I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This
'Truly the best and most insightful book about grief I have ever read' Joanna Cannon'Beautiful, heart-breaking and yet overwhelmingly hopeful' Mike GayleGrief is universal, but it's also as unique to each of us as the person we've lost. It can be overwhelming, exhausting, lonely, unreasonable, there when we least expect it and seemingly never-ending. Wherever you are with your grief and whoever you're grieving for, I Promise It Won't Always Hurt Like This is here to support you. To tell you, until you believe it, that things will get easier. When bestselling writer Clare Mackintosh lost her five-week-old son, she searched for help in books. All of them wanted to tell her what she should be feeling and when she should be feeling it, but the truth - as she soon found out - is that there are no neat, labelled stages for grief, or crash grief-diets to relieve us of our pain. What we need when we're grieving is time and understanding. With 18 short assurances that are full of compassion - drawn from Clare's experiences of losing her son and her father - I Promise it Won't Always Hurt Like This is the book she needed then. PRAISE FOR I PROMISE IT WON'T ALWAYS HURT LIKE THIS'That Clare has used her own devastating experience to help others who are going through something similar is a brave and hugely laudable thing to do. A book that is both heart-breaking in its honesty and uplifting in its compassionate approach, it is beautifully written and offers - implicit in the title - hope' Alan Titchmarsh'Wherever you are with your grief, and whoever you're grieving for, this incredibly honest book was written to support you... full of compassion and comfort' Adele Parks, Platinum'A book dripping with a compassion that can only truly be laid out on the page by a Survivor of the Trenches of Grief .

Kings of Sin 5-book Boxset
King of Wrath:
The billionaire CEO never planned to marry - until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows: Vivian Lau, jewellery heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. It doesn't matter how beautiful or charming she is. He'll do everything in his power to destroy the evidence and their betrothal.
King of Pride:
Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos - and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified. With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can't afford the distraction she brings.
King of Greed:
He has everything - a beautiful home, a beautiful wife and more money than he could spend in a lifetime. But no matter how much he accumulates, he's never satisfied. In his endless quest for more, he drives away the only person who saw him as enough. It isn't until she's gone that he realizes there may be more to life than riches and glory.
King of Sloth:
He also has no interest in taking over his family's empire (much to his father's chagrin), but that hasn't stopped women from throwing themselves at him . . . unless the woman in question is his publicist. Nothing brings him more joy than riling her up, but when a tragedy forces them closer than ever, he must grapple with the uncertainty of his future.
King of Envy:
Vuk Markovic is notorious for shunning human interactions. The scarred billionaire rarely talks, and he has no interest in relationships outside his small but trusted circle. His only exception? Her. The beauty to his beast, the object of his obsession. He saw her first. He wanted her first. But now, she's engaged to his oldest friend.
Velký zlý lišák
Velký zlý lišák není ani velký ani zlý a má navíc neuvěřitelnou smůlu. Každý jeho pokus chovat se jako krutá šelma končí nějakou nehodou nebo neúspěchem, takže je pro smích celému okolí – především slepicím. Naštěstí je tu jeho samozvaný mentor vlk. Frustrovaný a hladový lišák, přežívající jen na tuřínové dietě, se nechá přemluvit ke geniálnímu plánu, jak slepice přelstít – ukrást jim vejce, vysedět je a vykrmená kuřátka si dát k obědu. Jenže to, co v teorii zní jednoduše, se v praxi ukáže jako velká komplikace a v komiksu Benjamina Rennera také jako nesmírně vtipné dobrodružství!
Velký zlý lišák (Le grand méchant renard), jeden z nejpopulárnějších francouzských komiksů nejen pro dětské publikum, byl vydán v roce 2015. Od svého vzniku získal řadu ocenění – Prix de la BD Fnac, Grand Prix des Lecteurs časopisu Le Journal de Mickey, Prix Jeunesse d’Angoul?me za nejlepší dětskou knihu.
Filmová adaptace pod názvem Velký zlý lišák a jiné příběhy (2017) navíc obdržela cenu César – francouzskou obdobu Oscara – za nejlepší animovaný film roku.
Nestárnoucí příběh: Svatý Jan Bosco
Kněz Jan Bosco (1815–1888) působil v Turíně v politicky napjaté době, kdy veřejnost nebyla církvi vůbec nakloněná. Navíc se začal zajímat o chudé chlapce ztracené v průmyslovém městě, což se tehdy od kleriků rozhodně nečekalo; mnohdy je doslova sbíral z ulice. Nejdřív s nimi trávil nedělní odpoledne, později pro ně zakládal domy, dílny a školy. Nevěnoval jim jen svůj čas, ale především sám sebe. Když
umíral, jeho salesiáni už působili nejen po celé Itálii i jinde v Evropě, ale také v daleké Jižní Americe. Dnes najdeme jejich komunity v téměř 140 zemích světa včetně několika míst v České republice.
A Far-flung Life
Outback Western Australia, 1958: for generations, the MacBrides have lived on a remote sheep station, Meredith Downs. A million arid acres, it s an ocean of land, where the weather is a capricious god, and time still roams untamed.
One ordinary day, on a lonely road, under the unending blue sky, patriarch Phil MacBride swerves to avoid a kangaroo. In seconds the lives of the entire MacBride family are shattered.
Then, instead of leaving wounds to heal, Fate comes for them yet again, in a twist of consequences that will cause one of them to lose their life, and another to sacrifice theirs for the sake of an innocent child. Matt, the youngest MacBride, is plunged into a moral and emotional journey for which there is no map, no guide, as he is forced to choose between love and duty, sacrifice and happiness.
A tale of family and belonging, of compassion and hope, A Far-flung Life is about people trying to do their best, each, for private reasons, seeking shelter from the storm of life. Exploring the lives of a handful of isolated souls and the secrets they shield in order to survive, this epic novel stands as a testament to the enduring power of love.
Howl
A tragicomic portrait of one man's unravelling in an absurd, twisted world, Howl is the propulsive new novel from Booker-Prize winner Howard Jacobson.
In the aftermath of October 7, Ferdinand Draxler walks the streets of London in despair. Everything has changed the sights, the sound, the spirit. He too is not who he was.
Is he at the crossroads of history or is it just a bend in the cul-de-sac of his own gloomy nature?
The son of a Holocaust survivor who accuses him of cowardice and the father of a daughter who sees him as complicit in genocide, Draxler fixates on bad news. He shouts at the television. He carries his own tin of paint to cover up graffiti.
The staffroom at the primary school of which he is headmaster has become a battlefield of inflamed opinion he does nothing to quiet.
His wife Charmian is a beacon of calm but even she isn't sure she can save Ferdie from himself. 'Don't worry about me,' he tells her. 'I don't have what it takes to go mad.'
Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon
Adored by readers, the million-copy Japanese magical realist mystery for fans of BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD.
If you could meet any dead person of your choosing for one night, who would it be?
When Hirase, a young woman from Tokyo arranges an appointment with The Go-Between, she doesn't expect a teenager to show up. Dressed preppy-style in a duffel coat and carrying a notebook, he communicates with the dead - at least, this is what Hirase has pieced together from the Internet - offering them a chance to travel back into the real world.
He quickly lays down some ground-rules: you are allowed only one meeting with the dead, for a single night; the dead person must not have been called back by anyone else before, plus they have the right to refuse. Lastly, the service is entirely free.
Four more characters will enlist the Go-Between for an emotional encounter with the dead.
What is the mystery behind this smart young man with the notebook and why does he insist on meeting in, of all places, a freezing cold hospital carpark?
Utterly unique and soul-stirring, THE GO-BETWEEN explores the wonder of life, the magic of the ordinary and the importance of friendship and always making amends, from Japan's best-loved magical realist mystery author.
Irish Stories
The short story flourishes in Ireland. All Irish conditions seem to favour it. With its roots in the fertile soil of the Gaelic folk tradition, it appeared to grow and thrive on the discontinuities of Irish history – the war of independence, civil war, political division.
The first Golden Age was in the middle years of the 20th century; an extraordinary flowering of stories from Elizabeth Bowen, Seán Ó Faoláin, Flann O’Brien, Frank O’Connor, Samuel Beckett, Maeve Brennan, Edna O’Brien (the list could go on) came at a time when Ireland was repressed and inward-looking, dominated by the church and enervated by migration. But when the boom times came in the 1990s, it all happened again. The liberal, globalized, ethnically diverse society of 21st century Ireland is still witnessing a vibrant blossoming of short fiction from Anne Enright, Roddy Doyle, Colm Tóibín, Claire Keegan, Sally Rooney, Kevin Barry, Lucy Caldwell, Yan Ge ….
