Beschreibung

The celebrated author of The Age of Innocence offers a biting satire of Jazz Age society in this tale of indulgence, infidelity, and family dysfunction. Nona Manford is in love with the wrong man—or at least, she’s in love with a man whose wife won’t grant a divorce. When she isn’t preoccupied with her own romantic dilemma, Nona is busy trying to save the marriage of her stepbrother, Jim. But Jim’s wife, Lita, is desperate to escape her domestic role for a life of dancing, champagne, and glamour. And meanwhile, the family’s older generation isn’t faring much better.  An instant bestseller when it was first published in 1927, Edith Wharton’s Twilight Sleep is both a scathing satire of Jazz Age frivolity and a psychologically probing portrait of a family coming apart at the seams.

Too Young for Bingo - A 35-Year-Old's Guide to Surviving and Thriving in a 55+ Paradise - cover

I was 35 when I accidentally moved into a 55+ community. 
This is what no one warned me about. 
When I married my husband and moved to Florida, I never expected to become the youngest resident in a neighborhood built for retirees. What started as a practical decision quickly turned into an unexpected social experiment—one filled with curiosity, judgment, kindness, awkward questions, and moments of genuine connection. 
Too Young for Bingo is a candid, often funny memoir about navigating life as a 35-year-old woman inside a 55+ community. From learning the unspoken rules to answering the same questions over and over again, this book explores what happens when you don’t fit neatly into the box people expect you to be in. 
This isn’t a guidebook. 
It’s not a how-to. 
It’s a story about belonging, identity, and finding humor in places you never planned to end up. 
If you’ve ever felt out of place, misunderstood, or quietly curious about what life is really like behind the gates of a 55+ community—this book is for you. 
Based on a true story.

Now an AMC+ series starring Ben Whishaw  
The acclaimed multimillion-copy bestseller, This Is Going to Hurt is Adam Kay’s equally ""blisteringly funny"" (Boston Globe) and “heartbreaking” (New Yorker) secret diaries of his years as a young doctor. 
Welcome to 97-hour weeks. Welcome to life and death decisions. Welcome to a constant tsunami of bodily fluids. Welcome to earning less than the hospital parking meter. Wave goodbye to your friends and relationships. Welcome to the life of a first-year doctor. 
Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights, and missed weekends, comedian and former medical resident Adam Kay’s This Is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of his time on the front lines of medicine. 
Hilarious, horrifying, and heartbreaking by turns, this is everything you wanted to know—and more than a few things you didn’t—about life on and off the hospital ward. 
And yes, it may leave a scar.

DIG HISTORY • TRAVEL LIGHT • EMBRACE CHAOS 
One very angry Louvre guard. Two suspiciously charming Eastern Europeans who may or may not be mafia hitmen. And a chain-smoking American dubbed Cruella. 
A history-obsessed writer and his beer-loving best friend, CJ, finally embark on their long-delayed European adventure. Armed with shaky navigation skills and an unquenchable thirst for craft beer, they stumble from London's plague pits to Rome's glories—and unearth history, misadventure, and a few unsolicited life lessons. 
Part historical deep dive, part pub crawl—Unearthed is for fans of Bill Bryson, and anyone who knows history goes down better with a pint.
