Rendezvous / Amanda Quick ; traduzione dall'inglese di Maddalena Mendolicchio
Roma : Fanucci, 2023
Abstract: Augusta Ballinger era certa che si trattasse di un terribile errore. Il borioso e inquietante conte di Graystone non poteva certo desiderare di sposarla. Si diceva che la sposa prescelta dovesse essere un vero e proprio modello di virtù ed era risaputo che Augusta era una donna a cui non interessava sottostare alle regole imposte dalla società. Per questo motivo, aveva pianificato un incontro di mezzanotte per mettere in guardia il conte e convincerlo che sarebbe stata una pessima moglie. Ma intrufolandosi nel suo studio attraverso la finestra, Augusta non fece altro che rafforzare il proposito di Harry: baciare quella bocca impertinente e insegnarle come avrebbe dovuto comportarsi una vera lady! E il conte come poteva sapere che sarebbe stato proprio lui a ricevere una bella lezione dalla sua sfacciata fidanzata intenta a conquistare il suo cuore? E come affrontare un vecchio nemico giunto a minacciare il loro amore, l’onore e le loro stesse vite?

Fire & blood / Geroge R. R. Martin
New York : Bantam books, 2022
Abstract: Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel’s worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed. With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire & Blood is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.

All that glitters: a novel / Danielle Steel
New York : Dell, 2021
Abstract: Nicole “Coco” Martin is destined to have it all. As the only child of doting and successful parents, she has been given every opportunity in life. Having inherited her mother’s stunning beauty and creativity, along with her father’s work ethic and diligence, she has the world at her feet. Her graduation from Columbia is fast approaching, and with it the summer job of her dreams working at a magazine. Between work, leisurely weekends at her family’s home in Southampton, and spending as much time as possible with her best friend, Sam, life couldn’t be better—until tragedy strikes. Coco’s beloved parents are killed in a terrorist attack while on vacation in France. Now devastated and alone, Coco must find a way to move forward and make her way in the world without the family she loved. Determined to forge her own path and make her parents proud, Coco pursues her dreams, dazzled by exciting opportunities that come her way. Her goals are to think outside the box—and always play by her own rules. As she finds herself drawn to charismatic, fascinating men, each relationship will teach Coco new lessons, some delightful, some painful. She will come to realize what matters, and how strong she truly is—and in the end, she will discover herself. Richly exploring one woman’s poignant journey through life, All That Glitters is a compelling tale of challenges, heartbreak, discovery, and triumph, a powerful reminder that all that glitters is not the essence of life. And what is truly worth having was right there in our hands all along.

Heaven / Mieko Kawakami ; translated from the Japanese by Sam Bett and David Boyd
New York : Europa editions, 2021
Abstract: Heaven indaga l'esperienza e il significato della violenza e il conforto dell'amicizia. Bullizzato per il suo strabismo, il protagonista del romanzo soffre in silenzio. La sua unica tregua è l'amicizia con una ragazza, Kojima, anche lei continuamente vittima dei dispetti delle coetanee per via della trasandatezza con cui si presenta a scuola. Kojima invita il ragazzino protagonista a un fitto scambio epistolare innocente e pieno di sogni, dove non c'è posto per l'angoscia del bullismo. Le lettere si susseguono a gran ritmo, riempiendo fino all'estremo la custodia del dizionario dove il ragazzino le nasconde, nonché diventando l'unico motivo di gioia delle giornate dei due ragazzi, che a scuola tendono a eclissarsi, anche agli occhi l'uno dell'altra. Ci sono molti segreti, cose che secondo la piccola e intelligente Kojima, non potranno mai essere comprese dai compagni di classe, i quali non sanno fare altro che sfogare le loro debolezze su di lei e sul suo amico. Ma qual è la vera natura della loro amicizia se è il terrore ad alimentare il loro legame?

How much can they trust the other parents--or even each other? What secrets are hidden behind the Lamberts' glossy front door? Stretched to the breaking point, Pete and Maddie discover they will each stop at nothing to keep their family safe. They are done playing nice

Abstract: Reacher is on a Greyhound bus, minding his own business, with no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. Then he steps off the bus to help an old man who is obviously just a victim waiting to happen. But you know what they say about good deeds. Now Reacher wants to make it right. An elderly couple have made a few well-meaning mistakes, and now they owe big money to some very bad people. One brazen move leads to another, and suddenly Reacher finds himself a wanted man in the middle of a brutal turf war between rival Ukrainian and Albanian gangs. Reacher has to stay one step ahead of the loan sharks, the thugs, and the assassins. He teams up with a fed-up waitress who knows a little more than she's letting on, and sets out to take down the powerful and make the greedy pay. It's a long shot. The odds are against him. But Reacher believes in a certain kind of justice . . . the kind that comes along once in a blue moon.
