A dark tale of oppressive friendship and the fallibility of memory. Photographer Chrissy returns home for the first time in 34 years, unsure if she caused the death of her best friend, Pat, in 1973. Her parents now dead, she plans to sell up quickly and leave. But the past returns, unbidden and cloudy. Elderly neighbour Alice and childhood friend Marion seem unable or unwilling to fill in the gaps.

Memories of events leading up to Pat's death must be recovered if Chrissy is to find out what it is she's been running from all those years.
A ogni donna è capitato di subire almeno un rifiuto da parte di un uomo ma, quando diventano un’abitudine, la cosa migliore da fare è riderci su. La protagonista, alla ricerca dell’anima gemella, li trova davvero tutti lei: da quello cui interessa una sola cosa, a quello cui sembra non interessi affatto, dal fedifrago impenitente al subdolo manipolatore, dall’artista ammaliante al latin lover psicotico. Tuttavia lei, novella Bridget Jones, non si perde d’animo e ci riprova ancora e ancora, convinta che prima o poi il vero amore arriverà. In un turbinio di peripezie esilaranti, ma anche di riflessioni e consigli strampalati, Marika Orlando insegna a vedere il lato comico di ogni disavventura, senza disperare mai.
An arty psycho who targets celebs is terrorizing LA... Hollywood blogger Jez Fleetwood is ghosting the life of movie megastar Dan Farr, leading light of a secretive New Age religion. His life turns stellar, with glittering, star-studded parties-and he finds a new lover, sexy, trendy designer Zoe. Zoe is being stalked by a psycho who targets stars, butchering them and turning the crime scenes into twisted installation art, and soon Jez' life intertwines with a serial killer's. As the Trashman closes in, the couple are tracked from LA to Paris and Milan and back, and Jez is confronted by a fatal choice: his glamorous, wealthy new life, or the safety of the woman he loves. A cool, smart thriller, ripping into celeb culture and the cult of self-realization, this cleverly ironic masterpiece is edgy, stylish, and horrifying.
Haiku Illustrated features 90 classic poems from four poets - Matsuo Bashō, Yosa Buson, Kobayashi Issa and Masaoka Shiki - which range across more than 200 years of Japanese poetry. There are few rules to haiku, but they are strict: 17 phonetic sounds, a sense of cutting images or ideas, and a reference to a season. From those restrictions, poets have written about many things, from the year's first blossom to aging, from mosquitoes humming to insects singing, from catching one's shadow to crossing a stream in the summer. In this beautiful new edition, each poem is presented in Japanese script, along with romanized Japanese (romaji) and an English translation. Every few spreads an artwork illustrates an aspect of the poem, such as the traditional Japanese cherry blossom, Mount Fuji, or village life. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding and with a timeless design, Haiku Illustrated is an expert introduction and celebration of one of the most beautiful and accessible forms of poetry in the world.
