When journalist Abigail Long gets her own column--Abigail's Party--she is propelled into the sparkling world of celebrity, champagne and canapés. Seduced by the bright lights and sound-bites, she swaps real friends and true love for late nights and laminated invitation. As launch party follows launch party and premiere follows premiere, the circuit becomes increasingly addictive.With a full diary but an empty life without old mates and comfort food, the glamour of mingling with the stars soon begins to tarnish. After a close relationship with the hottest new actor in town, Abigail suddenly finds herself on the other side of the lens. And so she begins her final descent into true canapé hell.My Canapé Hell is a sharp, witty debut which offers a wry insider's view into the world of PR, parties and professional small talk. It is a biting and wickedly funny satire on the celebrity circuit from a talented new novelist... v angličtine, brožovaná, 277 strán, malý formát

The World Below

Spisovatel: Miller Sue, Bloomsbury 2001
Katalogové číslo: E8147

Cath Hubbard, a San Francisco woman in her 50s, returns to her grandmother's small Vermont house after the death of an aunt who left the property to Cath and her brother Lawrence. Cath had lived with her grandparents for a few years in her teens, after her mother's suicide, and now makes her wounded way back, in the wake of a divorce, to sort through her memories of her beloved grandmother, Georgia. This is the standard fare of American literary fiction: a life change prompting a search into the past. What is far less ordinary is Miller's placid, nuanced depiction of her protagonist's emotional journey. None of Cath's feelings can be easily predicted by the reader, but all of them ring true. She finds her grandmother's diary and begins to fill in the stories that Georgia had hinted at over the years. What Cath discovers in her grandmother's journal is a secret that has lost its power to shock; and that very wearing away of taboo adds to the poignancy of Georgia's restricted life. Her story unfolds against a backdrop of Cath's more immediate griefs and concerns and begins to recede as Cath's San Francisco life returns to claim her. Miller's prose appears effortless, but is like the gestures of a magician that conceal how the trick is accomplished. The result is a sage, continually surprising novel about finding peace of mind in a combination of habit, love, and self-determination.... v angličtine, brožovaná, 275 strán
