'Joan is an unforgettable anti-heroine. I don't think I'll ever stop thinking about her' ELIZABETH DAY 'So insanely good and true and twisted it'll make your teeth sweat' OLIVIA WILDE 'One of my favourite writers of all time' DUA LIPA 'Like a series of grenades exploding' MARIAN KEYES I drove myself out of New York City where a man shot himself in front of me. He was a gluttonous man and when his blood came out it looked like the blood of a pig. That's a cruel thing to think, I know. He did it in a restaurant where I was having dinner with another man, another married man. Do you see how this is going? But I wasn't always that way. I am depraved. I hope you like me. ------------ A FINALIST FOR THE MCKITTERICK PRIZE 2022 A 2021 Highlight for: Guardian - Sunday Express - Independent - New Statesman - Evening Standard - Cosmopolitan - Red - Grazia - Daily Mail - Daily Express - The Week - Irish Times - i - The Sun

This is a random universe, Reacher says. Once in a blue moon things turn out just right. This isn't one of those times. Reacher is on a Greyhound bus, minding his own business, with no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. Then he steps off the bus to help an old man who is obviously just a victim waiting to happen. But you know what they say about good deeds. Now Reacher wants to make it right. An elderly couple have made a few well-meaning mistakes, and now they owe big money to some very bad people. One brazen move leads to another, and suddenly Reacher finds himself a wanted man in the middle of a brutal turf war between rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs. Reacher has to stay one step ahead of the loan sharks, the thugs, and the assassins. He teams up with a fed-up waitress who knows a little more than she's letting on, and sets out to take down the powerful and make the greedy pay. It's a long shot. The odds are against him. But Reacher believes in a certain kind of justice . . . the kind that comes along once in a blue moon.

Prenikavý pohľad do tajov ženskej sexuality. Túžba nás vzrušuje aj mučí, ovláda naše myšlienky a ničí životy. Napriek tomu o nej nehovoríme. Americká novinárka Lisa Taddeo strávila osem rokov skúmaním duší obyčajných žien z rôznych regiónov. Výsledkom je dielo, ktoré zachytáva najvernejší portrét ženskej túžby a stalo sa jednou z najdiskutovanejších kníh posledného roka. Na predmestí Indiany žije Lina, žena v domácnosti, ktorej manželstvo po desiatich rokoch stratilo vášeň. Cez sociálne siete sa skontaktuje s bývalým priateľom, čo ju pohltí. V Severnej Dakote sa stretávame so sedemnásťročnou Maggie, ktorá sa zapletie s ženatým učiteľom. Ich utajený vzťah vyústi do sklamania, keď sa učiteľ s ňou rozíde na jej osemnáste narodeniny. Následne sa snaží vyrovnať s následkami a odhaľuje pravdu, čo spôsobí rozruch v jej komunite. Na severovýchode krajiny spoznáme Sloane, úspešnú majiteľku reštaurácie, ktorej manžel sa rád pozerá na jej sexuálne stretnutia s inými. Ich vzťah sa dostáva do krízy, keď sa objaví nový milenec, čo Sloane núti prehodnotiť dynamiku ich vzťahu. Dielo, ktoré autorka sledovala takmer desaťročie, predstavuje prelomovú štúdiu erotickej túžby v súčasnej Amerike, odhaľujúc jej komplexnosť a krehkosť. S nesmiernou empatiou predstavuje tri nezabudnuteľné ženy a ich skúsenosti, ktoré dokazujú, že problémy nenaplnenej sexuálnej túžby sú spoločné všetkým ženám.
