Denn eines könnte das von Bonnie sein, ihrer ermordeten Tochter, deren Leiche nie gefunden wurde! Eve, die beruflich anhand von Schädeln Gesichter rekonstruiert, wird so zur Figur im Spiel eines sadistischen Psychopathen, der jede ihrer Bewegungen noch von ihr selbst zu kennen scheint ..."--Page 4. of cover

In Água Viva Clarice Lispector aims to 'capture the present'. Her direct, confessional and unfiltered meditations on everything from life and time to perfume and sleep are strange and hypnotic in their emotional power and have been a huge influence on many artists and writers, including one Brazilian musician who read it one hundred and eleven times. Despite its apparent spontaneity, this is a masterly work of art, which rearranges language and plays in the gaps between reality and fiction.

THE BRAND NEW NOVEL IN THE AWARD-WINNING OCCUPATION SERIES, FEATURING DETECTIVE EDDIE GIRAL In Paris 1940, survival means sacrifice. Like most in the city, Detective Eddie Giral has already lost so much under Occupation: the people he once loved, the job he once believed in. And his latest investigation into the murder of a black-marketeer has made it clearer than ever: Eddie is no longer just catching criminals. He's working for them. Because when a German trader is the next to die, the authorities decide it's innocent civilians who will pay the price - unless Eddie can find the killer in time. As hunger grows, tensions rise and a fierce rebellion brews, Eddie will tread a dark path between doing whatever it takes to live with the enemy... and also with himself. ***** PRAISE FOR CHRIS LLOYD'S OCCUPATION SERIES: 'Ranks alongside Alan Furst and Philip Kerr ... Powerful stuff' SUNDAY TIMES 'A thoughtful, haunting thriller' MICK HERRON 'Such a powerful and morally nuanced crime novel. Both a gripping murder mystery and a vivid recreation of Paris under German Occupation' ANDREW TAYLOR 'It's up there with luminaries such as Philip Kerr, Sebastian Faulks and Manda Scott - in fact, it's probably better than all of those' DAVID YOUNG 'A haunting and eye-opening portrayal of life under occupation' ADELE PARKS 'Lloyd does a masterly job of conjuring a hungry, defeated Paris. Eddie is a convincing protagonist; a flawed man trying his best to be a good one' THE TIMES

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The long-awaited new novel from the bestselling, prize-winning author of Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks.New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice • “Mitchell’s rich imaginative stews bubble with history and drama, and this time the flavor is a blend of Carnaby Street and Chateau Marmont.”—The Washington Post   “A sheer pleasure to read . . . Mitchell’s prose is suppler and richer than ever . . . Making your way through this novel feels like riding a high-end convertible down Hollywood Boulevard.”—Slate  NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • NPR • USA Today • The Guardian • The Independent • Kirkus Reviews • Men’s Health • PopMattersUtopia Avenue is the strangest British band you’ve never heard of. Emerging from London’s psychedelic scene in 1967, and fronted by folk singer Elf Holloway, blues bassist Dean Moss and guitar virtuoso Jasper de Zoet, Utopia Avenue embarked on a meteoric journey from the seedy clubs of Soho, a TV debut on Top of the Pops, the cusp of chart success, glory in Amsterdam, prison in Rome, and a fateful American sojourn in the Chelsea Hotel, Laurel Canyon, and San Francisco during the autumn of ’68.David Mitchell’s kaleidoscopic novel tells the unexpurgated story of Utopia Avenue’s turbulent life and times; of fame’s Faustian pact and stardom’s wobbly ladder; of the families we choose and the ones we don’t; of voices in the head, and the truths and lies they whisper; of music, madness, and idealism. Can we really change the world, or does the world change us?

"Una història d'amor, amistat i solituds exquisidament commovedora quan el pare de l'obiefuna presencia un moment íntim entre el seu fill adolescent i un jove aprenent que la família ha acollit, decideix enviar-lo a un estricte internat cristià. allà, envoltat de nois que aviat esdevindran amics, amants o enemics, l'obiefuna descobrirà el que realment sent i és, però haurà de mantenir-ho ocult per sobreviure en un ambient opressiu, masculí, de violència gratuïta." -- pàgina 4 de la coberta.

Bluets és una obra narrativa, filosòfica i sovint explícita sobre el patiment personal i les limitacions de l’amor, tot passat pel filtre del color blau. A través de dos-cents quaranta textos breus i aparentment inconnexos, i amb referències constants a personatges importants com Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Leonard Cohen i Andy Warhol, Maggie Nelson ens presenta un llibre que balla entre l’assaig líric i la prosa poètica i que, molt més enllà d’una exploració personal del color blau, és una exploració de la depressió, del dolor per una història que s’acaba, de l’alcohol i del desig, de la solitud, dels amors perduts i el mal terrible que provoquen el desamor i la pèrdua. Bluets és un conjunt visceral i acuradament lúcid, una proesa finíssima i gràcil d’innovació literària.

So there’s going to be trouble (but nevertheless a good evening’s entertainment with murders you can really hum.)
