Volné pokračování titulu Felix z nástupiště č. 1 – další povídání o kocourovi, který není kocour, ale kočka, a o yorkshirské železniční stanici Huddersfield. Kniha s vtipným a laskavým nadhledem zachycuje každodenní život na nádraží, zdejší zaměstnance, různé postavičky a návštěvníky. Felix je stále miláčkem publika, a to i na sociálních sítích, a autorka popisuje její další výpravy za dobrodružstvím. Nová řada veselých i napínavých příhod se sympatickou kočičí hrdinkou si uchovává pohodovou atmosféru předchozí knihy.
Když se zaměstnanci yorskhirského nádraží rozhodnou ctít tradici a pořídit si nádražní kočku, rozběhne se kolotoč veselých i dojemných příhod a nová posila týmu neunikne pozornosti médií ani divadelníků. Jak se Felix postupně sžívá s nezvyklým prostředím, prozkoumává nástupiště i tajemný labyrint tunelů, nachází si kamarády, učí se lovit myši a prodávat jízdenky, její sláva se šíří mezi cestujícími i za hranice nádraží. Laskavé povídání o jedné železniční stanici v zapadlém severoanglickém kraji dýchne na čtenáře starosvětskou atmosférou a ukazuje, že když se to vezme správně do tlapek, nemusí být nic ztraceno.
From the internationally bestselling author of The Radium Girlscomes a dark but ultimately uplifting tale of a woman whose incredible journey still resonates today. Elizabeth Packard was an ordinary Victorian housewife and mother of six. That was, until the first Woman's Rights Convention was held in 1848, inspiring Elizabeth and many other women to dream of greater freedoms. She began voicing her opinions on politics and religion -- opinions that her husband did not share. Incensed and deeply threatened by her growing independence, he had her declared 'slightly insane' and committed to an asylum. Inside the Illinois State Hospital, Elizabeth found many other perfectly lucid women who, like her, had been betrayed by their husbands and incarcerated for daring to have a voice. But just because you are sane, doesn't mean that you can escape a madhouse ... Fighting the stigma of her gender and her supposed madness, Elizabeth embarked on a ceaseless quest for justice. It not only challenged the medical science of the day and saved untold others from suffering her fate, it ultimately led to a giant leap forward in human rights the world over.
