Exuberant and affirming, it's funny and immensely clever, emotionally rare and strong. I feel bereft now I've finished' Tessa Hadley Casey has ended up back in Massachusetts after a devastating love affair. Her mother has just died and she is knocked sideways by grief and loneliness, moving between the restaurant where she waitresses for the Harvard elite and the rented shed she calls home. Her one constant is the novel she has been writing for six years, but at thirty-one she is in debt and directionless, and feels too old to be that way - it's strange, not be the youngest kind of adult anymore. And then, one evening, she meets Silas. He is kind, handsome, interested. But only a few weeks later, Oscar walks into her restaurant, his two boys in tow. He is older, grieving the loss of his wife, and wrapped up in his own creativity. Suddenly Casey finds herself at the point of a love triangle, stuck between two very different relationships that promise two very different futures. Lily King's Writers & Lovers follows Casey in the last days of a long youth, a time when everything - her family, her work, her relationships - comes to a crisis. Hugely moving and impossibly funny, it is a transfixing novel that explores the terrifying and exhilarating leap between the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another. It is a novel about love and creativity, and ultimately it captures the moment when a woman becomes an artist.

They emerged from the harrowing slums of one of the world's great cities, malnourished youths clad in bizarre fashions. The scuttlers were the `hoodies' of their day, and for thirty years they held the streets of Manchester and Salford in a grip of fear. Gangs of Manchester traces the history of the scuttlers from the Rochdale Road War of 1870-1, through the antics of such infamous fighters as the Bellis brothers of Salford and John Hillier, the King of the Scuttlers, until the demise of the gangs at the turn of the century.

Ve vyprávění příběhu se střídají čtyři různé hlasy. Zatímco první z nich patří módní stylistce Lole, druhý hlas ztělesňuje novinářka Grace. Třetí hlas reprezentuje pracující manželka a matka dvou dcer Marnie a poslední, čtvrtý hlas zastupuje Alicie. Hlasy hrdinek se vzájemně prolínají a postupně nám odhalují, co spojuje všechny čtyři vypravěčky dohromady. Průsečík jejich životních osudů se jmenuje Paddy de Courcy. Na první pohled se zdá, že tento okouzlující muž, kterému přezdívají irský J. F. Kennedy, nemá jedinou chybu. Naše čtyři vypravěčky však znají tajemství ukrytá za jeho dokonalým úsměvem i nebezpečný účinek jeho skutečného šarmu. Jakkoli se autorka románu nevyhýbá bolestnému tématu domácího násilí a alkoholismu, najdeme v něm i spoustu humoru, především na stránkách deníku Loly, která je v šoku, když se z novin doví, že její milenec Paddy se zasnoubil s Alicií. Prostřednictvím příběhu novinářky Grace poznáváme zákoutí milostného vztahu, zatímco osud jejího dvojčete Marnie slouží jako důkaz velké ženské síly. Celé vyprávění je nakonec završeno nečekaným triumfem.
