Postales desde Grecia
by Victoria HislopA partir del viaje en solitario a Grecia que emprende una mujer motivada por las cartas que le envía desde allí un completo desconocido, Victoria Hislop construye una maravillosa historia sobre el amor a la vida y a la aventura. Una novela que hará que Grecia y sus paisajes permanezcan para siempre en la memoria del lector. Semana tras semana, llegaban las postales. Estaban dirigidas a alguien a quien Ellie no conocía, sin remitente, firmadas solo con una inicial: A. El cielo brillante, el mar azul, aquellas imágenes de Grecia que mostraban las postales iluminaban su día a día. Pero después de seis meses, para decepción de Ellie, dejaron de llegar. Sin embargo, con ellas, Ellie había creado un paisaje en la pared de su apartamento que funcionó como un embrujo. Debía visitar Grecia y ver aquellos escenarios con sus propios ojos. El día en que Ellie parte rumbo a Atenas, a su casa llega un cuaderno en el que se relata la odisea de un hombre por tierras griegas. Conmovedora, sorprendente y oscura a ratos, la historia de A es la del descubrimiento de una cultura y del deseo también de vivir la vida con plenitud una vez más. La crítica ha dicho...«La historia de amor de Hislop con Grecia continúa y da vida al país de manera magistralmente... Sus historias imaginativas y convincentes dibujan un retrato de Grecia y de su historia extraordinario.»Sunday Express «Una fastuosa carta de amor a Grecia.»Sunday Mirror «La pasión de Hislop por el país (Grecia) se respira en cada página.»Dail Mail «Hislop construye auténticas fotografías del paisaje griego en su narrativa (...) con sus vívidas descripciones.»Daily Express «Cuando se trata de contar historias de Grecia, Hislop es sin duda la reina y desde luego, esta es su mejor novela hasta la fecha.»Heat
Postcards from Summer
by Cynthia PlattThe Notebook meets Love & Gelato in this heart-wrenching novel about a teen girl who travels to her late mother&’s majestic summertime home to learn of the romance—and the tragedy—that changed her life forever.Seventeen-year-old Lexi has always wanted to know more about the mother who passed away when she was only a child. But her dad will barely talk about her. He says he&’d rather live in the present with Lexi, her stepmom, and her half-brother. Lexi loves her family, too, but is it so wrong to want to learn about the mom she never got to know? When Lexi&’s grandma dies and secretly leaves her a worn blue chest that belonged to Lexi&’s mother, Lexi is ecstatic to find a treasure trove of keepsakes. Her mom held onto letters, pamphlets, flyers, and news articles all from the same beautiful summertime getaway: Mackinac Island—plus a cryptic postcard that hints at a forbidden romance. If Lexi wants answers, this island is where she needs to go. Without telling her dad, Lexi goes to the gorgeous Mackinac Island in Lake Huron, reachable only by ferry. Cars are forbidden and bikes are the number one mode of transportation along the quaint cobblestone streets, and the magical hotel that rests alongside cozy cafés and bookshops. While following her mother&’s footsteps, Lexi befriends an elderly former Broadway star and a charming young hotel worker while quickly falling in love with her surroundings. But though the island may be beautiful, it&’s hiding unfortunate secrets—some with her mother at the center. Could some questions be best left buried beneath the blue waters?

Poughkeepsie Begins
by Debra AnastasiaIt ends with the beginning. This legendary, indie, cult-favorite series ends its tale with the story of the Poughkeepsie brotherhood before the tattoo. Before the train station, before the church, before a criminal empire, there was a foster home and three teen boys who weren't related by blood. But damn if they aren't closer than most blood families by their choice. Still in high school, Beckett is already laying the groundwork for a grander life ahead, one where his brothers want for nothing and get some respect for once. But even as he plans, Beckett must decide if he's ready to make that choice--diving into a life that trades his chance at a future, his chance at something as simple as first love with a girl named Candy Cox, for the chance for his brothers to find happiness. Blake, Beckett, and Cole's devotion to each other is forged by fists and the driving need to belong somewhere, to do more than just survive this life. Readers of the series know they each get there in the end, but before we count smiles, we must first shed tears. These early days of the Poughkeepsie brotherhood will play on your heartstrings before serrating them with a knife; they'll lift your soul with music, only to leave you with nothing but a desperate prayer for hope. And when you reach the end of the beginning, you'll be ready to start the series all over again.

Poupée Peinte en Noir: Une Femme Brisée Sauvée par son Véritable Amour
by Laura LagoAda est l'antithèse d'une femme heureuse. A 27 ans, c'est une martyre misanthrope qui déteste tout ce qui l'entoure. Il déteste son travail, il déteste son patron, il déteste ses voisins, sa ville et tout le monde. Ses amis la considèrent comme une fumeuse à la chaîne, une buveuse de nuit et un danger public agressif-dépressif. Cependant, Ada porte un poids que personne ne devrait porter. Sa mère est décédée d'un cancer. Son père, accro au jeu, a été tué par la mafia russe. Son fiancé, un inspecteur de police, assassiné par les mêmes salopards. En apprenant la perte de son futur mari, elle a accouché prématurément et a perdu sa fille. Maintenant, tout ce qui lui reste, ce sont des tatouages noirs, en souvenir de tous ceux qu'il a perdus. Cela, et son nouveau dojo, où il enseigne les arts martiaux, l'aïkido et le kung-fu. Un dojo qui, tôt le matin, est infesté de voyous de la mafia russe, prétendant que le quartier leur appartient et exige… des impôts pour se protéger. Protection que, bien sûr, Ada rejette à coups de poing. Dans la douleur, très en colère et ivre, la dernière chose qu'elle attend à l'aube à la porte de son dojo, à part le chant des grillons, c'est Kyle Nakamura, le fils de son professeur, présent dans la ville après le récent meurtre de son père. La dernière chose à laquelle Ada s'attendait est que Kyle, cet étranger à sa porte, devienne sa principale raison de respirer. Avertissement : Un roman noir avec de l'érotisme explicite, de la romance, de la passion et de l'action, chargé de drame, de langage adulte, de violence explicite et d'un amour si profond qu'il peut guérir n'importe quelle blessure.
