In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want - husband, country home, successful career - but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she felt consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, and of what she found in their place. Following a divorce and a crushing depression, Gilbert set out to examine three different aspects of her nature, set against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence.
"Four Blondes" charts the romantic intrigues, liaisons, betrayals and victories of four modern women: a beautiful B-list model scams rent-free summerhouses in the Hamptons from her lovers until she discovers she can get a man but can't get what she wants; a high-powered magazine columnist's floundering marriage to a literary journalist is thrown into crisis when her husband's career fails to live up to her expectations; a "Cinderella" records her descent into paranoia in her journal as she realises she wants anybody's life except her own; an artist and ageing "It girl" - who fears that her time for finding a man has run out - travels to London in search of the kind of love and devotion she can't find in Manhattan...
Ex-security analyst Lisbeth Salander is wanted for murder. Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behavior makes her an official danger to society - but no-one can find her. The only way Salander can be reached is by computer. But she can break into almost any network she chooses…
Eric Chalmers is one of the most popular teachers at Muirpark Secondary School in Glasgow. So when precocious teenager Julie Donaldson accuses Chalmers of rape, the school goes into shock. How could a deeply religious family man like Chalmers do anything like that?
"The Bowl" is a clear metaphor for this cold and brittle world, as a beautiful woman is made to suffer for the cruelty of her youth, her punishment ironically taking the shape of a cut-glass punch-bowl. The amusing "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" depicts .a dull girl striving at all costs to enter society, where the competition and jealousy wrought between women leads to bitter vengeance and a quirky twist in the tale. However, the powerful and destructive influence of money is never more stunningly revealed than in Fitzgerald's -most famous and unusual story, "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz".
Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a "heroine whom no one but myself will much like": but "Emma" is irresistible. "Handsome, clever, and rich", "Emma" is also an "imaginist", "on fire with speculation and foresight". She sees the signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective. Judgment and imagination are matched in games the reader too can enjoy, and the end is a triumph of understanding.
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is Mark Twain's exhilarating Mississippi adventure story and the companion to Tom Sawyer.

A former tiffinboy from Mumbai, Ram Mohammad Thomas, has just got twelve questions correct on a TV quiz show to win a cool one billion rupees.

For 15-year-old Michael, a chance meeting with an older woman leads to far more than he ever imagined.

Years later, as a law student observing a trial in Germany, Michael is shocked to find Hanna in the dock. The woman he loved is a war criminal. Much about her behaviour during the trial does not make sense. Hanna must answer for a horrible crime, but she is desperately concealing an even deeper secret...
Hailed as a masterpiece from the moment of its first publication, Revolutionary Road is the story of Frank and April Wheeler, a bright, beautiful, and talented couple whose empty suburban life is held together by the dream that greatness is only just round the corner. With heartbreaking compassion and clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their hopes and ideals, betraying in the end not only each other, but their own best selves.
Every weekend, in basements and parking lots across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded for as long as they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything.
Paul was seen to slip into St John's Wood Church and sit alone in quiet contemplation. This church had special memories for him, as the place in which he and Linda had their 1969 wedding blessed. Church workers who were putting up the Christmas decorations when Paul came in also noted that it was around the time of the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's murder. What a lot had happened to Paul since that awful day, and what a mess he now found himself in. Library Journal "Delivers on every promise it even thinks about making… McCartney fans will enjoy hearing some of the never-before-told stories about his family… The author handles the rougher topics with a professionalism that attempts to be as unbiased as possible… Sounes' narrative writing style is easy to read. Instead of feeling like a dry, academic work, the book reads almost like a novel… The 500+ pages do not necessarily fly by, but the tale told is worth the time it takes to tell it." New York Journal of Books "Macca examined in high-def accuracy… Where Sounes scores… is in scything through the wild undergrowth of facts, misinformation and myths to present a level-headed portrait of a musician who, obviously, is still held in fascination by the public… The definitive take on an extraordinary career… Sounes is also admirably responsible in his dissection of the Heather Mills years, sifting through the tabloid salaciousness to outline chains of events with the confident, dispassionate eye of a seasoned and reliable journalist." Record Collector
