Bloomsbury Based on a True Story Де Виган Дельфина

Thirteen-year-old Theo and his friend Mathis have a secret • Their teacher, Helene, suspects something is not right with Theo and becomes obsessed with rescuing him, casting aside her professionalism to the point of no return • Cecile, mother of Mathis, discovers something horrifying on her husband's computer that makes her question whether she has ever truly known him • Respectable facades are peeled away as the four stories wind tighter and tighter together, pulling into a lean and darkly gripping novel of loneliness, lies and loyalties

In 1992, Ben Watt, a member of the band Everything But The Girl, contracted a rare life-threatening illness that baffled doctors and required months of hospital treatment and operations. This is the story of his fight for survival and the effect it had on him and those nearest him • 'In the summer of 1992, on the eve of a trip to America, I was taken to a London hospital with bad chest pain and stomach pains. They kept me in for two and half months. I fell very ill – about as ill it is possible to be without actually dying – confronting a disease hardly anyone, not even some doctors, had heard of. People ask what was it like, and I say yes, of course it was dramatic and graphic and all that stuff, but at times it was just kind of comic and strange

Marie owes Michka more than she can say - but Michka is getting older, and can't look after herself any more. So Marie has moved her to a home where she'll be safe • But Michka doesn't feel any safer; she is haunted by strange figures who threaten to unearth her most secret, buried guilt, guilt that she's carried since she was a little girl. And she is losing her words – grasping more desperately day by day for what once came easily to her • Jerome is a speech therapist, dispatched to help the home's ageing population snatch and hold tight onto the speech still afforded to them. But Michka is no ordinary client • Michka has been carrying an old debt she does not know how to repay – and as her words slide out of her grasp, time is running out • Delicately wrought and darkly gripping, Gratitude is about love, loss and redemption; about what we owe one another, and the redemptive power of showing thanks

Я работаю со словами и с молчанием. С невысказанным. С тайнами, сожалениями, стыдом. С невозвратным, с исчезающим, с воспоминаниями. Я работаю с болью вчерашней и с болью сегодняшней. С откровениями. И со страхом смерти • Все это – часть моей профессии • Но если есть в моей работе что-то, что продолжает удивлять, даже поражать меня, что-то, отчего и сегодня, спустя десять с лишним лет практики, у меня подчас перехватывает дыхание, то это, несомненно, долговечность боли, пережитой в детстве. Жгучесть раны, не заживающей на протяжении многих лет. Горечь обиды, которая не стирается из памяти • Логопед Жером пытается помочь пожилой даме по имени Миша, которая день за днем теряет слова. Но покоя Миша не дает другое: она так и не поблагодарила супружескую пару, которая спасла ее в годы Второй мировой войны

Кимми и Сэмми — дети-инфлюенсеры, главные герои семейного канала на YouTube. Задуманный как блог о разных товарах и распаковках, этот канал стал настоящим реалити-шоу о жизни отдельно взятой семьи. Теперь на брата с сестрой устремлены взгляды миллионов подписчиков • Их мать, Мелани Кло, кажется женщиной с абсолютно счастливой судьбой. Ролики Мелани получают множество лайков, аудитория стремительно растет, появляются рекламодатели. Очень скоро блог начинает приносить миллионный доход! • Но однажды малышка Кимми исчезает при таинственных обстоятельствах, и за расследование берется Клара Руссель. Она работает в полиции, любит порядок, точность и факты. Теперь ей предстоит приоткрыть завесу мира блогеров

Четыре героя, четыре голоса, четыре жизни. Их глазами через внутренние монологи мы видим череду ярких персонажей и вместе с ними шаг за шагом неумолимо приближаемся к трагедии. Потому что у каждого из них свои тайны, порой страшные и постыдные, свои болевые точки, свои принципы, которые заставляют принимать решения, толкают вверх или вниз. Но те же подспудные тайны и раны порой позволяют нам распознать в другом отражение собственной боли, и тогда есть шанс спасти более слабого, протянуть ему руку — и обрести спасение самому. Главное — успеть

It's a twin thing, and nobody's going to separate them • So Anna hatches a plan: get the whole family on a plane to Italy. Her parents have always been happiest on holiday.

At least that is the optimistic view • This book takes readers on an entertaining ride through this turbulent era, as related by an author with a ringside seat to the key moments of the technology revolution

Под руководством эксцентричного, но гениального офицера в клетчатых штанах шпионы разрабатывали план, который позволил бы им обмануть армию Гитлера и безопасно перебросить тысячные войска через Ла-Манш • Эти двойные агенты не были солдатами в привычном понимании, но им все равно удалось спасти множество жизней благодаря своему обману.
