Emma Brown by Clare Boylan 1170.12 155*240mm 439页 |
|
|
|
内容简介: |
When
Charlotte Bronte died in 1855, she left behind the start of a new novel. The
twenty-page fragment introduced a lost girl and signalled
the author’s most compelling work since
Jane Eyre. Now, almost 150 years later, Clare Boylan
has returned to this intriguing beginning and turned it into an astonishing
story of mystery, atmosphere and page-turning suspense. The
arrival of Conway Fitzgibbon at Fuchsia Lodge with his daughter Matilda is a
source of delight to the headmistress, Miss Wilcox. The unsuccessful ladies’ school is eager for new
pupils, particularly one so finely dressed and boasting a father who is ‘quite the gentleman’.
But as Christmas approaches, and Miss Wilcox inquires about arrangements for
the holidays, she is in for a shock. Conway Fitzgibbon, like the address he
left behind, does not exist. So
who is the mysterious Matilda? With Miss Wilcox unable to extract an answer
from the girl, it falls to a local gentleman, Mr Ellin, and a childless widow, Isabel Chalfont, to unravel
the truth, an investigation that begins as curiosity and ends up changing all
their lives for ever…… With
all the wit and pathos of its gifted originator, Clare Boylan
has seamlessly developed Bronte story of a girl without a past into a
remarkable portrait of a Victorian society with a shameful secret at its
heart. |

|
|
|
内容简介: |
From
the inimitable Anne Tyler, a rich and compelling novel about a mismatched
marriage—and its consequences, spanning three generations. They
seemed like the perfect couple—young, good-looking, made for each other. The
moment Pauline, a stranger to the Pauline,
impulsive, impractical, tumbles hit-or-miss through life; Michael, plodding,
cautious, judgmental, proceeds deliberately. While other young marrieds, equally ignorant at the start, seemed to grow
more seasoned, Pauline and Michael remain amateurs. In time their foolish
quarrels take their toll. Even when they find themselves, almost thirty years
later, loving, instant parents to a little grandson named Pagan, whom they
rescue from From
the sound of the cash register in the old grocery to the counterculture
jargon of the sixties, from the miniskirts to the multilayered apparel of
later years, Anne Tyler captures the evocative nuances of everyday life
during these decades with such telling precision that every page brings
smiles of recognition. Throughout, as each of the competing voices bears
witness, we are drawn ever more fully into the complex entanglements of
family life in this wise, embracing, and deeply perceptive novel. |

Twelve by Nick McDonell 0550.00 140*210mm 244页 |
|
|
|
内容简介: |
Creating
a sensation around the world, Twelve established its seventeen-year-old
author as a powerful voice of the new millennium. The chilling novel follows
prep school dropout White Mike through the week between Christmas and New
Year’s 1999, as he takes a year off to deal an alluring new drug to his
privileged peers on The
kids of Twelve have it all; Chris and Claude and Hunter and Laura have the
best, and most, of everything, but are constantly looking for something more
exotic, and more dangerous. But Twelve is not a coming-of-age story, because
these kids never had a childhood—their parents are off on holiday in Bali or
business in Brussels, leaving hired help to look the other way as the kids
stay home alone in their multimillion-dollar town houses, partying with drugs
and sex and, in the end, much worse. Rights sold: Bompiani ( Text
