The Brothers Karamazov (Hallow...

Fyodor Dostoevsky

HALLOW'S PRAY40 LENT BOOK CHALLENGE PICK!The Brothers Karamazov is widely recognized as one of the greatest novels ever written. Its power lies not in the drama between the brothers, the intrigue of its murder mystery, or the suspense of its courtroom finale, but in the questions at its heart: Is God real? And if He is, then what does that mean for me?At its core, it is a story of fathers and sons—of a father’s sins and the brokenness of his children, each struggling with who God is and what they owe to one another. Dmitri’s reckless passion mirrors his father’s corruption, Ivan’s cold rationalism rebels against it, and Alyosha’s tender compassion reflects the quiet holiness of his mentor, the soldier-turned-monk Father Zossima.Through their tragic, comic, and deeply human collision, Dostoevsky shows how sin and love ripple outward, shaping the lives of all who are connected to us. He invites each of us to step toward mercy: to confront our divided hearts, to return to God, and to be drawn back into authentic communion with one another. In the end, as Father Zossima teaches, “Love is such a priceless treasure that you can redeem the whole world by it.”

Farewell Waltz - A Novel

Milan Kundera

""After Farewell Waltz there cannot be any doubt. Kundera is a master of contemporary literature. This novel is both an an example of virtuosity and a descent into the human soul."" —L'Unite 
Set in an old-fashioned Central European spa town, Farewell Waltz poses the most serious questions with a blasphemous lightness that makes us see that the modern world has deprived us even of the right to tragedy. 
In this dark farce of a novel, eight characters are swept up in an accelerating dance: a pretty nurse and her repairman boyfriend; an oddball gynecologist; a rich American (at once saint and Don Juan); a popular trumpeter and his beautiful, obsessively jealous wife; and an disillusioned former political prisoner about to leave his country and his young woman ward. It is perhaps the most brilliantly plotted and sheer entertaining of Milan Kundera's novels. 
Written in Bohemia in 1969-70, the book was first published (in 1976) in France under the title La valse aux adieux (Farewell Waltz), and later in thirty-four other countries. This beautiful translation, made from the French text prepared by the novelist himself, fully reflects Kundera's own tone and intentions, and offers an opportunity for both the discovery and the rediscovery of one of the very best of a great writer's works.

'A sizzling enemies-to-lovers read you'll definitely fall for' Mandy Baggot
No man can be as good as the one in your imagination...
Librarian Liv Jones has always dreamed of writing a romance novel. But she’s stuck when it comes to creating a romantic hero – sadly – lacking anyone in real life to base him on.
When her brother suggests his best friend stay in their shared flat for a few weeks, she can’t believe her bad luck. Aiden Rivers is irritating and pushes all her buttons. Worst of all, he’s gorgeous, has a sexy accent and reminds her of her all-time favourite character Mr Darcy.
