According to their friends, Tom and Pippa Drummond have the perfect existence - a great lifestyle, a lively marriage, and a great kid in Tally. In their late thirties, living in a converted barn on the edge of the Sussex Downs, Tom is a partner in 'The Pelican', a restaurant in Axbury Minster, and Pippa, after a short career as a cook, grows herbs for sale locally and brings up sixteen-year-old Tally - a lively blonde with her head screwed firmly on to her shoulders. A rare summer holiday is planned - an idyllic retreat in the Italian hills. Tom takes time off from the restaurant, Pippa leaves her herbs in the charge of a dotty neighbour, and Tally takes a break from the two men in her life - fast-living Alex and the plodding, persevering 'Blip'. Tuscany is everything they hoped it would be - cicadas in the trees, the scent of sage and citrus and suppers under the stars. But their joy is short lived. Overnight their lives, their circumstances, their very identities are suddenly altered, and life will never be the same again. From being the envy of their friends, the Drummonds are plunged into a world that nobody would wish upon them.
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects—and share the stories of their lives... At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shop’s owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friends—Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and KC—exchange knitting tips, jokes, and their deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgia’s heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter’s life, her world is shattered. Luckily, Georgia’s friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle-making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they’ve created isn’t just a knitting club: it’s a sisterhood.
Autorka stawia pytanie o to, kim jest ekspert, i przeprowadza badania ilościowe i jakościowe w zakresie reprezentacji ekspertów trzech telewizyjnych magazynów informacyjnych: TVP1, TVN i TV Trwam. Próbuje zrekonstruować typologię i funkcje ekspertów w tych obszarach. Następnie pyta o ich legitymację do sprawowania „rządu dusz”. (…) Wreszcie o to, jakie obrazy mediów konstruowane są w narracji i języku ekspertów. (…) Monografia Aldony Guzik stanowi ambitną próbę wyznaczenia nowych kierunków metodologii badań szeroko pojętej audiowizualności. Jest sprawnie napisana, rozpoznać można własny styl autorki. Z recenzji wydawniczej prof. dr. hab. Wiesława Godzica Temat podjęty przez Aldonę Guzik jest jednym z ważniejszych nie tylko w dyskursie o mediach, lecz także we współczesnych naukach społecznych. Analiza procesu budowania statusu eksperta zasługuje na krytyczną refleksję i w niniejszej książce autorka dobrze się wywiązuje z tego zadania. Z recenzji wydawniczej dr hab.

The author of the New York Times bestseller The Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club tackles her biggest challenge yet: grown-up life. In Autobiography of a Fat Bride, Laurie Notaro tries painfully to make the transition from all-night partyer and bar-stool regular to mortgagee with plumbing problems and no air-conditioning. Laurie finds grown-up life just as harrowing as her reckless youth, as she meets Mr. Right, moves in, settles down, and crosses the toe-stubbing threshold of matrimony. From her mother's grade-school warning to avoid kids in tie-dyed shirts because their hippie parents spent their food money on drugs and art supplies; to her night-before-the-wedding panic over whether he...
