Viviana, Valeria, Veronica e Vanessa sono ritornate a vivere con la madre, Valentina, in seguito alla tragica perdita del padre. Insieme avviano una nuova attività, il Bed & Breakfast Il poggio, immerso nella splendida natura delle colline toscane. Tutto procede con regolarità, fino a quando un giorno giungono due ospiti: sono Dimitri e Anastasia, arrivati dalla Grecia con il solo obiettivo di far recuperare al compagno la memoria. È Vanessa, vecchia conoscenza di Dimitri, con il quale ha vissuto un breve e intenso amore milanese, la sola che può far sperare in un recupero del ragazzo. Ma mentre i due cercano di perdersi fra i meandri dei ricordi che lui ha dimenticato, un vecchio segreto piomba nella vita delle quattro sorelle e minaccia di minare la tranquillità della loro famiglia. Attraverso l¿intimità dei monologhi interiori, le sorelle Brunelli tornano ad appassionare con i loro drammi, i loro sogni e le loro paure.

La península ibérica es una región con una gran biodiversidad.

Cada vez que aparece el coche ocurre un desafortunado suceso en este tranquilo pueblo de Penrose.Hay quién emplea su tiempo sirviendo a los demás, la tienda del encuentro perdura por los siglos. Hitler es un magnífico pintor que, de vez en cuando, nos visitaba. ¿Y por qué esa dichosa manía de las galletas? ¿Por qué las uñas? ¿Por qué la castigadora? ¿Quién sabe de Ríos? ¿Por qué la enterradora tiene tan extraña granja? La inspectora Beatriz Jiménez Martínez conducía plácidamente su descapotable blanco cuando se salió de la carretera y fue a dar con sus huesos a Penrose, un extraño lugar donde el tiempo no es como debería ser.Entre asesinatos, intrigas, la poderosa familia, los curas, clínicas privadas, el tío hallado en el río, el laberinto subterráneo y el bar Hitler, se halla una trama bien urdida, ¿pero por quién?Un trasfondo, tan disparatando como impactante, del que Beatriz querrá escapar, pero antes ha de resolver los crímenes y misterios que le ha ordenado la jueza.Entre lo absurdo y lo surreal se haya la verdad; una verdad basada en estudios científicos.

Les archives de Cajarc (46) présentent une richesse exceptionnelle pour le XIVe siècle. Au fil des milliers de pages des documents qu'elles contiennent, on peut observer le fonctionnement politique et la vie sociale d'une petite communauté des bords du Lot durant cette difficile période, entre guerre, épidémies de peste et récession. On voit aussi son horizon se réduire pour devenir provincial après avoir porté sur les confins du monde méditerranéen. Et pourtant, malgré tout, on découvre des habitants vivant dans une certaine normalité en s'adaptant aux aléas des temps. C'est surtout à ces Cajarcois aujourd'hui oubliés que cet ouvrage est consacré. A travers plus de 200 fiches biographiques, on pénètre dans leur réalité quotidienne en s'étonnant de la diversité de leurs parcours. On peut en effet toucher du doigt les malheurs des temps en voyant par exemple cette famille enrichie par le grand commerce et implantée en ville depuis plus d'un siècle disparaître en quelques mois sous les coups de la peste; on peut aussi admirer la persévérance de ce petit artisan devenant un notable local à force de travail, ou encore le dynamisme de ce marchand qui, en plus de ses florissantes affaires, participa à la gestion de la ville jusqu'à plus de 80 ans. En fait, si l'exotisme de l'écart temporel et les événements extraordinaires de l'époque nous font apparaître ces parcours individuels comme exceptionnels, ils nous montrent finalement aussi des hommes aux préoccupations très proches des nôtres.

HISTOIRE INSPIRÉE DE FAITS VÉCUS: Préparez-vous à lire d'un trait ce récit bouleversant et qui vous laissera sans mots. C'est l'histoire de Romain, marqué à jamais et renié par sa mère monoparentale, violente et alcoolique. Romain fut battu, enfermé et mal nourri. Adolescent, il fut abusé et violé par les maîtresses de l'amant de sa mère. J'avais l'envie de disparaître aux yeux d'autrui. J'avais envie que tout cela s'arrête. Mon corps n'en pouvait plus de toujours se laver et frotter pour enlever la saleté. Même si l'eau et le savon se mélangeaient à ma peau, je sentais toujours le viol, car maintenant je pouvais enfin l'affirmer. J'étais un enfant violé. On m'avait volé mon enfance et mon début d'adolescence. On m'avait détruit. Plus rien ne serait pareil maintenant. Adolescent anéanti, Romain parviendra-t-il à sortir de cet enfer, à sortir de l'ombre... ? Voilà un témoignage terriblement émouvant qui est malheureusement d'actualité encore aujourd'hui. À commander dès maintenant. À PROPOS DE L'AUTRICE: Caroline Perras est une autrice vivant à Sherbrooke, au Québec. Passionnée par l'écriture, elle se lance. Caroline a déjà trois romans à son actif.

He's alive! Back from dead? Still in grief with her pseudo family in hiding at the safehouse in Southern France, Ruby Draker is stunned as she monitors the security system and a photograph appears on the screen. The photograph shows the presumed-dead Robert Draker in a wheelchair at the Portland, Maine, physio clinic. Perhaps ex-spies never die. The Draker family immediately jumps into action and flies to the US to save Robert. But they no sooner land than they realize that not only is Robert harder to find than they'd anticipated, Felix, their deceased arch enemy, has left a legacy involving the Mafia and nuclear material. Even after death, Felix is haunting them with murder and mystery. Now the Drakers have to choose: save their beloved family member, or defend national security.It never ends. There are shadows that seem to follow the Drakers wherever they go.
