This is Britain as you've never seen it. This is Britain as it has never been told. From Newcastle to Cornwall, from the birth of the twentieth century to the teens of the twenty-first, Girl Woman Other follows a cast of twelve characters on their personal journeys through this country and the last hundred years. They're each looking for something - a shared past, an unexpected future, a place to call home, somewhere to fit in, a lover, a missed mother, a lost father, even just a touch of hope . . .

Genre/Form

Powieść psychologiczna

A haunting tale of human resilience and hope in the face of unrelieved horror, Camus' iconic novel about an epidemic ravaging the people of a North African coastal town is a classic of twentieth-century literature and a timeless story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence. It starts with the rats. Vomiting blood, they die in their hundreds, then in their thousands. When the rats are all gone, the citizens begin to fall sick. Like the rats, they too die in ever greater numbers. The authorities quarantine the town. Cut off, the terrified townspeople must face this horror alone. Some resign themselves to death or the whims of fate. Others seek someone to blame, or dream of revenge. One is determined to escape. But a few, like stoic Dr Rieux, stand together to fight the terror. A monstrous evil has entered their lives but they will never surrender.

Powieść

When 'The Awakening' was first published in 1899, charges of sordidness and immorality seemed to consign it into obscurity and irreparably damage its author's reputation. But a century after her death, it is widely regarded as Kate Chopin's great achievement. Through careful, subtle changes of style, Chopin shows the transformation of Edna Pontellier, a young wife and mother, who - with tragic consequences - refuses to be caged by married and domestic life, and claims for herself moral and erotic freedom. źródło opisu: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/308826/the-awakening/9780241341421.html

Powieść obyczajowa Komedia

According to her own complex moral calculations, Katie Carr has earned her affair. She's a doctor, after all, and doctors are decent people, and on top of that, her husband David is the self-styled angriest man in Holloway. But when David suddenly becomes good - properly, maddeningly, give-away-all-his-money good - Katie's sums no longer add up, and she is forced to ask herself some very hard questions. Nick Hornby's brilliant new novel, a No. 1 bestseller in the UK and Ireland, offers a painfully funny account of modern marriage and parenthood, and asks that most difficult of questions: what does it mean to be good?

Powieść

Lucy married just the sort of man you might expect: a university graduate who runs his own business. Unfortunately he turned out to have serious dependency issues. Joseph is shaking off the memory of his last date, a girl who ticked all the right boxes and also drove him up the wall. On an average Saturday morning in a butcher's shop in North London, Lucy and Joseph meet on opposite sides of the counter. She is a teacher and mother of two, with a past she is trying to forget; he is an aspiring DJ with a wide-open future that maybe needs to start becoming more focused. Lucy and Joseph are opposites in almost all ways. Can something life-changing grow from uncommon ground? Nick Hornby's brilliantly observed, tender and brutally funny new novel gets to the heart of what it means to fall headlong in love with the best possible person - someone who may not be just like you at all.

Książka w języku angielskim. "Najdroższa Cecilio! Jeśli czytasz ten list, to znaczy, że nie żyję. Wyobraź sobie, że twój mąż napisał do ciebie list, który ma zostać otwarty dopiero po jego śmierci. List, który skrywa jego najmroczniejszy sekret - tajemnicę mogącą zniszczyć nie tylko życie, które budowaliście we dwoje, ale też życie innych ludzi. A potem wyobraź sobie, że natykasz się na ten list, kiedy twój mąż wciąż jest cały i zdrowy... Cecilia Fitzpatrick osiągnęła wszystko, o czym można zamarzyć - jest rzutką bizneswoman, podporą lokalnej społeczności, oddaną żoną i matką. Jej życie jest równie uporządkowane i nieskazitelne jak jej dom. Jednak ten list odmieni wszystko, nie tylko w jej przypadku: Rachel i Tess ledwie ją znają, a jednak również odczują dramatyczne następstwa tajemnicy jej męża. Na ile jesteśmy w stanie poznać naszych najbliższych? Jak dobrze tak naprawdę znamy siebie samych? Jakie konsekwencje mogą za sobą pociągnąć nasze tajemnice i czy ich dochowywanie jest zawsze słuszne?..."
