      Annies wereld stort in als haar zus Kristen omkomt bij een treinongeluk. Eigenlijk zou zij ook in die trein zitten… Annie voelt zich schuldig en zoekt steun bij haar moeder Erika, die op haar beurt in haar werk vlucht. Annie begrijpt niet wat er is gebeurd met haar liefhebbende moeder die altijd op alles raad wist. Erika weet niet hoe ze met het verlies van Kristen om moet gaan. Ze durft Annie niet te laten zien dat ook zij zo haar zwaktes heeft en besluit alleen haar kracht te tonen. Maar Annie kan dit eenzame verdriet niet aan – en verdwijnt. In haar wanhoop denkt Erika weer terug aan haar eigen moeder, die ooit zei: ‘Je moet wat belangrijk is nooit verwarren met wat écht belangrijk is.’ Erika beseft dat ze alles op alles moet zetten om Annie te vinden – voordat ze ook haar tweede dochter verliest.

    • In this spectacular father/son collaboration, Stephen King and Owen King tell the highest of high-stakes stories: what might happen if women disappeared from the world of men? All around the world, something is happening to women when they fall asleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed, the women become feral and spectacularly violent... In the small town of Dooling, West Virginia, the virus is spreading through a women's prison, affecting all the inmates except one. Soon, word spreads about the mysterious Evie, who seems able to sleep - and wake. Is she a medical anomaly or a demon to be slain? The abandoned men, left to their increasingly primal devices, are fighting each other, while Dooling's Sheriff, Lila Norcross, is just fighting to stay awake. And the sleeping women are about to open their eyes to a new world altogether...

    • Set in the extreme landscape of Alaska, THE QUALITY OF SILENCE follows the story of Yasmin and her deaf daughter Ruby. Yasmin arrives in Alaska to be told her husband, Matt, is dead, the victim of a catastrophic accident. Yasmin, unable to accept this as truth, sets out into the frozen winter landscape, taking Ruby with her in search of answers. But as a storm closes in, Yasmin realises that a very human danger may be keeping pace with them. And with no one else on the road to help, they must keep moving, alone and terrified, through an endless Alaskan night. In a story that explores the very limits of human resilience, The Quality of Silence is as much about a mother learning to hear her deaf daughter as it is about their journey across the vastness of Alaska, and proves, once again, that Rosamund Lupton is a storyteller of class and elegance.

      Als een getroebleerd supermodel een dodelijke val maakt vanaf een winters balkon in de Londense wijk Mayfair, wordt aangenomen dat het zelfmoord was. Haar broer twijfelt daaraan en roept de hulp in van privédetective Cormoran Strike. Strike is een invalide oorlogsveteraan – met wonden die zowel fysiek als mentaal zijn – en zijn leven is een puinhoop. De opdracht lost zijn geldproblemen op, maar naarmate hij dieper graaft in de complexe modellenwereld, neemt alles een steeds duisterder wending – en loopt hij zelf steeds meer gevaar... Een intrigerend, elegant mysterie met de atmosfeer van Londen: van de stille straten van Mayfair en de pubs in de steegjes van East End tot de drukte van Soho.

      A BIG NOVEL ABOUT A SMALL TOWN ... When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils ... Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?

      From the author of the internationally bestselling The Blood of Flowers comes a compelling tale of power, loyalty, intrigue, and love set in the royal court of sixteenth-century Iran. While legendary women like Anne Boleyn and Queen Elizabeth I are well-known for their influence in England, the powerful women of the Muslim world often remain overlooked. In this richly crafted narrative, Anita Amirrezvani brings to life Princess Pari Khan Khanoom Safavi, a key figure in the tumultuous court of Iran in 1576. Following the Shah's death without an heir, the court descends into chaos. As the Shah’s daughter and protégé, Princess Pari possesses deep knowledge of state affairs, yet her attempts to restore order spark resentment among the nobility. Alongside her closest adviser, Javaher, a eunuch adept at navigating both the harem and the broader political landscape, she holds a tapestry of secrets that unveils a monumental power struggle. Loosely based on the life of Princess Pari Khan Khanoom, this riveting story explores political intrigue and the unique bond between a princess and a eunuch. Amirrezvani's masterful storytelling immerses readers in a vivid world filled with passionate characters who navigate a Machiavellian game of power, revealing the lengths to which individuals will go to seize their destiny.
