A “luminous” story of love and sorrow spanning from London to Romania, from a prize-winning novelist (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Kitty Crozier first laid eyes on Virgil Florescu, a dissident poet who swam across the Danube to escape Ceausescu’s Romania, in the hospital. She woke up after surgery to find a stranger sitting beside her bed gazing at her. He just smiled, then stood and left the room. She next sees him in London’s Green Park picking up litter from the grass with a long spike. So begins the most important, most demanding, most exhilarating relationship of Kitty’s life. As their love for each other deepens, their previous lives, and very different families, reveal themselves to be oddly connected, in this novel from a recipient of literary honors including a Somerset Maugham Award, an E. M. Forster Award, and a George Orwell Prize, as well as two Man Booker Prize nominations. “At once a wistful and tender love story and a harrowing account of how people from two utterly different cultures and ways of looking at the world can find, then lose, each other . . . Virgil is a superb creation.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A love story set in Romania and England by the author of the Booker shortlisted bestseller, 'Gabriel's Lament'. Paul Bailey's most ambitious novel yet. Kitty Crozier wakes up in a hospital ward and finds a stranger looking down at her. Thus begins the most important, most demanding, most exhilarating relationship of Kitty's life. Her lover's name is Virgil Florescu, a poet who has escaped from Ceausescu's Romania. As their liaison deepens, more is revealed of their previous lives and of their different families. Both Kitty and Virgil have unusual fathers: Kitty's is a phenomenally accomplished philanderer, while Virgil's has changed his political allegiances from left to right and back again in order to ensure his survival. The book is rich in characters and despite its tragic theme -- which is not revealed until late in the narrative -- is often fiendishly funny. For all its concern with public issues of morality, it is very much about family life -- or rather, that of two distinct families with interesting histories and secrets, not all of them unhappy.

Kitty Crozier ne sait rien des bouleversements intimes qu'elle s'apprête à connaître lorsqu'elle rencontre Virgil Constantinescu dans un jardin public de Londres. Ni son dandy de père, Felix, ni sa sœur jumelle, Daisy, avec leurs modes de vie et leurs arrogantes certitudes, n'ont jamais perçu l'exigence morale qui habite Kitty. Virgil Constantinescu, poète roumain réfugié à Londres et vivant d'expédients, a fui la décadence d'un système à l'agonie, un passé de violence et d'intolérance. L'image de son père, Constantin, nationaliste fervent qui revendiquait avec hargne son origine romaine, le hante. Nous sommes dans les dernières années du régime des Ceausescu. Le miracle de l'amour est alors que deux êtres, Kitty et Virgil, vont se révéler l'un à l'autre. Et cette idylle est-ouest devient la métaphore d'une Europe une et pourtant divisée pendant de si longues années.

(Re)Writing War in Contemporary Literature and Culture: Beyond Post-Memory is an exploration of war narratives through the lens of postmemory, offering a critical re-evaluation of how contemporary literature and cultural products reshape our understanding of past conflicts. This volume presents a rich tapestry of perspectives, drawing from an array of conflicts and incorporating insights from international experts across various disciplines, including contemporary literature, film studies, visual arts, and cultural studies. It critically builds upon and extends Marianne Hirsch's concept of postmemory, engaging with complex themes like the ethical dimensions of war writing, the authenticity of representations, and the creative power of art in reimagining traumatic events. This study not only challenges traditional boundaries in war literature and memory studies but also resonates with contemporary concerns about societal engagement with violent pasts, making it a significant addition to scholarly discourse and essential reading for those interested in the intersection of history, memory, and literature.

Christopher Isherwood was a celebrated English writer when he met the Californian teenager Don Bachardy on a Santa Monica beach in 1952. They spent their first night together on Valentine’s Day 1953. Defying the conventions, the two men began living as an openly gay couple in an otherwise closeted Hollywood. The Animals provides a loving testimony of an extraordinary relationship that lasted until Chris’s death in 1986 – and survived affairs (on both sides) and a thirty-year-age-gap. In romantic letters to one another, the couple created the private world of the Animals. Chris was Dobbin, a stubborn old workhorse; Don was the playful young white cat, Kitty. But Don needed to carve out his own identity – some of their longest sequences of letters were exchanged during his trips to London and New York, to pursue his career as an artist and to widen his emotional and sexual horizons. Amidst the intimate domestic dramas, we learn of Isherwood’s continuing literary success –the royalty cheques from Cabaret, the acclaim for his pioneering novel A Single Man – and the bohemian whirl of Californian film suppers and beach life. Don, whose portraits of London theatreland were making his name, attends the world premiere of The Innocents with Truman Capote and afterwards dines with Deborah Kerr and the rest of the cast, spends weekends with Tennessee Williams, Cecil Beton, or the Earl and Countess of Harewood, and tours Egypt and Greece with a new love interest. But whatever happens in the outside world, Dobbin and Kitty always return to their ‘Basket’ and to each other. Candid, gossipy, exceptionally affectionate, The Animals is a unique interplay between two creative spirits, confident in their mutual devotion.

This contribution to imagology, the science which deals with images and stereotypes that people have of a nation, examines the complicated game of mirroring that both the British and the Romanians play when trying to define themselves and others, drawing on national images as reflected in fiction.

You're never too old to be murdered . . . An unexpected floral delivery sparks panic when Kat Harper spies lilies within the mix. She's well aware that lilies kill cats, but she never dreams her decision to donate the lethal bouquet to a retirement home will thrust her into another murder investigation. That's exactly what happens though when one of the elderly residents is found dead shortly after Kat's arrival—and Eugenia Pierce's passing isn't from natural causes. With the surviving residents acting as though they're part of an unscripted Murder, She Wrote episode, Kat has her hands full trying to figure out "whodunit." Luckily, the amateur sleuth's tortoiseshell cat Matty proves to be a big hit in her undercover role as therapy animal. While the seniors are busy fawning over their four-legged visitor, they're also filling Kat in on all of the latest gossip, including Eugenia's romantic interest in the home's most eligible bachelor. But despite how the feisty widows may have been eager to eliminate their prime competition for the affections of the octogenarian "house hottie," they're not the only ones with motive. As it turns out, Eugenia exchanged some harsh words with the staff shortly before her death. And Kat can't discount Eugenia's daughter Ingrid either, not when the unemployed technology guru is due to inherit all of her mother's assets. The abundance of suspects won't deter Kat though. She's determined to figure out who, exactly, is guilty. And when she does, she'd better hope she doesn't become the next victim. All of the Cozy Cat Caper Mystery books can be enjoyed as standalones but will be better appreciated as part of the series. The books are light, fun cozy mysteries featuring an animal-loving female amateur sleuth, lovable and not-so-lovable quirky characters, and a page-turning mystery that needs solving.
