Small Bomb At Dimperley - Lissa Evans - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Small World - Matt Beaumont - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Friends, family, workmates. The woman you see at the bus stop every morning; the man who reaches for the last newspaper just before you get to it. Everyone you meet, and some you nearly meet, will have an impact on the way your day goes. Small World is the story of a group of men and women, living and working in a city, who are connected through love, work, friendship, or simply by virtue of proximity. We connect with the hearts and minds of characters including an all-coping housewife, a stressed out working mother, a put-upon nanny, a long-suffering journalist, an Indian waiter who dreams of stardom, a grieving shop assistant, a stand-up comic and a psychotic policeman - all of whom speak directly to us about their innermost thoughts, fears and desires in a series of interwoven first-person narratives.

Small Gods - Terry Pratchett - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Deftly weaves themes of forgiveness, belief and spiritual regeneration'' The Times The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . . ''Just because you can''t explain it, doesn''t mean it''s a miracle.'' In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was: ''Hey, you!'' This is the Discworld , after all, and religion is a controversial business. Everyone has their own opinion, and indeed their own gods, of every shape and size, and all elbowing for space at the top. In such a competitive environment, shape and size can be pretty crucial to make one''s presence felt. So it''s certainly not helpful to be reduced to appearing in the form of a tortoise, a manifestation far below god-like status in anyone''s book.In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast: for the Great God Om, Brutha the novice is the Chosen One – or at least the only One available. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please . . . ___________________ The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Small Gods is a standalone novel.

Notes From A Small Island - Bill Bryson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In 1995, before leaving his much-loved home in North Yorkshire to move back to the States for a few years with his family, Bill Bryson insisted on taking one last trip around Britain, a sort of valedictory tour of the green and kindly island that had so long been his home. His aim was to take stock of the nation''s public face and private parts (as it were), and to analyse what precisely it was he loved so much about a country that had produced Marmite; a military hero whose dying wish was to be kissed by a fellow named Hardy; place names like Farleigh Wallop, Titsey and Shellow Bowells; people who said ''Mustn''t grumble'', and ‘Ooh lovely’ at the sight of a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits; and Gardeners'' Question Time . Notes from a Small Island was a huge number-one bestseller when it was first published, and has become the nation''s most loved book about Britain, going on to sell over two million copies.

The Small Boat Of Great Sorrows - Dan Fesperman - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Vlado Petric, former detective in war-torn Sarajevo, has left his beloved homeland to join his wife and daughter in Germany, where he scratches a meagre living among the dust of former conflicts on the building sites of the new Berlin. Returning home one evening, he finds an enigmatic American investigator waiting for him in the small apartment he now shares with his wife and daughter. The investigator, Calvin Pine, works for the International War Crimes Tribunal, and he tells Petric that they want him to go to The Hague. It doesn''t take Petric long to accept, especially when Pine tells him they are after a big fish: one of the men who they think is responsible for the terrible massacre of Srebrenica. What Petric doesn''t know is that he is also being used as bait to lure into the open a murderer from the previous generation; a man whose activities in the Second World War makes the current generation of killers look like amateurs.As Petric travels from modern-day Germany, through the ruins of Bosnia, to the peaceful hills of southern Italy where bitter, unresolved tensions still crackle beneath the surface, the stakes become all too personal. And he soon finds that investigating the mysteries of the past can be every bit as dangerous as finding his way through the war zones of the present.

A Simple Plan - Scott Smith - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Every year, on 31 December, Hank and his older brother Jacob make a pilgrimage to their father''s grave. They have never been close - indeed, they have never even liked one another - but they keep this promise, made to their father before he died. This year Jacob''s friend Lou comes with them. As they drive towards the cemetery in Jacob''s truck through the snowbound landscape, a fox runs across the road, and they skid on the ice and crash. Jacob''s dog chases the fox through the deep snow. The three men follow him, beating their way through the drifts, until they come to a valley where they see a small plane, belly down in the snow. In the pilot''s seat is a dead man, his eyes pecked out by the crows. In the back they discover a duffle bag. In the bag is 4.4 million dollars.A Simple Plan is a novel that slowly but surely grips the reader by the throat as it unfolds in an inevitable and doomed spiral of events, through murder, betrayal and mass killing. From its deceptively simple beginning, to its horrific and surprising conclusion, it marks the début of an extraordinary new talent.

This Family of Things - Alison (author) Jameson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

On his way back up from the yard Bird had seen something white and round – a girl who had curled herself into a ball. Lifting her was like retrieving a ball of newspaper from out of the grass or an empty crisp bag that someone had flung over the ditch. She seemed to lack the bones and meat and muscle of real people. She felt as if she was filled with feathers. On the day Midge Connors comes hurtling into Bird Keegan’s life, she flings open his small, quiet world. He and his two sisters, Olive and Margaret, have lived in the same isolated community all their lives, each one more alone than the others can know. Taking in damaged, sharp-edged Midge, Bird invites the scorn of his neighbours and siblings. And as they slowly mend each other, family bonds – and the tie of the land – begin to weigh down on their tentative relationship. Can it survive the misunderstandings, contempt and violence of others?A poignant and powerful study of the emotional lives of three siblings and the girl who breaks through their solitude.

The Convictions of John Delahunt - Andrew Hughes - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Dublin, 1841. On a cold December morning, a small boy is enticed away from his mother and his throat savagely cut. This could be just one more small, sad death in a city riven by poverty, inequality and political unrest, but this killing causes a public outcry. For it appears the culprit – a feckless student named John Delahunt – is also an informant for the authorities at Dublin Castle. And strangely, this young man seems neither to regret what he did nor fear his punishment. Indeed, as he awaits the hangman in his cell in Kilmainham Gaol, John Delahunt decides to tell his story in this, his final, deeply unsettling statement . . .Based on true events that convulsed Victorian Ireland, The Convictions of John Delahunt is the tragic tale of a man who betrays his family, his friends, his society and, ultimately, himself. Set amidst Dublin’s taverns, tenements, courtrooms and alleyways and with its rich, Dickensian cast of characters, this compelling, at times darkly humorous, novel brilliantly evokes a time and a place, and introduces a remarkable new literary voice.

Shortlisted for the James Tait Black biography prize 2019 ''A moving memoir.'' Sunday Times ''Gripped me from the first page.'' Clover Stroud, author of My Wild and Sleepless Nights ''A gripping read... a riveting piece of writing.'' Radio 4 __________ What do our possessions say about us? Why do we project such meaning onto them? What becomes of the things we leave behind? Only after her mother''s death does Susannah Walker discover how much of a hoarder she had become. Over the following months, Susannah has to sort through a dilapidated house filled to the brim with rubbish and treasures - filling bag after bag with possessions. But what she''s really in search of is a woman she''d never really known or understood in life. This is her last chance to piece together her mother''s story and make sense of their troubled relationship. What emerges from the mess of scattered papers, discarded photographs and an extraordinary amount of stuff is the history of a sad and fractured family, haunted by dead children, divorce and alcohol. The Life of Stuff is a deeply personal exploration of mourning and the shoring up of possessions against the losses and griefs of life, which also raises universal questions about what makes us the people we are.__________ ''Compelling and moving.''

''Look after the dead'', said the priests, ''and the dead will look after you.'' Wise words in all probability, but a tall order when, like Teppic, you have just become the pharaoh of a small and penniless country rather earlier than expected, and your treasury is unlikely to stretch to the building of a monumental pyramid to honour your dead father. He’d had the best education money could buy of course, but unfortunately the syllabus at the Assassin''s Guild in Ankh-Morpork did not cover running a kingdom and basic financial acumen...
