Sarah Harrison Knihy

Humoristický román o ženě středních let, jejích peripetiích, vášních a milostných dobrodružstvích.

Harriet se na čas rozchází s manželem a hledá způsob, jak skloubit péči o dvě děti, zaměstnání a touhu po větší nezávislosti.

Ironie a suchý anglický humor - základní úhel pohledu, jímž Harriet Blairová popisuje rodinné prázdniny na jihu Francie. Je to zábavný příběh, velmi dobře napsaný, který dává nahlédnout vtipným dialogem do charakteru několika lidí. Její největší půvab je v humorném podání těch nejvšednějších událostí.

A story of human triumph over the deprivations of war and following the fate of schoolboy friends brought together again as Japanese prisoners of war during World War II.

Jen and Isla have nothing in common - except their love for the same man. Isla is Richard's wife of ten years: they make a handsome, gifted and admired couple. Jen has been his mistress for nearly as long: with her he is someone else entirely. When a chance meeting brings the two women together, each is forced to re-evaluate the man she thought she knew. But after the initial shock subsides, they begin an enduring friendship that survives the worst tragedy either can imagine: Richard's premature death.

A powerful and moving tale of family, love and loyalty from the author of the million-copy bestseller THE FLOWERS OF THE FIELD and A FLOWER THAT'S FREE.

The superb, bestselling novel of one family, and the devastating changes brought by the First World War.

Adeline Gundry was raised to be a perfect lady in a perfect Edwardian world of rank and privilege. But she had other ideas. She wanted independence and passion. From her idyllic childhood in Devon to her glorious success as an artist, Adeline lives her life to the full - a woman of her times.

The Nagas of Northeast India, radically different in culture and beliefs from the better-known Hindu peoples of the plains, were renowned in the years before Indian independence for their fierce resistance to British rule and for their practice of head-hunting. Although sharing many social and cultural traits, the thousands of small Naga villages often vary greatly from one another, and the Nagas display both unity and diversity in their dress and ornament. Their vibrant material culture is generously illustrated here in color photographs that display textiles, basketry, jewelry, weapons, metalwork, and carvings. Drawing on a diverse range of historical materials, the authors examine how the notion of tribes came to be applied to the Nagas and point out its subsequent importance in the development of contemporary Naga nationalism.

Sequel to the international bestseller, THE FLOWERS OF THE FIELD, this is an epic novel set amid the turbulence of the Second World War. 'This is the second in the trilogy and, like the first, I cannot put it down. Sarah Harrison is such a good writer' Amazon reviewer, 5 stars Kate Kingsley remembers little of her early childhood, other than the devastation of being torn away from everything she knew in France and sent to live as the adopted daughter of Jack and Thea in Kenya. Now 20, she leaves for a new life in London. But this is 1936 - a time of decadence, but also turmoil. Kate finds an unexpected ally in her Aunt Dulcie, whose own life is anything but straightforward. When Kate falls in love she believes she has found a soul mate.
