A Christmas Carol is the most famous, heart-warming and chilling festive story of them all. In these pages we meet Ebenezer Scrooge, whose name is synonymous with greed and parsimony: ''Every idiot who goes about with "Merry Christmas" on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart''. This attitude is soon challenged when the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, returns from the grave to haunt him on Christmas Eve. Scrooge is then visited in turn by three spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future, each one revealing the error of his ways and gradually melting the frozen heart of this old miser, leading him towards his redemption. On the journey we take with Scrooge we encounter a rich array of Dickensian characters including the poor Cratchit family with the ailing Tiny Tim and the generous and jolly Fezziwig.When Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843 he fashioned an enduring gift to the world, capturing the essence of the love, kindness and generosity of the Christmas season. It is a timeless classic and the story''s uplifting magic remains as potent today as when it was first published.

eBook: ‘A Christmas Sermon’ is an emotional and powerful piece. Written by Stevenson as he recuperated from another lung issue outside New York, he ponders the questions of life, death, morality and man’s place in it all. His prose is beautiful, his pondering interrupted by philosophy and a healthy dose of poetry. It is an emotional read, seeing such a great literary mind facing down the long journey, but *spoiler alert* it ends happily. Stevenson concludes that man’s purpose is "to be honest, to be kind, to earn a little and spend less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence". They are questions we all ask ourselves, questions that can make us feel hopelessly lost, but we aren’t, we’re just figuring things out. This little sermon packs a punch, it is incredibly cathartic pondering the questions of life with one of the greatest literary minds of all time, and as such is perfect reading for anyone.

A contender for my books of the year list'' PRIMA''Bold, brilliant, shocking and shattering'' CHRIS WHITAKEREveryone has heard of Girls.But what happened to the women they became?At the time of her death, the press wrote many things about Ingrid Olssen:She was a brilliant artist. She was a terrible mother to her girls, Mattie and Nora. And that her legacy would live on forever.Even so, it''s unlikely the world will ever see another Ingrid Olssen exhibition - her last request to her daughters was to throw her ashes in the canyon and her paintings in the sea.But as Mattie and Nora reluctantly embark on an all-or-nothing trip to fulfil her wishes, they start to unpick the painful scars of their past.And soon they begin to realise that the ties that bound them, might also break them...Perfect for fans of Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason and Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Vězení Fresnes, rok 1940: Margot, bývalá komorná z luxusní vily na Riviéře, skončí ve vězeňské cele s novinářkou Joséphine. První dostala trest smrti za vraždu, druhá je členkou protinacistického odboje. Když později společně strádají v pracovním táboře, vzájemná náklonnost a důvěra jim pomohou přečkat nejhorší okamžiky. Domů se však vrátí jen jedna z nich.Paříž, současnost: Evie žije s dospívajícím synem v Paříži, kde provozuje obchůdek s vzácnými knihami a botanickými tisky. Život by byl skvělý, jenže ona právě oplakává lásku svého života. Z truchlení ji vytrhne příprava výstavy o manželově pratetě Joséphine Murantové, slavné autorce detektivních románů.Evie se zalíbí myšlenka strávit poslední krásné léto se synem, a tak spolu odjíždějí do Joséphininy vily na Azurovém pobřeží, kterou zdědili. Tam Evie začne rozplétat nitky dávné vraždy a s nimi i málo známý příběh Francouzek, které byly během nacistické okupace vězněny v Německu.Román, který umně splétá minulost s přítomností, je zároveň něžný a jímavý příběh ženského přátelství, obětí, ztrát, ale i příslibů nových lásek.Vychází v překladu Bohumily Kučerové.

Současnost: Když historička Kate Kirbyová z Bostonu obdrží lákavou nabídku napsat článek o „pokladu z Cheapside“ objeveném při stavebních pracích v Londýně na počátku 20. století, tuší, že dostala životní šanci. Nikdo neví, jak nebo proč se šperky a cennosti nedozírné hodnoty dostaly pod povrch zemský.Cesta do Londýna však Kate přinutí zapátrat i v minulosti její vlastní rodiny. Po návratu do rodného Bostonu najde v zápiscích a skicách své prababičky, jež pocházela z rodiny chudých irských imigrantů, náčrtky zlatého knoflíku vykládaného drahými kameny, který se až podezřele podobá knoflíkům z pokladu. Mohla by Kate s pomocí těchto vodítek zjistit něco o životě své prababičky Essie Murphyové, která kdysi ve spěchu opustila Londýn a už se tam nikdy nevrátila?Léto 1912: Essie navštíví svého bratra na staveništi, kde za mizernou mzdu pracuje jako kopáč, právě ve chvíli, kdy krumpáče dělníků prorazily podlahu starého domu. Užaslí muži objeví přenádherný poklad – od otomanských přívěsků přes klenoty z alžbětinské Anglie až po staré šperky, perly, drahokamy… Je možné, že tyto šperky – a především jeden z nich – pomohly Essie a jejím sestrám změnit svůj osud?Kate se spolu s fotografem Marcusem Holtem pustí do pátrání. Obzvlášť ji zajímá příběh malého prstenu zdobeného technikou champlevé s diamantem a zlatých knoflíků vykládaných drahými kameny. Jakou pravdu tyto cennosti skrývají, co se Kate o své rodině dozví? Zdá se, že Katiny představy o vlastním původu i o sobě samé se už brzy ocitnou v ohrožení.

1939: Dvě dívky se potkávají v Šanghaji, známé jako „Paříž Východu“. Nádherná Li, která zde vyrůstala, a Romy – židovské děvče, jež do Šanghaje uprchlo spolu se svými rodiči z nacisty okupované Vídně. Dvojice se rychle spřátelí a za krátkou dobu je prakticky nerozlučná. Mladé kamarádky se spolu pohybují ve dvou odlišných světech: mezi zářivými světly velkoměsta a nádherou francouzské čtvrti i v zanedbaných uličkách přecpaného šanghajského ghetta. Ale i přes jejich silné pouto jsou od sebe nakonec odloučeny odstředivou silou všudypřítomné války.2016: Alexandra odjíždí z Londýna se zlomeným srdcem a vrací se do rodné Austrálie, aby mohla být se svými prarodiči – Romy a Wilhelmem. Po matce jí zůstal jenom nefritový přívěšek ve tvaru lilie. Symbol čiré lásky, pocházející ze Šanghaje. Alexandřin milovaný dědeček umírá a během posledních pár týdnů se spolu s Romy rozhodnou odhalit vnučce rodinná tajemství, která v sobě drželi více než půl století.Pro Alexandru tak začíná objevná cesta omamnými zahradami a trhy Šanghaje, během níž objeví nečekanou pravdu o své rodině. Je odhodlána vydat se ve stopách minulosti, aby poznala vlastní kořeny. Postupně objevuje věci, jež ukazují v úplně novém světle nejen její rodinu, ale i ji samotnou.Nefritová lilie je barvitý, provokativní a krásný příběh o přátelství, mateřství, ceně lásky a síle odříkání a odvahy.
