In 1944 Henry Tillotson brings his new wife, Mararet, home to his farmhouse in the English countryside. Margaret is a strange, unpleasant woman, determined, it seems, to make Henry's life miserable. 'Poor Henry!' say his friends, as they visit at weekends and holidays. 'What an awful life he has!' But Henry is not at all the sad and disappointed man we might expect him to be. He manages to enjoy life, and indeed, has quite a lot of fun, one way and another ... Mary Wesley's story takes a sharp but light-hearted look at love, sex, and marriage - and the things people will do to get what they want

"Oh, how delightful it is to fall in love for the first time! How exciting to go to your first dance when you are a girl of eighteen! But life can also be hard and cruel, if you are young and inexperienced and travelling alone across Europe ... or if you are a child from the wrong social class ... or a singer without work and the rent to be paid. Set in Europe and New Zealand, these nine stories by Katherine Mansfield dig deep beneath the appearances of life to show us the causes of human happiness and despair." Publisher description

When James and Matthew spent the weekend with Henry Tillotson in 1954, they took an instant liking to the country house that Henry had inherited from his father. His wife was a bit odd though - she never seemed to get out of bed. Gossip suggested that Henry had inherited her as well.

Ze série Dalziel a Pascoe V příběhu Reginalda Hilla, považovaného v anglicky psané literatuře za špičku mezi autory kriminálního žánru, se na scénu znovu vrací dvojice policistů z hrabství Yorkshire, známá i ze seriálu ČT – Dalziel a Pascoe… Po prologu, kdy se čtenář stane svědkem toho, jak malý Patrick Alderman zaviní osudný srdeční infarkt své tety Florence, se děj příběhu posouvá o dvacet let dál. Jsme svědky Patrickova profesního růstu, který je však kalen podivnými událostmi. Vraždí Patrick ty, kdož mu stojí v cestě na vrchol? Jeho šéf, Dick Elgood, je přesvědčen, že tomu tak je, a se svým podezřením se svěří inspektoru Pascoeovi. Čím více se Pascoe noří do Patrickovy minulosti, tím více podezřelých úmrtí nachází. Takřka každý, kdo stál tomuto muži jakýmkoli způsobem v cestě, se stal obětí nějaké tragické nehody. A nyní se zdá, že je na řadě právě Elgood… Kniha Uschlé květy je pokládána za jedno z nejtemněji laděných a současně i nejpozoruhod­nějších Hillových děl.

Ke starostem bohatého průmyslníka Kinga o obchod a výdělky se přidruží další, daleko závažnější problém – má zaplatit horentní výkupné za uneseného chlapce. Jak se rozhodne? Hazardovat se životem dítěte si nedovolí ani ten nejotrlejší chlap. Ale únosci se musí zmocnit peněz tak, aby nebyli dopadeni. Sledují policejní vůz, takže ani řidič vozu, ani jeho posádka nevědí, v kterém okamžiku dojde k předání výkupného. Vypadá to důmyslně. Pro Steva Carellu a jeho kolegy z 87. revíru však dokonalý zločin neexistuje....
