How To Find Love in a Bookshop
da Veronica Henry
«Emilia has just returned to her idyllic Cotswold hometown to rescue the family business. Nightingale Books is a dream come true for book-lovers, but the best stories aren't just within the pages of the books she sells - Emilia's customers have their own tales to tell. There's the lady of the manor who is hiding a secret close to her heart; the single dad looking for books to share with his son but who isn't quite what he seems; and the desperately shy chef trying to find the courage to talk to her crush ...And as for Emilia's story, can she keep the promise she made to her father and save Nightingale Books?»
«Cansados da exploração a que os humanos o sujeitam, os animais revoltam-se e tomam o poder na Quinta do Infantado. Libertos da escravatura, organizam-se sob uma única lei: todos os animais são iguais. Rapidamente, no entanto, começa a surgir abusos de poder e os ideais da revolução são esquecidos.
Após a sua experiência na Guerra Civil de Espanha, George Orwell quis alertar para a forma como a União Soviética de Estaline estava a corromper os ideais socialistas. Fê-lo através desta fábula distópica, projectando nos animais as inclinações mais obscuras das sociedades humanas.»
«Quando Kim Aldredge tinha oito anos, conheceu um rapaz de doze chamado Travis, que estava de visita à sua cidade natal de Edilean, na Virgínia, com a mãe. Embora essa visita tivesse lugar sob circunstâncias misteriosas, isso não impediu que as crianças se tornassem amigas. Durante duas semanas maravilhosas, andaram de bicicleta, jogaram basebol e leram em voz alta para o outro. Tudo coisas comuns para Kim, mas para Travis bastante extraordinárias. E Travis ajudou Kim a descobrir o seu amor pela criação de joias, a paixão que se tornou a sua profissão. Antes de partir, ele disse-lhe que um dia iria voltar, e durante anos Kim guardou a foto de ambos, abraçados e sorridentes.Travis é agora um advogado bem-sucedido em Manhattan, mas há coisas na sua vida que ele não quer tornadas públicas. E embora tenha viajado por todo o mundo, ainda pensa no verão passou em Edilean e na rapariga que lá conheceu. Essas semanas mudaram a sua vida para sempre. Quando Travis descobre que a mãe regressou a Edilean e tenciona voltar a casar, decide que está na hora de voltar também: não apenas para investigar o futuro marido da mãe, mas para finalmente cumprir a promessa que fez a Kim tanto anos antes...»

«All animals are equal - but some are more equal than others'When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. 'It is the history of a revolution that went wrong - and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every step for the perversion of the original doctrine.»
«An enchanting new contemporary romance set in Edilean, about two childhood friends who are reunited after years apart, only to discover that the spark they felt even as kids still remains... In the second novel in her bestselling Edilean trilogy, Jude Deveraux returns to the idyllic Virginia town where three best girlfriends joyfully reunite as they each seek out their heartfelt dreams and desires. Kim Aldredge is delighted that her dear college "sister" Jecca has found lasting love with Kim's cousin Tristan. But despite her flourishing jewelry-making career, Kim's own happiness seems as distant as the childhood summer when she played the hours away with young Travis Merritt, who came to Edilean with his mother under mysterious circumstances. At the end of that innocent season, he promised Kim he would return one day . . . and then vanished without even a goodbye. Years later, a worn photo is Kim's only proof of the perfect joy they shared. But when she least expects it, Travis, now a savvy Manhattan attorney, will crash into her life once more. Will Kim see the boy she knew under the man he's become?»
