Their answers illustrate more eloquently than any textbook how to use Gray's advice and counsel to create your own fulfilling, healthy, and loving relationships.

Lorsque Sid Hammet, faussaire australien, découvre dans une brocante le livre des poissons de William Buelow Gould, il ne réalise pas l'impact que ces douze gravures et leur texte chaotique auront sur lui. L'ouvrage relate la destinée de la colonie pénitentiaire de l'île Sarah, qui, sous l'influence de son Napoléon des antipodes, a brièvement rêvé de devenir une nouvelle Europe avant de sombrer dans les flammes. Gould, forçat devenu prophète, a compris que le monde entier était contenu dans un poisson. Alors que la révolte gronde et que l'amour transcende les barrières entre maître et esclave, Richard Flanagan nous invite à un véritable roman des fondations. Le livre de Gould est plus qu'un simple récit : il incarne l'ambition de transformer le monde en livre. Ce chef-d'œuvre littéraire, écrit avec la gourmandise d'un Rabelais et l'humour d'un Laurence Sterne, explore les profondeurs de l'inconscient d'un peuple "élevé dans une prison devenue une nation". Rares sont les œuvres qui transcendent les frontières traditionnelles de la fiction, mais ce livre, à la fois paillard et réfléchi, émouvant et caustique, est de ceux-là. Le talent de Flanagan et son imagination rendent cet ouvrage mémorable et extraordinaire.
Als in een Amerikaans stadje kort achter elkaar enkele baby's overlijden, denkt men aanvankelijk aan wiegendood, maar men moet die theorie al snel laten varen.
Revere Falk is an FBI interrogator who believes it is possible to get more from a terrorist suspect by treating him decently than by using more 'robust' methods. He lives his life by a certain code of honour. This puts him in a minority at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. So when the body of a US soldier is found under mysterious circumstances on the beach, and a high-ranking investigative team is flown in, Falk should be above suspicion. But Falk has a secret, a secret he had hoped was dead and buried. Now, it is reaching out from his past, to the sodium-lit cell blocks and stifling humidity of this claustrophobic rumour-mill of a community, and its implications are greater than he could ever have imagined. Dan Fesperman is already the winner of the CWA John Creasey and the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger awards. This, his fourth book, will surely be hailed as his best yet.

Wanted: One young woman to take care of four-year-old boy. Must be cheerful, enthusiastic and selfless--bordering on masochistic. Must relish sixteen-hour shifts with a deliberately nap-deprived preschooler. Must love getting thrown up on, literally and figuratively, by everyone in his family. Must enjoy the delicious anticipation of ridiculously erratic pay. Mostly, must love being treated like fungus found growing out of employers Hermès bag. Those who take it personally need not apply. Who wouldn't want this job? Struggling to graduate from NYU and afford her microscopic studio apartment, Nanny takes a position caring for the only son of the wealthy X family. She rapidly learns the insane amount of juggling involved to ensure that a Park Avenue wife who doesn't work, cook, clean, or raise her own child has a smooth day. When the X's' marriage begins to disintegrate, Nanny ends up involved way beyond the bounds of human decency or good taste. Her tenure with the X family becomes a nearly impossible mission to maintain the mental health of their four-year-old, her own integrity and, most importantly, her sense of humor. Over nine tense months, Mrs. X and Nanny perform the age-old dance of decorum and power as they test the limits of modern-day servitude. Written by two former nannies, The Nanny Diaries deftly punctures the glamour of Manhattan's upper class.
