      Judith vyrostla v Roswellské osadě, která se řídí přísnými zákony a zvyklostmi. Před čtyřmi lety ona a její nejlepší přítelkyně zmizely. Před dvěma lety se vrátila jen Judith, sama, nenáviděná a přehlížená těmi, kteří byli kdysi jejími přáteli a rodinou. Judith o svém zmizení nemůže promluvit. Žije jako duch ve vlastním domě a mlčky svěřuje své myšlenky a touhy Lucasovi, kterého miluje celý život. On o tom však nemá ani tušení. Když Roswellskou osadu napadnou nepřátelé, dlouho pohřbená tajemství začínají vycházet na světlo. Judith stojí před volbou, zda má žít dál v mlčení, nebo znovu pozvednout svůj hlas, i když to může znamenat, že svět i životy kolem ní se navždy změní.

      NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Perfect for fans of Divine Rivals, a critically acclaimed, multi-layered romance set in the perilous days of World Wars I and II, where gods hold the fates--and the hearts--of four mortals in their hands. "Pick an adjective—sweeping, sprawling, epic, Olympian—and yet none quite conveys the emotional width and depth of Julie Berry’s brilliant novel."—The Washington Post They are Hazel, James, Aubrey, and Colette. A classical pianist from London, a British would-be architect-turned-soldier, a Harlem-born ragtime genius in the U.S. Army, and a Belgian orphan with a gorgeous voice and a devastating past. Their story, as told by goddess Aphrodite, who must spin the tale or face judgment on Mount Olympus, is filled with hope and heartbreak, prejudice and passion, and reveals that, though War is a formidable force, it's no match for the transcendent power of Love. Hailed by critics, Lovely War has received seven starred reviews and is an indie bestseller. Author Julie Berry has been called "a modern master of historical fiction" by Bookpage and "a celestially inspired storyteller" by the New York Times, and Lovely War is truly her masterwork.

The students of St. Etheldreda's School for Girls face a bothersome dilemma. Their irascible headmistress, Mrs. Plackett, and her surly brother, Mr. Godding, have been most inconveniently poisoned at Sunday dinner. Now the school will almost certainly be closed and the girls sent home—unless these seven very proper young ladies can hide the murders and convince their neighbors that nothing is wrong. The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place is a smart, hilarious Victorian romp, full of outrageous plot twists, mistaken identities, and mysterious happenings.
