HE THOUGHT HE'D SEEN IT ALL . . . The rogue's life has been good to William Somerhall: He has his fortune, his racehorses, and his freedom. Then he moves in with his mother. It seems the eccentric Dowager Duchess of Worth has been barely skirting social disaster-assisted by one Miss Jenna Hughes, who is far too bright and beautiful to be wasting her youth as a paid companion. Now home to keep his mother from ruin, William intends to learn what's afoot by keeping his friends close-and the tempting Miss Hughes closer still. . . .

But even as William plots to make an honest woman out of her, Jenna will use all her wiles to reveal just how bad a rogue he can be . . .

Length: 11 hours 28 minutes

Release date: July 6, 2023

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

La nueva novela de la finalista del Premio Booker, con más de 300.000 lectores: «Preciosa y desgarradora» (Margaret Atwood) «Maravillosa». Mary Beard * «Una voz única en la literatura mundial». Ian McEwan * «Un libro que te transforma». Naomi Klein * «Shafak crea con sus palabras un nuevo hogar para los lectores». Colum McCann NOMINADA AL WOMEN'S PRIZE Y AL ONDAATJE PRIZE FINALISTA DE LOS PREMIOS COSTA BOOK SELECCIONADA EN EL CLUB DE LECTURA DE REESE WITHERSPOON En un convulso 1974, mientras el ejército turco ocupa el norte de Chipre, Kostas, un griego cristiano, y Defne, una turca musulmana, se reúnen en secreto bajo las vigas ennegrecidas de la taberna La Higuera Feliz, donde cuelgan ristras de ajos, cebollas y pimientos. Allí, lejos del fragor de la guerra, crece a través de una cavidad en el techo una higuera, testigo del amor de los dos jóvenes, pero también de sus desencuentros, de la destrucción de Nicosia y de la trágica separación de los amantes. Décadas más tarde, en el norte de Londres, Ada Kazantzakis acaba de perder a su madre. A sus dieciséis años, nunca ha visitado la isla en la que nacieron sus padres y está desesperada por desenredar años de secretos, división y silencio. La única conexión que tiene con la tierra de sus antepasados es un Ficus carica que crece en el jardín de su casa. La isla del árbol perdido es una historia llena de magia sobre la pertenencia y la identidad, el amor y el dolor, y la asombrosa capacidad de regeneración a través de la memoria. La crítica ha dicho: «Un libro exuberante, un libro que huele, que sabe y que suena con los olores, sabores y sonidos de una naturaleza». Berna González Harbour, El País (Portada de Babelia) «Voz comprometida, voz perseguida, voz firme e inspiradora. Elif Shafak es, en una palabra, Europa». Felip Vivanco, Magazine (La Vanguardia) «Se bebe de un trago (aunque uno lento, que disfrutas en toda su longitud)». Silvia Nieto, El Mundo «Haciendo gala de un generoso despliegue de geografía novelística, Shafak explora -a través del diálogo entre dos historias concomitantes- las huellas de un exilio no-sufrido, de un exilio dado por nacimiento, al tiempo que se adentra en las peculiaridades identitarias y culturales de los pueblos griego y turco en un territorio mezclado por la colisión entre ambos: Chipre». Zenda «Shafak vuelve a mostrar sus dotes como constructora de novelas entretenidas que se mueven entre Oriente y Occidente y donde los sentimientos tienen un peso importante. Las páginas del libro están llenas de platos de la cocina griega y turca. Se perciben sus olores, las maneras de nombrar las cosas, las plantas y los pájaros del lugar, sus cielos». Mey Zamora, La Vanguardia «Una historia conmovedora, bellamente escrita y delicadamente construida. Shafak sigue la tradición de emocionarnos y contarnos un hecho relevante que ya inició en 10 minutos y 38 segundos en este extraño mundo». Rosa Martí, El Confidencial «Un hermoso alegato en favor de la naturaleza —que siempre sufre por las guerras de los hombres— y de un amor que no conoce barreras culturales ni de género, que trasciende el tiempo y queda para siempre grabado en la memoria de los árboles.» Alicia Medina, Zenda «En cada página dialogan guerra y poesía para formar una historia insólita, espejo de todo lo que indigna a Elif Shafak». Elle «Shafak es una fuerza de la naturaleza que atesora reconocimientos y centenares de miles de lectores». Daniel Arjona, El Confidencial

Él fue su cómplice en las intrigas palaciegas y juntos vivieron una apasionante historia de amor que ha trascendido hasta nuestros días.

Publisher's Summary:

The wolves of Odin land in Italy, and the tantalising scent of gold is in the air… AD 1043. Having escaped Constantinople with their lives – barely – but not their ship, Halfdan and the wolves of Odin are now mercenaries in the Byzantine army, sailing to Apulia in Italy to help retake territory from the Normans. But cracks are beginning to show among the tight-knit wolves. Gunnhild, having forsaken the fate woven for her by the Norns in order to continue her journey with Halfdan, has lost her ability to communicate with the goddess Freyja, and so glimpse the future. And Ketil the Icelander, having watched his ship, the Sea Wolf, stolen from him yet again, grows resentful, as seemingly every decision Halfdan makes leads them further from his original promise of riches and renown. But aboard their ship is an official with secret orders for the general in charge of the Italian campaign, Maniakes. The orders will throw everything into chaos, and put a fork in the path of the wolves of Odin. Each will have a choice to make: loyalty to themselves, or to the pack? The thrilling third instalment in the Wolves of Odin series, with a gripping hunt across a war-torn Italy. Perfect for fans of Giles Kristian and Bernard Cornwell.

England, 1618. At his manor of Thirldon, ex-Justice Belstrang - still at loggerheads with his old rival Justice Standish - receives devastating news: King James intends to purchase the estate for his favourite, the Marquis of Buckingham – and Belstrang must comply. In the ensuing turmoil, while his son-in-law George petitions the King on his behalf, Belstrang receives a plea from a dying friend, Sir Richard Mountford, to visit him at Foxhill Manor. To take his mind off his troubles Belstrang goes - and discovers things are not so simple. Sir Richard is not dying, but desperate. His brother John has been killed in an explosion at the family's iron foundry, down in the remote Forest of Dean. They cast cannons for the Royal Armouries: a privileged and lucrative business. But Sir Richard does not believe John's death was an accident. Meanwhile, Mountford's cold-hearted son Francis treats him as an invalid. He fears things are being kept from him - and implores Belstrang to investigate. The mystery deepens when a forester who was seen talking to Belstrang is murdered. Only after a violent confrontation on the bleak salt-marshes does the truth begin to unfold - and its implications reach far beyond England's shores. This time Belstrang must follow the trail to a very bitter end, which could be the making of him - or cause his undoing.

Hampshire, 1943. Kim Maxwell has been languishing in the “cooler” in what she sees as punishment for getting caught—and tortured—by the Nazis, before being freed by Resistance fighters and smuggled back into England. Now she is sent for by the head of SOE. This is her chance to prove herself. A fellow agent has been found murdered. It would seem that Lilian Harvey heard something she shouldn’t have and that her murder was a warning. Setting out to uncover the culprit, Kim spots a strange zigzag pattern on the wall above the bed where the body was found, which Lilian drew using her own blood as she lay dying. Before Kim knows it, she uncovers evidence that there exists a dark society working in the shadows and she realizes the Nazis are not England’s only enemy. When she meets the mysterious yet captivating Roland, aka Red Fox, they embark on a mission to solve the murder—all the while being drawn to each other and further into trouble. But in order to expose this dangerous web of deceit, Kim must go back into the heart of occupied France—and into the hands of the enemy … This atmospheric Second World War novel will grip you to the very end and is perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen, Jeffery Archer, Rory Clements, Gretta Mulrooney, Kate Quinn, and Lucinda Riley.

Title: The East Indian

Author: Brinda Charry

Narrator: Vikas Adam

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 42 minutes

Release date: June 8, 2023

Genres: LGBTQ+

Publisher's Summary:

Meet Tony: the first Indian to set foot on American soil. Among the settlers, slaves, and indentured servants that make the treacherous journey across the Atlantic to the New World in the early 1600s — for some, an exciting opportunity, for others, a brutal abduction — there is also Tony. As a child, his homeland on the Coromandel Coast of India becomes a trading outpost for the English; as an orphaned teenager, he finds himself kidnapped from the streets of London and bound to servitude on a Virginia plantation. But Tony is not giving up on his dreams just yet. Under the rule of a sadistic plantation owner, he forms a tender bond with a young boy who will haunt his nightmares; on an exploration inland alongside a trader and Native Americans, he realises the world is vaster and more mysterious than he could have imagined; and in Jamestown, he finally earns himself a position as a physician's apprentice, an ambition he has long harboured. The East Indian is a Dickensian-style yarn about family, friendship, and finding oneself in the seeds of a new world. Inspired by a historical figure, an exhilarating debut novel about the first native of the Indian subcontinent to arrive in Colonial America—for readers of Esi Edugyan and Yaa Gyasi.
