Nejlepší kamarádky Maya a Ana tráví léto na odlehlém ostrově a snaží se nechat celý svět za sebou, ale nic nedopadne tak, jak doufaly.

Audiokniha: Nášup emocí od autora, který vás rozveselil i rozplakal romány Muž jménem Ove (Nejlepší audiokniha roku 2014) a Babička pozdravuje a omlouvá se. O třiašedesátileté Britt-Marii někteří tvrdí, že je pasivně agresivní, zpomalená a ukňouraná bába. Když po čtyřiceti letech manželství opustí nevěrného manžela, usadí se ve vesnici Borg, v níž po finanční krizi zůstaly jen cedule s nápisem „Na prodej“ a pizzerie, která je cítit pivem. A fotbal. A také fotbalová přípravka, která nutně potřebuje trenéra. Britt-Marie fotbal nesnáší. V zoufalé situaci však detaily typu ‒ vybraná osoba tu práci opravdu, ale opravdu nechce ‒ nehrají žádnou roli. Stejně jako nehrají roli případné předsudky (ne že by Britt-Marie nějaké měla, to samozřejmě ne). Příběh o druhých šancích, prvních výkopech a o tom, že soda vyčistí skoro všechno.

Audiokniha: Závěrečný díl trilogie z hokejového městečka Medvědín. Po tragických událostech, o kterých nikdo nechce mluvit, udělala medvědínská komunita to, co vždycky – všichni sklonili hlavy a pokusili se jít dál. Po dvou letech se dokonce zdá, že se městu podařilo zacelit dávné rány. U jezera vyrostlo nové hokejové kluziště, Maya Anderssonová a Benji Ovich se vracejí domů a jejich shledání se starými známými je plné radosti a optimismu. Jenže pod povrchem se pořád skrývá něco, co Medvědínu brání posunout se dál. Někdejší rivalita se sousedním Hedem nikam nezmizela, a i když se dříve dařilo spory mezi městečky vyřešit v hokejových kláních, nyní se blíží cosi zlověstného. Napětí mezi komunitami roste a je jen otázkou času, kdy násilí přeroste úměrnou mez. Kdy nenávist vzburcuje k činu. A kdy někdo popadne zbraň a zamíří s ní ke stadionu… Švédský spisovatel Fredrick Backman zakončuje svou sérii ve velkolepém stylu a opět nenechá čtenáře vydechnout. „Backmanovou největší předností je dokonalé pochopení složitosti lidské duše. Jeho postavy jsou plnokrevné charaktery, pro něž máme pochopení a s nimiž soucítíme i v okamžiku, kdy provedou něco zavrženíhodného. Soudit je totiž náramně jednoduché, ale snažit se pochopit a odpustit dá mnohem větší práci.“ – Jindřich Göth, Novinky.cz. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

O tom, jaké je to ztratit klíče od auta a proč musel taťka zabít zpívající plastovou žirafu. Většina této knihy je o snaze být dobrým rodičem.

Malý Noah s dědou chodí sedávat na lavičku a povídají si. Pod lavičkou rostou hyacinty, stejné, jaké děda kdysi pěstoval pro babičku. Děda s Noahem si můžou povídat úplně o všem. O všech otázkách spojených se životem a vesmírem, závažných i nicotných. Při rozhovorech s vnukem si děda vždycky vzpomene, jak se zamiloval do babičky a jak o ni ve stáří přišel. Zatím ji pořád vidí před sebou a děsí se dne, kdy si ji už nebude moci vybavit. Cítí, že jeho svět se mění. Proto by rád zůstal s Noahem na lavičce, kde je stále ještě obklopuje pronikavá vůně hyacintů. Jenže zachytit vzpomínky je čím dál těžší a oba se musejí naučit tomu vůbec nejtěžšímu: umění se rozloučit. Fredrik Backman v této netypické novele líčí boj stárnoucího muže o zachování nejdražších vzpomínek. Činí tak něžně a empaticky, jak to dovede jen on.

Je noc před Štědrým dnem a nemocniční chodbou kráčí žena v šedém, aby si odvedla jednoho z nás. Má s sebou desky se jmény nás všech: pětileté holčičky trpící rakovinou, která maluje svou oblíbenou židličku na červeno, dvacetiletého mladíka leštícího pivní sklenici v milované hospodě, pětačtyřicetiletého muže, který uhání tmou v drahém autě a hledá, do čeho by narazil. Někdo z nás dnes přijde o život, pokud se někdo jiný dobrovolně nevzdá toho svého. Ale nestačí pouze zemřít, protože život není jen to, co právě končí. Život je všechno to, co se stalo předtím. Fredrik Backman umí mistrně vylíčit lidské pochyby a vnitřní démony, aniž ztrácí smysl pro humor. Toto vyprávění je mnohem smutnější než třeba Dickensova Vánoční koleda, ale i zde najdeme naději a možnost všechno napravit - i když za velmi vysokou cenu.

It is Christmas Eve and a father and son are meeting for the first time in years. The father has a story he needs to share before it's too late. As he tells his son about a courageous little girl lying in a hospital bed a few miles away, he reveals even more about himself; his triumphs in business, his failures as a parent, his past regrets, his hopes for the future. Now, on this night before Christmas, the father has been given the unexpected chance to do something remarkable that could change the destiny of a little girl he hardly knows. But before he can make the deal of a lifetime, he must find out what his own life has actually been worth, and only his son can reveal the answer. With humour and compassion, Fredrik Backman's novella The Deal of a Lifetime reminds us that life is a fleeting gift, and our legacies rest in how we share that gift with those we love.

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, the new novel from the author of A Man Called Ove is a “quirky, big-hearted novel….Wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure” (People).Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world. Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None ... Unknown localization key: "more"

From celebrated illustrator Giselle Potter, a beautiful and memorable story about the special bond between a grandparent and a grandchild. Whenever I visit my grandmother Alice, we love sitting together and telling each other stories. My favorite part is when she takes out her box of special things and we pass them back and forth. Each object—a doll, a sketchbook, shells and stones, and more—is a clue to a bigger story: the story of her life before she was my grandmother. Before she was my grandmother, she too was a young girl, with a life very different from my own. Little by little, the stories she tells and the objects she shares from her memory box reveal the many facets of her life, along with her great spirit, with its many colors and tones. Written and illustrated by the award-winning picture book maker Giselle Potter, Before She Was My Grandmother celebrates strong and loving family connections, as well as the little moments and mementos of childhood that we carry with us all our lives—and pass on to the next generation. It’s also a touching reminder of how every life is so much richer and more multifaceted than any single identity ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In his debut novel, longtime observer of culture and politics Fredrik deBoer depicts mental illness in all its grim and ugly reality, free of our culture''s endless romanticization of insanity.In a dorm room at her safety school, surrounded by corn-fed boys and contemptuous girls, Alice is losing her mind. Her first semester is spent clinging to middling grades between drunken hookups and roommate fights. The next brings sleepless nights, extreme weight loss, and effortless, compulsive energy, paused only by an unexpected summoning from the RA for evaluation. Thus begins an endless march of lithium, antidepressants, and Klonopin; doctors and therapists—when health insurance allows—along with overwhelmed parents and well-intentioned friends; all helpless bystanders as Alice descends deeper into chaos.As chilling as a psychiatric case study, as wry and precise as Flaubert, The Mind Reels peels back society''s polite trappings to portray the experience of mental illness in all its complexity.

Humans excel at designing and constructing technological marvels like cars and aeroplanes. Yet, when it comes to the very houses we live in, do we apply the same level of creativity and bold innovation? Or are we too constrained by notions of how we think things ought to be?In this beautiful book, architect and professor Fredrik Lund explores the concept of constructing homes that not only offer a refuge of tranquillity in our hectic, modern lives but also blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Imagine houses with internal gardens, spaces that exist in a liminal state between inside and outside—where being indoors feels like an embrace with nature.Lund presents a unique approach to designing homes, drawing inspiration from the traditional Norwegian outbuildings, barns, and sawmills. He invites the reader into a vibrant world of unexpected delights, masterful woodwork, poetic expression, and an enhanced quality of life nestled in silence. Through his adept use of simple lines, Lund brings these houses to life, making them both accessible and vivid.

A Daily Mail Best History Book of the Year; A Spectator Best Book of the YearIt is generally accepted that Queen Victoria reigned but did not rule. This couldn’t be more wrong.In Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers, Anne Somerset masterfully traces Victoria’s political evolution, from headstrong teenager to seasoned octogenarian. This book demonstrates her passionate involvement in state affairs, and casts fresh light on her relationships with her ten prime ministers.Victoria herself acknowledged that when it came to ‘likes and dislikes’ of her prime ministers, ‘she had them very strongly’. She showed girlish adoration for her first Prime Minister, the worldly-wise Lord Melbourne, whose delightful conversation and kindly guidance enchanted her. Later in her reign, Benjamin Disraeli – who flattered her shamelessly, tirelessly praising her sagacity and judgement and filling her life with ‘poetry, romance and chivalry’ – became her favourite.While she developed a powerful bond with several of her Prime Ministers, in other cases the relationship fell little short of mutual detestation. Victoria’s keenest antipathy was reserved for Disraeli’s great rival, the Liberal William Gladstone. When he became prime minister for a fourth time at the age of 82, Victoria declared it ‘a bad joke’ that this ‘dangerous ... Unknown localization key: "more"

She traces a history of sexual secrecy through four generations of unplanned pregnancies in her own family, stretching from the 1890s to the 1980s and from the West of Ireland to Massachusetts, London and the English countryside, dramatizing the power of secret-keeping as a form of care, particularly between women, but also as violence and exclusion. At the heart of her search is a cousin who went missing from her own family, born in a Mother and Baby Home in the 1950s, and brought up in an institution. Wills asks not only what happened, but why? Why did families consent to the institutional care and control of unmarried mothers and their children? Why did the system make sense to ordinary families, and how can we make sense of it now?
