The Strange Case of Jane O.
WHAT IF YOU COULD REMEMBER EVERYTHING, EXCEPT THE DAY YOU DISAPPEARED?
A young woman, Jane O., arrives in Dr. Henry Byrd's office having suffered a series of worrying episodes: amnesia, premonitions and an inexplicable sense of dread. But as Dr. Byrd struggles to solve the mystery of what is happening in Jane's mind, she suddenly goes missing. When she is found a day later, unconscious in a park, she has no memory of what has happened to her.
The astonishing case of Jane O. will lead Dr. Byrd to question everything he once thought he knew . . . Captivating and beautifully written, The Strange Case of Jane O. is a speculative mystery about memory, fate and the unexplained mysteries of the human mind.
The Secret Lives of Murderers Wives
You ve heard of the men who kill, but what about the women who loved them?
It s a baking hot summer in 1960s California and three women have formed an unlikely friendship. From the outside, Beverley, Elsie and Margot lead idyllic lives, but behind the false smiles and glittering pools lies the truth: their husbands are some of the country s most notorious convicted killers.
Amidst neighbourhood gossip and pointed fingers, the women are fighting to forge new paths for themselves. Wide-eyed Beverley is raising two young children under the long shadow of their father s crimes.
Bookish Elsie is determined to make a name for herself in the patriarchal newsroom, while Hollywood party-girl Margot has a penchant for an early morning margarita anything to quieten the shame of her ex-husband s deceit.
But when a string of local killings hits the news, the women underestimated and overlooked are hurled into an investigation of their own. After all, who better to catch a killer than those who have shared their lives with one?
The Language of Lies
How can you tell if someone is lying to you? Is it possible to separate the truth from lies in what people say? And when should you trust what you hear? Everyone lies. We lie to our family, friends, colleagues and strangers. But some lies are extremely damaging.
They can destroy relationships, ruin lives and create distrust and discord. These lies need to be detected. And they can be, if we know how to listen out for them.
Forensic linguist Dr. Kirsty King knows that, as convincing as some liars might be, their lies can be exposed by paying close attention to the language they use. It is possible for us to detect whether someone is being deceptive by listening out for key linguistic indicators in the way that they speak and the things that they say. Drawing on research from forensic linguistics and psychology, this book presents real-life case studies and stories to show you how language can reveal the liars amongst us: from partners or colleagues misleading us to killers trying to get away with murder.
New Boy
Arriving at his fourth school in six years, diplomat’s son Osei knows he needs an ally. Luckily he hits it off with Dee, the most popular girl in school. But one student can’t stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players – teachers and pupils alike – will never be the same again.
The tragedy of Othello is transposed to a 1970s suburban Washington schoolyard in this powerful drama of alienation, adolescence and friends torn apart.
Vinegar Girl
Kate Battista is stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and infuriating younger sister Bunny? Dr. Battista has other problems. His brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr, his new scientific breakthrough will fall through...
When Dr. Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he's relying - as usual - on Kate to help him. Will Kate be able to resist the two men's touchingly ludicrous campaign to win her round?
Anne Tyler's brilliant retelling of The Taming of the Shrew asks whether a thoroughly modern woman like Kate would ever sacrifice herself for a man. The answer is as surprising as Kate herself.

A megtorlás játéka - Hades 2.
Hades, a holtak istene nem áll senki oldalára, és nem szegi meg a szabályokat. Elveiben nincs kivétel - sem isten, sem halandó, de még a szeretője, Persephone, a tavasz istennője kedvéért sem.
A félelem általában elejét veszi a megtorlásnak. De most nem elég. Amikor Hera, a nők istennője felajánlja Hadesnak a lehetőséget, hogy segítsen neki megbuktatni Zeust, ő nemet mond. Hera azonban
nem viseli jól az elutasítást: büntetésből próbák sorozatára ítéli a holtak istenét.
Mitikus szörnyetegek lemészárlása és halálos ereklyék visszaszerzése - minden egyes próbatétel lehetetlenebbnek tűnik az előzőnél, és egyre inkább elvonja Hades figyelmét Persephonéról.
Csakhogy a tavasz istennője is saját tragédiájával küzd, amely megingatja abban a hitében, hogy lehet-e egyáltalán az Alvilág királynője.

Zivoin is newly arrived in a strange country. The dependable oldest son, he works all hours of the day and night, sending every penny he can save back to his family. On the news, he watches his homeland, Yugoslavia, slowly fracturing.
Thousands of miles away, in the tropical heat of Uberlândia, Brazil, Alegria prepares to leave behind the country – and the family – she loves dearly. Bright and ambitious, she strives to give her parents the life they deserve, even if it takes her far from them.
A chance meeting throws Alegria and Zivoin together – and for a brief moment, they feel at home. But their journey is just beginning, and what follows will draw them irresistibly across countries and continents, leaving them both forever changed.
The powerful, exhilarating debut novel from an award-winning new voice in fiction, Strangerland is a heartfelt testament to the endurance that has come to define a generation of immigrants.

An Arrow in Flight
Mary Lavin is the great unsung voice of Irish fiction. Here are her very best, most electric stories: illuminating, moving, arrows in flight.
Mary Lavin’s stories feature ordinary people in the tight confines of ordinary life.
From rural Ireland and the streets of Dublin they charm, irritate and intrigue in complicated brilliance, appearing to us with unique freshness. Good friendships, bad deeds, frustrations, missteps, hope and laughter are all found in captivating stories where real and astonishing things happen. Few women were so consistently published in the New Yorker and yet today Lavin’s work is largely unpublished and overlooked.
This collection re-establishes her as one of the most genius, irresistible and memorable voices of the last century. SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY COLM TÓIBÍN.

Farewell to Russia
*‘Brilliantly introduces us to faraway countries about which we should know more.’ Tim Marshall, author of Prisoners of GeographyThey might have said goodbye to the USSR – but can they ever say farewell to Russi? now, concrete, the KGB: that’s the cliché of the Soviet Union. But its collapse in 1991 sparked a story at once messier and more compelling than any stereotype. Thirty-five years on, Moscow may brim with champagne bars and blacked-out Mercedes – but what became of the other fourteen states that emerged from the ashe? n the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Joe Luc Barnes crossed the former USSR to find out, from the gleaming towers of Azerbaijan to the former gulags of Kazakhstan, tech-hungry Estonia to the minarets of Uzbekistan. Along the way, he finds epic mountains, cobblestoned old towns and storied Silk Road cities – not to mention Georgian wine, Armenian brandy and vodka in industrial supply. Travelling thousands of miles, he gathers a chorus of voices: nomads in mountain yurts, TikTok-fuelled activists, small-town taxi drivers and many who still look uneasily over their shoulder for the secret police. With insight, empathy and a healthy dose of mordant wit, he asks what has happened – and why – to the people and their hopes and dreams since the great promise of independence. By turns hilarious, angry and heart-stopping, this is a darkly comic, deeply human portrait of a region the West still misunderstands – and a warning of what happens when empires break but the habits of empire refuse to die. If you loved The Silk Roads, Nothing to Envy or The Places in Between, and have a soft spot for Bill Bryson, clear space on your shelf: this is the book for you. Joe Luc Barnes speaks fluent Russian and is one of the few people, if not the only person, to have visited all 15 former Soviet countries since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Offers essential insights into a restless region where Russia, China and the West all vie for dominance. Covers: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Krygyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Ukraine – and, of course, Russia.
