An ingenious locked room thriller with a stunning twist, confirming Nicci French as ‘the giant of the genre, upon whose shoulders other writers stand' ( Erin Kelly )

It was a dynasty with more wealth, passion, and power than the houses of Windsor, Kennedy, and Rockefeller combined. It shaped all of Europe and controlled politics, scientists, artists, and even popes, for three hundred years. It was the house of Medici, patrons of Botticelli, Michelangelo and Galileo, benefactors who turned Florence into a global power center, and then lost it all. The House of Medici picks up where Barbara Tuchman's Hibbert delves into the lives of the Medici family, whose legacy of increasing self-indulgence and sexual dalliance eventually led to its self-destruction. With twenty-four pages of black-and-white illustrations, this timeless saga is one of Quill's strongest-selling paperbacks.

Introduction and Notes by Janet Beer, Manchester Metropolitan University. The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, aged 29, beautiful, impoverished and in need of a rich husband to safeguard her place in the social elite, and to support her expensive habits - her clothes, her charities and her gambling. Unwilling to marry without both love and money, Lily becomes vulnerable to the kind of gossip and slander which attach to a girl who has been on the marriage market for too long. Wharton charts the course of Lily's life, providing, along the way, a wider picture of a society in transition, a rapidly changing New York where the old certainties of manners, morals and family have disappeared and the individual has become an expendable commodity. The House of Mirth was published in October 1905 to widespread critical acclaim. It became an instant bestseller and is regarded today as one of Edith Wharton's most accomplished and compelling social satires.

Dopo due anni dalla morte della sorella Fiona, la strega Saika è pronta a eseguirne le ultime volontà e a portare i suoi resti ad Ash Gardens. Quando giunge al santuario, perennemente battuto dalla pioggia, viene accolta dal suo proprietario, amante dei cardigan fatti a maglia, un'enorme bestia mitologica di nome Frank, che le offre di fermarsi qualche tempo nella tenuta. Sopraffatta dal dolore, Saika accetta, anche perché ciò significa poter rimandare l'ultimo addio alla sorella. Ma per dare una mano a Frank e agli altri abitanti della casa deve fingere di possedere ancora i propri poteri, svaniti alla morte di Fiona, limitandosi a lanciare piccoli incantesimi grazie a un frammento di stella cadente. Col tempo, Saika impara a conoscere meglio Frank, la casa decrepita di Ash Gardens e i singolari personaggi che la popolano, tra cui due litigiosi gemelli cherubini, un fantasma muto, una fata della luce, un elfo irascibile e una snervante strega a metà. Pian piano, imparerà di nuovo cosa significhi amare ed essere amata e come far convivere dentro di sé la gioia e il dolore. contributori TR Paola Molica LE Giulia Amato

Despite the heavy clumsiness of her lines, the Aorai handled easily in the light breeze, and her captain ran her well in before he hove to just outside the suck of the surf. The atoll of Hikueru lay low on the water, a circle of pounded coral sand a hundred yards wide, twenty miles in circumference, and from three to five feet above high-water mark. On the bottom of the huge and glassy lagoon was much pearl shell, and from the deck of the schooner, across the slender ring of the atoll, the divers could be seen at work. But the lagoon had no entrance for even a trading schooner. With a favoring breeze cutters could win in through the tortuous and shallow channel, but the schooners lay off and on outside and sent in their small boats.

Behind the walls of Hever Castle history was being made ... but who was watching? When nobleman Thomas Boleyn, lord of Hever Castle, is called to London in 1509 to present himself to a newly anointed King Henry VIII, he sets in train events that ensure the Boleyn name will never be forgotten. Years later, as Henry VIII relentlessly pursues Thomas' daughter Anne Boleyn to be his queen, Hever Castle becomes her escape, a place where her trusted attendants and her father must advise, protect and support her. Lavish gifts are sent by the King and the Boleyn family is given ever greater prominence at court, their glory shining over everything and everyone. Until ambition turns the family on itself, enemies outside the castle circle closer and danger begins to stalk the corridors of Hever. And as Henry's gaze moves elsewhere when Anne cannot give him the heir he so desperately seeks, the family faces a terrible, bloody fate. But as long as Hever still stands, hope still exists. Combining drama, danger and passion, Tracy Borman brings the Boleyn family's three-decade rise and precipitous fall to vivid life using their world at Hever, family and servants alike, as never written before. The result is a powerful and emotional novel of family, fate and history. 'The ever-entertaining Tracy Borman adds a sprinkle of speculative spice to the familiar story of whip-smart Anne Boleyn's undoing' DAILY MAIL 'A fresh and intriguing take on Boleyn's story ... Borman's deep knowledge of her characters, of how they lived and loved, is evident in every line. This is an Anne to cherish' THE TIMES
