V Michiganu je třešňová sezóna. Lara a její tři dcery mají plné ruce práce. Ale… vlastně je všechno jinak. Maisie a Nell mají být na univerzitě a třešně mají česat námezdní dělníci. Jenže se píše rok 2020 a ve světě zuří první vlna pandemie covidu 19. Lara je ale šťastná, farmaje svět sám pro sebe a ona má nečekaně celou rodinu zase pohromadě. A při česání dcerám vypráví o jednom létě kdysi dávno, o létě, které strávila u divadelní společnosti u jezera Tom s pozdější hollywoodskou hvězdou Peterem Dukem. Jezero Tom je nenápadné vyprávění o velkých věcech. O zamilování, o lásce, o divadle i environmentálním žalu. A také je oslavou rodiny a místa - farmy v Michiganu, s třešňovým sadem a hřbitůvkem na kopci, kde jednou všichni skončí. Ann Patchettová je mistrná vypravěčka, napětí střídají emoce, nostalgii nečekané dějové zvraty. A jedno je jisté, všichni bychom chtěli být u jezera Tom. Anebo česat třešně. Lara zažila obojí.

Sedmdesát osm let netušil, že existují strážní andělé. Pak zjistil, že jsou tu s námi a co je jejich úkolem. A nakonec si s tím svým i popovídal. Richard Bach, oblíbený autor světového bestselleru Jonathan Livingston Racek, se na podzim svého života rozhodl podělit o obsah těchto hovorů a zpětně sestavit přehled všech životních okamžiků, které by bez svojí strážné andělky nepřežil. Jako poděkování svým čtenářům i svojí strážné andělce.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE HWA GOLD CROWN LONGLISTED FOR THE BRITISH SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION 2021 BEST NOVEL For fans of Matt Haig, Stuart Turton and Bridget Collins comes a sweeping historical adventure from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street 'Original, joyous and horrifying, The Kingdoms is an awe-inspiring feat of imagination and passion which had me in tears by the end' - Catriona Ward Come home, if you remember The postcard has been held at the sorting office for ninety-one years, waiting to be delivered to Joe Tournier. On the front is a lighthouse - Eilean Mor, in the Outer Hebrides. Joe has never left England, never even left London. He is a British slave, one of thousands throughout the French Empire. He has a job, a wife, a baby daughter. But he also has flashes of a life he cannot remember and of a world that never existed - a world where English is spoken in England, and not French. And now he has a postcard of a lighthouse built just six months ago, that was first written nearly one hundred years ago, by a stranger who seems to know him very well. Joe's journey to unravel the truth will take him from French-occupied London to a remote Scottish island, and back through time itself as he battles for his life - and for a very different future.

'I thought I had made myself clear. I want something that conveys her majesty, her bloodline. Do you understand? She is no ordinary mortal. Treat her thus.'Florence, the 1560s. Lucrezia, third daughter of Cosimo de' Medici, is free to wander the palazzo at will, wondering at its treasures and observing its clandestine workings. But when her older sister dies on the eve of marriage to Alfonso d'Este, ruler of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio, Lucrezia is thrust unwittingly into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father to accept on her behalf.Having barely left girlhood, Lucrezia must now make her way in a troubled court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed. Perhaps most mystifying of all is her husband himself, Alfonso. Is he the playful sophisticate her appears before their wedding, the aesthete happiest in the company of artists and musicians, or the ruthless politician before whom even his formidable sisters seem to tremble?As Lucrezia sits in uncomfortable finery for the painting which is to preserve her image for centuries to come, one thing becomes worryingly clear. In the court's eyes, she has one duty: to provide the heir who will shore up the future of the Ferrarese dynasty. Until then, for all of her rank and nobility, her future hangs entirely in the balance.

Louise Glücková získala v roce 2020 Nobelovu cenu za literaturu mj. za „nezaměnitelný básnický hlas, který s prostou krásou zobecňuje individuální existenci“ – a tohle zdůvodnění poroty výtečně vystihuje i její novou básnickou sbírku: mluví se v ní o něčem, co právě zažívá lyrický mluvčí básně, ale zvláštní, těžko pojmenovatelná naléhavost podání jako by z onoho zdánlivě prostého líčení dělala zážitek nadosobní, zážitek, který nás přesahuje, znamená něco podstatného, a my jej s autorkou sdílíme, aniž bychom přesně věděli, proč a jak. Právě v tom je Louise Glücková nejsilnější: její podivuhodně ztišené, intenzivní, dostředivé básně dokážou minuciózně vyjádřit onen napůl bdělý stav mezi snem a zkušeností, ony nezapomenutelné okamžiky prozření, které přijdou jednou dvakrát za život, i každodenní ubíjející banalitu, z níž zdá se neplyne vůbec nic, stejně jako vražednou rutinu milostných vztahů i nástrahy vztahů rodinných, všeprostupující pocit ztráty, vědomí smrtelnosti atd. Činí tak s elegancí, jíž se v americké poezii vyrovná málokdo: jistě Emily Dickinsonová, jistě T. S. Eliot, možná Elizabeth Bishopová, Robert Lowell či Richard Wilbur; tak či onak, její básnický hlas je vskutku „nezaměnitelný“.

'Dazzling. Devastating' Kamila Shamsie 'Stunning... deserves to win prizes' Marian Keyes A stunning new departure for Maggie O'Farrell's fiction, HAMNET is the heart-stopping story behind Shakespeare's most famous play. On a summer's day in 1596, a young girl in Stratford-upon-Avon takes to her bed with a fever. Her twin brother, Hamnet, searches everywhere for help. Why is nobody at home? Their mother, Agnes, is over a mile away, in the garden where she grows medicinal herbs. Their father is working in London. Neither parent knows that one of the children will not survive the week. Hamnet is a novel inspired by the son of a famous playwright. It is a story of the bond between twins, and of a marriage pushed to the brink by grief. It is also the story of a kestrel and its mistress; flea that boards a ship in Alexandria; and a glovemaker's son who flouts convention in pursuit of the woman he loves. Above all, it is a tender and unforgettable reimagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten, but whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays ever written.
