Rodinnou štafetu ve firmě má po svém dědečkovi Murdovi převzít Morag, ale mladou pilotku mnohem víc láká svět a velká dopravní letadla a chystá se se svým přítelem přijmout nabídku pracovat pro dubajské aerolinky. Dědeček však onemocní a Morag se musí vrátit do přímořského městečka Corso, aby ho zastoupila a zase na čas přepravovala ornitology, farmáře, horaly a maminky s dětmi k lékaři. Během nouzového přistání skončí na nejmenším z ostrůvků, Inchbornu, a musí vzít zavděk společností (a přístřeším) jediného obyvatele ostrova, samotářského vědce z Glasgow jménem Gregor.

Na kopci nad vesnicí, přímo na břehu jezera Loch Ness, stojí velké panské sídlo, v němž žije osamělý muž se třemi dětmi, od kterých právě v slzách utekla už šestá chůva. Daleko na jihu se svobodná matka Zoe zuby nehty snaží uživit sebe a svého čtyřletého němého syna. Pak ovšem přijde dopis oznamující zvýšení nájmu a Zoe nezbývá než sbalit sebe i syna a odjet do Skotska, kde přijme místo Nininy pomocnice a au pair ve strašidelném domě. Je ale vůbec možné zapadnout do tak úzce semknuté komunity, nahradit milovanou knihkupkyni, a navíc zvládnout tři nezvladatelné děti, které o její péči ani v nejmenší nestojí? A kam se vlastně poděla jejich matka? Knihkupectví u jezera je volným pokračováním Pojízdného krámku snů. Je to příběh o naději, víře, lásce a o tom, že štěstí může člověk najít i tam, kde by je vůbec nečekal.

Carmen táhne na třicet a už od školy pracuje v oddělení galanterie omšelého obchodního domu v malém skotském městečku na pobřeží, kde od narození žije. Když obchod stejně jako mnoho dalších před ním zavře, Carmen se musí potupně vrátit do svého dětského pokojíčku k rodičům. Má oprávněně pocit, že selhala, o to víc nesnáší svou dokonalou starší sestru, úspěšnou právničku, která se třemi rozmazlenými dětmi a čtvrtým na cestě žije v Edinburghu. Ironií osudu je to právě snobská Sofia, kdo jí, (byť ne zcela dobrovolně a nezištně na zoufalé naléhaní jejich matky, která chce, aby se sestry usmířily) podá pomocnou ruku. Carmen se má ujmout krachujícího knihkupectví, které vlastní starý pan McCredie, jeden ze Sofiiných klientů, a do Vánoc ho postavit na nohy. Carmen čeká vskutku sisyfovský úkol. Knihkupectví sice stojí na nádherném místě, v samém srdci historického Edinburghu, ale spíš než obchod připomíná pavučinami opředený strašidelný zámek. Navzdory tomu všemu má své skryté kouzlo a ukrývá pod letitými nánosy mnohá tajemství a poklady. Dokáže Carmen vdechnout obchodu nový život a přilákat do něj před Vánoci dostatek zákazníků? Co se stane, když se o knihkupectví - a o Carmen - náhle začne zajímat slavný a charismatický autor? A bude vánoční atmosféra stačit na to, aby Carmen našla cestu k sestře a jejím dětem?

Říkalo se, že každý Angličan je ostrov. Tak nějak sám za sebe. Přinejmenším na přelomu 60. a 70. let to neplatilo, stejně jako ve většině zemí euroamerické civilizace. Také mladá generace konzervativní Anglie se zapojila do vlny hippies, multikulturalismu, protestům proti tradičním hodnotám establishmentu a válkám, které ani po té druhé světové v mnoha koutech světa neskončily. Právě v té době přijel do ostrovního království československý student architektury Milan Pitlach a fotil. Stovky, možná tisíce černobílých snímků, zachycujících realitu kolem něj. Nejen tu poetickou v třetí, stejnojmenné, části jeho nejnovější fotografické publikace, v níž dominuje atmosféra tehdejších velkých hudebních festivalů evokujících sto let staré motto francouzských revolucionářů - volnost, rovnost, bratrství. Důležitější než tahle třešnička na dortu je ale možná první oddíl Pitlachovy fotoknihy, nazvaný Ulice. V něm totiž se vší syrovostí zachytil prostředí, z něhož velká část květinových dětí pocházela. Bezútěšnost čtvrtí a zákoutí, kam turisté nechodí, vybydlené bloky domů nebo jen oprýskané zdi s nápisy typu Ježíš byl bezdomovec… Bez lidí, s lidmi - těžko říct, které z nich jsou sugestivnější tíživou bezradností bytí. Oba tyto světy pak spojuje druhý oddíl s víceznačným názvem Tráva, byť fotografie v něm jsou jednoznačné. Rámec knihy tvoří první a poslední dvě fotografie, paradoxně z téhož roku. Na 160 stranách mezi nimi je zachycen dokument slavné doby ve slavném Albionu. Dokument, který leccos připomene i těm, kteří tehdy a tam nebyli.

Called a 'riveting study' by the Daily Telegraph and 'a compelling tale' by the Economist, The Red Hotel tells the story of forgotten correspondents and translators in Stalin's Russia and the gilded cage of the Metropol Hotel. Reporters. Translators. Lovers. Spies. In THE RED HOTEL: THE UNTOLD STORY OF STALIN'S PROPAGANDA WAR, former Daily Telegraph Foreign Editor and Russia expert Alan Philps sets out the way Stalin created his own reality by constraining and muzzling the British and American reporters covering the Eastern front during the war and forcing them to reproduce Kremlin propaganda. War correspondents were both bullied and pampered in the gilded cage of the Metropol Hotel. They enjoyed lavish supplies of caviar and had their choice of young women to employ as translators and to share their beds.While some of these translators turned journalists into robotic conveyors of Kremlin propaganda, others were brave secret dissenters who whispered to reporters the reality of Soviet life and were punished with sentences in the Gulag. Through the use of British archives and Russian sources, the story of the role of the women of the Metropol Hotel and the foreign reporters they worked with is told for the first time. This revelatory story will finally lift the lid on Stalin's operation to muzzle and control what the Western allies' writers and foreign correspondents knew of his regime's policies to prosecute the war against Hitler's rampaging armies from June 1941 onwards.
