöhet. Nem számít, hogy milyen veszélyek leselkednek rájuk, vagy hogy milyen furcsa hangulat uralkodik otthon, amióta Miv anyja nem szól egy szót sem... És ekkor a lánynak támad egy ötlete: talán ha neki és Sharonnak sikerülne megoldaniuk az eltűnt nők ügyét, és leleplezniük a Yorkshire-i Hasfelmetszőt, akkor mégis maradhatna minden a régiben. A két barátnő tehát munkához lát: készítenek egy listát az utcájukban élő összes gyanús emberről és dologról, hátha éppen errefelé bujkál a hírhedt sorozatgyilkos. Ám az igazság keresése során több titkot tárnak fel a kisváros lakóiról, saját családjukról, sőt egymásról és önmagukról is, mint azt valaha is gondolták volna.
A Nekem ez gyanús nemcsak krimi, de izgalmas és megindító történet is a közösségről, a családról, a barátságról és a felnőtté válásról.

Principles of Catholic Theology, Book 5
This work explores a Christian understanding of God's presence in the world. As the Creator of all that exists, the Creator-Trinity is mysteriously present to all things, and truly but imperfectly knowable as such. In addition to this creative presence, however, there is also the manifestation of God's presence as a gift of grace. By supernatural faith, the trinitarian life of God is made known to us as an object of the Christian mystical life. This life is centered especially upon God's unique presence by way of Incarnation, human life, death, and resurrection, in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. This work explores these notions in comparison with other religious traditions, in a Catholic as well as ecumenical perspective. Original considerations are offered regarding the nature of scriptural inspiration, the Church as the mystical body of Christ, and the sacraments as instrumental expressions of the Incarnation, all with a view to the notion of mystical experience, and union with God. Principles of Catholic Theology, Book 5 is a continuation of Fr. Thomas Joseph White's collection of essays, extending over a range of fundamental topics in Catholic dogmatic theology.
The Kennedys and the Windsors
'A compelling read' -- Robert Jobson'Racy' -- The Times'Illuminating' -- Elizabeth Beller'A meticulous feat of research and reporting' -- Kate StoreyThe story of two iconic dynasties-the Kennedys and the Windsors-whose glamour and ambition defined an era. Reveals never-before examined stories about Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Princess Diana, Prince Harry, JFK, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Robert Kennedy Jr., and many others. For fans of The Crown and Disney+ new Ryan Murphy limited series Love Story. For nearly a century, two families have captured the world's collective imagination: the Windsors and the Kennedys. Much has been written about their individual trysts, tragedies, and triumphs over the years, but no one has examined their intertwined legacies. Until now. The Kennedys and the Windsors unearths the shared story of these two families, drawing out some startling parallels between them: the style icons Princess Diana and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who both tragically died young, the frustrated "second sisters" Princess Margaret and Lee Radziwill, the scandal-plagued next generation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, and the current generation's struggles to figure out what a monarchy - actual or imagined - means in the twenty-first century. From Queen Elizabeth's coronation to President Kennedy's historic London visit, JFK Jr.'s shocking death to Prince Harry's decisive break with his family, Caroline Hallemann traces the key moments in the lives of these dynasties through a fresh and fascinating lens, showing how they have intersected over the generations in ways that not only shaped their images, but history itself.
