From the bestselling author of The House at Riverton and The Secret Keeper, Kate Morton brings us her dazzling sixth novel, The Clockmaker's Daughter. My real name, no one remembers. The truth about that summer, no one else knows. In the summer of 1862, a group of young artists led by the passionate and talented Edward Radcliffe descends upon Birchwood Manor on the banks of the Upper Thames. Their plan: to spend a secluded summer month in a haze of inspiration and creativity. But by the time their stay is over, one woman has been shot dead while another has disappeared; a priceless heirloom is missing; and Edward Radcliffe's life is in ruins. Over one hundred and fifty years later, Elodie Winslow, a young archivist in London, uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items: a sepia photograph of an arresting-looking woman in Victorian clothing, and an artist's sketchbook containing the drawing of a twin-gabled house on the bend of a river. Why does Birchwood Manor feel so familiar to Elodie? And who is the beautiful woman in the photograph? Will she ever give up her secrets? Told by multiple voices across time, The Clockmaker's Daughter is a story of murder, mystery and thievery, of art, love and loss. And flowing through its pages like a river, is the voice of a woman who stands outside time, whose name has been forgotten by history, but who has watched it all unfold: Birdie Bell, the clockmaker's daughter.

eBook: First published in December 1853, Clotel was written amid then unconfirmed rumors that Thomas Jefferson had fathered children with one of his slaves. The story begins with the auction of his mistress, here called Currer, and their two daughters, Clotel and Althesa.

Escaping from the slave dealer, Clotel returns to Virginia disguised as a white man in order to rescue her daughter, Mary, a slave in her father’s house. A fast-paced and harrowing tale of slavery and freedom, of the hypocrisies of a nation founded on democratic principles, Clotel is more than a sensationalist novel.

eBook:,O ničem se netraduje tolik nepravd a mýtů jako o sexu a nic není spoutáno tolika tabu a zatíženo takovým nepochopením. Náš „západní" svět má sklon na jedné straně degradovat sex na pouhé nezávazné potěšení, na straně druhé jej pokládat za něco hříšného. Oba tyto špatné přístupy mají pak společnou ještě jednu chybnou domněnku. A sice, že tělo a duch stojí v přímém protikladu. Východní kultury ovšem odedávna vědí, že je to právě naopak. Pravda je totiž přímo šokující. Rozhodně ale nejde o žádné nepříjemné odříkání, o vynucený celibát nebo jiné násilné, a tím pádem škodlivé postupy. Před těmi, kteří mají odvahu, vůli a chuť vykročit po cestě vzhůru, odkrývá slavná mystička tajemství přeměny lidské sexuální síly v nejvyšší sílu božskou. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: Ve své poslední knize se francouzská psycholožka věnuje fascinující osobnosti rakouské císařovny Marie Terezie, výjimečné ženy v dějinách, která dokázala skloubit politickou dráhu panovnice mocného státního útvaru a roli matky, úzkostlivě pečující o výchovu svých dětí. Studium historických materiálů v archivech (díky českým šlechtičnám pohybujícím se v okolí císařovny pochází mnoho dokumentů z českých archivů) umožnilo autorce vykreslit obraz Marie Terezie jako důkladné a starostlivé matky, někdy vůči svým dětem i velmi přísné a tvrdě upřímné. Čtenáři se dozví, jaké pokyny Marie Terezie udílela vychovatelům, jak prožívala nemoci svých dětí i které ze svých potomků upřednostňovala s ohledem na zájmy monarchie. Srdce Marie Terezie patřilo jak jejím dětem, jejichž výchova se vymykala dobovým zvyklostem u panovnic a aristokratkám její úrovně, tak monarchii, které vládla. Výchova dětí s ohledem na zájmy Rakouska-Uherska přitom nemohly uniknout častým konfliktům a nevraživostem i mezi potomky, ale nejmocnější vládkyně tehdejší Evropy se je vždy snažila řešit s láskou, diplomacií a noblesou.

Brookes is the real deal' Charles Cumming The stunning third novel from multi-award-nominated author Adam Brookes is paranoid, tense and spy fiction at its very finest. Meet Pearl Tao: an American girl with a lethal secret. Pearl longed for the life of a normal American teenager: summers at the pool, friends, backyard barbecues in the Washington DC suburbs. But she was different. Pearl had a gift for mathematics, a college sponsorship from a secretive technology corporation, and a family riven with anger and dysfunction. And it's only now, at nineteen years old, that she has started to understand what role she is to play. What her parents intend for her. For Pearl Tao, any hope of escape lies with two British spies: Trish Patterson, sidelined in disgrace, and Philip Mangan, blown and discredited - and following his own trail of corruption. Finding out the truth about Pearl will be the most urgent, the most dangerous mission they'll ever undertake.
