What happens in London
Olivia Bevelstroke, the only daughter of the Earl of Rudland, is beautiful and has a sizeable dowry. Yet at the age of twenty-one she is still unmarried, causing people to whisper behind her back, 'What is she waiting for? A prince?' But Olivia isn't cold or stuck up, and neither is she a hopeless romantic. She's just waiting for something - or someone. Sir Harry Valentine, a war veteran, is now back in London working in secret for the War Office and keeping an eye on his wayward younger brother. Rumour has it that he killed his fiancee, which intrigues Olivia. She thinks her new next-door neighbour looks the part, and even if he isn't a murderer, he's certainly up to something. Then a real-live Russian prince comes to town, sparking intrigue. He has his eye on Olivia, but so does Harry, who's been ordered to spy on the prince - and thus by extension, Olivia. But will what he finds out about her bring her closer to his heart?

She believes she is ready for the traditional hazing and grueling schedule of a page. But standing in Kel’s way is Lord Wyldon. The training master is dead set against girls becoming knights. He says she must pass a one-year trial that no male page has ever had to endure. It’s just one more way to separate Kel from her fellow trainees. But she is not to be underestimated. She will fight to succeed, even when the test is unfair.

The Museum of Broken Promises
'I ADORE cold-war novels and I live for love stories - The Museum of Broken Promises is a perfect combination of both. It's a gem of a book... beautiful, elegant.' Marian Keyes
_________
Paris, today. The Museum of Broken Promises is a place of wonder and sadness, hope and loss. Every object in the museum has been donated - a cake tin, a wedding veil, a baby's shoe. And each represent a moment of grief or terrible betrayal. The museum is a place where people come to speak to the ghosts of the past and, sometimes, to lay them to rest. Laure, the owner and curator, has also hidden artefacts from her own painful youth amongst the objects on display.
Prague, 1985. Recovering from the sudden death of her father, Laure flees to Prague. But life behind the Iron Curtain is a complex thing: drab and grey yet charged with danger. Laure cannot begin to comprehend the dark, political currents that run beneath the surface of this communist city. Until, that is, she meets a young dissident musician. Her love for him will have terrible and unforeseen consequences.
It is only years later, having created the museum, that Laure can finally face up to her past and celebrate the passionate love which has directed her life.

Orlando (SK)
Mysleli ste si, že príbeh siedmich sestier sa skončil. No hviezdy ešte neodhalili všetky svoje tajomstvá…
Kent, 2009. Excentrický kníhkupec Orlando Forbes je najšťastnejší medzi knihami a po boku Star D’Apli?se. Keď však do jeho kníhkupectva zavíta záhadný návštevník, ktorý pátra po vzácnom prvom vydaní Vianočnej koledy Charlesa Dickensa, Orlando a Star sa vydajú po stope literárneho tajomstva, ktorému jednoducho nedokážu odolať. Kto zanecháva indície, ktoré ich vedú čoraz hlbšie do minulosti? Aké tajomstvo ukrývajú stránky vzácnej knihy?
Londýn, 1835. Eliza Wetherillová má výnimočný spisovateľský talent a túži po živote, ktorý spoločnosť ženám jej doby nedovoľuje. Keď jej nadanie objaví samotný Charles Dickens a otvorí jej dvere do sveta literatúry, Eliza stojí pred rozhodnutím: podriadiť sa tomu, čo sa od nej očakáva, alebo riskovať všetko pre svoje skutočné poslanie?
Keď Orlando so Star odkrývajú príbeh zabudnutý takmer dve storočia, zisťujú, že minulosť ešte nepovedala posledné slovo – a že ani rodina D’Apliese nepozná všetky svoje tajomstvá.
Orlando je atmosférický román o láske, knihách, skrytom autorstve a odvahe vzoprieť sa svetu, ktorý nám určil miesto. Harry Whittaker, spoluautor záverečného dielu Atlas: Príbeh tatka Slaného, otvára novú kapitolu milovaného sveta Lucindy Rileyovej. Vracia sa k postavám zo série Sedem sestier, odhaľuje, kam ich životy zaviedli, a tentoraz rozpráva príbeh muža, ktorého si čitatelia obľúbili už v Tieňovej sestre.

Keď sa pokus francúzskeho odboja zničiť strategicky dôležitú telefónnu ústredňu skončí katastrofou, jej tím je rozprášený a Flick dostáva poslednú šancu dokončiť misiu pred blížiacim sa Dňom D.
Nová misia sa zdá byť takmer nemožná. Flick má len niekoľko dní na to, aby zostavila a vycvičila tím žien, ktoré sa pokúsia preniknúť do telefónnej ústredne a vyradiť ju z prevádzky.

Kavky sú strhujúci špionážny triler z obdobia druhej svetovej vojny, v ktorom Ken Follett majstrovsky spája historické fakty, napätie, nezabudnuteľné postavy a pripomína aj skutočnú úlohu žien, ktoré britská SOE vysielala do okupovanej Európy.

Cudzinci
Dvadsať rokov verila, že pozná muža, za ktorého sa vydala. Potom sa z neho zo dňa na deň stal cudzinec.
Belle Burdenová mala navonok všetko, o čom mnohé len snívajú – milujúceho manžela, tri deti, harmonický domov a život, ktorý pôsobil pokojne a bezpečne. Potom však príde šokujúce odhalenie a jej manžel jej po dvadsiatich rokoch spoločného života oznámi, že odchádza. Muž, ktorého Belle považovala za svoju životnú oporu, sa zo dňa na deň zmení na cudzieho človeka.
Belle sa preto vracia do minulosti a nanovo skladá príbeh svojho manželstva. Hľadá nenápadné signály, ktoré kedysi prehliadala, a pýta sa, ako dobre vôbec môžeme poznať človeka, s ktorým sme prežili polovicu života. Popritom odhaľuje aj vlastné rodinné vzorce a predstavy o tom, aká by mala byť „dobrá žena“ – tichá, trpezlivá a zmierlivá.
Z trosiek života, ktorý považovala za nemenný, však postupne vystupuje iná Belle – odvážnejšia žena, ktorá sa učí dôverovať samej sebe a používať vlastný hlas.
Cudzinci sú mimoriadne úprimné, dojímavé a odvážne memoáre o strate, zrade a hľadaní vlastného hlasu. Belle Burdenová rozpráva svoj príbeh s citlivosťou, ktorá osloví každého, kto sa niekedy musel vyrovnať s rozpadom istôt a znovu objaviť samého seba. Je to kniha o bolesti, ale ešte viac o nádeji, odvahe a o tom, že aj po tých najťažších koncoch môže nasledovať nový začiatok.
