Cleopatra and Frankenstein
New York is slipping from Cleo's grasp. Sure, she's at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn't even have money for cigarettes. But then she meets Frank. Twenty years older, Frank's life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo's lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art-and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He is everything she needs right now.
Cleo and Frank run head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up with. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them, whether that's Cleo's best friend struggling to embrace his gender identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank's financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut off. Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside of a New Year's Eve party changes everything, for better or worse.
Cleopatra and Frankenstein is an astounding and painfully relatable debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire lives and those imperfect relationships born of unexpectedly perfect evenings.

Lásky pani Ozoresovej
Ústrednou témou prvého slovenského prekladu románu významného predstaviteľa španielskeho realizmu 19. storočia je cudzoložstvo. Protagonistkou je krásna Anna Ozoresová, dcéra schudobneného šľachtica a talianskej modistky, ktorá zanechá štvorročnú dcérku. Autor situoval dej do Staromesta (v skutočnosti hlavného mesta astúrskej provincie Ovieda). Po nevinnom priateľstve s rybárskym chlapcom Annu nespravodlivo podozrievajú zo skazenosti. Dospievajúca hrdinka prežíva krízu, ale márne hľadá útechu v čítaní náboženskej literatúry a v pohrúžení sa do náboženskej mystiky. Preložil Vladimír Oleríny.

V každej fotografii je totiž skrytý kus duše jej autora, ktorá si pamätá jej príbeh. Ak sa do nej zahľadíte, ona vám ho rozpovie. Čarovne!

Daisy Jones and The Six
From the author of CARRIE SOTO IS BACK, THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO and the bestselling MALIBU RISING
Everybody knows Daisy Jones and the Six.
From the moment Daisy walked barefoot on to the stage at the Whisky, she and the band were a sensation.
Their sound defined an era. Their albums were on every turntable. They played sold-out arenas from coast to coast.
Then, on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.
They were lovers, friends, brothers. But they were also rivals.
This is the story of their legendary rise and irrevocable fall. A story of ambition, desire, heartbreak and music.
Everyone was there. Everyone remembers it differently. Nobody knew why they split. Until now...
