Heartbreak Hotel

Moggach Deborah, 2013

At Myrtle House, the twin beds have never been so busy... The irrepressible Russell 'Buffy' Buffery has upped sticks from London and moved to a decrepit B&B in rural Wales. He needs to fill the beds, and what better way than with 'Courses for Divorces', his new money-making wheeze. Those checking in include: Harold, whose wife has run off with a younger woman; Amy, who's been unexpectedly dumped by her (not-so) weedy boyfriend and Andy, the hypochondriac postman whose girlfriend is much too much for him to handle. Under Buffy's tutelage, these casualties of the marriage-go-round find themselves re-learning all those skills never thought they'd need again, and a whole lot more besides... Подробнее

Five Days

Kennedy Douglas, 2013

Laura is in the throes of a midlife crisis. Her twenty year marriage has flatlined and her husband, Dan, has become a stranger to her since losing his job eighteen months ago. So when she is invited to a weekend conference in Boston, she jumps at the opportunity. While checking in she gets talking with a man she immediately characterises as grey and uninspired. His name is Richard Coleman. He's a fifty something insurance salesman, also from Maine, also in Boston for the weekend. But when a chance meeting later that evening brings them together again, Laura begins to discover another man beneath the salesman facade: smart, animated and surprisingly literate. Two lonely people meet by chance in a city not their own. Two people desperate for a connection, yet terrified of the implications. In his remarkable new novel, Douglas Kennedy takes the premise of a brief encounter and turns it into a hugely compelling exploration of how and why we fall in love, and the way in which the entire trajectory of a life can change thanks to the music of chance. A profoudly moving love story that inspires tears and serious rumination, Five Days speaks directly to the manifold contradictions of the human heart. Подробнее

Joseph Anton

Rushdie Salman, 2013

From the author of The Satanic Verses and Midnight's Children, which was awarded the Best of the Booker Prize in 1993, comes an unflinchingly honest and fiercely funny account of a life turned upside-down. On Valentine's Day, 1989, Salman Rushdie received a telephone call from a BBC journalist that would change his life forever: Ayatollah Khomeini, a leading Muslim scholar, had issued him with a death sentence. This is his own account of how he was forced to live in hiding for over a decade; at once intimate and explosive, this is the personal tale behind the international story. How does a man live with the constant threat of murder? How does he continue to work when deprived of his freedom? How does he sustain friendships, or fall in and out of love? How does he fight back? For over a decade, Salman Rushdie dwelt in a world of secrecy and disguise, a world of security guards and armoured cars, of aliases and code names. In Joseph Anton, Rushdie tells the remarkable story of one of the crucial battles, in our time, for freedom of speech. It is shortlisted for the James Tait Black Biography Prize. Подробнее

A Week in December

Faulks Sebastian, 2010

London, the week before Christmas, 2007. Over seven days, we follow the lives of seven major characters: a hedge fund manager trying to bring off the biggest trade of his career; a professional footballer recently arrived from Poland; a young lawyer with little work and too much time to speculate; a student who has been led astray by Islamist theory; a hack book-reviewer; a schoolboy hooked on skunk and reality TV; and, a Tube train driver whose Circle Line train joins these and countless other lives together in a daily loop. With daring skill, the novel pieces together the complex patterns and crossings of modern urban life. Greed, the dehumanising effects of the electronic age and the fragmentation of society are some of the themes dealt with in this savagely humorous book. The writing on the wall appears in letters ten feet high, but the characters refuse to see it — and party on as though tomorrow is a dream. Sebastian Faulks probes not only the self-deceptions of this intensely realised group of people, but their hopes and loves as well. As the novel moves to its gripping climax, they are forced, one by one, to confront the true nature of the world they inhabit. Подробнее
