You Don't Have to Live Here
Shunted from Yugoslavia to Cuba to Greece among her Muslim mother and her Gypsy Christian father and a battery of more and less well-meaning aunts and uncles, finally making her own way to New York City, sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued Sasha can't seem to stay out of trouble. She ditches school. She runs away. She steals a neighbor's potatoes. She makes friends with heroin addicts. She falls in love too early and, as far as her family is concerned, with the wrong kind of men. She rages against the unfairness of her mother's illness and the hypocrisies of privilege and racism in Communist societies. Most important, she tells it like it is, and finds the goodness in not so obviously good people, including herself. In this picaresque narrative that is at once jagged and soulful, Natasha Radojcic has created a bittersweet coming-of-age story, an original immigrant song and a brave new character in fiction. Sasha is a strong and spectacular survivor-clear-eyed and intelligent, hard-living, always loving. "You Don't Have to Live Here" is a visceral adventure about the running-from and running-to that we somehow recognize as growing up.

Vidar Mojih Rana
Ona se skrivala iza neugledne haljine, zamrsene kose, neupadljive pojave i pokornog stava. On se skrivao iza titule, bogatstva, autoriteta i lose ovisnosti. Kad su se susreli, počelo je otkrivanje. Sloj po sloj, nijansa po nijansa. Gracie je imala snove koji su barem malo ublazili njezinu sudbinu. Patrik nije imao nikakav san, nije se usuđivao sanjati. No pored nje, upoznao je po prvi puta taj čuven i čudesan osjecaj koji su ljudi zvali ljubav. I dok je on vidao njezine rane, pitao se moze li ga voljeti takvog ostecenog i ovisnog. I dok joj je mrsio kosu i ljubio prste, pona se pitala moze li je voljeti takvu običnu. Nista im nije islo u prilog, a najmanje to sto su zivjeli u pogresnoj eri: naime, Patrik je bio gospodar, Gracie je bila sluskinja.

Estoril
Set in a luxurious grand hotel just outside Lisbon, at the height of the Second World War, Estoril is a delightful and poignant novel about exile, divided loyalties, fear and survival. The hotel's guests include spies, fallen kings, refugees from the Balkans, Nazis, American diplomats and stateless Jews. The Portuguese secret police broodingly observe the visitors, terrified that their country's neutrality will be compromised. The novel seamlessly fuses the stories of its invented characters with appearances by historical figures like the ex-King Carol of Romania, the great Polish pianist Jan Paderewski, the British agent Ian Fleming, the Russian chess grandmaster Alexander Alekhine and the French writer and flyer Antoine de St Exupery, who forms a poignant friendship with a young Jewish boy living alone in the hotel.
Beauty
When the family business collapses, Beauty and her two sisters are forced to leave the city and begin a new life in the countryside. However, when their father accepts hospitality from the elusive and magical Beast, he is forced to make a terrible promise - to send one daughter to the Beast's castle, with no guarantee that she will be seen again. Beauty accepts the challenge, and there begins an extraordinary story of magic and love that overcomes all boundaries. This is another spellbinding and emotional tale embroidered around a fairytale from Robin McKinley, an award-winning American author.
