"What a mess, she thought now . . . what a bloody, unholy mess the whole family has got itself into." It's been 25 years since Gus and Monica left England to start a new life in Spain, building a vineyard and wine business from the ground up. However, when Gus suffers a stroke and their idyllic Mediterranean life is thrown into upheaval, it's left to their three grown-up children in London to step in . . . Sebastian is busy running his company with his wife, Anna, who's never quite seen eye-to-eye with her mother-in-law. Katie, a successful solicitor in the city, is distracted by the problems with her long-term partner, Nic, and the secretive lives of their three daughters. And Jake, ever the easy-going optimist, is determined to convince his new wife, Bella, that moving to Spain with their 18-month-old would be a good idea. As the children descend on the vineyard, it becomes clear that each has their own idea of how best to handle their mum and dad, as well as the family business. But as long-simmering resentments rise to the surface and tensions reach breaking point, can the family ties prove strong enough to keep them together?

Two Families. One Proposal. A decision that could pull them apart. The twenty-first novel from the number one bestselling author of City of Friends.

The day Stacey Grant loses her job feels like the last day of her life. Or at least, the only life she'd ever known. For who was she if not a City high-flyer, Senior Partner at one of the top private equity firms in London? As Stacey starts to reconcile her old life with the new - one without professional achievements or meetings, but instead, long days at home with her dog and ailing mother, waiting for her successful husband to come home - she at least has The Girls to fall back on. Beth, Melissa and Gaby. The girls, now women, had been best friends from the early days of university right through their working lives, and for all the happiness and heartbreaks in between. But these career women all have personal problems of their own, and when Stacey's redundancy forces a betrayal to emerge that was supposed to remain secret, their long cherished friendships will be pushed to their limits.

When Slobodan Milosevic declared his intention to refuse counsel and conduct his own defense, it marked a significant moment for international tribunals. Although provisions for self-representation existed in the Nuremberg and Tokyo procedural documents, historical records indicate that these were never formally utilized. This examination delves into the legal foundations of self-representation, assessing them for a unified approach in international criminal procedure. It explores how domestic legal systems have traditionally addressed defendants waiving counsel, the context of the defense provisions from the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, and the treatment of this issue in international human rights law. Additionally, it analyzes what negotiations surrounding relevant rules and treaties reveal about the drafters' intentions. The findings illustrate a complex landscape, characterized by diverging approaches and dissenting opinions that obscure a straightforward path. The procedural mechanisms employed by the ICTY to clarify these issues are innovative yet have proven somewhat ineffective, with defendants often obstructing proceedings, leading to delays and increased costs. Ongoing questions persist regarding the correct interpretation of the law, the management of such trials, and whether future tribunals should adopt a more conservative stance when faced with self-representing defendants.

Za dvě stě let se změnilo naše vyjadřování, společenské zvyklosti, životní styl, přibyly technické vymoženosti, zůstala ale touha po lásce, bezpečí, po blízkosti druhého. Z lásky možná není úniku ani emancipace – ještě že rozum i cit jsou stále s námi!
