Story
1917. On a battlefield near the River Aisne, John lies in the aftermath of a blast, unable to move or feel his legs. Struggling to focus his thoughts, he is lost to memory – a chance encounter in a pub by a railway, a hot bath with his lover on a winter night, his childhood on a faraway coast – as the snow falls. 1920. John has returned from war to North Yorkshire, near another river – alive, but not still whole. Reunited with Helena, an artist, he reopens his photography business and endeavours to keep on living. But the past erupts insistently into the present.

Story
The nuns who enter a medieval Norfolk convent are told to renounce the world, but the world still finds ways to trouble them, whether it is through fire, floods, pestilence, a collapsing spire, jealous rivalries, a priest with a secret or a plague of caterpillars. As we follow their daily lives over three centuries, this masterpiece of historical fiction recreates a world run by women.

Story
Herrlich britischer Humor und ein liebenswürdig verpeilter Held. Der Super-Bestseller aus UK. "Mein Name ist Gary. Ich bin dreißig Jahre alt und arbeite in einer Kanzlei in London. Wenn Sie mich träfen, würden Sie mich wahrscheinlich als unscheinbar bezeichnen. Ich hatte einen tollen Draht zu einer Frau entwickelt, doch das flog mir voll um die Ohren und verpasste mir einen Tritt in den Hintern." Gary Thorn lernt im Pub eine Frau kennen. Er ist schockverliebt, nur ihren Namen bekommt er nicht mit. Als sie geht, weiß Gary nichts von ihr außer dem Titel des Buches, das sie las: "Der Satsuma-Komplex".

Story
Ein einsamer Junge auf einer Bank, seine Hand ruht auf einem Kleiderbündel - auf dem Grund eines Schwimmbads liegt ein Mädchen mit offenen Augen: Woher kommen diese Erinnerungen? Die 40-jährige Wissenschaftlerin Ragna fürchtet, verrückt zu werden. Denn die Bilder, die plötzlich in ihrem Kopf auftauchen, kann sie keiner Erinnerung zuordnen. Sie macht sich auf die Suche nach dem - heute erwachsenen - Jungen auf der Bank und seiner Schwester, die nach dem Schwimmunfall zum Sommerkind wurde. Eine zutiefst berührende Geschichte, meisterhaft gelesen von Constanze Weinig.

Story
Melanie Henderson's life is a lie. The scandal of her birth and the identity of her true parents is kept from her family's small, conservative Colorado town. Not even she knows the truth: that her birth mother was just 14 and unmarried to her father, a local boy who drowned when he tried to take a shortcut across an icy river. Thirty-five years later, in Denver, Melanie dabbles in affairs with married men while clinging to a corporate job that gives her life order even as her tenuous relationships fall apart. She still hasn't learned that the woman who raised her is actually her aunt.

Story
Reflexionen dreier betroffener Personen, Vor- und Nachgeschichten zu einem Ereignis, das fast ausgespart bleibt: ein tödlicher Unfall mit Fahrerflucht. Die erste Person ist der Tankwart, der morgens um sechs Uhr von einer Polizeistreife nach einem beschädigten Wagen gefragt wurde. Zu dem Zeitpunkt hatte er schon sämtliche Spuren gelöscht, das Schweigegeld des flüchtigen Fahrers knisterte in seiner Tasche. Die zweite Person ist der Manager, der sich mit Cleverness zum Generaldirektor hinaufgearbeitet hat.
