Veronica McCreedy can't resist the promise of adventure • Nine-year-old Daisy and nearly ninety-year-old Veronica make an unlikely pair of friends • Fiercely independent and impeccably dressed, Veronica has lived an incredible 87 years. Most of them alone, in her huge house by the sea. But with the arrival of brave and resilient Daisy into her life, Veronica finds she has a renewed thirst for adventure - and that they both share a passion for penguins! • So when Veronica and Daisy are invited to travel to the other side of the world together and visit the penguins of the southern hemisphere, they both jump at the chance • Veronica had thought her days of new friendships, family and love were over, but perhaps it's never too late for one more adventure?

A beautiful, magical novel • It is, perhaps, the fifteenth century and the ordered tranquillity of a Mediterranean island is about to be shattered by the appearance of two outsiders: one, a castaway, plucked from the sea by fishermen, whose beliefs represent a challenge to the established order; the other, a child abandoned by her mother and suckled by wolves, who knows nothing of the precarious relationship between Church and State but whose innocence will become the subject of a dangerous experiment • But the arrival of the Inquisition on the island creates a darker, more threatening force which will transform what has been a philosophical game of chess into a matter of life and death

Houses of Power is the result of Simon Thurley's thirty years of research, picking through architectural digs, and examining financial accounts, original plans and drawings to reconstruct the great Tudor houses and understand how these monarchs shaped their lives • What was it like to live as a royal Tudor? • Why were their residences built as they were and what went on inside their walls? • Who slept where and with who? • Who chose the furnishings? • And what were their passions? • The Tudors ruled through the day, throughout the night, in the bath, in bed and in the saddle. Their palaces were genuine power houses - the nerve-centre of military operations, the boardroom for all executive decisions and the core of international politics • Far more than simply an architectural history - a study of private life as well as politics, diplomacy and court - it gives an entirely new and remarkable insight into the Tudor world

Juan Diego’s little sister is a mind reader. As a teenager, he struggles to keep anything secret – Lupe knows all the worst things that go through his mind. And sometimes she knows more.

What might a young girl be driven to do if she thought she had the power to change what lies ahead? • Later in life, Juan Diego embarks on a journey to fulfil a promise he made in his youth. It is a long story and it has long awaited an ending, but Juan Diego is unable to write the final chapters • This is the story of what happens when the future collides with the past

A family in crisis. A catalyst that threatens to change everything • The land running down to the River Dean has been farmed by the Meredith family for generations. Robin Meredith bought the farm from his father, just before he married his wife Caro and now he and his brother Joe work on the land. But now Caro has died, as much as a mystery to the family as she was when she arrived twenty years ago, and the whole family feels her loss acutely, none more so than her adopted daughter Judy • Into this unhappy family comes Zoe, Judy's London friend, an outsider with an independent spirit and a disturbing directness. Everyone underestimates Zoe's power as a catalyst for change as the realities behind the seeming idyll of a rural community become ever clearer

1936: Лондон гудит от сплетен о романе между Эдуардом VIII и миссис Симпсон. Но король - не единственный представитель аристократии, которому предстоит принять трудное решение. Оуэн Монтиньяк, красивый и харизматичный потомок богатой семьи землевладельцев, с нетерпением ожидает оглашения завещания своего покойного дяди. Потому что у Оуэна были огромные долги по азартным играм, и босс казино Николас Делфи поставил его перед выбором: найти 50 000 фунтов стерлингов к Рождеству - или оказаться на глубине шести футов • Поэтому, когда Оуэн обнаруживает, что его вычеркнули из завещания в пользу его прекрасной кузины Стеллы, пришло время доказать, каким хитрым он может быть... А Оуэн просто великолепен, если не сказать изобретателен - даже королевский кризис может обеспечить средства для получения прибыли

'According to his mother, Jack Burns was an actor before he was an actor, but Jack's most vivid memories of childhood were those moments when he felt compelled to hold his mother's hand. He wasn't acting then.' • Jack Burns' mother, Alice, is a tattoo artist in search of the boy's father, a virtuoso organist named William who has fled America to Europe. To fund her journey, she plies her trade in the seaports of the Baltic coast. But her four-year-old son's errant father can't be found, and soon even Jack's memories of that perplexing time are called into question. It is only when he becomes a Hollywood actor in later life that what he has experienced in the past comes into telling play in his present
