Książka w języku angielskim. Dobieranie się w pary nie jest łatwe. W tej błyskotliwej i złośliwie dowcipnej książce Candace Bushnell znakomicie opisała świat singli rozpaczliwie szukających swojej wymarzonej drugiej połowy. Carrie Bradshaw, jej główna bohaterka, to bliska krewna Bridget Jones i Ally McBeal. Mimo że jest bardziej perwersyjna, podobnie jak one w głębi duszy pozostaje niepoprawną romantyczką szukającą swego księcia z bajki. [lubimyczytac.pl]

Enter a world where the sometimes shocking and often hilarious mating habits of the privileged are exposed by a true insider. In essays drawn from her witty and sometimes brutally candid column in the New York Observer, Candace Bushnell introduces us to the young and beautiful who travel in packs from parties to bars to clubs. Meet "Carrie," the quintessential young writer looking for love in all the wrong places..."Mr. Big," the business tycoon who drifts from one relationship to another..."Samantha Jones," the fortyish, successful, "testosterone woman" who uses sex like a man...not to mention "Psycho Moms," "Bicycle Boys," "International Crazy Girls," and the rest of the New Yorkers who have inspired one of the most watched TV series of our time. You've seen them on HBO, now read the book that started it all...

Powieść

With the startling emotional immediacy of a fractured family photo album, Jennifer Lauck's incandescent memoir is the story of an ordinary girl growing up at the turn of the 1970s and the truly extraordinary circumstances of a childhood lost. Wrenching and unforgettable, Blackbird will carry your heart away. To young Jenny, the house on Mary Street was home -- the place where she was loved, a blue-sky world of Barbies, Bewitched, and the Beatles. Even her mother's pain from her mysterious illness could be patted away with powder and a kiss on the cheek. But when everything that Jenny had come to rely on begins to crumble, an odyssey of loss, loneliness, and a child's will to survive takes flight....

Powieść Sensacja

Separated from her brother Bryan, and passed from caretaker to caretaker, Jenny discovers - as she rebels her way through high school and into adulthood - that the past can never be truly locked away forever. She survived the stunning traumas of a lost childhood, but survival may not be a way of life. Now the secrets, lies and loneliness that once imprisoned her are brought into sharp focus, where an adult Jenny can make her peace at last. But one more mystery demands her attention: the quiet troubled soul of Bryan, who, lacking the inner strength of the survivor, chooses a sad and sorrowful destiny. And Jenny must dig deep to find the one bond that held them through the years, and the one reason any of us have for enduring: love.

Powieść autobiograficzna Pamiętniki i wspomnienia

William Woodruff (12 September 1916 – 23 September 2008) was a professor of world history and author. His two autobiographical works, The Road to Nab End and its sequel Beyond Nab End, both became bestsellers in the United Kingdom. The memoirs, covering Woodruff's impoverished upbringing in an English weaving community during the Great Depression, contain significant amounts of social commentary about the conditions in which he lived.

The Road to Nab End is a marvelously evocative account of growing up poor in a British mill town. From William Woodruff's birth in 1916 until he ran away to London at the age of sixteen, he lived in the heart of Blackburn's weaving community in the north of England, where the crash of 1920 left his family in extreme poverty.

Miłość Spotkanie po latach Kanada Stany Zjednoczone (USA)

Genre/Form

Powieść Powieść obyczajowa

Linda i Thomas spotykają się po wielu latach na zjeździe literatów w Kanadzie. Oboje mają za sobą dramatyczne przeżycia: ona niedawno straciła męża i ma problemy z dorosłym synem; on, dawniej ceniony poeta, dotknięty osobistą tragedią, powraca właśnie do twórczości literackiej po paru latach dobrowolnej izolacji. Ich spotkanie nie jest przypadkowe. Dowiedziawszy się, że Linda będzie na zjeździe, Thomas postanawia nawiązać ponowny kontakt z kobietą, którą kochał przed laty. "Ostatni raz" jest powieścią o uczuciu ponadczasowym, a przede wszystkim o tym, jak pojedyncze wydarzenie, decyzja, a nawet słowo mogą wpłynąć na ludzkie życie.
