Beschreibung

1960. The height of the Cold War. Maths prodigy Ginny Matlock is appointed to be the first woman computer at a secretive nuclear testing facility off the East Anglian coast. She quickly finds, in this landscape of endless skies and shifting shorelines, that nothing is what it seems. What is the terrible secret of Briar Cottage? What dark tale haunts the local pub? And who is the mysterious Artist with whom Ginny's fate becomes entangled? As the Berlin Wall rises and nuclear Armageddon threatens in Cuba, can Ginny build a life for herself among so many mysteries or will the terrors of the age suck her under?
Sarah Bower's brilliant novella blows the spy thriller genre to pieces and creates a feminist masterpiece from what is left of the rubble. A swirling mystery in which mathematical proof is always just out of reach. Lines and Shadows is the strange lovechild between Sarah Perry's The Essex Serpent and John Le Carre.

    Nora Henderson is of the opinion that chocolate cures almost everything. Which, among a few other reasons, is why she opened her bakery in the small town of Jupiter, Maine five years ago. 
     
     
     
    People come from miles for her chocolate peanut butter cupcakes. Customers almost come to blows over the last almond croissant. Some even say her chocolate chip cookies help ease the burn of heartbreak. 
     
     
     
    Nora's life is good. On the surface, at least. Underneath the frosting and the sweet décor of her bakery is a broken engagement, doubt, and anxiety spirals. 
     
     
     
    In short, Nora Henderson is a mess. 
     
     
     
    Not someone Rowan Derrick would ever be interested in. He's the gruff veteran who owns a construction company, who broods his way around town and can wear the crap out of a backward baseball cap. He stars in almost every one of her fantasies. She expected him to stay there, to remain her imaginary boyfriend and customer . . . nothing else. 
     
     
     
    But Rowan Derrick has had his eye on Nora for a while. Little does she know, she stars in every one of his fantasies too. And now that the beautiful baker is no longer engaged, he's going to make her his.

    For Fiella, life in the magical village of Moonvale used to be peaceful. Her world is turned upside down when a magical attack destroys her trinket shop and everything she has worked for.

    Redd has fled his home in Sunhaven as a last-ditch effort to get a fresh start and escape the bad luck that had been plaguing him. He finds himself in Moonvale, where all the annoyingly friendly local folk seem to need his help. His outlook changes when he lays eyes on a lovely fellow vampire, whose blue hair and fiery temperament ensnare his thoughts. 
     
     
     
    Limits are tested and bonds are forged when Fiella is forced to accept Redd's help to rebuild her shop. With the help of friends, magical potions, the local cats, and a few goblets of cider, Fiella and Redd team up to restore what was lost. As the two vampires battle their thirst together through late nights and endless bickering, they might even learn to appreciate each other.
