»Das ist die Geschichte, wie wir nach Frith gekommen sind. Und wir gehen hier nie, nie wieder weg.« Amy und Lan haben die beste Kindheit überhaupt. Sie leben auf einem kleinen Bauernhof im Westen Englands. Ihre Eltern sind gute Freunde, die aus der Stadt nach Frith gekommen sind, um das einfache, bessere Leben zu leben. Sie mähen ihr eigenes Heu, schlachten ihre eigenen Truthähne. Amy und Lan lieben ihre Freiheiten und die Tiere, um die sie sich kümmern, einschließlich eines Kalbs namens Gabriella Weihnacht. Doch schon bald bringen die Erwachsenen die Harmonie der Gemeinschaft durcheinander. Es sind nicht nur kleine alltägliche Streitigkeiten im ländlichen Paradies. Vor allem Lans Mutter und Amys Vater sollten von ihren Kindern wissen, nicht mit dem Feuer zu spielen. »Aufs Land« ist ein Liebesbrief an die sorglose Kindheit und ein köstlicher Seitenhieb auf das Ideal des einfachen Lebens.

Passionate and brilliantly rendered, Small Wars questions how honor can exist amid cruelty and asks what becomes of intimacy in the grinding gears of empire.A major in the British Army, Hal Treherne is a dedicated soldier on the brink of a brilliant career. He is eager to lead his men into combat; his wife, Clara, however, is relieved when they are posted instead to seemingly peaceful sun-kissed Cyprus. But war erupts over unification with Greece, the island is consumed by violence?and Hal discovers that his military training cannot help him navigate the minefields of moral compromise that lie beneath every battle he fights. Clara grows fearful of her increasingly distant husband. When she needs him most, she finds the once-tender Hal a changed man?a betrayal that is only part of the shocking personal crisis to come.

Lewis Aldridge is just 10 years old when he loses his mother. Neglected by his distant father and new stepmother, he can't help but let the grief inside him grow. When he is 17, that pain explodes in an incendiary act of destruction. After serving two years in prison, Lewis returns to a family that does not know how to face him and a town that wishes he would have stayed away. On the outskirts of post-war London, Waterford seems the perfect hamlet. But beneath its polished surface fester cruelty and violence. Lewis is determined to redeem himself, but his efforts are stymied. His stepmother's attempt to make amends goes dangerously awry, and his relationship with his new boss's daughters reveals unimaginable secrets. In this brilliant debut Sadie Jones tells the story of a boy who refuses to accept the polite lies of a tightly knit community that rejects love in favor of appearances. Written with nail-biting suspense and cinematic pacing, The Outcast is an emotionally powerful evocation of post-war provincial English society, and a remarkably uplifting testament to the redemptive powers of love and understanding.

Zusammen mit Paul und Leigh verwirklicht er sich den Traum von einer eigenen Theaterkompagnie - doch dann trifft er Nina, eine labile Schauspielerin, und seine Liebe zu ihr droht alles zu zerstören, was er sich erkämpft hat ...
