Tessa O’Hara ustawiała właśnie świeżo upieczone babeczki na wystawie swojej cukierni, gdy zadźwięczał dzwonek przy drzwiach. Podniosła wzrok i ujrzała mężczyznę swoich marzeń. Nie minęła minuta, a on zaprosił ją na randkę. Zgodziła się bez wahania. Ale po czterech cudownych miesiącach Tess odkrywa, że jej ukochany to działający pod przykrywką detektyw z agencji antynarkotykowej, który bada powiązania jej byłego męża – narkotykowego bossa. Tess jest przekonana, że to koniec.
Ale agent Brock Lucas jest innego zdania. To człowiek z misją, oddany swojej pracy, spędził lata zajmując się światkiem przestępczym Denver, rozpracowywał najgorsze szumowiny. Jednak dopiero w czasie tych czterech miesięcy z Tess, która jest równie słodka jak jej babeczki, zaczyna naprawdę lubić swoją pracę. Podczas przesłuchania Brock dowiaduje się, że Tess skrywa przerażającą tajemnicę. Wtedy też postanawia, że pomoże jej walczyć z demonami przeszłości i będzie ją chronić.
Ta słodko-dzika para wspólnie stawi czoła wielu przeciwnościom, a los nie będzie ich oszczędzał: rodzinne problemy, śmiertelna choroba, a do tego nieustępliwy były mąż Tess i jędzowata była żona Brocka będą próbowali ich rozdzielić. Ale na tym nie koniec. Brock Lucas ma w sobie dzikość, nad którą w przeszłości nie zawsze umiał panować. Za błąd, który popełnił lata temu, przyjdzie zapłacić Tess.
Ingrid i Jan są małżeństwem z dwudziestopięcioletnim stażem. Mieszkają w pięknym domu w Oslo, mają dwóch dorosłych synów i poczucie stabilizacji, zarówno życiowej jak i zawodowej. Prowadzą spokojne życie do czasu, kiedy Jan nawiązuje romans z trzydziestoczteroletnią Hanne. Dla niej odchodzi od żony. Zdradzona i opuszczona Ingrid przeżywa załamanie nerwowe i musi nauczyć żyć się od nowa. Jan dochodzi do wniosku, że oficjalny związek z młodą kochanką nie cieszy go już tak jak kiedyś romans. Również Hanne stwierdza, że nie tego dla siebie pragnęła, czuje się głęboko rozczarowana i oszukana.
Nie, po prostu nie to powieść o egzystencjalnej wściekłości i życiowych frustracjach w dobie konsumpcjonizmu i globalizacji, widzianych z perspektywy zarówno pokolenia trzydziesto-, jak i pięćdziesięciolatków.
Jest przepełnioną gorzkim humorem – jak w Dniu świra – opowieścią o utraconych marzeniach, poczuciu życiowego niespełnienia i zmęczeniu codziennością. Jak piszą norwescy recenzenci, Nina Lykke napisała bezlitosną satyrę na nasze życie, w której czytelnik widzi siebie do tego stopnia, że nie wie, czy się śmiać, czy płakać.

Flush was an English cocker spaniel who belonged to the nineteenth-century poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Virginia Woolf learned of him from the love letters Elizabeth wrote to her future husband, fellow poet Robert Browning, and found ‘the figure of their dog made me laugh so, I couldn't resist making him a Life.’ The resulting ‘biography’ combines sensuous imaginative description with sharp social comment, and brings Woolf’s unsentimental humour and insight to the fore. We see Flush as loyal confidant to Elizabeth on her sickbed at Wimpole Street, and from his jealous perspective we witness her courtship by Browning, their elopement and new life in Italy. The perfect accessible introduction to Woolf’s genius, a unique blend of fact and fiction, Flush is perhaps best read in the company of a canine companion.

To the Lighthouse is at once a vivid impressionistic depiction of a family holiday, and a meditation on marriage, on parenthood and childhood, on grief, tyranny and bitterness. For years now the Ramsays have spent every summer in their holiday home in Scotland, and they expect these summers will go on forever; but as the First World War looms, the integrity of family and society will be fatally challenged. With a psychologically introspective mode, the use of memory, reminiscence and shifting perspectives gives the novel an intimate, poetic essence, and at the time of publication in 1927 it represented an utter rejection of Victorian and Edwardian literary values.
Between the First World War and the Wall Street Crash the French Riviera was the stylish place for wealthy Americans to visit. Among the most fashionable are psychoanalyst Dick Diver and his wife Nicole, who hold court at their villa. Into their circle comes Rosemary Hoyt, a film star, who is instantly attracted to them, but understands little of the dark secrets and hidden corruption that hold them together. As Dick draws closer to Rosemary, he fractures the delicate structure of his marriage and sets both Nicole and himself on to a dangerous path where only the strongest can survive. In this exquisite, lyrical novel, Fitzgerald has poured much of the essence of his own life; he has also depicted the age of materialism, shattered idealism and broken dreams.

When 'The Awakening' was first published in 1899, charges of sordidness and immorality seemed to consign it into obscurity and irreparably damage its author's reputation.
