Duels
A gripping tale of education, violence, and hope, in which one man's dream for a better future collides with a community on the edge of transformation. Set in 1842, this novel foregrounds a Haiti that is grappling with the weight of an onerous debt imposed by France, forcing its citizens to pay reparations to French colonists in exchange for diplomatic recognition of the first Black republic of the Americas. In the town of Boën, a prosperous notary, Ludovic Possible, decides to take a bold step to secure the future of his community. He opens a schoolhouse where local children can learn both artisanal skills and the essential ability to read and write. For Ludovic, education represents the best chance for the people of Boën to rise above their hardships and build a prosperous future—especially for Aida, a quiet and enigmatic girl whose mother’s marvelous stories captivate him. The tranquility of Boën is soon shattered, however, by a series of duels that pit families, neighbors, and even animals against each other. As tensions rise, Ludovic’s vision for a better future is threatened by the escalating violence. In Duels, Néhémy Pierre-Dahomey introduces readers to a rich and unforgettable cast of characters—Aida, Ludovic, Balthazar Possible, Pépé the Tempest, and many others—who find themselves at the crossroads of a nation on the brink of transformative change.

Angelin popol
Román ocenený Pulitzerovou cenou
Keď spomínam na svoje detstvo, čudujem sa, ako sa mi vôbec podarilo prežiť. Pravdaže, bolo to biedne detstvo, o šťastnom nestojí za to písať. Horšie než obyčajné biedne detstvo je biedne írske detstvo, a ešte horšie je biedne írske katolícke detstvo.
Takto sa začína autobiografický román držiteľa Pulitzerovej ceny Franka McCourta, ktorý sa narodil v období veľkej hospodárskej krízy v Brooklyne v rodine imigrantov a neskôr vyrastal v Írsku v žalostných podmienkach. Frankova matka Angela nemala peniaze, aby uživila svoje deti, lebo Frankov otec Malachy pracoval len zriedka, a keď už pracoval, celú výplatu prepil. Nemala na jedlo ani na oblečenie, trápila ich zima a vlhko, čo si vybralo krutú daň. Angelin život tak pripomínal každodenný boj o prežitie. Z jej snov a nádejí napokon ostal len popol.
Frankov otec, neznesiteľný a nezodpovedný človek, však zároveň živil chlapcovu túžbu po tom jedinom, čo dokázal svojmu synovi poskytnúť – po príbehu.
Možno práve vďaka tomu sa Frankovi podarilo prežiť. V handrách namiesto plienok, žobrajúci o bravčovú hlavu na vianočnú večeru a zbierajúci uhlie na kraji cesty, aby si mohli doma zakúriť, statočne znášal chudobu, vlčí hlad aj bezcitnosť príbuzných a susedov. Nielenže prežil, ale svoj príbeh napokon vyrozprával pútavo, s humorom a pozoruhodnou schopnosťou odpúšťať.

A zárda gyermekei - Lottie Parker 15.
Lottie Parker felügyelő és Boyd őrmester szabadságon van. Connemarában vendégeskednek a férfi nővérénél, aki az esküvőjére készül. A nagy sürgés-forgásból elmenekülve Lottie a környéken sétálgat, amikor egy bungalónál villogó rendőrautókat lát. Természetesen odamegy, hogy megtudja, mi történt. Mint kiderült, egy összeégett női holttestet találtak a fürdőkádban.

A nyomozás során szörnyű dolgok derülnek ki. Az apácák rabszolgákként dolgoztatták a lányokat a mosodában, kegyetlenül bántak velük, a legkisebb kihágást is megtorolták, a kínzásba belehalt gyerekek holttestét pedig eltüntették.
Majd újabb gyilkosság történik…
A háromgyerekes Lottie az érzéseit kikapcsolva, vérbeli profiként mindent megtesz, hogy Mooney őrmesterrel mielőbb felgöngyölítsék az ügyet.
Wild Darling
Enemies. Team-mates.
Something dangerously close to more … Parker Darling is ready to take center ice now that his older brothers have left to play hockey in college. He shows up to the first practice ready to be team captain of the Ransom Devils, only to find a new coach at the rink—one who already hates Parker for a dumb mistake he made years ago. A mistake he made with the help of Coach Foster's daughter, Mackenzie.
Kenzie Foster loves hockey, too, and she's a ruthless goalie. If only her dad hadn't forbidden her from playing—not that she'd want to be on any team with that arrogant jerk Parker Darling. She can't believe she's stuck on the bench at a new school, watching the Devils struggle to win without the force of all three Darling brothers.
Parker hates losing, and when the Devils' star goalie gets injured, he knows he has to step up and lead the team back to greatness. Kenzie, meanwhile, sees a wide-open net and an unused uniform just waiting to prove her dad wrong. They'll need to work together to reach their goals—without getting too close to making another big mistake.
Centrists of the World Unite!
We live in an age of extremes: populist leaders are setting the agenda, autocracies are on the march, and the liberal establishment is a bewildered blob, devoid of new ideas or fresh solutions. Having once powered progress in the form of democracy, mass welfare and defeating totalitarianism, liberals have the power to save the world again – but only if they rediscover the lost genius of their creed.
Guiding us skilfully and entertainingly through the intellectual, cultural and political histories of liberalism, this book lays out a centrist agenda for today’s problems. It reminds us of the dynamism and fixed principles that have shaped the successes of liberalism and warns us against splitting into sub-groups that fail to grapple with the common good. Wooldridge proposes that, as well as reviving social mobility, liberals today need to be much more critical of big business – particularly if it makes money by manipulating choices and spreading misinformation – and rethink the laissez-faireapproach to immigration, social disorder, and substance abuse.
A powerful call to action, Centrists of the World Unite! shows us how liberals of all parties and none can come together in defending the values of liberal civilization from enemies without and within.

Hooked
Eriko really wouldn't mind being savaged, if it was her best friend doing the savaging … Eriko's life appears perfect – devoted parents, spotless apartment and a job in the seafood division of one of Japan's largest trading companies. Her latest project, to reintroduce the controversial Nile perch fish into the Japanese market, is characteristically ambitious.
But beneath her flawless surface she is wracked by loneliness. Eriko becomes fascinated with a popular blog written by a housewife, Shoko. Shoko’s posts about eating convenience store food and her untidy home are the opposite of the typical Japanese housewife’s manicured lifestyle.
When Eriko tracks Shoko down at her favourite restaurant and befriends her, Shoko is at first charmed by her new companion. But as Eriko’s obsession with Shoko deepens, her increasingly possessive behaviour starts to raise suspicion. As Eriko’s carefully laid plans begin to unravel, how far will she go to hold on to the best friend that she’s ever had?
Beautifully translated by Polly Barton, Hooked is a thrilling and unsettling story of the line between friendship and dangerous obsession.
A delicious exploration of food, loneliness and womanhood in contemporary Japan, Hooked brings together all the ingredients for which Asako Yuzuki is so adored.
The Cost of Living
Idealistic Alexandra is throwing a party to meet a more glamorous crowd. Marianne, more sardonic, worries it’ll be the usual sort.
The party is in Alexandra’s attic flat. Marianne will contribute a few bottles of red optimistically labelled Bordeaux. Can it be judged a success? There’s Donald the bus conductor with high-brow dreams, nervous bespectacled Bernhardt and Marius the ghostwriter. Not to mention a brace of Peters. It’s left to sexy, young Pisa and riotous, middle-aged Mummy (neither invited) to steal the show.
Yet, after the party both Marianne and Alexandra find themselves caught in unexpected – sometimes far from romantic – relationships. Meeting people, it turns out, has the most peculiar consequences.
Is that really the cost of living?

The Daffodil Days
'Deeply researched and utterly convincing' Melissa Harrison, Guardian'Not a word is out of place. Full of understated lyricism ... an exquisite and spellbinding debut' Heather Clark, author of Red Comet 'Luminous ... Helen Bain's prose is exact and alive, and the novel builds with a quietly devastating inexorable force you can't look away from' Paula McLain, author of The Paris WifeIn the early 1960s, in a small town near Dartmoor, the church bells ring. The people of North Tawton go about their days, catching glimpses of one another’s lives. There’s the local GP, who knows more about his patients than he would sometimes prefer. There’s the young shop assistant at Kestrels, who understands that the ladies who come there for a new outfit sometimes hope to find a new self. There’s the tenant farm labourer who rings the tower bells at the church three times a week, the notes – harmonious and clashing – rippling out across the rooftops of the town. Amid all these lives, a young couple move into focus. New to the town with their small daughter, they have escaped London for a quieter existence in the thatched house beside the church, Court Green. The life they intend to build here – out of fresh lino tiles, second-hand furniture painted with hearts and flowers, and expertly-cooked suppers for weekend guests – will be a good and happy one. The Daffodil Days depicts a pivotal year in the marriage of 20th-century literature’s most infamous couple, witnessed by the people they lived among. It is a kaleidoscopic portrait of this enigmatic pair, refracted through the rich inner lives of a rural community caught – if only for a moment – in their light.
