In Europa la guerra è cominciata, eppure da noi qualcuno si illude ancora che sia possibile tenerla fuori della porta. E poi sta arrivando la piú bella delle feste, quella dove si mangia, si beve, ci si abbraccia, quella in cui ci si scambiano doni con le persone care. Erminia Cascetta era diversa, a modo suo. Aveva troppa voglia di vivere, perciò l’hanno uccisa. In questo tempo che accelera verso l’abisso, spetta al commissario Ricciardi e al brigadiere Maione scoprire chi è stato. La chiave di tutto, però, è sempre la solitudine.

Роман о сильных чувствах и непростых женских судьбах в переломные моменты российской и мировой истории ХХ века. Вероника и Ксения совсем не похожи друг на друга. Одна — медсестра, спасает жизни во время Первой мировой войны, другая — попадает в плен к туарегам во время археологической экспедиции. Но один и тот же человек стал огромным событием в жизни каждой из них. Обе девушки прожили долгую жизнь, не сломавшись под натиском "века-волкодава": прошли две мировые войны, революцию, гражданскую войну, сталинские лагеря и гитлеровский фашизм.

Внезапно к нему обращается за помощью сестра его товарища по оружию Прошина, которого арестовали в игорном доме за жестокое убийство женщины.

Роза, роман Оксаны Васякиной в жанре автофикшн, продолжает ее исследование отношений с семьей, реальностью и самой собой. "Рана" — дебютная книга трилогии — стала прощанием с умершей матерью, "Степь" — монологом об отце и его тяжелой судьбе. В завершающем трилогию романе Роза писательница старается разгадать тайну такой короткой жизни своей тети Светланы. Из небольших фрагментов памяти словно паззл складывается сложный образ, в котором тяжелые отношения с матерью, бытовая неустроенность и равнодушие к собственной судьбе соседствуют с почти детской уязвимостью и чистотой.

The seventh audiobook in Griff Hosker's epic Lord Edward's Archer series of historical adventures.

In a rented room outside Plymouth in 1685, a daughter is born as her half-brother is dying. Her mother makes a decision: Mary will become Mark, and Ma will continue to collect his inheritance money. Mary’s dual existence as Mark will lead to a role as a footman in a grand house, serving a French mistress; to the navy, learning who to trust and how to navigate by the stars; and to the army and the battlegrounds of Flanders, finding love among the bloodshed and the mud. But none of this will stop Mary yearning for the sea.
