ČTYŘI PŘÍBĚHY. ČTYŘI PŘÍPADY. JEDNO SPOJENÍ. TIM WEAVER JE ZPĚT A DAVID RAKER TAKÉ... Pro Conisterovy to byl večer jako každý jiný, dokud Paul nevyšel po schodech do prvního patra. Dlouho se nevracel, a tak se Maggie, jeho manželka, vydala nahoru za ním. U postele našla jeho telefon a peněženku, všechna okna byla zamčená zevnitř. Po Paulovi se slehla zem. Soukromý vyšetřovatel David Raker se specializuje na pátrání po pohřešovaných osobách a ví, že každé zmizení – jakkoli nepravděpodobné se zpočátku zdá – má logické vysvětlení. Ani ve snu by ho ale nenapadlo, že ho případ Paula Conistera dovede hned ke třem dalším záhadám. Co spojuje hrozivý objev v londýnském metru, znovu otevřený odložený případ, z něhož záhadně zmizel klíčový svědek, a zdánlivě náhodou střelbu, k níž došlo tisíce kilometrů daleko? Klíčem k nalezení pravdy bude právě David Raker.

This extraordinary debut heralds the arrival of a major new talent.In After You Were, I Am, charged moments from history collide with our own godless modern world. The book’s three sections – ingenious rewritings of canonical prayers, dramatic monologues from the Pendle witch trials of 1612, and the divine tragedy of the Elizabethan magus John Dee – obsess over individual human characters and how our past informs (and informs on) our present. Ralphs’s style is utterly distinctive; she is a modern metaphysical, tapping into a haunting, era-spanning utterance enlivened by the electric pulse of wordplay and imaginative conceit. This is poetry that in comprehending the past manages to make of it something utterly original and contemporary.‘Historical figures inspired two distinctive debuts: Elizabeth I’s court magician John Dee is ventriloquised with dizzying wordplay in Camille Ralphs’s metaphysical After You Were, I Am (Faber, £10.99)’ Telegraph, Best Poetry of 2024 ‘Ralphs’s mischievous, metaphysical debut riffs on great religious poets, revisits the victims of the Pendle Witch Trials and explores the life of Elizabethan conjuror John Dee.

Congrats Dude! Your go-to-guy-guide to being the greatest dad before her due-date. There are approximately 3,712 ways for a guy to look stupid during pregnancy - this book''s here to help you avoid all(most) of them. And here''s your first hint: Focus on what you can be doing for her rather than what''s happening to her. She''s pregnant. She knows that. You know that. And her 152 baby books tell her exactly what she can expect. Your job is to learn what you can do between the stick turning blue and the drive to the delivery room to make the next nine months go as smoothly as possible. That''s where John Pfeiffer steps in. Like any good coach, he''s been through it. He''s dealt with the morning sickness and doctor visits, painting the baby''s nursery and packing the overnight bag, choosing a name, hospital, and the color of the car-seat cover. All the while he remained positive and responsive - there with a "You''re beautiful" when necessary - but assertive during the decision-making process (he didn''t want to wind up with a kid named Percy). And now it''s your turn. She might be having the baby, but you have plenty of responsibilities.

From bestselling children’s author Marianne Richmond comes a powerful memoir about overcoming a mother’s emotional neglect and finding the courage to reclaim the story of your life.“In her beautiful memoir, Richmond bravely finds her way through a legacy of emotional trauma, pulling us into her courageous, tender heart while bringing us closer to our own…a stunning story.”—Kelly McDaniel, LPC, author of Mother HungerAt nine years old, Marianne Richmond’s life is upended when she collapses on her kitchen floor with full-body convulsions. “Pinched nerve,” says the ER doctor, a baffling explanation. But when one episode becomes many, it’s clear something is wrong. Afraid to be at school, in her body and in her life, Marianne desperately hopes for help and healing. But her emotionally unavailable mother—still reeling from her own past trauma—refuses medication on Marianne''s behalf, preferring to try prayer and homeopathy. At age 18, a full-body seizure in Marianne’s dorm room leads her to a diagnosis, medication, and—at long last—neurological intervention. Physically, Marianne feels “fixed,” but emotional healing proves more elusive. In the years to come, Marianne becomes a parent herself, and writes a new story for her life. She authors children’s books that touch millions of lives, each of them celebrating a mother’s unconditional love for her children. A love her own heart still longs to know. When her mother becomes ill, Marianne has a choice to make: will she be present for the mother who rarely felt present to her?If You Were My Daughter is a story of learning to hear your own voice, of one daughter’s return to wholeness, and ultimately, a story of accepting that, despite all hope and longing, a mother’s “best I could” can still fall far too short. Most of all, Marianne Richmond illuminates how the stories we’re born into shape the ones we tell about ourselves—and reminds us that we have the powerful permission to develop a new relationship with what is difficult in our lives, to fully choose and embody who we are meant to be.
