Untitled Colleen Hoover [Bok / Häftad]

Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skilfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party. Yet he inwardly rebels against the totalitarian world he lives in, which demands absolute obedience and controls him through the all-seeing telescreens and the watchful eye of Big Brother, symbolic head of the Party. In his longing for truth and liberty, Smith begins a secret love affair with a fellow-worker, Julia, but soon discovers the true price of freedom is betrayal.

Murder On The Orient Express [Bok / Häftad]

<p>This is the story of one lost poem, two great rivers, and three remarkable lives - all connected by a single drop of water. In the ruins of Nineveh, that ancient city of Mesopotamia, there lies hidden in the sand fragments of a long-forgotten poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh. In Victorian London, an extraordinary child is born at the edge of the dirt-black Thames. Arthur&apos;s only chance of escaping poverty is his brilliant memory. When his gift earns him a spot as an apprentice at a printing press, Arthur&apos;s world opens up far beyond the slums, with one book soon sending him across the seas: Nineveh and Its Remains. In 2014 Turkey, Narin, a Yazidi girl living by the River Tigris, waits to be baptised with water brought from the holy sit of Lalish in Iraq. The ceremony is cruelly interrupted, and soon Narin and her grandmother must journey across war-torn lands in the hope of reaching the sacred valley of their people. In 2018 London, broken-hearted Zaleekhah, a hydrologist, moves to a houseboat on the Thames to escape the wreckage of her marriage. Zaleekhah foresees a life drained of all love and meaning - until an unexpected connection to her homeland changes everything.</p>

<p>'Holy smokes this novel is an absolute cut above! Exciting, surprising, intellectually provocative, weird, radical, tender and moving. I missed it when I was away from it. I will hurry to re-read it. Make room on your bookshelves for a new classic'<br/><b>MAX PORTER, AUTHOR OF <i>SHY</i></b><br/><br/>'An outrageously brilliant debut . . . This is already the best new book I will have read next year'<br/><b>ELEANOR CATTON, AUTHOR OF <i>BIRNAM WOOD</i></b><br/><br/>'Hugely enjoyable . . . Your next crush is a long dead Arctic explorer'<br/><b>JOANNA QUINN, AUTHOR OF <i>THE WHALEBONE THEATRE</i></b><br/><br/>'Kaliane Bradley writes with the maximalist confidence of P. G. Wodehouse, but also with the page-turning pining of Sally Rooney. It's thought-provoking and horribly clever - but it also made me laugh out loud'<br/><b>ALICE WINN, AUTHOR OF <i>IN MEMORIAM</i></b><br/><br/>'A fantastic debut: conceptually brilliant, really funny, genuinely moving, written in the most exquisite language and with a wonderful articulation of the knotty complexities of a mixed-race heritage'<br/><b>MARK HADDON, AUTHOR OF <i>THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME</i><br/></b><br/>'Sly and illusionless in its use of history, lovely in its sentences, warm - no, hotter than that - in its characterisation, devastating in its denouement. A weird, kind, clever, heartsick little time bomb of a book'<br/><b>FRANCIS SPUFFORD, AUTHOR OF <i>GOLDEN HILL</i><br/></b><br/><br/><b>A BOY MEETS A GIRL. THE PAST MEETS THE FUTURE. A FINGER MEETS A TRIGGER. THE BEGINNING MEETS THE END. ENGLAND IS FOREVER; ENGLAND MUST FALL.</b><br/><br/><b>There are several ways to tell a story.</b><br/>A civil servant starts working as a 'bridge' - a liaison, helpmeet and housemate - in an experimental project that brings expatriates from the past into the twenty-first century. <i>This is a science-fiction story.</i><br/>In a London safehouse in the 2020s, a disorientated Victorian polar explorer chain smokes while listening to Spotify and learning about political correctness. <i>This is a comedy.</i><br/>During a long, sultry summer - as the shadows around them grow long and dangerous - two people fall in love, against all odds. <i>This is a romance.</i><br/><i>The Ministry of Time</i> is a novel about Commander Graham Gore (R.N. c.1809-c.1847) and a woman known only as the bridge. As their relationship turns from the strictly professional into something more and uneasy truths begin to emerge, they are forced to face the reality of the project that brought them together.<br/><b><i>Can love triumph over the structures and histories that shape them?</i></b></p>

<p><b>THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR<br/><br/>A delicious comedy of manners set on the Big Island of Hawaii, where a decadent wedding serves as the elaborate rouse for a romantic scheme, and an unexpected affair erupts volcanically in the midst</b><br/><br/>Auggie and Maxxi are getting married and if they had any say in it, this low-key couple would celebrate barefoot in Bali. But unfortunately for them, Auggie was born Lady Augusta Gresham, daughter of a Hong Kong It-Girl and a British duke, and Maxxi was born Prince Maximillian zu Willemsson, heir to a Norwegian oil fortune, and so their wedding, a veritable who's-who of sultans, barons, and oligarchs, will be held at the family property in Kona, and the bride, like all the great Princesses before her, will wear Valentino-with not a bare foot in sight. Every detail of the affair, from the yacht whale watching to the ice palace atop Mauna Kea to the wine tasting amid former Hawaiian ruins, has been designed with one sole purpose-no, not to celebrate the happy couple--but to make one very eligible, very pedigreed Princess Paloma de Courcy fall in love with Auggie's surfer-photographer brother. But unfortunately, Rufus Gresham, future Earl of Greshambury, has eyes for someone else, and when a pregnancy test reveals an after-hours tryst, family emotions flare with a heat that would rival Pele, Hawaiian God of fire. An outrageous comedy of manners about family, money, sex, and the lies we tell about the three, Lies and Weddings is a joyful return from one of our greatest social satirists.</p>
