The Subtle Pleasures of Indiscretion
The latest book in the beloved Isabel Dalhousie seriesThe surface of Isabel Dalhousie's life is usually a tranquil one. From her house in Edinburgh she edits a philosophical journal. In the background is her long-time housekeeper, Grace, her handsome husband, Jamie, and her two small boys, Charlie and Magnus. Outside, under the cover of the rhododendron bushes, lives Brother Fox, who, with his dark, vulpine eyes, takes a great interest in what is happening around him. And yet, in the middle of this rather idyllic setting, things are happening. Jamie, a bassoonist, has been invited to play in a prestigious London concert and to make a recording for a prominent classical label. This invitation, though, comes from a scheming woman who finds him particularly charming. Alarm bells ring. And they ring too when a wily philosopher, Christopher Dove, reveals a plot to topple Professor Robert Lettuce, a member of Isabel's editorial board. Could Isabel's life get more complicated? Yes. A woman she knew many years ago at school approaches her with a request for help. She has made an awkward discovery as a result of taking a DNA test. Can Isabel prevent the information obtained from this test from causing real harm to a whole family? If anybody can do that, it is Isabel Dalhousie. And she does that with tact and, most importantly, the grace that we have come to know as her hallmark quality.

Észrevétlen függőségeink
Az Észrevétlen függőségeink húsba vágó történetek gyűjteménye. Embereké, akik eljutottak oda, ahol már nincs tovább: ahol a test felmondja a szolgálatot, és a halál nem elvont fogalom, hanem reális lehetőség. A kötet azonban nem ragad le a szélsőséges élethelyzetek bemutatásánál. Nem minden függőség látványos, és nem mind rombol hangosan: van, amelyik csendben épül be a mindennapokba. Sokan évek óta,,jól funkcionáló" függőként élnek: dolgoznak, gyereket nevelnek, látszólag rendezett az életük. Rácz Laura Rebecca több tucat mélyinterjún és szakértői beszélgetésen keresztül rajzolja fel a függőség ezernyi arcát: a szégyent, a tagadást, a mélypontokat. A megszólalók között aktív és felépülő függők, valamint hozzátartozók mesélnek veszteségről, visszaesésről és felismerésekről. A könyvben olyan emberek történetei olvashatók, akik életük egy pontján munka-, szex-, szerelem-, pornó-, testedzés-, versenyzés-, szerencsejáték-, alkohol-, kábítószer- vagy gyógyszerfüggőséggel, valamint étkezési zavarokkal vagy kodependenciával küzdöttek. A kötet nem áll meg a mélypontnál, hanem megmutatja a felépülés törékeny, mégis reményteli útját is. Az interjúalanyok őszintén beszélnek arról, mit jelent együtt élni a sóvárgással, hogyan válik a józanság napi munkává, és miként lehet a pusztító függőséget kapcsolódássá, alkotóerővé vagy akár szolgálattá alakítani. A személyes történeteket szakértői megszólalások egészítik ki, amelyek segítenek tágabb összefüggésbe helyezni a hallottakat. A könyv az érintettek és hozzátartozóik mellett szól azoknak is, akik szeretnének árnyaltabban, empatikusabban gondolkodni a függőség és a szerhasználat témájáról, ami napjainkban komoly társadalmi problémává nőtte ki magát, és amivel kapcsolatban mindannyiunknak van valamilyen tapasztalata.
In the Rhododendrons
'In a memoir that pulses with feeling and intelligence, [Christle] excavates the past to expose difficult truths' GuardianWhen Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with. During a rare moment of vulnerability, Christle's mother shares a memory of assault as a child growing up in London. This instant of shock and recognition sends Christle down a rabbit hole into her mother's past. From Kew Gardens to the British Library and Bloomsbury, Christle's journey takes her deep into her family mythologies and her own buried memories. All the while, she finds that Virginia Woolf and her writings not only seem to connect and overlap with her mother's story, but also that Woolf becomes a kind of vital intermediary: a sometimes confidante, sometimes mentor, sometimes distancing lens through which Christle can safely observe her mother and their experiences. In the Rhododendrons is part memoir, part biography of Virginia Woolf, part reckoning with the things we cannot change and the ways we can completely transform, if we dare. This utterly original book will stir readers into new ways of seeing their own lives. 'Heartbreaking, revelatory, exquisite, and ultimately ecstatic, this book is a gift' Jessamine Chan, author of The School for Good Mothers

Hubris Maximus
The rise, fall, and revival of the Caesar of Silicon Valley. Elon Musk famously leads his companies from a bully pulpit, cutting through red tape whenever possible with little regard for the fallout. Musk's approach to business and politics is truly singular - he alternately seems to be either in complete command or on the verge of a meltdown, and many in his orbit have had their lives upended by buying into his utopian vision. From the chaotic launch of the Tesla Cybertruck to his decision to reshape Twitter into 'X' as part of his self-proclaimed mission to defeat the 'woke mind virus', Musk is seemingly drawn to public controversy, yet he has emerged from these turbulent moments more influential and powerful than ever. Hubris Maximus offers an unprecedented insight into the motives and mindset that have driven Musk's stratospheric rise to power. In this cautionary tale about the pitfalls of magnetic leaders, Washington Post journalist Faiz Siddiqui offers a gripping portrait of a uniquely messy and lucrative period in Musk's career, one which has seen him ascend into a key role in Trump's administration.
