    I was to stand trial for my life. I was twenty-two years old. I had been married for ten weeks and a widow for six. In the summer of 1914, the Empress Alexandra, a magnificent ocean liner, suffers a mysterious explosion on its voyage from London to New York City. On board are Henry Winter, a rich banker, and his young new wife, Grace. Somehow, Henry manages to secure a place in a lifeboat for Grace. But the survivors quickly realize it is over capacity and could sink at any moment. For any to live, some must die. As the castaways battle the elements, and one another, Grace watches and waits. She is a woman who has learned the value of patience - her journey to a life of glittering privilege has been far from straightforward. Now, she knows, it is in jeopardy, and her very survival is at stake. Over the course of three perilous weeks, the passengers on the lifeboat plot, scheme, gossip, and console one another while sitting inches apart. Their deepest beliefs about goodness, humanity, and God are tested to the limit as they begin to discover what they will do in order to survive. The Lifeboat is a page-turning story of moral dilemmas, and also the moving and haunting story of Grace, a woman as unforgettable and complicated as the story she recounts. ungekürzt.

    Shortlisted for the National Book AwardsGraham Norton's debut novel, Holding, was a Sunday Times best seller and loved everywhere. His new novel, A Keeper, is a twisted tale of secrets and ill-fated loves that once again demonstrates Norton's understanding of human nature and all its darkest flaws. The mystery of Elizabeth Keane's father is one that has never been solved by the people of Buncarragh - not for lack of speculation. Her mother, Patricia, had been assumed a spinster until she began dating a mysterious man from out of town and within months had left Buncarragh and had married. Less than two years later, Patricia was back, with a new baby in her arms but no new husband by her side and unbendingly silent about her recent past. A secret she would take with her to her grave. Now, as Elizabeth returns to the village after her mother's funeral, bringing with her her own regrets and wounds, she finds a thin pile of ribbon-bound letters at the back of a wardrobe that may at last hold the key to her past: Dear Lonely Leinster Lady, I'm not really sure how to begin....  ungekürzt.

    Twelve-year-old Frankie Bishop is a model kid: quiet and bright. So everyone, especially his family, is shocked when he's arrested for drug possession - and horrified when he's sentenced to juvenile detention at Eldridge Academy. His uncle, Bruce Kantor of the Help Innocent Prisoners Project, wants to help but knows he's too close to the case. His associate Dani Trumball has family worries of her own to deal with, but she knows Bruce wouldn't ask for help without cause. Just as she and her team begin to investigate, the case gets even thornier: Frankie is missing, and evidence points to an Eldridge cover-up. As the FBI launches a hunt for the boy, Dani knows something isn't right. Why would a minor's first offense earn such a harsh punishment? Unconvinced by the court documents, Dani is dogged in her pursuit of the truth that will save Frankie's future - if he still has one. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tanya Eby.

    Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2019Profoundly modern, deeply disturbed and darkly comic, The Pisces is about heartbroken PhD student who over one summer falls in dangerous, ecstatic love with a merman. Lucy, staying in a beautiful home overlooking Venice Beach, can find no peace from her misery - not in therapy, not in Tinder hookups, not in her sister's dog's unquestioning devotion, not in ruminating on the ancient Greeks. Yet everything changes when Lucy becomes entranced by an eerily attractive swimmer one night while sitting alone on the beach rocks.... Pairing neurotic hilarity with pulse-racing carnality and fierce feminism, The Pisces is hot, bothered and unforgettable. Traversing the lines between fantasy and reality, it explores the questions of how and why we stay alive. This fairy-tale romance with a merman could just be the sanest and most human novel you listen to all year.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Isabella Inchbald.

    What do you remember, what is important, what do you simply let go, sand piling on sand, until only the important events and memories are left? Much to the delight and good fortune of Arthur and Mary Bell, they were the proud parents of four strapping sons. Such a stroke of luck was vital to their survival on the Idaho plain, where every able-bodied young man was desperately needed to work the land. So when Mary gave birth to a baby girl, the family was befuddled. But they suffered no distress at the loss of another boy to help around the farm - they felt only absolute delight in their sweet Mercy May. Now, a lifetime later, Mercy recounts with poignant fondness the tales of her childhood in her rugged Idaho town.  Experience with the Bell family, friends, and neighbors the devastation of the Great Depression and the impact of years of war. From a dedicated farmer hit hard by despair to a good-hearted reverend to the gentle brothers who brought light during the darkest of times, each individual’s story weaves a vital thread into the rich tapestry of one woman’s incredible life. ungekürzt.

    Dem Buchhändler Friedrich Keller wird von einem verwahrlosten Unbekannten ein Manuskript mit Gedichten zugespielt. Keller, neurotischer Einzelgänger und passionierter Kenner der Dichtkunst, beginnt eines Tages das Manuskript zu lesen und entdeckt bald, dass ihm ein Meisterwerk vorliegt. Geraume Zeit später erkennt er den Mann auf der Straße wieder und folgt ihm spontan in die derbe Welt einer Säufer- und Hurenkneipe, wo er das Gespräch mit dem Genie sucht. Die Begegnung bringt seine Welt ins Wanken. Als der Dichter eines Tages bei Keller zuhause aufkreuzt, gerät sie vollends aus den Fugen. Was war geschehen?Steven Uhly nutzt das Spiel von Dichtung und Wahrheit in so raffinierter Weise, dass man nicht zu entscheiden vermag, ob "Den blinden Göttern" Krimi, Burleske oder hermeneutische Deutung ist. Vor allem aber wird nicht klar, ob hier eine wahre Geschichte vorliegt oder aber die Persiflage einer solchen. Denn die Gedichte gibt es wirklich und sie sind - zumindest will es uns so scheinen - meisterhaft.Steven Uhly hat dem Verlag gegenüber diesbezüglich sehr widersprüchliche Äußerungen gemacht. Wir hatten daher kurzfristig in Erwägung gezogen, auf eine Veröffentlichung zu verzichten, da wir die Befürchtung hegten, in eine Grauzone zu geraten. Doch die außergewöhnliche Qualität beider Manuskripte - die Sonett-Sammlung und die ihr zur Seite gestellte Erzählung - ließ uns keine andere Wahl. deutsch.
