When Rosamund, a reluctant bearer of family secrets, dies suddenly, a mystery is left for her niece Gill to unravel. Some photograph albums and tapes point towards a blind girl named Imogen whom no one has seen in twenty years. The search for Imogen and the truth of her inheritance becomes a shocking story of mothers and daughters and of how sadness, like a musical refrain, may haunt us down the years

Пьянящим летом 1977 года наивная молодая женщина по имени Калиста отправляется из Афин в путешествие по большому миру. На греческом острове, превращенном в съемочную площадку, она находит работу у знаменитого голливудского режиссера Билли Уайлдера, о котором она почти ничего не знает. Но время, которое она проведет в этой гламурной, незнакомой новой жизни, изменит ее навсегда • В романе "Мистер Уайлдер и я", который одновременно является нежной историей взросления и интимным портретом одной из самых интригующих фигур кинематографа, Джонатан Коу обращает свой взгляд на природу времени и славы, семьи и коварного соблазна ностальгии • Книга на английском языке • In the heady summer of 1977, a naive young woman called Calista sets out from Athens to venture into the wider world

In Bournville, a placid suburb of Birmingham, sits a famous chocolate factory. For eleven-year-old Mary and her family in 1945, it's the centre of the world. The reason their streets smell faintly of chocolate, the place where most of their friends and neighbours have worked for decades. Mary will go on to live through the Coronation and the World Cup final, royal weddings and royal funerals, Brexit and Covid-19. She'll have children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Parts of the chocolate factory will be transformed into a theme park, as modern life and the city crowd in on their peaceful enclave • As we travel through seventy-five years of social change, from James Bond to Princess Diana, and from wartime nostalgia to the World Wide Web, one pressing question starts to emerge: will these changing times bring Mary's family - and their country - closer together, or leave them more adrift and divided than ever before? • Bournville is a rich and poignant new novel from the bestselling, Costa award-winning author of Middle England
