When Natasha, daughter of a Russian oligarch, arrives for her first day at an all-girl British boarding school, she finds herself thrown into a world of fierce pecking orders, eating disorders, and Instagram angst. Then her friend Bianca mysteriously vanishes, and the world of the school gets ever darker and even weirder. Scarlett Thomas's first adult fiction since 2015 is a major return. Wildly frank, funny, and full of humanity, Oligarchy reminds us how insightful, vulnerable, brilliant, and misunderstood teenagers are, never more so than now.

Pravá láska si najde cestu. Druhý příběh ze série Bergman Brothers. Frankie není typická romantická hrdinka. Svět vnímá jinak než ostatní, a navíc se denně potýká s chronickou bolestí. Rozhodně tak nemá čas na zmatky, které přináší láska. Jenže pak je tu Ren Bergman – hokejista se srdcem na dlani a úsměvem, pod kterým roztaje i nejtvrdší led. Ten sice ví, že Frankie je výjimečná, avšak dokud se stará o sociální sítě jeho týmu, nechce si s ní nic začínat. Když se ale Ren dozví, že Frankie plánuje tým opustit, pustí se do svého životního zápasu – toho o její srdce.

Otec patnáctileté Lily Knightové propadl alkoholu a chorobné žárlivosti. Při jedné z vyhrocených hádek ho Lilyina matka Hazel nešťastnou náhodou zabije. Soud ji sice vzhledem k okolnostem osvobodí, ale pro okolí nadále zůstává matkou vražedkyní. Proto s radostí uvítá zprávu, že zdědila venkovský domek uprostřed lesů. Po náročné rekonstrukci se do něj Hazel s Lily přestěhují s nadějí na nový život. K domku se však váže děsivá historie. Před více než třemi sty lety jej totiž obývala Mary Longová, kterou skupina vesničanů obvinila z čarodějnictví a nechala upálit u staré jeřabiny. Ta dodnes stojí nedaleko domku a je opředena řadou pověr. Lily se seznamuje s okolím i svéráznými obyvateli vesnice. K těm patří jak členové místního covenu novodobých, zdánlivě neškodných čarodějů, tak potomci těch, kteří Mary dohnali na hranici. Byla Mary opravdu čarodějnice? Nebo šlo jen o její pozemky? A jak do jejího příběhu zapadají Hazel a Lily?
