An Expat's Life, Luxembourg & The White Rose is a refreshing and forthright take on the Englishman Abroad genre.

Indeed, as the tome progresses, so the reader warms to Robinson's down-to-earth character. The author's very personal view of an expat's life in Luxembourg is not overbearing, and even the most informed reader will learn something new about the history of the Grand Duchy, its bureaucracy and social conventions and attitudes. The book is brimful with little snippets of useful information and trivia for those unfamiliar with the country, and Robinson's anecdotes will spark empathy with readers who live, or have lived, in Luxembourg. --Duncan Roberts, editor of 352 Magazine.

This novel is inspired by real-life stories of my fellow bus passengers, acquaintances and colleague. After a two-year romance with Laurent, Adele got pregnant. He married her but could not remember proposing; it just happened. They experienced the blissful excitement of falling in love and being protective parents to Grace and Mike. After 15 years, however, Adele can only see better times. They have changed over the years, and so has the nature of their relationship; volatile submission has taken over magical respect. They do not hold hands in public anymore, and their stylish mobile phones are not left unattended. Grace's avalanche of exquisite and nagging pain caused by her father continues into adulthood, which is only lessened by the enchanting appearance in her life of a caring and understanding lover. Mike is frantic about his parents' text messages and worries of an imminent full-blown drama. Is he wading through this jeopardy unscratched? Anne is not only a friend who helps Adele cope with psychological and emotional challenges but is the best fabric that keeps her warm and sane. They become flustered upon knowing the hovering of the significant other, whose messy and ignominious demise is in everyone's mind. Who is the unwitting culprit?

From the author of the New York Times-bestselling and Edgar Award-winning The Expats As dawn approaches in New York, literary agent Isabel Reed is turning the final pages of a mysterious, anonymous manuscript, racing through the explosive revelations about powerful people, as well as long-hidden secrets about her own past. In Copenhagen, veteran CIA operative Hayden Gray, determined that this sweeping story be buried, is suddenly staring down the barrel of an unexpected gun. And in Zurich, the author himself is hiding in a shadowy expat life, trying to atone for a lifetime’s worth of lies and betrayals with publication of The Accident, while always looking over his shoulder. Over the course of one long, desperate, increasingly perilous day, these lives collide as the book begins its dangerous march toward publication, toward saving or ruining careers and companies, placing everything at risk—and everyone in mortal peril. The rich cast of characters—in publishing and film, politics and espionage—are all forced to confront the consequences of their ambitions, the schisms between their ideal selves and the people they actually became. The action rockets around Europe and across America, with an intricate web of duplicities stretching back a quarter-century to a dark winding road in upstate New York, where the shocking truth about the accident itself is buried. Gripping, sophisticated, layered, and impossible to put down, The Accident proves once again that Chris Pavone is a true master of suspense.

Early on the morning of May 10, 1940, twelve-year-old Marguerite Thill was awakened by the cries of her father warning the family that the Nazis were about to invade their country of Luxembourg. By that evening, Marguerite Gretchen, as she was called her three sisters, and their parents had donned several layers of clothing and left on foot, along with hundreds of others, to escape into France. This marked the beginning of an amazing odyssey. For the next three months, the family lived as refugees, trying, sometimes without success, to stay one step ahead of the Nazis. They slept in filthy barns, acquired lice, went without food and water, and huddled in ditches while bombs fell around them. Once the French government was able to establish some organization, Gretchen and her family were transported to Montbard, where they were placed into the home of two elderly ladies who had a spare room. Just as they had begun to feel safe and relaxed, they were moved to the tiny village of Cruchy, where they were placed into a house that had not been inhabited since WWI. When a troop of German soldiers took partial possession of the house, Gretchen's father quickly developed the habit of sleeping with an axe at his side, the only method at his disposal to protect his wife and four daughters from the German commander sleeping in the next room and the soldiers in their tents pitched in the orchard just outside. Throughout their enforced travels, Gretchen and her family beheld gruesome images of corpses, blood-drenched streets, wounded war horses, a mother killed with her baby's carriage still at her side. When the family was able to return to Luxembourg, it was to a homeland which would remain occupied by the Nazis for the next four years. Swastikas draped every building. German troops goose-stepped down the streets. Speakers broadcast Hitler's speeches day and night. Nazis stood at the back of the church, once a place of great comfort, to ensure the priest said nothing against them. Along with the rest of the nation, Gretchen and her family had their fuel and food severely rationed. Allowed little more than was needed to survive, they were often hungry. And as was not unusual in that time and place, Gretchen had adult expectations placed upon her: holding a baby pig while a farmer slaughtered it so the family could have some meat; standing in line all night at the local butcher for a pound of horse meat; acting as her family's look-out while her parents listened to anti-Nazi BBC; sneaking food to Luxembourg boys who had gone underground. Growing into young womanhood, she weathered every hardship with the quiet courage that would come to mark her generation. Four years and four months after her nation's flight into France, the Allies liberated Luxembourg. The Thill household became a favorite visiting spot for the American G.I.s as word had spread that Madame Thill spoke English. The soldiers brought gallon cans of food, and Gretchen was introduced to peanut butter. At the age of seventeen, she began working at American Headquarters in Luxembourg City, where she met an American soldier whom she soon married. She then joined the thousands of other war brides who sailed for America. She and her new husband settled in his hometown of Duluth, where they started living a life of selfless hard work so their children could grow up to enjoy lives that would not include fear or hunger. Gretchen would never again feel the ground shake with cannon fire, but her memories of a life interrupted by history would remain with her in the form of that quiet courage which has always allowed her to stare down tragedy.

CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria argues for a renewed commitment to the world’s most valuable educational tradition. The liberal arts are under attack. The governors of Florida, Texas, and North Carolina have all pledged that they will not spend taxpayer money subsidizing the liberal arts, and they seem to have an unlikely ally in President Obama. While at a General Electric plant in early 2014, Obama remarked, "I promise you, folks can make a lot more, potentially, with skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree." These messages are hitting home: majors like English and history, once very popular and highly respected, are in steep decline. "I get it," writes Fareed Zakaria, recalling the atmosphere in India where he grew up, which was even more obsessed with getting a skills-based education. However, the CNN host and best-selling author explains why this widely held view is mistaken and shortsighted. Zakaria eloquently expounds on the virtues of a liberal arts education—how to write clearly, how to express yourself convincingly, and how to think analytically. He turns our leaders' vocational argument on its head. American routine manufacturing jobs continue to get automated or outsourced, and specific vocational knowledge is often outdated within a few years. Engineering is a great profession, but key value-added skills you will also need are creativity, lateral thinking, design, communication, storytelling, and, more than anything, the ability to continually learn and enjoy learning—precisely the gifts of a liberal education. Zakaria argues that technology is transforming education, opening up access to the best courses and classes in a vast variety of subjects for millions around the world. We are at the dawn of the greatest expansion of the idea of a liberal education in human history.

Anyone that has read NAKED and BARREL FEVER, or heard David Sedaris speaking live or on the radio will tell you that a new collection from him is cause for jubilation. His recent move to Paris from New York inspired these hilarious new pieces, including 'Me Talk Pretty One Day', about his attempts to learn French from a sadistic teacher who declares that 'every day spent with you is like having a caesarean section'. His family is another inspiration. 'You Can't Kill the Rooster' is a portrait of his brother, who talks incessant hip-hop slang to his bewildered father. And no one hones a finer fury in response to such modern annoyances as restaurant meals presented in ludicrous towers of food and cashiers with six-inch fingernails.
