The magnificent first novel in the Devonshire trilogy featuring the unforgettable Chadwick family

Rebecca Bloomwood is now happily married to Luke Brandon, and all her problems seem to be at an end. But suddenly into her life steps ... a sister, of whose existence Becky had hitherto been completely unaware. Becky is only too anxious to welcome her into the bosom of the family. But there is only one snag - she Hates shopping. She is the antithesis of the shopaholic. It all makes for some very difficult family relationships ...

TV financial guru Becky Bloomwood has finally paid off her debts and credit card bills, until her boyfriend, Luke, invites her to accompany him when he moves to New York, and she discovers sample sales, power lunches, and Fifth Avenue.

She thought her life was over, but it hadn't even started . . . When Margot Delacroix dies at forty-two years old, she is sent back to earth as a guardian angel - to herself. Renamed Ruth, she is forced by divine mandate to re-experience and record her biggest mistakes and fiercest regrets from the beginning of her life to her untimely death. Forced from the moment of her birth to witness the cogs of fate and the stuttering engine of free will, Ruth sets out to change the course of her life, and, ultimately, to prevent her premature death. When she realises that the reasons behind her teenage son's descent into drugs and murder lay within her own actions as Margot, she makes a pact with a demon - she will give up her place in Heaven in exchange for the opportunity to save her son from his fate. But the changes she makes result in consequences no one could expect...

The New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author of the Department Q series is back, with a terrifyingly relevant stand-alone novel about an America in chaos. THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR 27 MILLION BOOKS SOLD WINNER OF THE GLASS KEY AWARD "The president has gone way too far. . . . These are practically dictatorial methods we're talking about." When Democratic Senator Bruce Jansen is elected president of the United States, it is a personal victory for Dorothy "Dottie" Rogers. She has secured a job in the White House, has proved to her Republican father that she was right to support Jansen, and is proud to see the rise of an intelligent, inspiring leader who shares her ideals. But the triumph is short-lived: Jansen's pregnant wife is assassinated on election night, and the alleged mastermind behind the shooting is none other than Dottie's own father. When Jansen ascends to the White House, he is a changed man, determined to end gun violence by any means necessary. Rights are taken away as quickly as weapons. Checkpoints and roadblocks destroy infrastructure. The media is censored. Militias declare civil war on the government. The country is in chaos, and Dottie's finds herself fighting for the life of her father, who just may be innocent.

However, when tragedy strikes, Ella's meticulously crafted life unravels.

Most importantly, their seventeen-year-old daughter, Cate, finds her transition to adulthood complicated by the turmoil around her. The narrative explores the intricate web of relationships and the consequences of choices made, leaving readers captivated until the very end.

A sparkling new romantic comedy from the acclaimed author of Amanda's Wedding.

Alice kommt als Tochter chinesisch-kambodschanischer Einwanderer kurz nach deren Ankunft in Melbourne zur Welt und wächst dort zwischen zwei Kulturen auf, wie sie gegensätzlicher nicht sein könnten: hier die strenge Tradition der chinesischen Enklave, Hausgötter, Aberglauben und Alltagszeremonien, dort die Freiheit des westlichen Wunderlands, in dem alles möglich scheint. Schon bald kommt ihr die Welt der Eltern exotischer vor als die neue Heimat, wo der Vater einen Elektrohandel betreibt und sich in Arbeit stürzt, während die Mutter Goldschmuck fertigt und an der neuen Sprache scheitert. Irgendwann gehen Alice die Worte aus, um sich mit ihrer Mutter zu verständigen. Mal ernst und verzweifelt, dann wieder leichtfüßig ironisch entfaltet dieses erzählerische Juwel seinen unwiderstehlichen Charme.
