+++ 3 in 1: Die drei Cornwall-Besteller "Tausche Alltag gegen Insel", "Tausche Alltag gegen Glück" und "Tausche Alltag gegen Horizont" in einem Band +++ Tausche Alltag gegen Insel (Cornwall 1) Kunstlehrerin Vivian würde ihrem Leben bestenfalls die Note 4 geben: Ihre große Liebe ist weg, ihre Arbeit ein Kompromiss und ihr Alltag festgefahren. Nur ihr attraktiver Kollege Jonas sorgt für gelegentliche Hochgefühle. Bevor sich die beiden jedoch näherkommen können, erhält Vivian einen unerwarteten Anruf aus England. Es folgen eine spontane Reise auf die Scilly-Inseln vor der Küste Cornwalls, eine Beerdigung der etwas anderen Art und eine schmerzhafte Begegnung mit ihrer Vergangenheit. Bald nach ihrer Rückkehr zeigt sich, dass der Kurztrip für Vivian alles verändern könnte. Aber will sie das überhaupt? Tausche Alltag gegen Glück (Cornwall 2) Vivian Steiner hat es getan: Sie hat ihren Job als Lehrerin gekündigt, um ihr Leben neu zu gestalten. Nicht im heimatlichen München, sondern auf St. Mary's, einer kleinen Insel vor der Küste Cornwalls. Hier, in der »Südsee Englands«, will sie die Galerie ihres verstorbenen leiblichen Vaters weiterführen und als freie Fotografin ihr Glück versuchen. Doch es ist nicht alles eitel Sonnenschein im Insel-Paradies, im Gegenteil. Zwar muss sie keine Schüler mehr bändigen und Lehrpläne befolgen, aber eine verrückte Praktikantin, eine verheerende Vernissage, fehlende Sicherheit und eine Fernbeziehung machen ihr den Alltag nicht gerade leicht. War sie zu naiv? Ehe Vivian sich versieht, ist sie auch in St. Mary's gefangen in Problemen - und der Traum vom Neubeginn droht zu platzen ... Tausche Alltag gegen Horizont (Cornwall 3) Ein Cottage mit Meerblick und eine eigene Galerie machen noch kein perfektes Leben. Das hatte Vivian auch nicht erwartet, als sie vor zwei Jahren von München auf die idyllische Insel St. Mary's vor der Küste Cornwalls gezogen war. Als Fotografin zufrieden und mit Paddy glücklich sein, mehr wollte sie nicht. Doch ihre beruflichen und privaten Pläne werden durch eine Verkettung unglücklicher Umstände jäh durchkreuzt. Vivian muss rasch handeln, damit nicht alles auseinanderbricht, was sie sich auf St. Mary's aufgebaut hat. Ein lukrativer Auftrag führt sie nach New York, doch dort wird alles noch viel komplizierter. Denn Vivian wird völlig unerwartet mit der eigenen Vergangenheit konfrontiert - und trifft eine fragwürdige Entscheidung.

FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER RECIPIENT OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE ORANGE PRIZE FOR FICTION 2009 WINNER OF THE ORANGE YOUTH PANEL AWARD 2009 FINALIST FOR THE HURSTON WRIGHT LEGACY AWARD 2010 'A phenomenal book. It is so ingenious and so novel. Think The Handmaid's Tale meets Noughts and Crosses with a bit of Jonathan Swift and Lewis Carroll thrown in. This should be thought of as a feminist classic.' Women's Prize for Fiction Podcast Welcome to a world turned upside down. One minute, Doris, from England, is playing hide-and-seek with her sisters in the fields behind their cottage. The next, someone puts a bag over her head and she ends up in the hold of a slave-ship sailing to the New World . . . In this fantastically imaginative inversion of the transatlantic slave trade - in which 'whytes' are enslaved by black people - Bernardine Evaristo has created a thought-provoking satire that is as accessible and readable as it is intelligent and insightful. Blonde Roots brings the shackles and cries of long-ago barbarity uncomfortably close and raises timely questions about the society of today. 'A bold and brilliant game of counterfactual history. Evaristo keep[s] her wit and anger at a spicy simmer throughout' Daily Telegraph 'So human and real. Re-imagines past and present with refreshing humour and intelligence' Guardian 'A brilliant satire whose flashes of comedy make the underlying tragedy all the more poignant' Scotland on Sunday

I scarcely know where to begin, though I sometimes facetiously place the cause of it all to Charley Furuseth's credit. He kept a summer cottage in Mill Valley, under the shadow of Mount Tamalpais, and never occupied it except when he loafed through the winter months and read Nietzsche and Schopenhauer to rest his brain. When summer came on, he elected to sweat out a hot and dusty existence in the city and to toil incessantly. Had it not been my custom to run up to see him every Saturday afternoon and to stop over till Monday morning, this particular January Monday morning would not have found me afloat on San Francisco Bay. Not but that I was afloat in a safe craft, for the Martinez was a new ferry-steamer, making her fourth or fifth trip on the run between Sausalito and San Francisco. The danger lay in the heavy fog which blanketed the bay, and of which, as a landsman, I had little apprehension. In fact, I remember the placid exaltation with which I took up my position on the forward upper deck, directly beneath the pilot-house, and allowed the mystery of the fog to lay hold of my imagination. A fresh breeze was blowing, and for a time I was alone in the moist obscurity-yet not alone, for I was dimly conscious of the presence of the pilot, and of what I took to be the captain, in the glass house above my head.

Now in one volume, the first three books of the Jersey Shore Mysteries DEAD MAN'S FLOAT HER OLD HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH HAS CLEANED UP HIS ACT ... Annie Hardaway is a reluctant expert on house-cleaning, horticulture, and pet care, who specializes in making some of the country's most famous how-to writers look good in print. But when her long-ago high school crush is found dead in their New Jersey shore hometown, Anne has no idea "how-to" find out the truth. BY WASHING UP ON SHORE ... When Tigger Mills returned home to archly conservative devoutly religious Oceanside Heights, no one was happy to see him. Tigger left twenty years ago after being accused of setting fire to an old hotel that killed the owner's little girl. Though the always maintained his innocence, no one believed him - except then teenager Anne Hardaway. After Tigger's lifeless body is pulled from the surf, everyone but Anne assumes it was suicide. Now this woman with a relentless knack for research makes it her mission to tackle the town's closed minds, curious suspicions and ancient lies, to dredge the past and uncover a twenty-year-old motive for present-day murder. DEATH AT HIGH TIDE Oceanside Heights Becomes Hollywood By The Sea In the quaint New Jersey seaside town of Ocean Heights, freelance ghostwriter Anne Hardaway is frustrated by her latest assignment: a tell-all autobiography of Mallory Loving, the former local sexpot who has made it big in movies. Even though Mallory's new film is being shot in town, Anne finds that her high-profile subject is a first-class prima donna. And Anne isn't the only one having a hard time with the ego-driven star. But Murder Wasn't In The Script Treating the film's crew, cast, locals and her husband like personal minions, Mallory is a woman whose popularity, like her career, is on the wane. As several accidents delay shooting, a series of threatening letters from a deranged fan unsettle the star's fragile nerves. In the midst of the turmoil, the actress disappears-only to resurface as a corpse. Though the police rule the death as an accident, Anne suspects murder. Using the biography as her calling card, Anne begins an investigation into Mallory's murder to determine which suspect is only "acting" innocent. DEATH'S A BEACH A Brutal Storm Unearths A 20-Year-Old Secret ... An out-of-season nor'easter tears across the New Jersey coast, and the beach community of Oceanside Heights is a mess. Ghostwriter Anne Hardaway's cottage-by-the-sea has seen better days to begin with, but she reluctantly decides to repair her rotting basement floor. Never mind that her newest assignment is writing a "how-to" home repair book for women-she still can barely tell a flat head from a Phillips, a lack of skill she's grateful for when her handyman finds a twenty-year-old skeleton buried in the dirt beneath her basement's wooden floor. And The Forecast Calls For A Chance Of Scattered Murders When her gruesome guest turns out to be the psychologist who treated her mother in the mid-70's, Anne must consider whether her own mother could have been the killer. Some discreet investigating soon leads Anne to Sunnydale Nursing Home where elderly clients are dying at an alarming rate and the staff makes Nurse Ratched look endearing. Before she can say riptide, Anne is hip deep in the residue of a killer storm and uncovering a tale of dark desire that makes the climate ripe for more murder.

Instant New York Times Bestseller Hilarious and big-hearted, The Nest is a stellar debut.” — People, Book of the Week Her writing is like really good dark chocolate: sharper and more bittersweet than the cheap stuff, but also too delicious not to finish in one sitting.”— Entertainment Weekly Humor and delightful irony abound in this lively first novel.”— New York Times Book Review A warm, funny and acutely perceptive debut novel about four adult siblings and the fate of the shared inheritance that has shaped their choices and their lives. Every family has its problems. But even among the most troubled, the Plumb family stands out as spectacularly dysfunctional. Years of simmering tensions finally reach a breaking point on an unseasonably cold afternoon in New York City as Melody, Beatrice, and Jack Plumb gather to confront their charismatic and reckless older brother, Leo, freshly released from rehab. Months earlier, an inebriated Leo got behind the wheel of a car with a nineteen-year-old waitress as his passenger. The ensuing accident has endangered the Plumbs' joint trust fund, The Nest;” which they are months away from finally receiving. Meant by their deceased father to be a modest mid-life supplement, the Plumb siblings have watched The Nest's value soar along with the stock market and have been counting on the money to solve a number of self-inflicted problems. Melody, a wife and mother in an upscale suburb, has an unwieldy mortgage and looming college tuition for her twin teenage daughters. Jack, an antiques dealer, has secretly borrowed against the beach cottage he shares with his husband, Walker, to keep his store open. And Bea, a once-promising short-story writer, just can't seem to finish her overdue novel. Can Leo rescue his siblings and, by extension, the people they love? Or will everyone need to reimagine the futures they've envisioned? Brought together as never before, Leo, Melody, Jack, and Beatrice must grapple with old resentments, present-day truths, and the significant emotional and financial toll of the accident, as well as finally acknowledge the choices they have made in their own lives. This is a story about the power of family, the possibilities of friendship, the ways we depend upon one another and the ways we let one another down. In this tender, entertaining, and deftly written debut, Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney brings a remarkable cast of characters to life to illuminate what money does to relationships, what happens to our ambitions over the course of time, and the fraught yet unbreakable ties we share with those we love.

'Once upon a time in mid-winter, when the snowflakes were falling from the sky like down, a queen was sitting and sewing at a window ...' The tales gathered by the Grimm brothers are at once familiar, fantastic, homely, and frightening. They seem to belong to no time, or to some distant feudal age of fairytale imagining. Grand palaces, humble cottages, and the forest full of menace are their settings; and they are peopled by kings and princesses, witches and robbers, millers and golden birds, stepmothers and talking frogs. Regarded from their inception both as uncosy nursery stories and as raw material for the folklorist the tales were in fact compositions, collected from literate tellers and shaped into a distinctive kind of literature. This new translation mirrors the apparent artlessness of the Grimms, and fully represents the range of less well-known fables, morality tales, and comic stories as well as the classic tales. It takes the stories back to their roots in German Romanticism and includes variant stories and tales that were deemed unsuitable for children. In her fascinating introduction, Joyce Crick explores their origins, and their literary evolution at the hands of the Grimms. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Pull up a lounge chair and have a cocktail at Sunset Beach - it comes with a twist. Drue Campbell's life is adrift. Out of a job and down on her luck, life doesn't seem to be getting any better when her estranged father, Brice Campbell, a flamboyant personal injury attorney, shows up at her mother's funeral after a twenty-year absence. Worse, he's remarried - to Drue's eighth grade frenemy, Wendy, now his office manager. And they're offering her a job. It seems like the job from hell, but the offer is sweetened by the news of her inheritance - her grandparents' beach bungalow in the sleepy town of Sunset Beach, a charming but storm-damaged eyesore now surrounded by waterfront McMansions. With no other prospects, Drue begrudgingly joins the firm, spending her days screening out the grifters whose phone calls flood the law office. Working with Wendy is no picnic either.

With an office romance building, a decades-old missing persons case re-opened, and a cottage in rehab, one thing is for sure at Sunset Beach: there's a storm on the horizon.
