Story
He's the one. Definitely... Isn't he? Everyone dates online these days. If fact, we all know someone who met the one on Tinder...or match.com...or MySingleFriend. But how do you know the person you're falling in love with is who he says he is? And how far would you put your heart on the line to pursue your dream? Holly Johnson decides to fly to the other side of the world to be with the man she'd almost given up hope of meeting.

Story
A Week in December is Sebastian Faulks's first wholly contemporary novel. Set in London, it's a brilliant social satire, structured like a thriller, that takes place over the course of a single week at the end of 2007. It brings together an intriguing cast of characters, each apparently in his or her own world but - as gradually becomes clear - ultimately intricately related.

Story
A luminous and bewitching debut novel that is perfect for fans of Angela Carter. Set in Victorian London, it follows the fortunes of Eve, the Lion-Faced Girl and Abel, the Flayed Man. A magical realism delight. Before Eve is born, her mother goes to the circus. She buys a penny twist of coloured sugar and settles down to watch the heart-stopping main attraction: a lion, billed as a monster from the savage heart of Africa, forged in the heat of a merciless sun.

Story
June Hayward und Athena Liu könnten beide aufstrebende Stars der Literaturszene sein. Doch während die chinesisch-amerikanische Autorin Athena für ihre Romane gefeiert wird, fristet June ein Dasein im Abseits. Niemand interessiert sich für Geschichten "ganz normaler" weißer Mädchen, so sieht es June zumindest. Als June Zeugin wird, wie Athena bei einem Unfall stirbt, stiehlt sie im Affekt Athenas neuestes, gerade vollendetes Manuskript, einen Roman über die Heldentaten chinesischer Arbeiter während des Ersten Weltkriegs.

Story
Un padre ha piantato due alberi davanti alla sua casa, uno per ogni figlio. Il primo, un larice, è Luigi, duro e fragile, che in trentasette anni non se n'è mai andato dalla valle. Lui e Betta si sono innamorati facendo il bagno nelle pozze del fiume, tra le betulle bianche: ora non succede piú cosí di frequente, ma aspettano una bambina e nell'aria si sente il profumo di un nuovo inizio. Lui ha appena accettato un lavoro da forestale, lei viene dalla città e legge Karen Blixen. L'altro albero è un abete: Alfredo è il figlio minore, ombroso e resistente al gelo, irrequieto e attaccabrighe.

Story
Quando la vita chiama, il cuore risponde. Impossibile, però, dare ascolto a questo richiamo quando si è imbottigliati in un'esistenza troppo frenetica, un'esistenza come quella di Lorenzo, che ha sacrificato amicizie e passioni dando corpo e anima alla Londra dell'alta finanza. Non senza fatica, è riuscito a trovare l'onda giusta e a cavalcarla. E ora, eccolo qui: giovane e brillante, una macchina da guerra tirata a lucido e alimentata da adrenalina e ambizione. Ma il carburante si esaurisce. Lorenzo cade e affoga in quell'onda che prima lo teneva in piedi. Ha sopportato troppo, e ora si è spezzato.

Egy, a barátjáért önmagát feláldozó katonatisztet idegenlégiós haláltáborba küldenek. A hely megrendítő víziója a későbbi haláltáborok atmoszférájának. A személyiségüktől és reményeiktől megfosztott áldozatokat, azaz a Csontbrigádot a főhős végül átvezeti az Ajtón, Amely Nem Vezet Sehova, hogy eljussanak a megtalált igazsághoz és az élethez.

Story
Usually, this is where we'd tell you what this book is about. But with Chris Cleave, it's a bit different. Because if you've read The Other Hand or Incendiary, you'll know that what his books are about is only part of the story - what really matters is how they make you feel. Gold is about the limits of human endurance, both physical and emotional. It will make you cry. Gold is about what drives us to succeed - and what we choose to sacrifice for success. It will make you feel glad to be alive.
