Story1
C’est un endroit à l’abri du temps. Ce minuscule hameau, qu’on appelle Les Montées, est un pays à lui seul pour les jumelles Ambre et Aelis, et la vieille Rose. Ici, l’existence n’a jamais été douce. Les familles travaillent une terre avare qui appartient à d’autres, endurent en serrant les dents l’injustice. Mais c’est ainsi depuis toujours. Jusqu’au jour où surgit Madelaine. Une fillette affamée et sauvage, sortie des forêts. Adoptée par Les Montées, Madelaine les ravit, passionnée, courageuse, si vivante. Pourtant, il reste dans ses yeux cette petite flamme pas tout à fait droite.

Hope Adams, tabloid journalist and half-demon, inherited her Bollywood-princess looks from her mother. From her demon father, she inherited a hunger for chaos, and a talent for finding it. Like full demons, she gets an almost sexual rush from danger - in fact, she thrives on it. But she is determined to use her gifts for good. When the head of the powerful Cortez Cabal asks her to infiltrate a gang of bored, rich, troublemaking super naturals in Miami, Hope can’t resist the excitement.

A beautifully wrought and unlikely love story, exploring the power of storytelling. The new audiobook from the acclaimed author of Birds Without Wings and Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a love story at once raw and sweetly funny, wry and heartbreakingly sad. Chris is bored, lonely, trapped in a loveless, sexless marriage. In his forties, he's a stranger to the 1970s youth culture of London, a stranger to himself on the night he invites a hooker into his car.

Was uns trennt, was uns verbindet. Im Jahr 1974 befindet sich Zypern kurz vor dem Bürgerkrieg. Eine Taverne, betrieben von einem schwulen Paar, ist der einzige Ort, an dem sich der Grieche Kostas und die Türkin Defne treffen können. Einzig ein prachtvoller Feigenbaum im Innenhof der Taverne ist Zeuge ihrer glücklichen Begegnungen und ihrer stillen Abschiede. Der Feigenbaum ist auch da, als der Krieg ausbricht, als Menschen auf der ganzen Insel spurlos verschwinden. In der Gegenwart steht der Baum im Garten von Kostas und seiner 16-jährigen Tochter Ada in London.
