Sinossi

As I Lay Dying is William Faulkner's stark and devastating portrait of a family in motion and in collapse. Following the Bundrens as they transport their mother's corpse across the Mississippi countryside to fulfill her final wish, the novel unfolds through a fractured chorus of voices—each revealing private obsessions, resentments, and quiet desperation. 

Told in brief, unadorned monologues, Faulkner strips narrative to its bare essentials, exposing the raw mechanics of grief, duty, and endurance. The journey becomes both physical and moral, as necessity collides with pride, poverty, and the absurd weight of obligation. 

Unsparing and profoundly human, As I Lay Dying stands as one of the defining works of modern American literature—a study of death not as tragedy alone, but as a condition of ordinary life.

    One of the country’s bestselling storytellers joins HarperCollins with her new page-turning drama about struggle and triumph over adversity. 
    The Beachcomber is the story of two people, each with a dream, each lonely in different ways, and just when everything seems to be coming right for them, fate steps in to turn their worlds upside down. 
    In the summer of 1952, two lonely people arrive in the pretty seaside hamlet of West Bay. Strangers coming from very different backgrounds, they are there for the same reasons: to find peace of mind and the chance to start a new life. 
    A quiet, lonely man, Tom Arnold has abandoned all his possessions and walked away from a highly paid job. A year ago, he had a wife and two beautiful children, when suddenly his world was turned upside-down. The car he was driving with his family was deliberately run off the seaside road high above the cliffs. He was the only survivor. The maniac driver – who Tom is sure intended to kill them all – has never been found. 
    Now, a year later, he needs to be alone to deal with the pain and contemplate his future. 
    Kathy Wilson has tried to cling on to her zest for life and her sense of humour through times of pain and loneliness. Recovering from her divorce, she seeks comfort in the arms of other men and parties. But a shocking, revealing row with her mother is the final straw, and consequently when she inherits a rundown house in West Bay, she flees to Dorset. 
    For both Tom and Kathy, it seems there is hope of rebuilding their lives. Yet even now, someone means to wreck both Tom and Kathy's search for happiness. People are jealous. And a brutal killer is still on the loose… Suddenly West Bay is not the peaceful place it was… 
    THE BEACHCOMBER by Josephine Cox, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a top bestseller that stands as a testament to her prowess in the realm of fiction. The book is a captivating exploration of human resilience in the face of adversity. 
    For fans of Lesley Pearse (A Lesser Evil), Anna Jacobs (Replenish the Earth), Lizzie Lane (Tough Times on Coronation Close), Annemarie Brear (The Riverside Maid), and Pamela Kavanagh (THE LONELY FURROW a spellbinding historical family saga).

    Dream Woman is a gripping short novel by Wilkie Collins that blends psychological suspense, mystery, and the supernatural into a tense and unforgettable narrative. First published in 1874, the story showcases Collins's mastery of atmosphere and his ability to explore fear not as fantasy, but as a powerful force rooted in the human mind.
    
    The tale follows Isaac Scatcherd, a man haunted by a recurring dream of a woman whose presence fills him with terror. Unlike ordinary nightmares, this vision feels disturbingly real—so real that Isaac becomes convinced the woman exists beyond his dreams. As events unfold, the line between imagination and reality begins to blur, leading to a chilling confrontation that raises questions about fate, obsession, and the hidden dangers of the unconscious mind.
    
    With spare, controlled prose and mounting tension, Collins examines themes of psychological trauma, guilt, destiny, and the power of premonition. The story reflects Victorian anxieties about mental health and the limits of rational explanation, making it both unsettling and intellectually compelling.
    
    Dream Woman stands as a classic example of Collins's short fiction at its finest—dark, suspenseful, and psychologically rich. It remains essential reading for fans of Victorian mystery, Gothic fiction, and early psychological thrillers, offering a haunting reminder that the most frightening enemies may exist within ourselves.

    Relationships on the station are forbidden ... but are some rules made to be broken? 
     
    At Windale Mountain Sheep Station there's only one rule: don't sleep with the guests. 
     
    In her ten years living on the mountain, Indigo Mills has never once thought about breaking the rules. After a childhood of neglect and an adolescence that still haunts her, the opportunity to live and work on the sheep station was a lifesaver - literally - and Indy won't do anything to jeopardise her mountain family and home. 
     
    That is until Carter Hendrix, the best half-back in the game of professional rugby league, turns up.

    Until he meets Indy. Now is not the time for distractions and Indy is full of reasons why they shouldn't explore their attraction: their vastly different backgrounds, their age gap, the rules. But their chemistry is impossible to ignore. Can Carter prove to Indy that he's worth the risk, or will it all be left on the mountain?

    Filtering the darkest, most dramatic period of modern Jewish history through the naive, often sage, perspective of a remarkable dog, The Jewish Dog offers readers a view of the Holocaust as never seen before. This bestselling novel in Israel follows the life and thoughts of Caleb, a contemplative dog unusually fascinated with human affairs. Born into a German-Jewish household in the mid-1930s, Caleb witnesses firsthand the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust. When events separate him from his Jewish owners, he is adopted by a Nazi family and employed by the SS as a military dog. Deeply ironic and even humorous, The Jewish Dog presents political commentary on humanity and degradation, as Caleb's philosophical musings explore loyalty, identity, and the fine line that separates humanity from animals.
