Inhalt: "Flawed - Wie perfekt willst du sein?" ist der erste atemberaubende Band des neuen Zweiteilers von Bestsellerautorin Cecelia Ahern. Spannend und emotional erzählt sie in dieser Dystopie die Geschichte der 17-jährigen Celestine, die darum kämpft, etwas anderes sein zu dürfen als perfekt. Celestines Leben scheint perfekt: Sie ist schön, bei allen beliebt und hat einen unglaublich süßen Freund. Doch dann handelt sie in einem entscheidenden Moment aus dem Bauch heraus. Und bricht damit alle Regeln. Sie könnte im Gefängnis landen oder gebrandmarkt werden - verurteilt als Fehlerhafte. Denn Fehler sind in ihrer Welt nicht erlaubt. Nichts geht über die Perfektion. Auch nicht die Menschlichkeit. Jetzt muss sie kämpfen - um ihre eigene Zukunft und um ihre große Liebe. "Es ist mein erster All-Age-Roman, aber die Idee hat mich selbst fast überrollt. Ich kam kaum hinterher, sie aufzuschreiben. Es ist eine einzigartige Geschichte, aber wie in allen meinen Büchern steckt eine besondere Botschaft und ganz viel Gefühl drin."

Inhalt: Felix is at the top of his game as Artistic Director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. His productions have amazed and confounded. Now he's staging a Tempest like no other. It will boost his reputation. It will heal emotional wounds.
Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. Also brewing revenge.
After twelve years, revenge finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his Tempest and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It's magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall? Umfang: 289 S. Standort: Engl. Atw ISBN: 978-0-09-959402-4
Inhalt: The Handmaid's Tale is a novel of such power that the reader will be unable to forget its images and its forecast. Set in the near future, it describes life in what was once the United States and is now called the Republic of Gilead, a monotheocracy that has reacted to social unrest and a sharply declining birthrate by reverting to, and going beyond, the repressive intolerance of the original Puritans. The regime takes the Book of Genesis absolutely at its word, with bizarre consequences for the women and men in its population.
The story is told through the eyes of Offred, one of the unfortunate Handmaids under the new social order. In condensed but eloquent prose, by turns cool-eyed, tender, despairing, passionate, and wry, she reveals to us the dark corners behind the establishment's calm facade, as certain tendencies now in existence are carried to their logical conclusions. The Handmaid's Tale is funny, unexpected, horrifying, and altogether convincing. It is at once scathing satire, dire warning, and a tour de force. It is Margaret Atwood at her best. Umfang: 320 S. Standort: Atw ISBN: 978-0-09-974091-9
Inhalt: 'He wanted to know who she was, and why he was convinced he had some unremembered connection with her. It was as simple as that. But he knew it wasn't. It wasn't simple at all.'
When Dublin pathologist Quirke glimpses a familiar face while on holiday with his wife, it's hard, at first, to tell whether his imagination is just running away with him. Could she really be who he thinks she is, and have a connection with a crime that nearly brought ruin to an Irish political dynasty?
Unable to ignore his instincts, Quirke makes a call back home and Detective St John Strafford is soon dispatched to Spain. But he's not the only one on route: as a terrifying hitman hunts down his prey, they are all set for a brutal showdown. Umfang: 355 S. Standort: Engl. Ban ISBN: 978-0-571-36359-9

However, as the snow continues to fall over this ever-expanding mystery, the people of Ballyglass are equally determined to keep their secrets.
