Presents three stories connected into one narrative about Juliet - who escapes from teaching at a girls' school and throws herself into a wild and passionate love match. This work is about the power and betrayals of love, about lost children, lost chances.
Often compared to Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and Naomi Alderman's The Power - Woman on the Edge of Time has been hailed as a classic of speculative science fiction. Disturbing and forward thinking, Marge Piercy's remarkable novel will speak to a new generation of readers.

'What I've found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany's. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there, not with those kind men in their nice suits . . . ' Meet Holly Golightly - a free spirited, lop-sided romantic girl about town. With her tousled blond hair and upturned nose, dark glasses and chic black dresses, Holly is a style sensation wherever she goes. Her apartment rocks to Martini-soaked parties and she plays hostess to millionaires and gangsters alike. Yet Holly never loses sight of her ultimate dream - to find a real life place like Tiffany's that makes her feel at home. Full of sharp wit and exuberant, larger-than-life characters which vividly capture the restless, madcap era of 1940s New York, Breakfast at Tiffany's will make you fall in love, perhaps for the first time, with a book. 'A master writer . . . makes the heart sing and the narrative fly' The New York Times
Grady - beautiful, rich, flame-haired, defiant - is the sort of girl people stare at across a room. The daughter of an important man, who people want to be introduced to. A girl to whom people sense something is going to happen. But the privileged society life of parties, debutantes and dresses leaves her wanting more than her parents and conventional sister Apple have in mind for her. Excitement comes in the form of the highly unsuitable Clyde, a Brooklyn-born, Jewish parking attendant. And when Grady's mother and father leave her alone for the first time in their New York penthouse one summer, their secret affair intensifies. As a heatwave envelops the city, Grady gets in deeper and deeper and cares less and less about the consequences. Soon, though, she will be forced to make decisions - choices that will forever affect her future once the long, sultry summer of 1945 comes to an end.
