A tour de force that echoes modern classics like Suite Francaise and The Postmistress. "Housekeeper or housewife?" the soldier asks Silvana as she and eight- year-old Aurek board the ship that will take them from Poland to England at the end of World War II. There her husband, Janusz, is already waiting for them at the little house at 22 Britannia Road. But the war has changed them all so utterly that they'll barely recognize one another when they are reunited. "Survivor," she answers. Silvana and Aurek spent the war hiding in the forests of Poland. Wild, almost feral Aurek doesn't know how to tie his own shoes or sleep in a bed. Janusz is an Englishman now-determined to forget Poland, forget his own ghosts from the way, and begin a new life as a proper English family. But for Silvana, who cannot escape the painful memory of a shattering wartime act, forgetting is not a possibility. One of the most searing debuts to come along in years, 22 Britannia Road. is the wrenching chronicle of how these damaged people try to become, once again, a true family. An unforgettable novel that cries out for discussion, it is a powerful story of primal maternal love, overcoming hardship, and, ultimately, acceptance-one that will pierce your heart.

»Haushälterin oder Ehefrau?«, fragt der Soldat Silvana, als sie und der siebenjährige Aurek am Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges an Bord des Schiffes gehen, das sie von Polen nach England bringen wird. Was soll Silvana erwidern? Sie weiß nicht mehr, ob die Worte ›Haus‹ und ›Ehe‹ noch irgendetwas mit ihr zu tun haben. Und Janusz, der sie nach Jahren der Trennung erwartet? Janusz versucht zu vergessen, was war, und träumt von einer englischen Art von Glück.Drei Menschen, bestimmt von emotionaler Entfremdung, von Sehnsucht und Verrat, mit dem unbedingten Wunsch, zusammenzugehören. Hodgkinsons Sprache ist von großer Eindringlichkeit und Ruhe. Atmosphärisch dicht und in filmischen Bildern bringt sie einen sanft-melancholischen Ton zum Klingen, der einen eigenen Zauber entfaltet.

Silvana s osmiletým synkem míří po hrůzných letech živoření a skrývání v lese z válkou zničeného Polska do Anglie, kde už na ně čeká její manžel Janusz, který proti Hitlerovi bojoval jako člen polských perutí Královského letectva. Ze všech sil se snaží přichystat své dávno ztracené rodině nový a šťastnější začátek. Ale šestileté odloučení a temná tajemství nedávné minulosti všechny změnila. Dokážou se ti dva smířit sami se sebou a svými prožitky, přijmout vzájemné rozdíly a udělat za minulostí tlustou čáru? A dokáže se divoký chlapec podělit o matku s tím cizím mužem, který se náhle zjevil v jeho životě a nárokuje si právo jednat s ním jako se svým synem?

From the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places—soon to be a Netflix film starring Elle Fanning—comes a spellbinding story of a secret mission and dangerous passion in World War II Paris. After delivering a B-17 Flying Fortress to Britain, an American volunteers to copilot a plane carrying special agents to their drop spot over Normandy. Her personal mission: to find her brother, who is missing in action. After her plane is shot down, though, she’s on the run for her life. In Paris, the beautiful aviatrix Velva Jean Hart becomes Clementine Roux, a daring woman on an epic adventure with her team to capture an operative known only as “Swan.” Once settled on Rue de la Néva, Clementine works as a spy with the Resistance and finds herself falling in love with her fellow agent, Émile, a handsome and mysterious Frenchman with secrets of his own. When Clementine ends up in the most brutal prison in Paris, trying to help Émile and the team rescue Swan, she discovers the depths of human cruelty, the triumph of her own spirit, and the bravery of her team, who will stop at nothing to carry out their mission. Readers of 22 Britannia Road, The Postmistress, and Suite Francaise will cherish Becoming Clementine—a romantic World War II adventure told from the perspective of a courageous and beautiful heroine.

A dazzling debut novel of love and loss, faith and atonement, on an untamed nineteenth-century Scottish island. Exquisitely written and profoundly moving, Island of Wings is a richly imagined novel about two people struggling to keep their love, and their family, alive in a place of extreme hardship and unearthly beauty. Everything lies ahead for Lizzie and Neil McKenzie when they arrive at the St. Kilda islands in July of 1830. Neil is to become the minister to the small community of islanders, and Lizzie-bright, beautiful, and devoted-is pregnant with their first child. As the two adjust to life at the edge of civilization, where the natives live in squalor and babies perish mysteriously, their marriage-and their sanity-are soon threatened.
